 a soon to be Princess & her dogs aboard ship headed to Monaco



More than a few of you mistakenly thought the last post called Requiem:Sophie's Choice was about my dog.  No, this is The Sophie I've written about a number of times. She will be missed by her friends (me) & family.

 My Zetta, (alive & well), wishes not to go by the way of urban legend-she is making her own.

stories about Zetta here




Then- there is My Beloved, in fact- some of my first posts, Dog Gone, are about Moses,(deceased).

stories about Moses here



Finally there is Argos, Sophie's adopted brother, written about initially- when he was skin & bone-literally.


& about Argos here
 this photograph is indeed of Argos-mistakenly identified as Sophie in the last post. We all make mistakes-but luckily there are few when it comes to our dogs.

then, there are other dogs in my life-but that's another story...

  2. I miss my Cavaliers, Ruby & Rumsey...they were with us 13 & 15 years respectively, and it still seems so fresh. I know they are with me in spirit.

  4. The true thing to do (if you can); is go find a "rescue who needs rescuing!!!) right away!!

    Not to "replace"; but to save a wonderful dog from euthanasia.....(4 million a year)!!

    someone said to me; when the day after we lost a "rescue dog we had for 17 years" "How can you possibly do this so quickly?"

    I said......"death row" in the shelter isn't waiting for me to 'process my grief'" there are the most wonderful dogs you can imagine......on "death row" and euthanized every single day!

    Go save one!

    Go on "Petfinders"! Every single breed has a rescue!

    Never, ever, ever BUY a dog!

    And if you have ever loved a dog; then go SAVE a dog!

    Get over YOURSELF!!! Go save a DOG!!

    Just my opinion!!!

  9. Gaye,

    My beloved Mother passed away on Jan. 26,'13 at the age of 86. She was a great dog lover! When my daughter and I were going through her souvenirs, we found a matchbox with "Duffy" written on. Duffy was my companion from about 4 or 5 years of age until I was a teenager, when he died. The matchbox contained a little clipping of his black fur. Thanks, Mom! I hope you and Duffy are re-united.
