| ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES IS "A DOG'S PURPOSE"....... I LOVE A MOVIE WHERE YOU START CRYING TEN MINUTES IN.... I BELIEVE WE HAVE ALL LIVED BEFORE.... SO IT JUST MAKES SENSE THAT IT'S THE SAME WITH DOGS... WHY IS THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY SO SHORT.....SIMPLY SO WE CAN ENJOY THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES THAT THEY ALL HAVE.... THINK ABOUT IT...... HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DOG THAT WAS EXACTLY LIKE YOUR LAST.... WE HAVEN'T.....EACH OF OUR 9 PUPS HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT..... MEET BUSTER.....THE LOVE OF MY LIFE...... WE HAD A GAGGLE OF GOLDEN RETRIEVERS AND ONE HAD JUST PASSED AWAY..... SHE DIED IN HER SLEEP AND BELIEVE ME THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THEN WAKING UP TO FIND YOUR DOG DEAD ALONG SIDE YOUR BED STIFF AS A BOARD...HORRIFYING..... I STILL HAVE THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD.....IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE... |
 |
| YES I REALIZE HE IS PEEING IN THIS PICTURE BUT LET'S JUST SAY HE WAS HALF GOLDEN RETRIEVER/HALF POINTER..... I WAS AT MY VET TO PICK UP SOME PAPERWORK AND THERE WAS A YOUNG WOMEN HOLDING THIS BLACK BALL OF FUR IN HER LAP..... ASKING IF IT WAS A NEWFOUNDLAND PUP SHE SAID NO..... HE HAPPENED TO BE THE ONLY BLACK PUPPY IN AN ALL GOLDEN RETRIEVER LITTER..... NOBODY WANTED HIM...... SHE SAID HE WAS THERE FOR HIS LAST SHOTS AND WOULD I LIKE HIM..... A SUCKER FOR FLUFFY DOGS I SAID I WOULD HAVE TO ASK MY HUSBAND IF WE COULD GET ANOTHER DOG SINCE WE ALREADY HAD FOUR GOLDENS ATHOME.... |
 |
| OF COURSE I COULD GET HIM.... THIS CUTE LITTLE FAMILY BROUGHT HIM OVER THAT SAME NIGHT WITH THEIR THREE LITTLE CHILDREN TO MAKE SURE HE WAS GOING TO A GOOD HOME.... THE KIDS WERE SO CUTE THEY HAD ALREADY NAMED HIM BUSTER.... YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THREE LITTLE CUTE KIDS.... SO HE REMAINED BUSTER..... |
 |
| THEY SAY BLACK DOGS ARE THE LEAST POPULAR DOG BUT I DISAGREE....... I THINK THEY ARE GORGEOUS....LOOK AT THAT SHINY FUR.... AND SUCH A SWEET FACE.... |
 |
| I COULD ASK BUST FOR A KISS AND HE ALWAYS COMPLIED.... YOU CAN'T SEE IN THE PICTURE BUT HIS TONGUE WAS HUGE.... I HAD TO GO OUT TO WORK THE NIGHT WE GOT HIM AND THE WHOLE TIME I WAS GONE HE SAT NEXT TO THE BOSS ADJUSTING TO HIS NEW HOME.... |
 |
| IT DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO BECOME JUST ANOTHER GOLDEN IN THE CROWD....... THAT IS "CHERRY COKE" IN THE BACKGROUND AKA: SISSY..... GUNTHER THE GENTLE AND SLIGHTLY DUMB GOLDEN...... NAMED AFTER GUNTHER TOODY FROM THE 1950'S SHOW "CAR 54".... HE ALWAYS HAD A LOOK ON HIS FACE LIKE IF HE WERE TO TALK ALL THAT WOULD COME OUT WOULD BE.... "OO....OO" |
 |
| CELEBRATING HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY WITH DAUGHTER.... |
 |
| ALWAYS LOOKED A BIT ON THE SAD SIDE..... MAYBE HE KNEW HE WAS THE "BLACK SHEEP" OF THE FAMILY...... BUT I LOVED HIM TO DEATH..... |
 |
| HE DROVE ALL THE WAY TO ITHACA New York WITH ME ..... HERE WE ARE NAPPING AT DAUGHTERS APARTMENT WHILE SHE WAS IN LAW SCHOOL. I DROVE THROUGH THE HOLLAND TUNNEL TO GO THROUGH THE CITY TO PICK UP DAUGHTER FROM HER SUMMER INTERNSHIP AND HE WAS SO FUNNY....DRIVING THROUGH CHINATOWN HE GOT SO EXCITED..... HE SAT STRAIGHT UP IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND WAS FASCINATED BY ALL THE PEOPLE CROSSING THE STREETS EVERY TIME WE HAD TO STOP FOR A LIGHT..... HE WAS LIKE A KID THE FIRST TIME SEEING DISNEYWORLD... |
|
| SAME PICTURE AS ABOVE BUT INSTEAD OF A SAD LOOK THIS WAS HIS "I THINK I DID SOMETHING BAD LOOK"..... HE SURE DID.... WE HAD A DOG DOOR IN OUR GARAGE LEADING OUT TO A CONCRETE RUN.... WHILE WE THOUGHT HE WAS OUT IN THE RUN HE WAS IN THE GARAGE EATING THE REAR FENDER OFF OF DAUGHTERS NEW Jeep Wrangler...... TWICE.....(THE FENDERS ARE PLASTIC) YES...INSURANCE PAID BOTH TIMES....IT WAS COVERED UNDER COMPREHENSIVE OF WHICH WE NEVER CARRY A DEDUCTIBLE.... JUST FOR A CASE LIKE THIS..... |
 |
| IN LOOKING FOR PICTURES TO WRITE THIS POST I CAME ACROSS THIS CARD.... IT PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL.... |
 |
| WE CALLED HIM BUSTY FOR SHORT..... HE WROTE THE CARD FOR GUNTHER.... BY THIS TIME WE HAD LOST OUR FIRST GOLDEN "SPRITE" "SISSY PASSED AWAY" AND BECAUSE I WAS WORKING SO MUCH WE RE-HOMED SISSY AND GUNTHER'S SON "ISADORE"...... |
 |
| THE ONE THING THAT MADE BUSTER SO SPECIAL WAS THIS ONE THING...... HE KNEW WHEN I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY OR WAS UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING... MOST DOGS HAVE THIS SENSE.....AND MOST PEOPLE WILL SAY THEIR DOGS CAN SMILE....AND I HAVE SEEN ON FACEBOOK DOGS THAT ACTUALLY CAN SMILE.. ONE DAY IN PARTICULAR THAT I CAN STILL SEE IN MY HEAD.... I WAS SITTING IN MY BEDROOM UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING.... HE SLOWLY WALKED IN TO THE ROOM WALKED RIGHT UP TO ME AND FLASHED A BIG REAL PERSON TOOTHY SMILE..... AS TO SAY "DON'T BE SAD YOU HAVE ME"........ HE WAS RIGHT...I HAD HIM AND HE HAD ME AND WE SAVED EACH OTHER..... HE DIED IN MY ARMS AT THE AGE OF 12......NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN. JUMP AHEAD 20 YEARS PLUS.......... |
 |
| I'M ON ALL THE Great Pyrenees FACEBOOK SITES AND ONE NIGHT I SAW A SHARED POST ABOUT A PYR IN NEED AT A SHELTER... BUT THE POST CAME OUT OF FLORIDA......LOOKING CLOSER AT THE ATTACHED LINK I SEE "GEORGIA" UP COMES COBB COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER IN MARIETTA.....THE COUNTY SHELTER IS A FEW MILES FROM MY HOME.... HE HAD BEEN THERE TWO DAYS ON A 7 DAY HOLD. SOPHIE WAS VISITING FROM New York AND I ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO GO GIVE SOME LOVE TO A SHELTER DOG.... SO WITH A BAG OF TOYS AND DOG BISCUITS AND LOTS OF LOVE TO GIVE WE WENT OVER TO SEE DOG IN CAGE #21..... NO INTENTIONS AT ALL OF GETTING ANOTHER DOG....MUCH LIKE BUSTER #1..... THE YOUNG ATTENDANT BROUGHT HIM IN TO THE ROOM AND AS I SAT DOWN ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR HE SLOWLY WALKED IN LIKE AN 80 YEAR OLD MAN..... THE SADDEST EYES YOU HAVE EVER SEEN AND THE STINKIEST DOG YOU HAVE EVER SMELLED.... I CALLED HIM OVER AND THE YOUNG MAN ASKED IF I WANTED HIM TAKEN OFF HIS LEASH.....OF COURSE I SAID YES..... I GAVE HIM A BIG LONG HUG AND CRIED MY EYES OUT..... SUE COMBS OUT IN OHIO JUST GOT UP FROM READING THIS TO GET A BOX OF TISSUES.....AM I RIGHT SUE???? THE CONDITION OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL WAS AWFUL..... HE WAS FILTHY DIRTY WITH MUD CAKED ON HIS SORE FEET.... HE HAD THE WORST EAR INFECTION I HAVE EVER SEEN.......WITH BLACK DRIED BLOOD CAKED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDE OF HIS FACE. ...... YOU COULD TELL THE PAIN HE WAS IN..... I GAVE HIM SOME TREATS GAVE HIM ANOTHER HUG.....AND WE LEFT. I STOPPED AT THE FRONT DESK TO ASK HOW MANY NAMES WERE ON THE LIST FOR HIM....SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE...... I THOUGHT WHAT THE HELL MAYBE THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE I MIGHT GET HIM. SOMEONE NEEDED HIM OUT OF THERE.... LATER THAT DAY WE TOOK BACK THE BOSS....I AM A SUCKER FOR FLUFFY DOGS IN NEED.... HE AGREED WE SHOULD COME BACK AT THE ALLOTTED TIME THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY AND IF HE'S MEANT TO BE OURS WE WOULD GET HIM..... BEFORE LEAVING WE TOLD THAT ATTENDANT THAT SHOULD WE GET HIM WE WOULD TAKE HIM THAT SAME DAY TO OUR VET TO BE NEUTERED, ALL SHOTS AND A CHIP INSTALLED.... I BROUGHT TO HIS ATTENTION HIS HORRIBLE EAR INFECTION AND TOLD HIM THE DOG WAS CLEARLY IN DISTRESS..... HE SAID HE WOULD LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THEIR IN HOUSE VET. THAT WAS ON THURSDAY THE 15TH OF AUGUST. I CALLED BACK ON FRIDAY THE 16TH AND ASKED TO TALK TO THE VET ABOUT HIS EAR AND THEY SAID SHE WAS UNAVAILABLE.....BUT THEY WOULD PASS THE MESSAGE TO HER. I SPECIFICALLY SAID HIS EAR NEEDED TO BE ATTENDED TO BEFORE THE WEEKEND TO RELIEVE SOME OF HIS PAIN..... IT WAS FUNNY EVEN COMING FROM A CHILD WHEN WE WERE LEAVING ON THURSDAY AFTER BEING PUT ON THE LIST SOPHIE SAID TO THE WORKER BEHIND THE DESK......SHE HAPPENS TO BE PUSHY LIKE HER GRANDMOTHER... "YOU NEED TO GIVE THAT PYRENEES A BATH HE'S FILTHY".... SHE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING THEY USED TO DO BUT NO LONGER CLEANED UP THE ANIMALS DURING THEIR HOLD TIME. ALL WEEKEND LONG,.... NOW WITH SOPHIE BACK IN New York,.....I WAS A MESS.... WHAT TO DO....WHY BOTHER TO GO BACK ON TUESDAY TO BE DISAPPOINTED OR TO SEE SOMEONE WHO I FELT WAS NOT FIT TO HANDLE THIS TYPE OF DOG... YES...WHEN YOU HAVE OWNED MULTIPLE PYRENEES YOU THINK OF THESE THINGS..... WHAT IF HE AND MONTY DON'T GET ALONG....AND THEN THERE'S THE CRAZY FERAL CAT WHO COMES AND GOES LIKE HE'S LIVING AT THE WALDORF.... WE DISCUSSED THIS ALL DAY MONDAY....THE BOSS INSISTED AND WHEN THE BOSS INSISTS YOU CAN TELL HE MEANS IT....IT'S THE ITALIAN IN HIM....INSISTS MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS....CASE CLOSED.... TUESDAY MORNING COMES AND WE GET TO THE SHELTER A HALF HOUR BEFORE THE ALLOTTED TIME...ALONG WITH A GAGGLE OF OTHER PEOPLE ALL EXCITED HOPING THEY WOULD BE THE NUMBER CHOSEN FOR THE PET THEY WERE THERE FOR.... WE SCOPED EVERYONE OUT WONDERING WHO #1 ON THE LIST WAS.... 9:30 COMES AND WE ALL RUSH INSIDE.....THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE AHEAD OF US.... ONE BY ONE THEY CALL THE PERSONS NAME....YOU PAY A VERY FAIR FEE OF $115.00 WHICH INCLUDES SPAYING OR NEUTERING....INSTALLING A CHIP AND ALL SHOTS.... IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR OWN VET YOU STILL PAY THE FEE BUT WE WERE FINE WITH THAT...... WE WERE TOLD THAT AHEAD OF TIME....OUR VET DR. B HAS NEUTERED MANY A DOG FOR US OVER THE YEARS WITHOUT ISSUE.... IT'S NOW TIME FOR DOG IN CAGE 21 THE Great Pyrenees...... I THINK WE BOTH HELD OUR BREATH AND THEN I HEAR...... "SUZANNE ADIVARI HE'S YOURS"...... MY HORMONES MUST NEED ADJUSTING BECAUSE I JUST BROKE DOWN IN TEARS.... SOMEONE FROM PENNSYLVANIA SENT ME A MESSAGE ON FB THAT SHE HAD A PERSON IN GEORGIA WHO WAS #1 ON THE LIST AND THEY WERE GOING TO SHIP THE DOG UP TO HER. THE COUNTY WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS SO I WON THE LOTTERY THAT DAY....... I GO UP TO PAY AND SIGN ALL THE PAPERS AND I MENTION THAT HE WOULD BE GOING DIRECTLY TO THE VET WHO WAS ON CALL TO SEE US AND THEN ON TO OUR GROOMER.... TO OUR SURPRISED WE ARE TOLD HE WAS ALREADY IN SURGERY AND WE COULD COME BACK AT 5:00 FOR HIM......VET IS CALLED AND CANCELLED...GROOMER IS CALLED AND CANCELLED...... WE PICK HIM UP AT 5:00....SQUEEZE HIM INTO THE BACK OF THE VW BUG..... HEY I'M AN ANIMAL LOVER BUT I WAS NOT ABOUT TO PUT THIS STINKY DOG IN MY MASERATI SUV..... THEY NEVER CLEANED HIM BEFORE SURGERY.......HE WAS AS FILTHY AS THE WEEK BEFORE AND HIS EAR WAS IN WORSE CONDITION.....IT WAS HORRIBLE.... THE PICTURE ABOVE IS WHEN WE FIRST GOT HIM HOME... |
 |
| BRIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY HE'S AT DR. B'S...... HE IS GIVEN A SOMEWHAT GOOD BILL OF HEALTH EXCEPT FOR THIS PRETTY SERIOUS EAR INFECTION.....HE CHECKS OUT HIS SURGERY AND BEING THE NEXT DAY ALL LOOKED OKAY......SO WE THOUGHT..... I SAID PLEASE CHECK HIM OVER GOOD BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY A FEW DAYS TO RETURN HIM IF HIS HEALTH IS BAD..... HE LAUGHED BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW WE FEEL ABOUT THESE DOGS AND SAID... "EVEN IF HE HAD A HEALTH ISSUE YOUR NOT TAKING THIS GUY BACK I CAN SEE HE ALREADY HAS BONDED WITH YOU"..... TRUE ENOUGH..... NEXT STOP SLEEPY HOLLOW KENNELS WHERE WE BOARD OUR DOGS FOR A GOOD CLEANING..... |
 |
| NOW THIS IS THE COLOR OF A PYRENEES...... HE WAS SO GOOD AND SO TOLERANT AND WE HAD NO IDEA THE PAIN HE REALLY WAS IN...AND NOT JUST FROM HIS EAR..... HE AND MONTY GOT ALONG LIKE THEY WERE LITTER MATES.... THEY ACTED LIKE BOTH HAVE LIVED TOGETHER SINCE BIRTH.... IT WAS AMAZING TO WATCH.... MONTY ALSO KNEW BUSTER WAS NOT FEELING WELL AND RESPECTED THAT..... |
 |
| THEIR FIRST MEET AND GREET....... BEST BUDDIES FROM THE START..... THAT'S MONTY IN THE FOREFRONT WITH THE RED COLLAR.... |
 |
| SETTLING IN FOR THE NIGHT ON BOTH HIS NEW BED AND MONTY'S BED...... MONTY UNDERSTOOD...... PROBABLY THE BEST NIGHT SLEEP HE HAD IN A LONG TIME.... |
 |
| A HEFTY GUY HE CERTAINLY HAD BEEN GETTING FED.....BY WHO....WHO KNOWS????? LITTLE DID WE KNOW WHAT WE WERE ABOUT TO ENCOUNTER....IT WAS TRULY HEARTBREAKING......BUT THROUGH IT ALL HE NEVER GOT NASTY OR GROWLED.... HE KNEW WE WERE THERE TO HELP HIM AND HE SEEMED TO APPRECIATE THAT.... NOW DON'T LAUGH AT THE NEXT PICTURE.....WELL GO AHEAD AND LAUGH.... |
 |
| LEAKING FROM SURGERY GONE BAD HE HAD TO WEAR SIZE 3XL UNDERPANTS....HE WAS VERY COOPERATIVE GETTING THEM PUT ON LIFTING ONE LEG AT A TIME.....TEN MINUTES LATER HE FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THEM OFF.....I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT A BLACK LIGHT WOULD FIND ON OUR CARPETS.... |
 |
 |
| SWEETEST THING EVER AND TOTALLY UNEXPECTED....... MR./MISS KITTY THE TRANSGENDER FERAL CAT DECIDED ONE NIGHT TO JUST GO OVER AND CUDDLED UP TO BUSTER WHILE HE WAS ON HIS BED....THE CAT EVEN KNEW BUSTER NEEDED CARE.... |
 |
| ON THURSDAY AUGUST 22ND. HE TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORST.... I HAVE PLENTY OF PICTURES BUT I WILL SPARE YOU BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING FRIGHTENING.... I CALLED THE VET AND SAID HIS TESTICLE SAC WAS STARTING TO SWELL.... THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL FOR SOME SWELLING TO WHICH MY RESPONSE WAS "I THOUGHT THEY CUT THOSE THINGS OFF.......I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS FOR THE NEXT 8 TO 10 YEARS"..... WHEN DR. B DID OUR OTHER MALES THERE WAS NOTHING TO SEE EVEN THE DAY AFTER SURGERY.....IT WAS GETTING PRETTY GROSS.... BY SATURDAY I KNEW SOMETHING WAS TERRIBLY WRONG AND OF COURSE AS MOST HUSBANDS DO.... THEY THINK US LADIES EXAGGERATE ALL MEDICAL SITUATIONS.... HEY MOST OF US HAVE BEEN THROUGH BIRTH..... WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL... THIS THING WAS GROWING LIKE A GRAPEFRUIT.... I ASKED THE BOSS TO JUST TAKE A LOOK AND HE SAID... AS ONLY THE BOSS COULD........ "DIDN'T THE VET SAY SWELLING CAN BE EXPECTED DON'T MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE THEN IT IS"......NOT EVEN A PEEK...... AT 5:00 P.M. THE BOSS DECIDES THE KIDS ACROSS THE STREET.... INCLUDING TWO YOUNG TEEN BOYS SHOULD MEET THE NEW DOG... BY NOW THE THING OR THINGS WERE THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL ALMOST TOUCHING THE GROUND... I THOUGHT OKAY.....YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD..... TAKE HIM OUT AND SCAR THESE YOUNG BOYS BEFORE THEY EVEN TURN 15..... TWO.....MAYBE THREE SECONDS LATER HE COMES BARGING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.....DOG IN TOW AND SAYS IN A PANIC VOICE..... "HE NEEDS TO GET TO AN EMERGENCY VET IMMEDIATELY " OH DO YOU THINK?????????? |
 |
| AT THE EMERGENCY VET UNTIL MIDNIGHT SHE SAID IN HER LONG CAREER SHE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS..... GAVE HIM A SHOT...SOME MEDS TO TAKE HOME....TRIED TO DRAIN IT BUT NOTHING WOULD COME OUT.... HE REMAINED SWEET THE ENTIRE TIME AND NEVER MADE A PEEP.... NEXT MORNING BACK TO DR. B WHO SAID THE SAME THING... "NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS" WE ARE NOW INTO OUR FOURTH WEEK..... THE VET WILL SOON HANG A SIGN IN HIS OFFICE WITH OUR PICTURE SAYING "THE ADIVARI'S OUR FOUNDERS"........ HE STILL IS FIGHTING HIS EAR INFECTION AND ALTHOUGH HIS SWELLING HAS COME DOWN ABOUT 75% ....YOU CAN STILL SEE THINGS SWINGING WHEN HE DOES HIS PYRENEES SWAGGER THAT THEY DO..... SURGERY CAN BE DONE IF THEY DON'T FULLY SHRINK BUT DR. B DOESN'T ADVISE IT..... AT LEAST HE WILL NEVER BE LIKE GEORGE FROM SEINFELD IF HE GOES IN OUR POOL.....THERE WILL BE NO SHRINKAGE..... |
 |
| CRAZY AUNT JOYCE GAVE HIM HIS FIRST TOY...... I HAVE A FEELING IT WAS THE FIRST TOY HE HAS EVER HAD.... |
 |
| HERE THEY ARE ALWAYS SIDE BY SIDE........ THANK GOD I JUST GOT A NEW WHITE COUCH.....DO THEY SHED SOMEONE ASKED... YES BUT NOT LIKE YOU WOULD THINK..... MY CAR IS A MESS EVEN WITH A CANVAS SEAT PROTECTOR BUT BETWEEN DAILY DUST MOPPING AND THE CLEANING CREW COMING TWICE A MONTH IT'S NOT TOO BAD..... |
 |
| BUT WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE...????? A NICE CLEAN... HAIR FREE..... NICE SMELLING HOUSE.... OR THIS? |
 |
| A WONDERFUL GIFT FROM #1 ANIMAL LOVER SUE COMBS IN OHIO.... |
 |
| AN ANGEL HOLDING A PUPPY SENT TO ME FROM DEAR WENDY IN WISCONSIN.... YES I KNOW....VERY ODD TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOUR EX-SON- IN- LAWS EX-GIRLFRIEND....WE SOMEHOW BONDED..... WE ARE BOTH CRAZY WITH A LITTLE "c"....not a big "C'.....AS SHE LIKES TO SAY......THOSE ARE THE REALLY CRAZY PEOPLE WHO DON'T REALIZE THEY ARE CRAZY....THE BIG "C" PEOPLE. |
 |
| FAMOUS FOR HAVING PICTURES OUT OF ORDER...... THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MUG SUE SENT...... SUE.....IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DEPICTION OF THIS BREED..... |
 |
| SO IN CLOSING....YES I COULD GO ON BUT I HATE TO BORE PEOPLE :) WHEN YOUR GROWING UP AND YOUR MOTHER MAKES YOU TERRIFIED OF DOGS BECAUSE SHE IS TERRIFIED OF DOGS......EXPECT AS AN ADULT TO HAVE AN UNUSUAL ATTRACTION TO THE BIGGER THE BETTER ANIMALS..... HERE I WAS BACK IN THE 80'S (SEE THAT HEAD OF HAIR) WITH FOUR OF OUR FIVE GOLDENS WE HAD AT ONE TIME... LEFT TO RIGHT..... THAT IS "SPRITE"...."GUNTHER" ......"CHERRY COKE" AKA: SISSY..... AND GUNTHER AND SISSY'S SON ISADORE.... MISSING WAS.... OF COURSE..... WHAT THIS STORY WAS ALL ABOUT.... MY BUSTER..... JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIE "A DOG'S PURPOSE"....... I THINK NEW BUSTER COULD BE THE OLD BUSTER...... I HAD ZERO PLANS ON GETTING ANOTHER DOG.... ON BOTH DAYS.... WHEN I ENDED UP BRINGING THEM BOTH HOME........ TWO ANIMALS NOBODY WANTED BUT I SAW PAST THAT AND KNEW THEY BOTH REALLY NEEDED A HOME AND LOTS OF LOVE..... IF SOPHIE HAD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE I PROBABLY NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE SHELTER THAT DAY.....TOO LAZY.... SO THANK YOU MISS B FOR FINDING ME MY NEW BUSTER.... THE BOSS SUGGESTED THE NAME...... IT WILL REALLY SEAL THE DEAL THE DAY HE WALKS INTO MY BEDROOM AND FLASHES ME A SMILE...... ALL DOG'S DO GO TO HEAVEN BUT THEN THEY DO RETURN..... YES....THERE REALLY IS A GOD..... |
