We love them for so many reasons. They teach us how to love; unconditionally and every day with no reservations. They teach us the value of the simple things in life; a good meal, a walk in the woods, a swim and a stick. They devote themselves to us, even when we can't or don't love ourselves. They watch out for us ,they don't ask questions and they don't complain. Our lives are richer because of them. While we walk this lonely planet they are our forever faithful companions and we are theirs. We want them to live forever, but alas, they can't.
In memory of my little, loving Olive, our lifetime friend. Born sometime in February of 2001, passed to the great big dog bowl in the sky on January 21, 2009.
