The dogs in my life have definately tought me a lot about living.

Addie (my lab mix) has tought me about unconditional love.

As a puppy, she was beaten, starved, and left on the street to die. She is still so sweet and is quick to show her unbridled love for people with endless hugs and kisses.

Jake (my golden) has taught me to enjoy the moment.

His carefree, have fun, slobber all over attitude is a plus in in such a stressful world.

Cody taught me about nuturing.

Cody was my first dog, I ever trained myself. He is a sensitive dog and I had to learn to train him with a balance of patience, understanding, discipline, and love.

Ginger taught me about patience.

She was my first dog (a golden). As a child, I climbed on her, tried to ride her, pulled her hair, scared her with pop guns, and got her stuck in the top bunk in my sister's bedroom. Through all this, she never showed a tooth or gave a growl.
