I Just Realized...I'm 100 Percent Dog!

Yesterday I took my 14y/o mixed breed dog to the vet to be euthanized. She was in ailing health and deteriorating fast. She's been a great companion over those years and it was time to release her from her suffering.

While at the vets office I saw a plaque on the wall with the following inscription. "It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are. - Unknown.

Over the last 30 years Lauren and I've been married we've had 7 dogs. Over that period of time five of them lived a total of 65 years before they passed on. Since I'm 65y/o I'm just an old dog. And I'm perfectly fine with that.
