((((((Citrus)))))) I'm so terribly sorry. I know that ache too well and fear the day it comes for our dog who is about 16. Not sure of her actual age because she was adopted as a stray and all we got was an age-range. We've had her 13 yrs, tho. The ache will get less sharp as time goes by, but you will never forget her. I still sometimes call my cat by the name of the cat before her.

Copied from the Memoriam thread. I continue to appreciate your kind notes and prayers as I deal with the loss of Chloe. Thank you for thinking of me and taking the time to write. I received this in an email today. I'm posting it in honor of Chloe and all the joy and companionship she gave me. It is all so true. I couldn't help but smile through my tears. She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader. She will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion. -- Anonymous If I didn't have dogs . . . . I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there. I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several furry bodies would need to get comfortable. I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree -- dog bones, stuffed animals ,toys, treats - nor would I have to explain to people why I wrap them. I would have money ....and no guilt to go on a real vacation. I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grandkids thru college. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers. My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash. I would no longer have to Spell the words B-I-R-D, B-A-L-L, B-U-M-P-E-R-S, W-A-L-K, or T-R-E-A-T. I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside. I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much. I'd look forward to spring and the melting of snow instead of dreading mud season. I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many dogs?" from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get. How empty my life would be.

I think RC's breed is 1/4 chi, 1/4 doxie and 1/2 cutiepie!

I love the picture of Dylan and RC. The title is "Boy And His Dog". You can see RC leaning into Dylan and the look of pride on Dylan's face. Such a great shot.

Awesome photos, Pamy!! They're both adorable...er should I say Dylan is handsome?!! I guess he'd prefer that at his age. He definitely looks like part Chi to me. I'm not so good at picking out the "other parts" but Daschund sounds like a good bet!

WE NEED PUPPY NAMES!!! Hi everyone! We have a new pup and need your name ideas! He's a four to five month old mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Australian Shepherd. I'll try to post a pic today or tomorrow. We adopted him from the Humane Society yesterday and picked him up today Thanks in advance for your ideas. Of course, the name suggestion "Juju" goes without saying.

Hi Rosie- That's close to what I suggested: Ozzie, but no go. We want a name we both like. But thank you and keep the ideas coming, though!
