Sadly all of my dogs have passed on. They were great when I had them and I can honestly say I loved them.

First is Zeus.......... He was professionally trained in obedience and obstacle course. He was a fierce protector and would not take any crap off of a person or especially another dog. I always joked that he was the body guard for my other dogs. Zeus lived 9 years.

Then there are Bigfoot and Bandit. Bandit, the Pit Bull mix was my favorite and she lived for 17 years. She was very aloof with other dogs and really thought she was a person. Everybody loved Bandit and I took her with me EVERYWHERE. She was the most obedient dog and the best friend I have ever had. Bigfoot was just a big goofy dog. He was fairly smart but but kinda stupid in some ways. He had terrible allergies and sneezed constantly. He loved to run outside and even when he got older and sick he would run with the younger dogs.

All of my dogs lived inside with me and I was constantly vacuuming and moping up spills around the Water bowl.

I would love to see pics of your pets and whatever stories you have to tell. Post 'em up!

These are my fur-babies, Huey and Chica. They keep me going. Huey is eight years old and not as active anymore. Chica is two years old and still a very hyper doggie. I want to be able to take them for long walks and rough-house with them. My hope is that losing weight will help me to do that.

I'm sorry your family had to go through this. I know how painful it can be. Kudos to you for stepping up when they needed you.

Thank you M1aman. Your well wishes mean a lot.
