“I can't think of anything that brings me closer to tears than when my old dog - completely exhausted after a hard day in the field - limps away from her nice spot in front of the fire and comes over to where I'm sitting and puts her head in my lap, a paw over my knee, and closes her eyes, and goes back to sleep.

(I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.)” ThinkingWayReasonShowsEyeCareHurtWorrySeaDogWindThousandEarsSickCloudsLegsReach OutSmallestTailsMy DogCanineDog LoverOld DogPet LossI Love My DogLove My DogDog GriefPet GriefHeaven And DogsPets In HeavenAbove The Clouds Author:Gene Hill
