YOU WERE BORN APRIL 5, 2005
AND WHEN JOHN AND I SAW YOU
WE THOUGHT YOU WERE REALLY
PRETTY.
WE PURCHASED YOU AND
BROUGHT YOU HOME.
WE HAD GREAT HOPES FOR YOU
IN THE SHOW RING BUT YOU
JUST WAS NOT WHAT WE HAD
BEEN TOLD BUT WE STILL LOVED
YOU.
WE STILL HAD TO GET YOU A
NEW HOME AND WE FOUND YOU
A GREAT HOME YOU WERE
REALLY HAPPY. YOU PLAYED
AND WAS LEARNING OBEDIENCE.
BUT ON MARCH 28, 2006 YOU
GOT AWAY FROM THEM AND
HEADED FOR THE HIGHWAY
BECAUSE OF SOME UNCARING
PERSON YOU ARE NO LONGER
WITH US.
YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED.

JUST A DOG
From time to time, people tell me,, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog.: They don't understand
the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for
"just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once fell slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a
dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of"just a
dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog, " then you will probably
understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just
a promise."
"Just a dog"brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make
me a better person. Because of "just a dog", I will rise early,
take long walks and look longingly to the future, So for me and
folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the
hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past,
and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my
thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not"just a
dog", but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from
being "just a man or woman." So the next time you hear the
phrase "just a dog." just smile--because they"just don't
understand."
