I don't know how to post this directly to the forum, so I included the link.

The dogs pictured in those photos are:

Shelby (Fawn dane - passed 2005)
Hootch (Fawnequin dane - passed 1998)
Abby (White dane - passed in 2004)
Jaeger (White dane as a puppy - passed in 2005)
Bailey (Dark Fawn dane - passed in 1997)
Mugsie (Harlequin with one blue eye - passed in 2001)
Dozer (Harlequin - passed in 2000)
Dexter (My golden x siberian husky mix - passed in 2005)

The two black danes are Max and Molly, who were owned by a close friend. Max was my first ever rescue dane. He and Molly are both at the bridge as well.

Every once in a while, I get very sentimental about the pets I've loved and lost over the years. Today was one of those days, so I thought I'd share this with everyone.

What beautiful dogs. One sad but inevitable part of dog ownership is handling their loss.

Bill Morrissey, a New England Folk singer lost his longtime doggie companion last year. He came home from a tour and the dog had died while he was gone.

Here is the short simple song he wrote for her: Sadie

I'm a lonely boy
In a lonely house
My dogs gone away

But Jesus came
and called her home
and left me here to stay

Now you can't stop
what Jesus does
He gets to have his way

Hes got a plan
He won't tell you
He's just funny that way

Oh I wasn't home
When Jesus came
I would not have let him in

I'd say come on lord,
Find your own dog
Don't break my heart again.
