1. The praise of our beloved pets...

5. There's a quote about heaven and dogs that I'm sure you've seen

"If there are no dogs in Heaven,
then when I die I want to go
where they went."

Will Rogers, 1897-1935

That's how I feel too

11. Same here....I think my dog Smokey is probably keeping them all in line

He was probably the smartest dog I ever had and he talked. Would just throw his head back and vocalize. I can still hear him greeting me when I would come home from work: "Where the hell have you been all day? Don't you know I want to pla-a-a-a-a-y?"

12. Isn't it? I have no artistic ability at all so I am

always amazed at the emotion an artist can convey with just a few lines.
