I can’t remember not having a dog. One dog was always part of my life as a child. Since I’ve been an adult, I’ve never had less than two and never more than three.
I didn’t plan on having three dogs. Russ came into my life when he was 3 years old. My husband rescued him and Russ and I developed a special bond. Russ went to heaven when he was only 8 years old because of a brain tumor. It has been one year and we still miss him terribly.
So, today, we have TWO dogs. Manda, the oldest is 16 years old. Ned, the baby is now 10 1/2 years old. They are incredible companions. Ned is 55# and we rescued him when he was a puppy. Manda is 10# and is in charge.
The love from dogs makes all the work and expense worthwhile. There’s nothing like being greeted by the dogs.
I can’t imagine ever loving again but I also can’t imagine life without dogs. They add so much to my life everyday.
