I know I am going off topic. But recently, my dog, my loyal and best-friend past away, my dog Karob. She was a lil over 12yrs and got a cyst on her back. It is amazing what one can learn from from an animal. To me my dog, Karob, she was a spirit dog and I learned a lot from. She always put a smile on my face and many others. The other day I was watching a video, her other mama and there was a boy say 4yrs old, he was just standing there with this big smile. The thought came to me that no matter where my puppy is, she is making others smile.
There was a time when I hit walls and put my hands through windows. Yes, there was a part of me that held in all the anger. The last time I did, I was home alone with my two dogs. One of them Kasper, got very very scared, but Karob, she was scared but she stood and I looked in her eyes. She had so much love for me and in some why she spoke to me. I can not say what exactly happened. I know one thing that was the last day I ever hit a wall or anything again. In her own why she let me know, I did not deserve to do that to myself. Times when I was sad she would be there licking my tears away.
Until Karob there was not a thing in this world I was close to or would allow in. I am so happy to have had my Karob in my life. I will not forget all of our great hikes, watching her dig for gophers and running across the green grass the one time I let her off her leash - that was our lil secret :) - and she ran and was smilin.
This may seem weird to some, but the lessons I learned from this one soul I will always carry with me and she will always be in my heart. I feel very lucky to have her last days with her and to have been with her and hold her as she left us.
Thank you my friend teaching me and for being my best-friend.
One day me and my friend will be out hiking again =)!!!
Thats beautiful. I have a wonderful lab that I enjoy secretly liking to see him rum free when he gets off his leash. I just walk behind following him knowing I'll get there and eventually I do so I grab his leash and we walk back together.
