| | I am your dog and I have a little something I'd like to wisper in your ear. I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much to fast, often not noticing the truly grand things in life. Look down at me know, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The grey hairs are begining to ring my soft muzzle.
You smile at me and I see the love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrong doing for just a moment of your time? That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes, to be with me. So many times you have been saddened by the words you read on that screen, of others of my kind passing. Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly. Sometimes we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end, when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep to run free in a distant land.
I may not be here tomorrow. I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just one more day with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grives me. We have now together. So come sit next to me here on the floor, and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as an alpha, or a trainer, or even as a mom and dad. Come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look into one another's eyes and talk. I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I may tell you something profound about myself, or even about life in general. You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to share such things with. Someone very different from you;and here I am. I am a dog, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses, and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not think of you as a dog on two feet; I know what you are. You are a human, in all your quirkiness, and I love you still.
Now, come sit with me on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes and wisper into my ears. Speak with your heart and with your joy, and I will know your true self. We may not have tomorrow, and life is very short.
Love,
Your Dog

| Thanks Newfs, I have, without a doubt, learned mare about love and forgiveness from dogs than from any human I have ever known. Bless them all from their cold wet noseys to their furry little toeseys. | | | |

| | Very heart warming. Soo sadly is true. No matter how long you have them for- it doesn't seem long enough. But God only Lends them to us until he needs them back. | | | |

| | Gee thanks alot NEWFS! I swear my Charlie says "You just read something MUSHY on AA, didn't you Dad?" everytime someone posts a touching letter.
Yep, everytime we bring an animal into our heart we can expect a heartbreak. But it's still worth it. I consider every animal I've loved as much a blessing as my children.
Thanks for the touching letter, really.

| | I lost my Boxer "Ceaser" last week, their is nothing I wouldn't do
to have just one more day with him to say goodbye.
I guess it helps to know others have known how I feel. | | | |

Robbc1____ I am so sorry to hear you just lost your Boxer. Find comfort knowing Ceaser will always remain in your heart. I too, lost my first Newfie at a very young age
( 13 months old ) I certainly do know how sad you feel. Are fur babies are such a hugh part of our everyday lives. | | | |
