My pillow has been absconded.

Of course, I planted it with that very act in mind. She (Rusty) loves to rest her head on pillows, hearths, my legs - anything she can find that elevates her head. The dog is human.

Thanks Tim.
I love seeing a powerful dog acting this way!
She's still there in the exact same position. It's been about 2 hours now. Talk about a dog's life! :lol:

Inspired by the new banner and resultant discussion, I had to find this pic of our boy Cody. He did this in his own, I didn’t put him up to it (I miss this little guy).

Fine pic!! Such an attentive look - he was obviously quite aware of the goings on!

It's easy to see why he's missed. (I think the "missed" part regarding Cody was mentioned last year. It's wonderful that we have pics/vids/memories.)

Yes, you have seen Cody earlier in the thread, miss him every day. There are a lot of little white dogs around that look similar, I call them “Cody Cousins” :)

Perhaps a little homage to Cody for one of the next milestones?

We do dog rescue in Baja Sur, and fostered two dogs we decided to keep. Both were skinny and starving.

A Dog's Prayer

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside. . .for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements…and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth…though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land. . .for you are my god. . .and I am your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest . . .and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
