I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.

For me they are the role model for being alive.

Happy New Year!

The Chinese may believe it's the year of the Tiger but Stumpy disagrees! It's always the Year of the Dog at our house!




Found on craigslist

On New Year's Eve , I wish...

For every dog searching trash cans for breakfast, a full bowl with his name printed in bright letters.

For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained in a frozen yard, a soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.

For every shelter dog, spending the New Year morning in a soiled run, a forever home, filled with sounds and smells of family.

For every "Christmas" puppy given this year, a tolerant, caring owner who won't abandon you as you grow into a real dog.

For every ailing pet, enough money for your owner to pay the bills to make you well.

For every lost dog, a clear, safe road, and well marked path, to lead you home.

For every old and tired friend, a warm fire, and a soft bed, to ease your aches and pains.

and

For every Heart Dog at the Bridge, a moment when you know that you are remembered today, missed again, and loved forever.

Those are great New Year's wishes. We would wish that they will come true for as many doggies as possible.

Thanks, everyone, for your wonderful new year wishes. I should have included more than just dogs in my wishes for the New Year and I do! I wish the world to be a better more respectful and peaceful world for everyone and everything.

It's been a wonderful experience blogging with you all this year. I am so grateful for the wonderful photography, shared stories laughs and others of a like mind with whom to share the grief of loss.

To have so many from all over the globe, and all walks of life work together to help a rescue is truly amazing.

Here's to more sharing and a better world for all of creation!

With gratitude and respect, Cyndi and Stumpy
