his tongue.

Ever consider what our dogs must think of us?

I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul,

chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth.

I really like the one that says, we give what we can spare, they give their all. But I also like the one about if dogs don't go to heaven I wanna go where they go. And the one about them loving you more than they love themselves is great. And.........oh dang, who am I kidding, I love them all! Thanks Lance!

Being a lit hound, I love this one by Sir Walter Scott (1825):

 

Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit.

I agree with Dixie Girl! they are all good. Reading these, I think of another saying, that I almost totally apply to my critters, especially when dealing with the pain of losing one:

Tis better to have loved and lost...than never to have loved at all!

I rerun that in my head ALL the time, specially when I have a very sick pupper! :rolleyes:

It's like having 2 little voices on your shoulders, one saying "never again, it hurts too much to see them sick, or when they cross the rainbow bridge" pain beyond belief, then the other voice is totally cracking up laughing... knowing and saying.. yea right... you know you'll do it again, and again and............................I Do and I Will :D

If I remember my Sir Walter Scott correctly, in "Lady of the Lake", he wrote about Lufra, a dog belonging to the hero, Douglas. After calling her "the swiftest hound in all the north," he continues,

 

"Lufra, mighty Lufra!

Who, from Douglas's side

N'er threat nor bribe

Could 'er divide!"

 

My apologies for any misquote.
