Dear Dog

[TxDoc]

Dear dog,
thank you for being such a good friend and sharing many of your happy years with me. I hope you enjoyed our time together as much as I did.
And, yes, I am certain that you will have plenty of time to rest and play in Dobermann Heaven.
Find Peace.
Love,

Your mom who is feeling kind of lonely today

I am sorry It is indeed hard to lose a beloved pet, but if it is any consolation he looked quite happy!

[PamNY]

TxDoc, so sorry. That is indeed a photo of a happy dog. Sadly, our time with them never seems long enough.

Dear Cooper,
You are such a great guard dog and barker, but I have never seen a dog hightail it upstairs so fast because a bad guy was attaching someone ON TV!

Thanks for protecting me man....

Sorry for your loss . What a beautiful Dobie. He is probably running like that at the rainbow bridge.

Dear Puppygirl, I'm so glad you are feeling better. I was so scared you were going to be permanently disabled, back injuries in long dogs are not fun. I'll start weaning you off the muscle relaxers tomorrow. In the meantime, rest.

It sounds like she has the best of nurses on hand. It's so hard to see a pet in pain, tho.

Dear dog,
Thanks for insisting on the multiple daily walks. We've seen such cool things lately! Over the weekend, the fantastic night skies had me looking up astronomy sites, and I now know that we saw Venus and Jupiter up there. And then yesterday morning, wasn't it amazing to see that hawk swoop down and grab a squirrel?

Love, the holder of the leash

Dear Dog,

When it's as cold as it's been the last few mornings, it takes me longer to get ready for our walk. You have a built-in beautifully warm winter coat; I need to put on warmer pants and socks and boots and coat and hat and scarf and mittens. Don't worry, the walk will still happen, just have a little patience. And trying to climb into my lap while I'm putting on the boots won't make it happen any faster.

Dear Dog,

And trying to climb into my lap while I'm putting on the boots won't make it happen any faster.

And running off with my shoes only delays your departure as well!

Dear dog,

The cats are not interested in your pig's ear. Or doggy biscuits. Trust on this one. They might sniff them, but they are not going to steal them. Snarling and snapping at cats is not a good idea-- remember the scratched snout Mica's claws gave you?

I had a kitty who used to eat pig ears. He loved them. His vet ok'ed it - and he never needed a dental. Never say never

Dear Cody,

Yo do realize that you are part Labrador Retriever, and part Great Pyreneese or part Golden and part Pyreneese. But you are NOT a RAT TERRIER!!

I hope you don't get sick from catching and eating a field mice. You were so fast there was no way I could stop you. And now your mom is very worried that you might get sick or pick up some nasty worms or bugs.

Vet bills aside, I really hope you don't get sick.

And please do not catch and eat anymore field mice!!

Being vaccinated for Rabies, distemper are two that I know of. I think you do have other vaccination but that doesn't mean you can go out, catch and eat a field mice.

BAD BAD DOG!!!

Dear Chloe,

We don't have to get up at the crack of dark anymore, I'm retired. Let's try to sleep in to at least 7 am....please?

Dear Stella

You know how you use our walks to "hunt" squirrels and rabbits and scavenge under the picnic tables in the park? Well, from time to time I forage on our walks. Wild strawberry season is just starting! I'd appreciate it if you don't pull me into a tree while my head is down, looking for flashes of red in the green grass. Also, please be patient while I'm busy picking the berries.

Dear Stella

It's our 6 month anniversary! Thanks for using sad puppy eyes on me and convincing me to bring you home!

But I do wish you'd warned me about the shedding issue... The house is covered by a film of golden fur these days
