eeejay174   10 #1 Posted January 3, 2010 Found this posted on a rescue site that I frequent, I liked this, I have to admit, like I say, I don't usually go for these but there is the odd one that someone posts that sometimes, i feel I just have to cross post.....  Just a Dog  Before you contact me and ask for "just a dog", read the following:  From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance travelled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand    awwww I thought that was really nice!!!

Plain Talker   11 #2 Posted January 3, 2010 When you can count the pawprints that they make on your heart, they are NEVER  "just" a dog, or "just" a cat...  They give so much love back, and all they ask is to be fed and watered, a walkies and a scruffle...
