This episode touches us and makes us sad because it is a topical subject, all the more with the confinement, many French people have adopted dogs, most currently in tele-work and more available, surely thought it was the right time to do so.
It’s perfect. All these dogs from the SPA (RSPCA) or from others associations finally find a home, but we fear that when the summer holidays arrive, some will still be at the door like every year.
We would like to stop seeing adoption campaigns in the press next Christmas.
Before committing to life with a dog, you have to think about it. A dog is not a toy that we offer to children, it is a being who will demand your attention permanently all his life, because for him you will be the center of his world.
Letter from a dog to his master …
I am your dog, and I would like to whisper something in your ear; I know that you humans lead very full lives. Some work, others raise their children. You always seem to be running in all directions, often without paying attention around you, and without enjoying the pleasures of life .
.
Look at me downstairs as you sit at your computer. Do you see my big dark eyes staring at you? They are less and less clear now. It is an effect of age. I am starting to have gray hairs around my soft muzzle. You smile at me; I can see the love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a soul? A soul in me, who loves you like no one else can? A spirit that would forgive you for all your crimes to spend a few moments with you?.
That’s all I’m asking you; slow down a bit, if only to spend a few minutes with me. Very often you have been moved by reading, on your screen, the announcement of the death of other members of my race. Sometimes we die young and quickly, sometimes even so suddenly that it breaks your heart. Sometimes we age so slowly in your company that you don’t even seem to notice it until it’s too late, and we are staring at you, with our gray noses and our eyes blinded by cataracts. But our affection is still there, even when we have to say goodbye to you, and go running, finally free, in this very distant and imaginary country.
.
I may not be here tomorrow; I may not be here next week.One day you will cry all the tears in your body, the ones humans shed when they are upset, and you will curse yourself for not having been able to spend “one more day” with me..
As I love you very much, your sadness touches me and hurts me. We are together NOW.
So come closer, sit next to me on the floor, and look me in the eye. What do you see? If you watch carefully, we can exchange, you and me, with open hearts..
Don’t speak to me as a dominant male, a trainer, or even a master / mistress; consider me another living soul, stroke my coat, look each other in the eye, and talk. Maybe I’ll tell you how much fun chasing a tennis ball is, or tell you something deep about myself, or life in general!.
You decided to have me in your life because you wanted to have someone to share this stuff with. Someone very different from you… and here I am..
I am a dog, but I am a living being in my own right. I feel emotions, I have physical senses, and I love the differences between you and me. I don’t see you as a “dog on two legs” – I know what you are. You are human, with all the quirks that that entails, and yet I love you anyway..
Now sit on the floor next to me. Step into my world, and let time slow down for at least 15 minutes. Look me straight in the eye, and whisper in my ears..
Speak to me with your heart, with your joy, and then I will know your inner self. Tomorrow may never come, and life is far too short.
.
So please, sit down by my side, and let us share these precious moments that remain to be lived together.
.
With all my love,
Your dog.

We wish Kim Hyun Joong will be able to celebrate his ‘babies’ birthday for a long time to come.
The years make us realize that our animals will not live forever, but this feeling should not sadden us before the hour.
We must take advantage of them at all times because they only ask for our love.
(OK, it’s true that they also ask us to eat a lot …)

who left us 15 days ago after 17 years of unconditional love for her masters
Hello Big Sister
Masters and I miss you … I blame you for leaving me.
Now I have to take on the role of pack dog leader, and although I had already
prepared myself a bit for it in recent years, it’s not the same when you’re not around.
I hope that you are well settled in dogs paradise and that you will come
from time to time visit me in my dreams.
I must leave you now because there is a little crazy new one that has just arrived.
Her dynamism tires me, but I need to explain her who is in charge here.

Hello sister whom I did not know.
I’ve been told a lot about you.
Don’t worry, I haven’t come to take your place.
It’s just that L … was feeling very sad, so I decided to bring some sunshine to her days.
Well, I’ll leave you now, today I spotted a sofa that looks quite appetizing to me.
BaaaanZaaaai !!!!!!
