[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 380694, member: 65"] It took a couple of days before I could read, much less write on this thread. When I think of what a pet taught me, I think about my Buddy. Even though he's been gone for 11 1/2 years, I still miss him very much. He was the most beautiful red staffshire pitbull and a one of a kind dog. He was my best friend through the roughest time in my life. He was there through the turbulent times that were my Ex. Buddy was my constant companion. I don't know how many times the two of us were stranded somewhere because Ex took off and left us in the middle of nowhere. But Buddy stayed by me as if it was all going to be okay. When the Ex would go on his rampages, buddy would hide behind the couch and peek around as if to say "there's room for you here too." Buddy aways sat next to me, then one day he insisted on resting his head on my belly. Everyday, he insisted on that. A week later, I found out that I was pregnant with easy child. Throughout the pregnancy, Buddy would rest his head on my belly during the day and insisted on sleeping between my legs at night. (but only through pregnancy) It was funny when easy child started kicking, buddy would lick my belly and continue to rest his head. When easy child was born, Buddy and easy child had already established their friendship. Buddy taught me how to love. How to be loyal to those you love no matter what is going on around you. And Buddy taught me that as long as you have a good friend by your side, life is good. Today, that good friend is husband. Even though I have 3 wonderful loving dogs, no one will ever be able to take Buddy's place. ....I guess that is another thing that Buddy taught me, My heart has room for each individual person/furperson without taking room away from anyone else. That the heart just keeps growing bigger and bigger to add new people. That you never have to lose someone to fit another inside. [/QUOTE]
