To All the Dogs I’ve Loved Before

I give total credit for these lovely lyrics to  Something Wagging This Way Comes



To all the dogs I’ve loved before

Who’ve pooped and peed all o’er my floor

I’m glad they came along

I dedicate this song

To all the dogs I’ve loved before



To all the dogs I once harnessed

And took for walks in wet darkness

While playing in the snow

Your cuteness seemed to grow

To all the dogs I’ve loved before



 The winds of change are always blowing

Oh how I wish you all could stay

The winds of change continue blowing

I love each one of you always



These lyrics made me remember all the lovely four-legged friends who have been a part of my life and in the lives of my family. Sometimes they stay with us only a very short time, but their influence is life-long.

This is one of my favorite photos of my granddaughter, Ava. She's playing with Hershey, a rescue puppy. adopted by her mom and dad. Sadly, Hershey died just a few days after this photo was taken - less than a week after she was adopted. Hershey died from canine parvovirus.



Ava was only four at the time and only had Hershey to play with for a few days, but she still talks about her and remembers how much she loved her puppy.
