I wrote a while back how I missed my black lab that passed away in Dec. I also lost my 14 year old fawn pug Jacob  back in March  2014.

It is amazing how much we mourn our special friends. I was up early this morning and did my morning prayer ritual. I then worked on my blog post. I opened up the link on today’s blog for the soundtrack to meet joe black on my kindle. As I sat here  in my chair  I listen to the soundtrack and I closed my eyes and was just allowing  my mind to wander. I was praying for many people and giving God thanks for everything I have. I opened my eyes as a beautiful orchestral part of the movie soundtrack played and I thought of Jacob my puggy wuggy and Jessica my black labbie.

My heart felt such joy and sorrow at the same time. I yearned to pat them and hug them. My pets to me are/ were part of my family. I truly counted  on them as much as they counted on me.

When I got sick 3 years ago, they were here with me day in and day out. Jessy got a little more protective of me and my home. People knew that she was on duty. Taking care of her dad.

Jakey my little pug sat to the side of by chair just staring at me. I would reach down as I laid in my chair and he and Jessica would come up and they would love me. I was not alone I would pat them and talk to them. They were so good. I also realize that I cannot replace them. I am not able to take care of them properly anymore. Pups need attention, need someone to play with them and need exercise.

Well, a song from Joe Black soundtrack came on and I looked over to where Jessy used to lay and my heart began to weep again .

So for anyone who has lost a special friend like I had, I get it.

This video is like what Jessica was like just beautiful. A smart, loving and loyal friend.

The second link is to what my little English pug was like Jakey. Jake was a sturdy little dog, so loveable and was a kissing machine. He was Nick named sporty pug because he loved tennis balls and basket balls he was such a good boy.

My wife and I got our dogs and cat years ago primarily because we thought it would be great for our kids to have the responsibility of taking care of them. I believe that it was the number 1 best thing that we did for my young kids . We as a family learned many valuable lessons. I realized how much I loved and needed them too. I think they keep us young, and are psychologically very good for us. God gave us dominion over the animals and I believe that we truely benefit from having them with us in our lives.

God Bless You,
