Jimmy Stewart's dog poem brought tears to both my wife and I

It is a shame that dogs do not live longer, like Parrots! Even our long-lived pups don't live that long compared their owners. So we must have to decide to get another pup, or to forgo "adopting" another to prevent further heartbreak. I have had many dogs over my lifetime, and it is always devastating when I loose them. But I alway choose to have another (or two!) Just seems like the joy of a new canine is worth the hurt later.

We now have Blitz: a male longhaired rescue doxie. Blitz and Trix, what a duo! c
