I love dog quotes! My favourite one is really long but here it is:

"He is my other eyes that see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him I am only another man. With him I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him I know a secret comfort and private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His prescence by my side is protection against my fear of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me...whenever...wher ever - in case I need him. And I expect I always will - as I always have. He is my dog." - Gene Hill

Hi Krysta,

I loved that quote. I can really relate to that, especially the part where it goes, "With him I know a secret comfort and private peace." That is so true for me. What I share with Capri is a love I've never known.

Bye, Grace

Wow, that brought tears to my eyes, Krysta! and I definitely got a laugh out of those, Grace! Doggies are the best.
