It only took one look

I was hooked...

I had to have him...make him mine forever!

While there was name confusion - the face could not be forgotten

What was a consellation prize fell into our hearts forever

He came into not just our home, but our family

Permanently he was ours, that would not change

Baby steps we took as we got to know each other...

Once we were comfortable he became more than a dog

He was a smile, a pant, ears perked when he heard a familiar voice

He came to depend on us

We came to depend on him

We were hooked!

Through thick and thin

He was ours!

A Moment in Our Lives...

An eternity in our hearts!

I'm sorry for your loss mama.  I've grown up with pets my entire life and am so attched to ours now.  So is my husband. Thank goodness we share the deep love of animals together! It's just nice to have that in common and our pets are defintely family in our eyes.  Big Hugs~
