How cruel is it that these pets give us so much and we only get them for 10 plus a few years? You'll find another pup, a good fit. Adoption is the way to go!Alyssa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944057074589003472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-89781251450546271182013-03-27T12:39:01.563-04:002013-03-27T12:39:01.563-04:00That is a fabulous photograph of Toby and although...That is a fabulous photograph of Toby and although I knew some of his history, I didn't know all of it. You saved each other :) Sadly, Rose is 14 this year, and she is deaf, blind in one eye, and she creeks whens he walks and has walking accidents if not taken out more frequently than years past. Until that time, she is faithful to me and on my heels all the time. If I walk out of a room, there she is, and she won't settle until I sit. If I am not in "my spot" in the evening, she goes batty until I do. Strangest thing, actually. But, I know you understand that. Hugs to you. One of these days, you will save and be saved by another furry friend, I have absolutely no doubt in that.

His legs also giving out-- so hard to watch them struggle. <br /><br />I hope you decide to find another "best friend" someday.

I will miss hearing about your adventures with Toby and seeing his photo. You might remember I lost my dog a couple of years ago. It took me a year to stop crying daily and then weekly and now occasionaly. Because of traveling and finances I have not invited another dog into my life as yet but I am constantly asking strangers and friends if I can pet their dogs and eveyone is very obliging. I just have to get a dog fix every now and then. So until another buddy comes into your life there are lots of dogs out there that can use a hug and a pet along with yourself. I put photos all over the house in places where I looked for her and even bought a stuffed dog, it helped a little during my grieving. Now I have picked up most of the photos and hold her in my heart. Blessings to you.
