Before humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, give their home & all they have,
to those they leave behind. if, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask...
To a poor lonely stray I'd give:
- My happy home.
- My boy & cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys.
- The lap, which I loved so much.
- The hand that stroked my fur & the sweet voice which spoke my name.
human's loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, "I will never have a
pet again, for the loss and pain is more then I can stand."
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has
held no joy or hope and give MY place to HIM.
This is the only thing I can give..
The love I left behind.

Oh, this has made me cry.
I still vacillate between adopting again and not ever doing so:
"I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more then I can stand."
Beautiful "will and testament."
Very moving!
Awwww, I love it!
Connie, just got your comments and I'm guessing Emily's SIL has decided not to keep up the blog.
I have a question for you. Were you ever involved in the Owl Box? Just curious.
Also, have you ever considered enabling your email on your blog?
I'm in puddles.
I can't imagine not having a furfriend. I even scoped out, and chose, a retirement community that puts no specific limit on the number of pets because I'd like to continue to foster. (Not going for years yet, but I've got a deposit in.)
oooh please tell me where that home is, cause I am so going to join you there!!
