I wake up each morning wondering where he is. Not understanding why he is not there next to me. Thinking that yesterday he was there, curled up beside me.

My family lost one of our dogs last week unexpectedly, and since then I have been thinking a lot about how dogs bring so much joy to our lives. They come running to greet us when we are home. They sit beside us (or on us…) when we watch t.v. or cuddle up with a book.…… Continue reading Why Dogs Are So Wonderful
