And their unconditional love is priceless. I've cried many a tear over the years as our furry kids have passed. I cherish my 25 year old horse Peppy...He's the equine love of my heart and is a gift from God (I'm gonna post about how the Lord led me to him someday) and I'm already asking Him to prepare my heart for Peppy's passing. OK, Debbie, now I'm crying........I'm such a softy about my critters....He created me that way!<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for this post....I gotta go get another tissue now!<br /><br />Blessings!<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-14047477927184232402011-02-01T21:19:27.578-07:002011-02-01T21:19:27.578-07:00Hey Debbie. . . .my mom and dad were left with my ...Hey Debbie. . . .my mom and dad were left with my sister's (retreiver/lab) dog Cody after Sherri passed away. Cody was such a special pet to our family. . . when he died it was like our "last link" to Sherri was gone. My parents were given another puppy (lab) last Jan. And he looks exactly like Marley in the movie. In fact, she named him Marley. He has lived up to his namesake. He's a wild thing, for sure. But she's trained him to do so many unusual tricks. I told her she's like the "Dog Whisperer." It's hilarious! I think he's just too smart for his own good--and she gets the "joy" of discovering his new antics each day. LOL<br />Barney's a cutie! :)<br />Hugs!<br />TammiTammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625966252985649159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-39009265284903950942011-02-01T14:24:28.394-07:002011-02-01T14:24:28.394-07:00Debbie,

She is the sweetest, most loving little dog you could ever want to meet. My grandsons just love her---she is truly a family dog.

Jedi had such a rough life and he was only with our family for 2 months but I hope and I pray that Jedi knew a forever home is what he had found. Maybe one day I will watch Marley and Me but for now, I can't. R.I.P.

That is so true. Even though it can be difficult to open our hearts to love, if we don't we miss so much. And, to look at an even bigger picture - if we keep our hearts closed to God's love...we miss everything.<br /><br />Living for Him, JoanJoan Davis (Jo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305888520649862063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-69308974613381583392011-01-31T10:22:33.291-07:002011-01-31T10:22:33.291-07:00Critters often tell more powerful tales, and give ...Critters often tell more powerful tales, and give more powerful messages than do we mortals.

I had an old golden Ret. dog at the time, and she was what we called perfectly behaved, so I could not imagine that there would be a lab or Golden retriever that would be such a wild thing. BUT, I was wrong, my perfect dog died, and we bought Isabella a golden Ret., and she is are "MARLEY" 100%. most people would have given her away, but although she can drive us crazy we are SO CRAZY IN LOVE with that pup. <br /><br />Your Mother-in-laws "Barney" is sooooo Cute!!<br /><br />God blessWalk In Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771576315871776572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-24537155049749456342011-01-30T20:17:52.033-07:002011-01-30T20:17:52.033-07:00Debbie - I loved the book, Marley and Me and had t...Debbie - I loved the book, Marley and Me and had the fun of hearing John Grogan speak at an author's luncheon a couple of years ago. He is just as funny in person.<br /><br />I was sitting on a plane flying back to California from Kansas City, after a series of tough business meetings, when I read Marley and Me. I laughed so hard the other passengers began to stare.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder to love unconditionally. ..MarshaMarsha Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880659808422182525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-32046944870472134132011-01-30T20:11:49.075-07:002011-01-30T20:11:49.075-07:00Oh, Debbie, I've got to watch that movie.

Yes, I get so aggravated with them, but not for long. They run to the end of the drive way to greet me every time I pull in an then they wait for me to get out of my vehicle so they can nuzzle me. I mean, if that's not love, nothing is..........Blessings for a beautiful week!Lea @ CiCis Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252011706208068724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-34715157586309870062011-01-30T17:41:03.155-07:002011-01-30T17:41:03.155-07:00I have only had short periods of time without a do...I have only had short periods of time without a dog...and unconditional love...I am glad God create pets for us to enjoy.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-45928891862392059672011-01-30T12:15:45.850-07:002011-01-30T12:15:45.850-07:00I luv that movie.

In about eleven days<br />my son and I will drive to a <br />nearby city and pick up a long-<br />haired miniature Dachshund that<br />he has named Tobias, meaning <br />"God is good." We look forward<br />to this little darling joining<br />our family. We already have two<br />sweet cats, Chloe and Molly who<br />are ten years old and such a<br />joy. I have had pets my entire<br />life as my parents were also<br />great animal lovers. Can't even<br />imagine life without them!<br />Love,<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888547092318964711noreply@blogger.com
