Happy 10th Birthday, Dog



Dog Is My Co-Pilot.... and he turns 10 today.  I don't know where the time goes and I can't believe he's been with me for 10 years but I'm grateful for every day he's been in my life.  I can only hope for many more, as I can't imagine life without the unconditional love of this walking ball of fur.
He knows all my secrets, has seen me at my worst, loved me at my best, played the fool when I needed to laugh, kept me warm on nights too cold, and been my reason for living when I felt I couldn't go on. 

I only hope I can be all for him that he's been for me and continue to give him the best life for each precious day I have left with him.  I cherish them all.

My heart is full because of you, 
Harrison Buffett.  You rescued me more than I could've ever rescued you.  xoxoxoxox
 “He is my other eyes that can 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 job abounded. 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 a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me… whenever… wherever – in case I need him. And I expect I will – as I always have. He is just my dog.”   ~Gene Hill
