Tinsel's Journey

As I sit here with the dogs draped around me I got to thinking about what my goals have been with all the furry friends I have shared my life with. When I showed dogs it was bringing out the best of their physical attributes while maintaining a "showy" attitude. In obedience, which I dabble in, it was to teach a response that would help us live together in a manner that was compatible. With Tinsel and Towyn, both rescues, it was to help them achieve a sense of peace and security. All of the things that we have done with our dogs are so interconnected. Each thing we do with our dogs gives them the tools to live with us. After thinking on this this morning I realize that through it all, I still love to sit in a quiet room with my pals enjoying the companionship that we give each other. They don't have to do or be anything other than what they are - beautiful, loving and trusted friends.
 
With all the things I do with my girls, my favorite is relax in the recliner or hammock depending on the season, with Asta on my lap. There isn't a cozier, happier feeling in the world. :winkgrin:
 
Yep, sittin with Sally and Pumpkin in my big red chair is what it's all about...if you don't get it you are really missing out on one of the best things in life !!

I think the greatest achievement for a dog is to be someone's loved,trusted and valued companion.
 
I love to wake up surrounded by fur - Emma at my back, Liam at my feet, and Emma at my tummy, especially in the wintertime.

Me too!

Last night I was dozing on the couch with Sadie drapped across my feet, Ginny on my chest and Toby on the floor beside me. I thought to myself, 'Life couldn't possibly get any better than this.' :smile2:
 
I so agree, I am waiting for the day when my little squiggle worm calms enough to lay beside me and just relax. I'm thinking that may take about 2 years. :rolleyes2: I really miss waking to a little Sheltie curled up next to me.
 
Tomorrow is the big day. Tinsel goes in for thyroid testing, dew claw removal, digital xrays of his right foreleg, toenail cut back and stitch removal. I'm still sick to think that he still has stitches from his neuter and none of us caught it! I've hammered the point home to the tech's and the vets to treat him with kid gloves. I've never been more worried about a dog going in for a procedure. I hope he doesn't regress and that all goes like clockwork. Tonight we went for a walk down the road and even with cars, people and the occasional gunshot from the gun club he never broke stride. Fingers crossed everyone that I get my boy back tomorrow in a good physical and emotional state. I've told them not to put on a cone unless they absolutely have to. I'll let you know how it goes.
 
ohhhhhhhh :eek2:
Poor Boy, poor You! I would be so worried also.
Try and get some sleep, and I a sure they will have some good medication to keep him sedated!
