Dogs

[Volk]

Thanks Mal.

The last 4 years weren't easy with the diabetes but thankfully having that pet insurance made it bearable. I simply would not have been able to afford the insulin she needed yearly otherwise (almost $3k) plus it let me give her her sight back after the diabetic cataracts and glaucoma after.

The loss never gets any easier no matter how many of them we bring into our lives, and yet we do it anyway. Certainly says something about how awesome dogs are, even if some (maybe even ones of the German variety pictured above) eat our sofas.

Dogs certainly make life easier for mankind, I think. I'm reminded of an old story after the Fall, when Adam and Eve left Paradise of all the animals only the Dogs followed our first parents into our Exile, willingly. Sorry about your loss Ryan, I still remember my dog I had before he died fighting a raccoon, and I haven't wanted to replace him after all these years, even. Perhaps I will, Wife wants a German Shepherd or a Brown Labrador.
