I had personally asked to close down my last birthday thread in the end after things got a bit out of line, that comment has since been removed. I'd appreciate it if everyone could remember the purpose of this new thread, hopefully a place to congratulate and to love. Precious will be turning 1. <3.
I wanted to give special thanks especially to: anaruadh, Ann, corbinam, danisgoat, DanteBella85, dawns2shelties, Diana, dmeyer123, Justicemom, mbfrench, nbrard, OntarioSheltie, take4roll10, tofupup, and many others that I haven't been able to list in my long list of names, for giving Precious and I much love, support, encouragement, advice, guidance, and understanding through these past months. Though I may not know each and every one of you as personally and as deeply as others may, one thing I know for certain is that we all share an undeniable love for our shelties and feel as if they have enriched our lives in more ways than we can describe. Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. For being on this journey with us and giving us all your love.
To end my post.... I leave this quote to share with you all. It strikes a cord right in the core of my heart. Why? Because in real life, no one loves Precious. No one cares. No one but you and me here. This is why we're so grateful and humble to be here. And this is why I will celebrate her birthday. Because definitely, no one else will. I'm thankful she came in to my life. I make sure to thank her every second of every day of my life. I love you Precious. Happy 1st Birthday baby girl <3.
“From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog”, or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog”. They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog”. Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog”. Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog”, but I did not once feel slighted. Some... of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it’s “just a dog”, then you will probably understand phrases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise”, or “just a promise”. “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. “Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog”, just smile, because they “just don’t understand”.”
