My Dog!

Hi Everyone,

If any of you follow me on facebook

then you know my dog Kula

has gone to that puppy dog heaven in the sky.

It has been two weeks today.

I am feeling better and know that we made the best 

decision for him. He was 11 and he could no longer get up

most days because of his arthritis in his back legs.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of him.

He loved the snow, He would stay and play in it all day.

He and I used to sit on this bench in the summer.

I would say to him Do you want to sit on the bench?

H would run and wait for me to sit down, then he would put his

head on my lap or my shoulder. He was such a good boy.

He was forever sneaking up on the bed and putting his head

on one of the pillows, After a while when I got ill and had to have a nap everyday,

I would say do you think it is time for a nap and he would get 

on his spot on the bed.

He was great for photo ops and

here he was having a tea party.

It took quite a while to get them settled down for that!

He was a very smart boy,

Many times I would have a Cataplexy episode and fall

and he would lay beside me on the ground or floor,

sometimes lick my face. I felt safe just knowing he was there.

He never left my side. He became very protective of me and

if my husband ever gave me a hug when he was around,

Kula would bark at him, as if to say "Don't hurt her,"

One of his favorite things was to play soccer,

He would do that for hours when he was little.

It was a great game when kids would come to visit him.

He always had Christmas presents to open and these

were his favorites. We would say where are your barkers,

He would go get them, toss them in the air and step on them

until they would bark. Those were his favorite toys.

His favorite thing was to go for a walk.

We could not say the word around him

without taking him for one.

Then he even learned to spell.

We were okay for a bit,

But after a while he figured out what

W A L K spelt, and he would go to the door

and sit and wait for us.

.............

I miss him to pieces, the house is quiet, I have many wonderful

memories. On pinterest lately there are all these pins about

Animal Abuse. It drives me crazy and I can not imagine

anyone being cruel enough to hurt an animal.

You only have to have one to experience

unconditional love. I trained Kula many tricks,

but it is funny because I know I learned

way more from him than he ever did from me.

R.I.P  Dear Kula  Boy

Until next time,
