Still wet behind the ears

Still wet behind the ears (3/9)

  1. A friend from Atlanta sent me this news clip because she knows we have 3 dogs now. Ironically, if you Googlesearch for Xylitol, it's touted by dentists and all sorts of folks as good for us because it doesn't promote tooth decay. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. http://www.cbs46.com/video/13667494/index.html Here Xylitol is raved about as a sugar substitute. http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/xyli..._sweetener.html
  2. Dear DeVon and Miss Amber, I'm crying with you. You did NOT fail Skittles - you saw her beauty and gave her a second chance. You loved her and shared her silly pictures with us, and gave her back the unconditional love she gave to you. We'll miss the stories about her, just like Lori Ann's. It's not fair that we outlive our best friends like this, but it is good to know that they await our arrival at the Bridge, and we'll be together again some day. I hope you can put the pieces of your heart together some day soon. You can't replace the Fruitbat, but other 4-legged friends will continue to come into - and out of - your lives. Please be gentle with yourselves - there was nothing you could do.
  3. Duke was a beautiful boy and sounds like a wonderful companion. He was taken from you very young. Please accept our condolences because even in our own grief over Susie, we are aware that other people have lost their fur kids, and they are also in pain and grief. They bring so much unconditional love, fun, sass, grit, beauty and other wonderful attributes, that we can't even consider not having them in our lives, even though we know that the chances are that we will certainly outlive them and have to grieve their absence. Be kind and gentle to yourself for a while.

    Susie

    Susie's Poem When I was a pup I loved to run with my siblings. We played and raced each other around the farm. Then the people taught me how to run in a circle and so I did, and I was good, and I was fast. And then I raced, and I was strong and I was good and healthy, and oh how I loved to run. And then suddenly I didn’t run anymore because my new person was elderly and frail; we watched a lot of TV. Then there were more people who didn’t really want me, but then I went to my last family. There were two younger dogs there and I liked watching them play. The people were good to me, too. They hugged and kissed me and called me a good girl, even when I woke them up in the middle of the night. And I ran then on the days I felt good. Not like before, but it was good to run because I remembered the old days. And finally it was time to go and I was sad because I wouldn’t run anymore. But I was surprised to find that once I slipped out of my old body, I could run fast again, fast like the wind, fast as a thought. One windy day when a gust of air roars in your ears, call my name - it just might be me running by, racing the wind.
