'Just a Dog'
Just wanted to share..........
“From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog”, or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog”. They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog”. Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog”. Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog”, but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it’s “just a dog”, then you will probably understand phases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise”, or “just a promise”. “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. “Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog”, just smile, because they “just don’t understand”.”

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.We've always had dogs even as a kid and every time we lost a dog and eventually got a new one it would be agreed that things would be different this time, the new dog would be allowed on the bed, the chairs etc. The new rules never seemed to last more then a week by then the furry friend crept into the family
It annoys me when people say that "Ah sure it's only a dog".
My dog Bobby was attacked by another dog early this afternoon and has to stay in the vets overnight, For a little while we did not know if he would be coming home but I am just off the phone to the vet who has informed me that he is coming on great and will be allowed home tomorrow. I am so so glad he will be okay. I was in tears earlier, he's a part of the family too not just a dog.
Sorry for going on..just happy now that my furry little friend will be home tomorrow :)

Isn't it sad that our cats and dogs live for such a relatively short time.I have tried to say to myself that it is 'just a dog' or 'just a cat' when I have lost one,but we all know as pet owners that it's not true.I wailed when my little 19 year old cat died and it was a long time ago now and I still feel sad when I think of him.You can feel emotional about animals as well as people and I think it's only people who have never had pets that will say it's 'just..'. We have room in our hearts to love both,surely.
lost my little mate nearly two years ago now, said never going to go through that pain ever again!...Hurt so much!.......he was 13 years old, had him since he was 12 weeks, I was devastated, and said no more dogs for me!.......here we are nearly two years on, I was so lonely!....so now we have Callie, she is gorgeous!....11 weeks old, a chocolate roan cocker spaniel!.....we love her to bits!.....looking forward to walks on the beach!...
