Judy of lifelessons wrote an awesome poem celebrating our canine counterparts for this National Dog Day. They are without a doubt part of our family as we take pictures of them all the time and post them to bring laughter not only to us but to others. We tell their stories, write poetry about them and even a few songs show the ability for them not only to steal our supper but also our hearts. Below are Mimi and Max. Max is the basset.
While these two are my and my daughter’s current household loves, below are well remembered loves of past that I thought I would share.
This is Junior, aka Dittims. 185 pounds of the most gentle dog I have ever had. If you can ever adjust to the size of this breed, they are awesome. He is the main character in the book I have written, due out soon.
Nope this is not Mimi. This is Baby Ruth. She was my heart throb for 16 years. Still miss her. Yes this is a favorite breed. Our other favorite breed is below, bassets.
In all fairness, Muffin, the tan one in the first picture is half basset and half beagle. Ruby, the middle picture was one of the first dogs from my early adult years and Sam(Samantha) actually belong to my mom when I was a teenager…but she loved me best.
Yes, our canines are our 4 legged children who love us unconditionally and only want to be loved by us. May we always be deserving of the love. In watching NATGEO special on the white wolves of the Arctic this week proves that all creatures just want to be loved. So lets remember that as we go day to day to show love where we can and kindness always.
For the Love of 
A lovely tribute to your fur family members Anita, Junior looks like such a gentle soul. Please give Mimi and Max a big pat from us all 🤗🐾💖🐾 xxx

Thanks for sharing your lifetime of canine loves with us. I can’t believe that that little “fence” would keep Mimi and Max in if they really wanted into the next room, though! Diego and Morrie are whining for their dinner but send their love…

And if you noticed, it just leans there. They both don’t like things that move when touched so they keep their distance.
