All the dogs I've had, my true best friends
Bojean was the first dog I had. Had her from the time I was about five years old. When she passed on, it left a hole in my heart that no pet still has replaced. I found out that when each pet since passed on, they each took a part of my heart with them. Jackie, a lab was next. A truly spoiled girl, always laying on my bed with me, listening to me when I was a teenager and going through the emotional turmoil that all teens go through. We got our next two dogs a few years after my sweet Jackie died. We got Blackie and Diana, shepard and lab mix puppies. They were so completely different looking, no one ever believed us that they were brother and sister. Blackie being smooth coated and looking like a lab, and Diana being fluffy and looking like a cross between a shepard mix and old English sheepdog. While we had them, we found our next dog, River. Actually found her abandoned on the Colorado River bordering the California side. She was a terrier mix. She had one pup that we kept, that I named Princess. At one time, that left us with four dogs all at once. But they eventually grew old, and one by one left us, with my sweet, sweet Princess being the last. For several years, I wanted no dog, but our young son wanted one, so we got Jack, a lab-boxer mix. He is still a very great watch dog, sweet and loving. Finally, my heart healed enough for me to welcome in another dog, not to replace my Princess, but to add to our family. My husband got me my Maya, a spoiled little Chihuahua that I just love and love. We rescued from an animal shelter a few years ago, a chow-chow we named Nika. She is such a sweetheart, so gentle and loving, only wanting to be petted and loved in return. We have about an acre of land, so all the dogs have more than enough room to roam. Another chow (a male) recently got our chow pregnant and she had six pups. We're keeping one of them. We call her Houdini, cause she was such a great escape artist from all the pens we had the pups in. So, we're back up to four. Not one that we have now have replaced those that have passed on in the past. Each one was a special friend, companion, watch dog and listener. Each dog that we've ever had, will always have a special place in our hearts and souls. A dog to us is a member of our family, and cared for just as lovingly. We still miss the ones that have passed on, but at least we always take lots of photo's to keep remembering them by. They might be missed, but they will never be forgotten. I miss you all!--
