We never want to see our babies grow older, especially the ones we hold so dear to our hearts. We are oh so fortunate to have them in our lives in the first place : )<BR/><BR/>Somehow I'll bet you enjoy every possible moment with Chloe and Bella, as I imagine they bring life and love to everyday.<BR/><BR/>SharonA New England Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345194920944256200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-83189817455102267462008-10-22T06:51:00.000-04:002008-10-22T06:51:00.000-04:00Mary I can see your heart melting over your precio...Mary I can see your heart melting over your precious little dogs.

You clever girl!<BR/><BR/>They all get old, you know...as we all know. We sign up for this animal family deal with full knowledge that we'll outlive them by orders of magnitude. When they start to age, when they start to slow down, we feel it more than we expect, maybe more than we'd like.<BR/><BR/>Yet that time together is precious and dear, and it's extraordinarily meaningful. These pups have enjoyed a glorious life; they have more to look forward to with you. Perhaps there really are fewer days ahead than there are behind, but they're going to enjoy every minute, and all in the midst of love and caring. Can't go wrong with that!jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442776138172728872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-67777671716449600412008-10-21T14:01:00.000-04:002008-10-21T14:01:00.000-04:00Those sweet sweet licker sisters!Those sweet sweet licker sisters!dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-66826457631930570352008-10-21T11:04:00.000-04:002008-10-21T11:04:00.000-04:00I love your girls!

Dim bulbs are just as loveable as the brighter ones (I have one of each kind in cat form.) <BR/><BR/>What is so nice about our animal friends is that their compassion is not limited to their own species. Many of us have known a dog or cat who recognized when a person was in need of comfort. A lap full of warm puppy or purring cat goes a long way to make anyone feel better. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your life with the Licker Sisters.Peg Sillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264210610044622009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-49375705226911059522008-10-21T03:06:00.000-04:002008-10-21T03:06:00.000-04:00Well apparently inaudible, written dog farts make ...Well apparently inaudible, written dog farts make me giggle!

Now it's Dewey that does it for Badger. :) The Barking Brothers went to the vet this past Thurs. She says she thinks Badger's problem is NOT a tumor BUT neurological in the neck area, which is almost as bad since Badger's had such serious back problems in the past. He breaks my heart with trying to run after his big brother now---What a little champ he is. :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386388066709376768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-37536678452487136642008-10-20T09:23:00.000-04:002008-10-20T09:23:00.000-04:00Ahhhh Mary, I fell right into the Licker Sisters s...Ahhhh Mary, I fell right into the Licker Sisters story.....my heart melted like tar on hot pavement on a hot day :D....your Licker Sisters and my Barking Brothers....they all break my heart....your girls are just precious!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386388066709376768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-89542016606320674002008-10-20T08:56:00.000-04:002008-10-20T08:56:00.000-04:00Awwwww.... what a sweet post, audible farts and al...Awwwww.... what a sweet post, audible farts and all.
