Our Non-human Companions

My buddy Carson, still missing him but I can now look at photos and smile.

I saw this, while perusing the Stirling site this morning. Therein Rod talks about his dogs - His 'Friends to the End'. It's a nice sentiment and I thought some of you folks might enjoy reading (below).

“You and me, buddy, we’re friends to the end.” For years I said this phrase daily to Yadi, our Brittany dog (pictured on the labels with Paige - our Black Lab and his partner in crime). We adopted him in early 2009 from American Brittany Rescue, and “You and me, buddy, we’re friends to the end.” For years I said this phrase daily to Yadi, our Brittany dog (pictured on the labels with Paige - our Black Lab and his partner in crime). We adopted him in early 2009 from American Brittany Rescue, and Paige a day later from a rescue organization in Tucson. His goofy energy and unwavering loyalty helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. Dogs are wonderful creatures and their companionship a gift.

While neither Yadi or Paige are still with us, they were absolutely our friends to the end. To remember them, we are doing this scent release..."

(Yes, I intentionally left out the part about the scent, etc. As this is a thread about pets, not buying soaps.)

Here are two slightly belated Christmas morning pics of Prince, our Golden Retriever.

Here he is with my wife and daughter in his customary Golden Retriever attack posture.  As you can see, he is quite the ladies man.


And being the good dog that he is, Santa brought him a squeaky new Christmas toy.

Awesome photos and stories, Mike HighSpeed !

Classic Pic of the Retriever attack stance what a handsome beast. They are great companions. Sweet animals they are.

Thank you very much TommyCarioca and mrdoug. 


And one other thing FWIW: I know that everyone's non-human companions are every bit as precious, adorable, and unique, so I hope there will be no mistake about that.

For those employed by felines, I trust that you did not forget what yesterday was!
