I have six very dear friends that are waiting for me to join them - Jake was taken away from me when he was just a puppy but he was still so special. I lost Gus a few years later and he was such a good friend, he made every day brighter. Woody was my protector, I always felt safe whenever he was around.My traveling companion was Bear, he didn't have a care in the world and liked to ride in my car, even if it was just around the block. Maggie was a nurturer, she played "Mom" to all of the other dogs, I often wished I had let her have a litter of puppies, she was so maternal. My most recent loss was Tin Tin, he was a gentle giant and just wanted to someone to love him, he gave his love unconditionally. I loved my friends and I miss each one of them so much, I wish I could have had just one more day with each of them to let them know how special they really were. I hope they are all together, running through the meadows and down by the streams. I miss my friends.
