She carried it everywhere--seeing Pig brought her back so vividly. She's the middle one in the photo, Muffet.<br /><br />In recent years, we adopt from the Humane Society. We've been fortunate and found great friends.

Nancy, I know the feeling. When you come home late to a dark house and your best friend is so excited to see you, it gives your spirit a huge lift. <br /><br />Think of all the research that shows people with dogs recover from illness and surgery significantly faster than others.

I call to Molly, my chow chow, when I drive by where my old house used to be. The tree she's buried under still stands.<br />My recent dog Quigley, part hound/part pitbull, is my shadow. He's sweet and funny and so human. Sometimes he drives me crazy, but then laura thomashttp://fuonlyknew.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932500187353859270.post-11378869064136338412012-11-20T18:27:57.273-05:002012-11-20T18:27:57.273-05:00Great post!

There's nothing better than coming home after a long day and being greeted at the door with a tail wag and a lick on the cheek. Jax sounds like an amazing character.

One, a German shepherd, brought home a deer. I'm sure some hapless hunter took it off his car and went in the house for a minute, only to find it missing when he returned. <br /><br />Ellis Vidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918353154644739285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932500187353859270.post-50793562487451402112012-11-20T12:35:23.975-05:002012-11-20T12:35:23.975-05:00Oh, and he whines.

Right now, we have Max. He's my son's dog, but because of his situation, he can't take care of Max. I understand. Max is a high-maintenance dog. He barks if we go outside. He runs away because he likes freedom, so we can't let him out without a leash, even in our back yard to do his business.
