Throughout our marriage, my husband & I have loved and lost most of what we like to refer as “Our Children”. However; these children have all been furry, four-legged, loveable creatures that we have adopted and rescued. Each one was a unique individual and each had a strikingly different personality. We miss them every single day! We currently live with three children (1 cat & 2 dogs) which after all these years, we think may be the last of our brood, since the reality of our own mortality seems to grow closer with each passing year.

Wouldn’t it be comforting to know that this poem, “I Am Still Here” is true? I have posted it here in Memory of our Children in Heaven. We miss you all!

Don’t forget to visit your local Animal Shelter before purchasing a pet from a pet store. Here are a few links to my favorite pet charities.

Thank you for your comment on my blog, and would love for you to write a post about why Love is a Four-Legged Word for you. Think about it and contact me if you’re interested (stinkypaw@gmail.com). Thanks again.

Each time we lose one our “kids” I write about it and the tears usually flow like Niagara Falls. As you must know, the process itself is always heart wrenching. I’ll keep you posted. ~JGT
