Big Dogs vs. Little Dogs

What is it about bigger dogs that most people like? Is it the security that they seem to offer? Yes, big dogs do offer a lot of security! And then there's Abby....(my black lab type of dog) how many ways can we say "stupid"? I would really like to take her to obediance school, I think it would help my shoulders out a lot when I have her on the leash! I think she would make a great sled dog. When I was growing up, we always had Toy Poodles...no, not a stuffed animal...just a nice little lap size dog. I loved my poodle, her name was Puff. She was named this because when she was a teenie puppy, she looked just like a little puff ball. Little dogs offer a different kind of security, they just kind of sit on your lap and love you for who you are (and when you're gonna feed them next, lol), they expect nothing from you except your unconditional love, they offer up that excitement when they see you come home. *sigh* We won't even go into the topic of cats!! Don't get me wrong, I love my cats, but Sweetie is the type of cat that loves you when it's good for her, not until then!

Well, Phantom of the Opera found its way back into the cd player :) we listened to it twice yesterday, once already today. I'm sure as soon as I finish up here, I'll be making my way into the kitchen to work on Orange Marmalade and the cd player will be blasting "The Phantom" again!!!!!!! We did listen to a couple of other cd's but, "The Phantom" always seemed to win its place back into our ears.

I was very sad yesterday...lots of different reasons, but one imparticular was that a friend of mine from chat lost her 4 year old son. He was born with a bad heart, I can't remember the exact complication, but in his 4 years of life he went through more than any one person should in their entire lifetime. He died in his mother's arms suddenly this past Thursday and they laid him to rest on Sunday. I can't imagine the pain that Jenn is going through, I pray that I never have to. My thought and prayers are with her and her family. It's amazing the way some people say that you don't really know the people you meet in chat, but if that's so, why is my heart breaking for her and why am I crying real tears?

I have to stop for now, I can't write anymore.

Y'all BE SAFE!
Love Ya :)
