with Bud envoke in me. He's a sweetie !!!

You are absolutely NOT a nut, Liz! We all feel the same way. I have loved every dog that has ever been a part of my life, but there is something special about your own dog, isn't there? When we got Kaycee (RB), she was already seven years old, but she quickly became our "heart dog", and loved Helen and me totally, and we loved her right back.

And I think you're right about "Pack of Two".... reading that book just solidified what I already knew about my special relationship with my girls. What a great book. If any of you haven't read it, it would be worth your while to do so.

As for Honey and Lilly, we picked them, and that in itself, makes them special to us. But the love that just pours out of them for us makes them even more special. Those wagging tails that knock down everything in sight, just because we walk in a room, those "smiling" faces (they really do smile ) and their pure exuberance about life, running, playing, and even lying around....all of it makes me happy. I think anyone who hasn't experience the pure love of a dog is missing out totally!!!
