My Tribute to Dogs

So- I have decided to make an entry dedicated to the dogs in my life. Abby and I watched Marley and Me on Thursday night.......and of course we were sobbing at the end of it. I had been planning all week on going to my parent's house on Saturday to get some things and see Sassy and Java. Dad had told me Java wasn't doing to well and probably wasn't going to make it much longer. I was excited to get to see him at least one more time. I'm sad to say he passed away Friday morning. I didn't get to tell him bye :(. Java- you will be missed bud.

On a lighter note- I did get to see Sassy (family poodle) and my brother came home and brought his puppy, Kyser. Kyser is a full bred Siberian Husky. He is full of energy and very entertaining to observe.

I also have a picture up of Dixie, my roommate's dog. Dixie managed to face plant me in the front yard last week- which made for a nice trip to the hospital to monitor the baby for 3 hours- It's ok Dixie- I am sure that squirrel was very enticing.

And last but not least..... Jack- also known as "Rack" (Julie and Greg's black lab) likes to visit every now and then. He loves to make Dixie jealous, bury huge human looking bones in my pillows, and for some reason thinks I am a squirrel. We are trying to teach him otherwise.

So even though Java passed away and Dixie tried to kill me- having a relationship with a dog is indescribable and well worth it. They are fascinating and will be there for you when no one else will. So this is my shout out- Yay for dogs :)
