Dalesred Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Oh my. My marriage is going through a very rough patch. Last night I lay down on the floor, curled up in the foetal position by Meg's bed and put my head on her warm, furry side as I wept tears of despair. She nuzzled me, and ever so gently, licked my tears away before resting her paw on my cheek. My heart is breaking and she knows it. If only he did. At the moment my Meg is the most precious thing on the planet. A dog's love is so very precious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieDog Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 ((hugs)) There's nothing quite like knowing you have a non-judgemental creature that is always there for you in tough times. It's no wonder dogs are so good for us to be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustopherJones Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 MY COMFORTER The world had all gone wrong that day And tired and in despair, Discouraged with the ways of life, I sank into my chair. A soft caress fell on my cheek, My hands were thrust apart. And two big sympathizing eyes Gazed down into my heart. I had a friend; what cared I now For fifty worlds? I knew One heart was anxious when I grieved— My dog's heart, loyal, true. "God bless him," breathed I soft and low, And hugged him close and tight. One lingering lick upon my ear And we were happy—quite. Anonymous Sidebar: Obviously, Bozo (your husband) does not deserve you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsnrs Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 You are so right. Spent the last whole week in bed with the flu. My Alfie was there day and night even though it was quite hot and I obviously was cold. What great dogs (we have Aussies but you could substitute any breed practically). Good luck with the marriage; so sorry to hear you two are having problems. Never fun to deal with but somehow it all works out for the best.

WyoBC Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 When we lsot our dear Sage I held Black Jack and cried into his fluffy furr. Then he licked them off and looked at me like "it's ok, things will get better" Then he tilted his ears off to the side and growled at me. (funny growl, not growling growl ) These guys can be so close to us, and know when we are having a tough time. Stay strong. Things always get better.

juliepoudrier Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'm sorry for your troubles. You're right though that a dog's love can soothe a lot of pain. Lucky you to have Meg, and lucky her to have you. And don't forget your great quote by Eleanor Roosevelt--words to live by in tough times. J.

PSmitty Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I totally believe that dogs know when we're hurting and offer comfort. I'm glad Meg is there for you during this hard time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
