Coco heard me sniffling and she came over to me and buried her head in my chest so we could cuddle together. She makes herself into a purring, cuddling lovey puppy when I need her. She laid there with me and purred so hard she sounded like she was snoring. Does your dog purr? I fell right to sleep and then I drooled all over her. She didn't seem to mind.
These pictures are from when we first moved into our house. I had to be in bed for a long time b/c I had a herniated disk, and Coco was my willing companion. How is it possible to love an animal so much? I never would believe it to be possible if I didn't know if first hand. Does your pet come to your rescue? Lets be mushy today and forget about how terrible the world can be.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWhat happened in CT is so awful that it seems strange to me that we're just keeping on with things, going about our business like it never happened. Why aren't we all marching on Washington (or in my case Ottawa) to make something happen? What's to be done?
I have a great dane who purrs. She's a rescue, and the most loving grateful being I've ever come across. I love her like she's my daughter.
I love Great Danes! Such sweet faces, I am so glad she found a happy home with you! I also really love a dog that purrs, it just melts my heart. Thank you for your comment.
Deleteyou had me at "puppy medicine"....no explanation needed
ReplyDeleteHi again, I just found this link to an online petition: http://www.avaaz.org/en/nra_enough/?fp

i'm horribly cranky as well. depressed, but don't want to fully admit it. i could use some of that puppy lovin' you've got there.
ReplyDeleteI love puppy medicine. And for the record, my dogs all snore. Especially the tiny one. I actually think it's adorable. Unlike my husbands snoring... that's a whole different story. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a more important note... I am right with you. I'm disgusted that our children aren't better protected. This has happened way to many times and it's just sickening. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteI need mushy-ness! I feel sad all over. A dog would be great too because they are the BEST when you're down and out. They are so intuitive...and soft...and snuggly. Feel better, Michele. This post sure helped me. x
ReplyDeleteI am super glad we could all be mushy together! I hugged and snuggled both of my puppies so much yesterday. I don't have kids, or I would be snuggling them and not letting them out of my sight!
ReplyDeleteMy Lord. The hurt of this incident just seems to get worse as it gets closer to Christmas. My eyes well up with tears with every mention of it.
ReplyDeleteBut as for puppies, I will always be grateful for a sweet boxer that we had while my mom was going through some heart problems that no doctor could seem to diagnose. She was having panic attacks often and claims that at three in the morning, when a panic attack would jolt her from her sleep, she would head to the front porch and curl up with our big boxer. He didn't try to talk her down. He simply loved her.
Couldn't we all learn a lesson from our sweet pets?
The depth of LOVE and OBSESSION I have for our dogs is crazy! I swear I'm that kid that hugs them too much and squeezes them too tight. I'll flake on or skip my early morning work-outs but I NEVER skip out on their morning runs to the park. It HAS TO HAPPEN as it makes them so very happy. They actually sit and wait by the door each morning waiting to go. How can you say no to that? You can't!
ReplyDeleteAww, that is so sweet, that you care so much about making your puppies happy.
