I would like to dedicate this video slideshow to all the DKos Community pets, past and present.
I hope this tune brings a smile to your face as you think of, or remember, your pets. It would be very gratifying (to me) if readers were to take this opportunity to honor their own pets, in any way that they feel is appropriate--posting tributes, pictures, videos--whatever.
So, on behalf of Mr. Mollie and myself, I would like to pay tribute to all of our pets, over our entire lifetimes. They were/are:
Mickey, Lucky, Panda, Yogi, Misty, Chena, Mollie, Murphee, Bailey (Dogs) and Pepe, Bubba, JC, and Petey (Birds).
With Special Mention of:
"Chena," Our Pint-Sized Alaskan Sourdough, and our first English Springer Spaniel [April 1989-September 2006].
"Our Dog of a Lifetime."
Your exuberance, intelligence, energy, humor, incredible beauty, playfulness, vibrant personality, "smilng" face, and deep and abiding love and devotion to us, lives so vividly in our memories, that you are still here with us, Girl. And,
"Murphee," aka "Big Baby," Our Terrier-Mix Shelter Dog [May 1998-January 2012].
It was you, Girl, who disproved the notion that one could have "only one" Dog of a Lifetime.
Your sweetness, intelligence, low-key, meek and gentle ways, wonderful personality, unique and adorable little mannerisms, your beautiful face, and your intense love and devotion to us, stays with us everyday. You, too, never left us.
"Thank you all, for the years of joy and unconditional love that you gave us. You'll live in our hearts . . . Always."
