Canine Withdrawl
Dec 16th, 2005 by Don Ray
In my sixty some years on this planet, I have, with only a few exceptions, always had a dog. I have had eleven dogs. The breeds I have owned include four terriers (a Scottish terrier - Scotty, a Manchester terrier - Fritz, a Silky terrier - Taca, and a mixed terrier - Skippy), a Pekinese - ?, one English bulldog -Jeanie, one Weimaraner - Una, and two poodles (a miniature poodle -Carmel and a standard poodle - Pepe).
Of all the dogs, the last two Skippy and Pepe were my favorites. Losing them was like losing a best friend. For that reason I want to have a place next year that might allow having a dog. I am in canine withdrawal.
Go for it!
My goal is 2006.
Don,
Agree, get a calm Bordie Collie. Mine is smarter than most of the people I work with. The only problem is the barking when she gets compile errors.
Have some fun.

I know the feeling of canine withdrawal all too well. I lost my sweet Chama, a black lab) just last October. I still reach for her in the night and I still feel the so-soft touch of her nose on my back, as I sit at my desk, when she needs a kiss or a snack or the door opened for her. She was my very best friend and I will miss her forever. Over my 60+ years I’ve had several best friends, most of them with Lab blood in them. They were loving, intelligent, adventuresome and all had a great sense of humor. I can’t wait to get settled in Panama and find another best friend to share my life with.
I am sure you will find what you want here. Thanks for stopping in.
