Thanks for sharing this. 9 and 10 are emotional killers. I had to put down one of my best friends(siberian husky) 8 years ago, 1 week after my other best friend(akita) died in my arms after coming down with a mysterious ailment. I haven”t been the same since, and I doubt I ever will.

When I read this.. I cried. My Sheltie is 15 yrs old and she has been the most wonderful companion. She is deaf now, can’t see in the dark & has some dementia. When she goes on her ultimate journey, I will be with her. She’s my shadow & loves me as much as I love her..if not more. T/Y for this touching post.

lovely post, I have always been a fan of cats although when I was young I had an allergy which was a shame but now I have a tabby!

It is true that dogs are very special and they ask so little of us. They deserve our love and effection as well as taking care of their basic needs. They may not live as long as we do, but it doesn’t mean that their lives are insignificant. Great post!

love number 5 “Talk to me”-I have a dog walking business in Sydney-I find talking to a dog especially on my first walk with them makes a huge difference.I use a very soft voice and constantly praise them for good actions they do-there hearing is really great a loud voice is not required-great post-if we all followed those ten commandments our pets would have a more happier life.

I especially agree with #10. I have had to put down several pets and even though it is difficult to say goodbye, I feel a responsibility to be with the pet during its last moments.
