And I, too, love your hopeful ending about our beloved pets being out there waiting for us. <br />Thank you for the wonderful Happy stories.Cynthia Chapman Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408985785062180536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-55908594567411961012010-03-24T19:38:57.439-05:002010-03-24T19:38:57.439-05:00What a sad, lovely, touching ending to your tale o...What a sad, lovely, touching ending to your tale of Happy. Pets leave such a hole when they leave, and I love your hopeful sense that they're "out there" waiting for us. I think they are, too.MG Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584010470283038023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-28461383482888283292010-03-24T15:56:42.885-05:002010-03-24T15:56:42.885-05:00Thanks everyone!

It took, for us, a long time to get another dog - and we'd had several cats - but then again, through you, along came Lassie! I really think that Happy would have cheerfully taken her "under his paw," though Lassie had tricks of her own that she could have taught Happy. There'll never be another like him or like any of the other canines who have claimed us as their people.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132086654825417341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-5421962550720916002010-03-23T13:06:00.125-05:002010-03-23T13:06:00.125-05:00Awww.

I know I said this before, but he must have been my old dog Cheerio's ancestor in some way. <br /><br />I'm amazed that he managed to live for 12 years...he must have barked at the mosquitoes carrying heartworms. :-) <br /><br />I've worked in an animal shelter for a couple years now, and I still think the best kind of pets are the ones with multiple facets: not just all sweet, not just all protective, but layered and complicated until they seem just like another member of the family.Summer Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234534550255682010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-20820688704801627962010-03-23T07:00:53.070-05:002010-03-23T07:00:53.070-05:00This is a sad but very well written story!

I hate to see and hear things like this, too many people don't think about what they've done and how an animal is something to be helped just as much as anyone else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-55618880910859982532010-03-23T00:11:53.993-05:002010-03-23T00:11:53.993-05:00Ohhhhhhhhhhhh that is such a sad story.
