I often think a reward for living a good life would be to return in the next life as a dog. Of course when i think this I think of a dog that is pampered by owners owners who think of them as superior beings...ones who get what enjoyment of life is all about...ones that have good grass and rugs to roll around on, who know the importance of a cookie break, that allow their dogs on the couch and under the blankets, who really get good ear scratchin and react favorably to a hearty wagging of the tale. And I think I'd like to come back as lil'bro, our beagle who has an attitude unmatched for what he wants and what he demands of us to provide. Nothing is too soft for the bro--if there are pillows on top of cushions on top of blankets--that is where he'll be! Photo by Richard Sayer of his 12 year old little friend who is constantly reminded me of what is really important in life--the enjoyment of sniffin', lickin' plates and finding a good sunny spots to nap! We can learn alot from these guys if we take the time to really watch what is going on!
My sentiments completely. Never had a dog that wasn't very special to me. Sure is unconditional love we get from our four legged friend/s. I still love Bro's eyes and expression. I miss my "granddogs"!!!

Not sure what key I touched and posted a blank comment!
Gotta love the pups from puppy stage to old dog stage. They know us better than we know ourselves. Great judges of character!
Now if I could get Mel to pose as relaxed as Lil'Bro!
