Thanks to Colin for this, a reminder that sometimes we take our best friends for granted.
Every now and then I come across a comment, a short story, a poem, or some other expression of life … that makes an emotional impact. I tend to save such writings because, who knows, there may come an opportunity to share such writings in the hope that a reader/listener may also experience an emotional impact. What follows is such a piece, and it is attributed to a J. D. Ellis.

Thanks for spreading the word Di. 🙂

I admit to wiping a tear or two away and now Pudge and Ziggy are putting their paws on my leg and looking at me with concern. Last night I watched a film entitled “A Dog’s Way Home” and while I found the narration irritating and the mistakes glaring (the dog in question was a hound of some lineage, NOT a pit bull; one character in the film insisted on referring to her that way) I still wept. If you haven’t seen that film and plan to, have some hankies. Pull your lovely Maggie close and hug her. ❤
Maggie is curled up at my feet directly under the fan. After reading Colin’s post, I made a fuss of her and took her for a walk, I felt that guilty!

We should never take them for granted! Never! They dont live forever, unfortunately, I wish they did! xo
It is so very hard when we lose them. 🙂
