Alacharger, as I type this in my living room this morning I look around me and see four very old dogs sleeping, some on chairs two on the couch. They have been "out" twice this cold morning, once at 4:30 and again just recently. They have been beside me for many yers now, even during and after the death of my wife from cancer. Your post brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. They will begin to leave me soon,I shall miss them terribly.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have two that are never more than a few feet from me or my wife if we're home, and another in the yard that lives only for us to show him some attention (which I take time to do several times a day).
I had decided to hold off posting any more like this. The vulgar and insensitive replies to it disgusted me. It was meant as something to bring warmth to a reader, but got turned into a dirty joke.
But, I'm going to reconsider. If you enjoyed it, then I'm sure others did also. No sense letting the crass and filthy minded dictate my posts.
