Rain and my animals

I have to push Honey out the door when it is raining.  She has gotten over her fear of the dark, but she hates rain.  So it is a battle.  She is one stubborn dog.  Duncan wants to go out front in the driveway.  He hates getting his feet wet.  That little guy must have had a hellish first part of his life, but the last part is great.  He is one of the princes in my kingdom and I am his handmaiden.  Along with Jock.  Jock has now started showin jealousy at the others.  His display is demanding to sit on my lap.  I, of course, will always give him all the love he needs.  My animals make life worth living even if Missy has destroyed my couch.  Time to upholster. 

I will always miss those I have lost.  They will always have a place in my heart.  I look at their passing this way:  They shed their bodies because they wore out and they moved on ahead in time.  They are waiting up ahead for me.
