I came across a picture of my beloved dog Rooper today on my computer at work. We lost her to cancer in March of 2007. It was so sudden, she was only 5, and we simply adored her. I had lost my mother to cancer only 3 months before, and my adorable german-short-haired pointer was such a comfort throughtout the ordeal. We have yet to get another dog; it was such a painful loss, and our son was only 2 at the time. However, as I looked at her picture it made me immediately smile... not tear up as I usually do when I look back. I think it's time to open my home to another little angel.
