Tom T Hall sings the things that make life worth livin are old dogs, children and watermelon wine and I have to agree with him.
My loyal companion of 14 years is gone. She passed away two weeks ago.
It's sad to loose a good dog. Dog people get broken hearts through out their lives. Our dogs have shorter life spans than we humans.
Fluffy would have been in her 90's in dog years and she was still going on walks with me until the week before she died. She couldn't hear well or see much out of her cloudy eyes. At times she would run off into the woods following a sent trail and not be able to find me again. She would be waiting back at the house when I returned wondering when we where going on our walk.
We got Fluffy when our daughter Dawn was three years old. Dawn insisted on naming this collie cross Fluffy and she did look like a little fluff ball.
Once when Fluffy was still a small pup Dawn and I where taking a walk out in the field. We had a bunch of young horses that enjoyed running around bucking and kicking up their heels. As these colts and fillies came rushing towards us Fluffy positioned herself between Dawn and the renegade horses and barked ferociously at them.
Fluffy spent her life as a farm dog always ready to protect the chickens from any predators coming their way.
She led a good and useful life.
We will miss you Fluffy

Sorry for your loss.
There are dogs and there are good dogs, but Fluffy was a really good dog. We will all miss you, sweet girl.
Awww, I'm so sorry!
I can definitely sympathize with you. We lost our 14 yr old collie mix almost a year ago. I still miss her.
I'm so sorry you lost such a great friend!

Ah so sad to lose a good friend..yes with pets you must expect that you will outlive them..but it still hurts..I am sorry:(
Oh boy. How hard is this! You are right - if you are n animal lover you have heart ache along the way - they become a part of our families. Fluffy is rockin it out in a big field in the sky right now and lovin it. She was such a pretty dog.
So sorry you lost Fluffy. She was such a sweet, and stinky, little dog.
Love that picture of Dawn!
