Sharing your stories benefits us all because there is much to be learned through your trials. From them, I remember that I should trust my instincts, follow my heart and love with abandon. Thank you.

Thanks for all of the responses. I had never thought of any of my experiences as "trials." I know you didn't intend that in a negative way, but having read so many posts on this forum I have come to realize how truly devoted so many people are to their animal friends. I'm quite sure that there are many similar stories to tell among the Pet Talker faithful.

This particular post touched me in a different way however. I had no idea that anything I would write would have such an effect on someone. For me it has been purely a therapeutic excercise. I have read many more posts than I have written, and I have cried many times while reading some of them. I especially like to read those eulogies written by someone who has recently lost a dear friend. Those posts do help to assuage my own grief so.

As far as a book, wouldn't it be nice if someone with real writing skills would compile the best stories from Pet Talker into some sort of anthology? Just a thought.

As for me I am still trying to work up the courage to write about Yella Fella and Goldie, and their mother and her friend.

You know us on PT a bit by now...you know it is safe to share that story.

No, sharing it sadly won't change the outcome - but will free you.

Nothing wrong with YOUR writing skills. A book of your tales would be wonderful. I get LES every time I read one.

There are many great stories here at Pet Talk. Some of them are written better than others, but they are all good reading. Should someone compile them, we would have a book of short stories all ready to publish!

If you keep them coming, we'll keep reading. They are stories of compassion and love.

I just read your profifle. "Two mixed-breed mutts." Is there any better kind? Aren't we all?
