Dogs And Cats And Others I have Loved

I can't remember my life without a pet and I can't imagine living without one.  Right now besides my life with my daughter and her family there are two dogs in the home.  There is Six (I call her Lady) and a cross Boxer and Lab named Poppy.  They are very much a part of the family.  But this isn't about Poppy and Six, this is about the animals that were in my life before I started life anew with my daughter, son in law and grandson over 3 years ago in 2008.

There were three cats and one dog in my life from 1996 to 2008.  The dog was called Bummer and the cats were/are Tigger, Large and Willie Nelson.  These animals shared my life through the good times and the bad.
The dog, Bummer, licked tears from eyes during some of the most emotionally painful times in my life; I can't think of a more intimate relationship than that.

Three of these animals are gone now, they died but they certainly are not forgotten.  My next four blogs will be about theses animals who came into my life and enriched it.  I don't recall ever going to look for a pet, the animals seemed to find me, making it more of a serendipitous event.  Tomorrow you will get to know Bummer.
