God Watching Us Through the Eyes of Dogs

I don’t do dog-twitter very much, but I appreciate many of those who do – such as @JonahDispatch – because, well, I love dogs. I always have.
This week has brought my love of those blessings-from-above into crystal clarity because my family lost our 16 year-old Cocker Spaniel on Tuesday. He was a great dog. My wife and I got him while we were dating in the months following law school when I was working as a lawyer for Senator John Cornyn in Washington and my wife was in Texas at a firm.
You see, she is an equal-opportunity lover of dogs… and I am more of a big dog kind of guy (I happily discriminate… sue me). So, a Cocker Spaniel was a bit of a compromise. When we were deciding, we happened upon the little guy at 6 weeks old – and his birthday was August 7th – which happens to be mine, so we were sold. We named him Nelson, after Willie, one of my wife’s and my favorite musicians, and the centerpiece of the night of our first date in Austin, Texas at Stubb’s BBQ.

My family lost our ancient black lab this summer. The house seemed empty even though we have 2 other dogs and 10 cats. So tomorrow we go to pick up our latest addition, a black lab puppy. Glutton for punishment!

Wonderful tribute to man's and woman's best friend. Tears. Nine little urns contain the ashes of my friends. I'm sitting with my three little rescues, grateful for their love. My current three are not pictured in my avatar-they are angels now.

Don't worry...he'll grow up...eventually. If you can live thru it. :laugh:
