Totally sad...I saw this the first time going through clips for class and this one broke my heart! Animals are so faithful and just want to be loved and cared for.

I know there are A LOT of loving and caring friends here on SH that have cared, loved, and lost a beloved pet. Please send me your stories about your pet(s) and how you came to bring this little one into your home. I would like to share with my class on why NOT to give up on these little ones that are so in need of a loving, caring home and how we TOO are in need of their love and companionship! Thank you and may each and every one of you always be bless...and please I know times are hard but give what you can to your local shelter.
With all my love,

Dave**Gay for Girls** 2012/07/20 19:35:19+8I lost two beloved dogs 6 months apart, little Ben a 5 pound toy poodle and Gabby a Shih tzu, both died from canine epilepsy. We spent thousands of dollars trying to save them, but to no avail. Last year we stopped at the local humane society and found a beautiful big girl, we rescued her and she's been great! Here's Lila!























We lost both our dogs last year. We have been unable to allow another into our lives.
Not just yet, anyway. Our 10 year old lab (Maddie) was killed by our 18 month old GD, Zoey. It was the 4th of July, and for days the fireworks in our neighborhood had both the dogs terrified and upset. The GS never really got along with the lab, and had been showing aggression towards other dogs in general, had tried to attack our neighbor's Basset Hound by going right through the fence. Zoey didn't hurt her as she just laid still and did not try to fight her off. No injuries, thank goodness, but it very scary and traumatic. We got Zoey as a 4 month old from a shelter. They (our Lab and Zoey) never really warmed up to each other and as Zoey got older, they began to have a few little spits, but nothing too serious. On the 4th of July, probably because of the fireworks scaring them so badly, one of their little fights got out of hand and the GS went after the Lab and bit her so deeply and severely in the neck that she had to be put down that night. We were heartbroken. We tried for months to get someone to t...

We were heartbroken. We tried for months to get someone to take Zoey because we knew we could no longer keep her. She was too agressive with other dogs, and we were afraid she would get out of the yard and go after someone else's pet...which terrified me. Our Vet said that because Zoey had attacked another dog so severely, the odds were high that she would do it again. We contacted fire depts, police depts. rescue sites, but no one would take her since she'd caused the death of another animal. After two months of living in constant fear every time she was outside, we were advised to put her down. I didn't want to, but I knew I had to be a responsible adult and do the right thing. Losing the Lab after 9 years was awful, but having to put down our beautiful, intelligent, loving, loyal 18 month old GS was even more heartbreaking. Maddie was an older dog and had problems, tumors, arthritis, vision problems, so we knew our time with her was limited. But, Zoey was so young, still a puppy, actually, and had a long life in front of her. It was so hard. My husband and I still cry over both of them almost every day even though it's been more than a year. We miss them both so much, every day.
Thank you for sharing and in Gods Speed my friend!
I love their floppy ears:-)
They can be so funny at times too!
Really sweetie no peanuts whatsoever ok!
If Dad wants a list of what NOT to feed the little one...I will provide one.
Thank you for sharing with us your story!!!
The love of a critter for it's human contact is remarkable, and should never be taken for granted.
Contrary to what some people think, "All Dogs Go to Heaven!"
About 20 years ago, I rescued a little female chow mix from an abusive home. She would be left for days without food or water. When I took her home and gave her some attention, she thought I was the greatest thing in the world. She became very protective of me, and extremely loyal. I owned a full blood Shelty at the time, and he accepted the new "girlfrien" readily. They mated several times and had beautiful offspring. Cody was a sweet girl who gave us a lot of pleasure. With the chow face, she looked like she was always smiling!!!
I too believe that animals go to Heaven :-)
She is beautiful keeper...thank you for sharing another story about you...MUAH!!!
Thank you Marlow !!!
MUAH :-)
This cat looks just like my Treasure....how I came to get my SH name. :)
Thank you for your support sweetie to the SPCA :-)
My daughter and her husband recently adopted a Brittany spaniel. The poor old guy was 9 and abandoned to a shelter--who knows why? Were the owners homeless suddenly? Did the owner die? They don't know, but Charlie now has a home for the rest of his life.
Thank you for your support to the SPCA :-)
I miss that little guy...
Hey by the way ... Guess what I had for lunch today? Yep and it was GOOD - thank you!
