Today, I said Good Bye to my best friend, house dog, companion. I still expect to hear, see her and feel secure, but soon realize that she isn't here...RIP Tara's Realystic Image aka Rusti, 8/15/98 to 7/9/12 Today, tonight for the first time in over 20 years, I will be locking doors. Even though Rusti hadn't been in the best of health, I still felt secure, I had a German Shepherd in the house and all knew that. Today for the first time in over 20 years, I am dogless, no four feet to greet me when I arrive home, so special licks, just to say I missed you, glad your home. The house feels empty.
