Four-Legged Friends

Alessia, you might want to go play with the fish and bypass reading this post. In fact, I'm 100% positive you won't want to read this one. Actually, this isn't a post for those who hate dogs. Or touchy-feely stuff.

It's winter, the weather is crappy, and I have zero inspiration to take any pictures whatsoever. So, I decided to post some pics of my favorite four-legged friends (to add to the randomness of my entry topics).

"One thing I will never be in my life is one of those stereotypical crazy old cat ladies. Cats--ick." Hah, I just quoted myself.

I'm a dog person. Love them. When I think about it, it's probably because of the unconditional love they provide. I remember the dog I had when I was a child would always be there whenever I got hurt, licking the tears as they would run down my face. The dog I have now greets me in the morning when I wake up and when I come home from work. Dogs don't care what you wear, how much weight you've gained, or how much money you don't have. You give them a place to live, feed them, and take care of them. In return, they give you something you can't put a price on--unconditional love.

"We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment."

~George Eliot

"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive."

~Gilda Radner

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."

~Roger Caras

"Happiness is a warm puppy."

~Charles M. Schulz

This post is dedicated to Bridgy. She lost her life at a young age, but she touched my heart at a time when things were really rough for me. For this I am grateful. I miss her, but every time I think of her, it brings a smile to my heart.

we can never lose;

All that we love deeply,

becomes a part of us."
