Loving for a living...: Five K-9 lives lost at the home of Kiss-a-bull, a tremendous fire.

Five K-9 lives lost at the home of Kiss-a-bull, a tremendous fire.

It is with deep sadness that I report a fire took place at the home of Kiss-a-bull in Houston, Texas during the wee hours of this morning. All humans are safe. Five dogs have perished - among those who died is Shelby, the sweet rescue who was found near death in a parking lot about 18 months ago and nursed back to health. There are five, bright, new stars in our midnight sky.

There is no mention of the fire on the Kiss-a-bull blog (entirely understandable); however, condolences may be left on their last post. Donations are being collected here to assist the family and surviving animals.

Anonymous said...: I just want to commend you for the thoughtful comment you left on Sandra's blog this morning. I have such difficulty finding the "right" words to say when someone is in such pain, so I really appreciate your heartfelt and wonderful words of wisdom. What you wrote is so true and I hope Sandra realizes, in time, that it could have been so much worse... like losing her child.
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your baby. I can't imagine such agony, but perhaps that's why you are so good at comforting others now.
Take care- Kathy; December 17, 2011 at 11:18 AM

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

Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table." - Matt 15:27

I have a firm belief that each and every dog has been placed on earth as a gift from Heaven. Sadly, not all dogs have the opportunity to be as treasured as they deserve. The breadth of what dogs can do, and have done, for mankind is astounding - breathtaking. We owe them great debt and we owe God our resounding - THANK YOU! M.Sullivan

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.
