Truer words have not been spoken (or typed.) I grew up with dogs and I just cannot imaging not having one in the family. After our "Jerry" died four years ago, I said I never wanted another dog. That lasted almost 5 months, the longest I ever went without a dog in the home.
The difference between a house and a home is four paws and a tail greeting you at the door.
So true.
I went without a housedog for 2 years....It was a sad 2 years...
