A MUST read for everyone
Friendship isn't about who you have known the longest, but about who came and never left your side~unknown
The last words of a very intelligent dog
Before I go, I just want to remind all you pups and kitties to always have plenty of love for your humans even if they might be grumpy. Sometimes they get caught up in all sorts of things and take us for granted. That doesn't mean they don't love and need us. Also you humans, remember why you have us around. If you are feeling stressed out, pet us. It's been proven to lower your blood pressure. Also keep lots of treats handy. And for everyone, enjoy life. Always take time for walks, frisbee and CAR RIDES.
And one last thing for you humans. If you are considering adding another dog to your home, think about giving one of older dogs a chance. We don't chew up your shoes, pee inside (well, not unless we really can't help it) or need lots of training. Plus you will have a very loyal friend for the rest of our lives. ~Domi, the therapy dog, 1996-2009

The House Dog's Grave
by Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962)
I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream; and you,
If you dream a moment,
You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do
On the warm stone,
Nor at the foot of your bed; no,
All the nights through I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
Outside your window where firelight so often plays,
And where you sit to read‚
And I fear often grieving for me‚
Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying.
A little dog would get tired, living so long.
I hope that when you are lying
Under the ground like me your lives will appear
As good and joyful as mine.
No, dears, that's too much hope:
You are not so well cared for as I have been.
And never have known the passionate undivided
Fidelities that I knew.
Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided...
But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end. If this is my end,
I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.

You're so right -- there is a bright new star twinkling brightly. But what you may not know,is actually there are two new stars tonight. Our wire fox terrier pack has lost one of our most loved pals, Jackson, from the UK, who died peacefully last night after suffering years of serious ailments.
Check out our blog and the sidebar and you'll come to love him as we do, along with brave Digby who has captivated so many hearts!!
Wirey woofs,
Jake and Just Harry

Thank you for alerting us of this terrible loss. Although we didn't follow Digby closely we were aware of his illness and had him in our prayers. It is such a shame that he lost his battle to a tick initiated infection. We are all to familiar with the hurt and sorrow associated with such a loved family member's demise. We will go to his blog and leave our heartfelt condolences to Digby's family. He will be truly missed and you are so right about abright star appearing in the heavens.

P.S. Mom says she's really not very good at poetry! She just plays around with it.
Once again, it hurts...
I was afraid that some hearts were gonig to be hurting. And it is true.
I am sad, and will go cry now for the broken hearts.
Broken hearts are hard to mend,

Very sad news. Sweet pal.
Thank you for posting this, as we did not follow Digby, but definitely feel the heart ache of losing a special friend.
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,

We've seen this all over, Digby was well-loved!
We didn't know Digby but are sad to hear that a friend crossed the Bridge.:(
Love,

Go well...Digby, little friend!

Thank you so,so much for thinking of Digby. Over the last few days (and weeks) we've been moved by the comments and thoughts of people from all around the world. It's reassuring to know that there are so many folk who have been through this and understand what is often left unspoken.
soft husky woooos,

Very sorry to hear about Digby.. :(
