Oh me, Oh
my, I have been bad about passing on the Awards I have been given. So today I
am doing the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. To the top right of my picture.
When I get an award I feel a sense of pride and I don't pass them on lightly.
Who inspires us, Kim from Life at Golden Pines. Her heart for dogs in need is boundless. One of the dogs
she took in recently died, Sam. Kim had Sam I believe because his owner had
cancer and could no longer care for him. Kim posted when Sam died that his
owner had recently passed also. I like to think Sam knew and let his body
release to the bridge so he could be with his owner.
A person who can take in dogs
in need, and give, knowing you will not have much time with them is an
inspiration to us. So I am only naming Life at Golden Pines. And I most
certainly don't expect Kim to follow the rules of this award.
I came
across this Dog Will and I thought how appropriate for this post.
Before humans die they write their Last Will and Testament give the homes and all they have, to those they leave behind.
If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask...
To the poor and lonely stray
I'd give:
~ My happy home
~ My bowl and cozy bed, soft
pillow and all my toys.
~ The lap, which I loved so
much.
~ The hand that stroked my
fur & and the sweet voice which spoke my name.
I'd will to the sad, scared
shelter dog, the place I had in my
human's loving heart, of
which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not
say, "I will never have a pet again,
for the loss and pain, is
more than I can stand,"
Instead, go find an unloved
dog, one whose life has
held no joy or hope and give
MY place to HIM.
This is the only thing I can
give....
The love I left
behind
Thank you Susie and Sidebite
for nominating me. You two have been the bestest friends a scot could
want.
I am suppose to share seven
things about myself.
Well it
is just Lee and I and when we are lonely we love to look at other blogs.
I, Sweet William The Scot, was
inbred terribly.
I have deformed front legs
that go out 80 degrees at the ankles.
I love almost every person I
come into contact with.
I hate puppy mills!
I love the camera and most of
my pictures are taken in two shots.
I love popcorn.
Thanks for being a friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of mine.
Signing Off
