..... as my life has changed and I seem to get further and further removed from my previous existence. But I do drop by from time to time to see if I can contribute in any way. Though generally by the time I see a thread it has already been answered with some good advice
Tomorrow is a momentous day for me. Those who have met me over the years might remember my wonderful Great Dane Phoebe, and I know all those who have owned a good dog will say there dog was one in a million, and Phoebe (in my eyes) certainly was one in a million
Despite being old and always adverse to travel, or even leaving the grounds much, came with me on my travel and adjusted to a strange new life with no complaints. Just being happy to be with me. Sadly old age got the better of her as she approached eleven and I lost her just eight weeks ago this last weekend.
The night she left me a new puppy was born to one of her relations at her breeders in Cheshire, and against all sense and reason I go to collect Little Miss Phoebe tomorrow afternoon.
I found this on the internet and it struck a chord
It came to me that every time I lose a dog[/size]They take a piece of my heart with them, And every new dog who comes into my lifeGifts me a piece of their heart. And should I live long enoughAll the components of my heart will be dog,And I will become as generous and loving as they are.
