I thought that I was well loved

[LizStreithorst]

At least I thought I was loved when 7 of my 9 dogs were surrounding me.  Then I heard the thunder

[PaulineMi]

That's funny Liz.   

[BallAquatics]

Made me smile too.

LOL....same here.....LOL...but we only have four....well nine if you count the birds too, but they're caged and can't bug us much..

That is too funny, My little dog will try and hide under me when it storms.

[Ron Sower]

Too funny, Liz! Hope you're not too disappointed!

Maybe you should get a thunder machine.

Maybe you should get a thunder machine.

Naw,  I don't need one of those.  They all love me, each in it's own way just as I love them for what I see in each of them. 

I can't say that I value them equally.  I will always have a best dog.  I have a new best dog now.  I'd told him long beforehand that he was next in line.  After I had to put my number one dog to sleep I told Saint Puppy that he was number one.  I've seen what's in him.  He has what it takes.  I still wish I could have my old best dog back, but I did the hardest kindest thing.  I insisted on holding off her vein.  I always do that as a last gesture of respect.

Liz that's kind of you.  I hold my dogs in my arms while they are passing.
