That guy was an A 1 JERK.
My boyfriend actually bought Pixie for me, and because we live in different states, he demands pictures on a regular basis, and Pixie Tales on the daily.
He's about 6'4", about 230lbs.. Not at all a "little dog" kind of guy, but boy is he wrapped around Pixie's finger.
I read somewhere that God created the dog, so that man can feel God's love on earth. And really, where else can you find such unconditional love?
And recall the story if you will, of the man making a journey to the heavens, and one by one all his companions fell to the wayside, except his dog. When he got to his destination, the gatekeeper said you're welcomed here, but not your dog. The man said my dog has been my most loyal companion. Who would I be, if I abandoned him now? And they traveled on. Coming to another place, he was again welcomed, and said to the gatekeeper, I'm not coming in, if my dog can't join me. The gatekeeper said, of course your dog is welcomed.
When he told the gatekeeper about the other place, he was told, well.. that isn't really heaven.
I know I have mangled that story, but I also know most of you know the story anyway, lol. The point is those people that love animals know that animals have hearts, and souls, and they love.
It's a certain kind of sociopathic (and I do not say that lightly) person that doesn't recognize the emotions in other animals.. Other animals also being HUMANS. (which is why so many serial killers start on animals in the first place).
Even my abusive ex loved his dog. Even said the dog loved him more than I did (which was probably true at the time he said it, lol)

Nice thing is that with Peanut, you have an idiot detector!
Not just a jerk, an insenstive jerk!

I read that this summer. I say, "Out of the mouths of babes." My sister in law mentioned to me that the Bible says that God breathed life into every living creature. I'm just not sure where the scripture is. I know when I lost Cheyenne, after she was buried that evening, I went to bed with Bella by my side and about 1 am I heard a bark, sounding like it came from outside. The odditiy of it all was Bella perked up and walked to the foot of the bed. I am a believer, and shared this with my SIL and she told me that Cheyenne was letting me know that she was good. Just like people will do after we lose them.

I have already decided that if anything was to ever happen to my husband I would not even try to be with another man. First off, I am to old to be showing my unmentionable to anyone new lol. secondly, I have 4 dogs that sleep with me and always will and I dont think many people like that so to bad. I am sorry for the loss of your husband

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: So sorry for the loss of your husband. Good thing you have your baby that way you can find out who it worth it and who is not.

I just had to add this to the conversation. I had a water pipe break inside a wall on Sunday so I have had various contractors here doing repairs. Three of these big rugged guys have picked up Gracie and buried their faces in her fur and talked baby talk to her and told her what a sweet and cute little girl she was. I could not have been more shocked and amused. Apparently there are guys out there that love little dogs. They may not appear as we may have expected but they are out there. Just be careful trying to find one!

Never say never. I said that too but it gets very lonely not sharing life with someone. My husband did not want me to be alone he knew it would drive me crazy. I'm 45 and still have a lot of living to do, but I will be very careful with who I bring into my life.

A man who can not except my dog can not except me. All men are not like that , you keep looking;) Mine also sleeps with us and her daddy was the one who started that lol! God Bless our furbabies they do give us LOTS of comfort:)

GOOD RIDANCE !!! you don't need him my Patches will always comes first also
