...is a funny thing. It causes you to put the needs of those whom you care for above your own...make decisions you never thought you could...help you to survive what you feel to be the insurmountable. Love does not know the difference between two feet or four...skin or fur. It just "is". It is that undefinable feeling that propels the mother into a burning building to save her child...and another mother to risk her life carrying her kittens safely from that same burning building. Both mothers love equally...both would sacrifice themselves in an effort to save their "children". Krunch is going home this week...to a home where he is loved not for WHAT he is, but for who...to sleep on a couch, chase a ball, hang out with a new BFF..bark at the squirrels...maybe take in a few lessons at the local training facility for giggles. It is the best gift I can give this dog who has given me so much. It is because I love him that I will find the strength to let him go. Please keep us all in your prayers this weekend.. Dawn and BISS GrCh Laxfield's Tony Soprano TDI CGC...aka Krunch. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
