"This is Homer. I know you've met. He WILL be the solution
To my 'Pay it forward day'. I did this for Scooter, My dog, I lost in August, last year.
I've never had a cat.
No dog would ever replace, or compare with Scooter.
I cant do that to another dog. Its like finding your One dog
and I know, the next couldnt be loved as much.
I thought That much of Scooter.
He wouldnt like it, and Im not casual with animals I rescue.
It would make me sad to do that.

My heart says to me to let go of a rescue,
and realize what a Terrific little friend I Have.

He snores, sleeps under the covers with me, and want to be nowhere
but near me or sitting on my lap.
He comes when he's asked to.
It's like having a dog but with awful vicious teeth and talon that
would mess up your day.

I think I might need a cat.
My heart will miss a pup, my heart has also seen how
Homer acts here, and enjoys love and a lap.

My heart says," Yes."
I will Miss you my puppy boy.
You will live on, in the Love I give to Homer.
I promised you that, and I'm good on my word.
It is all I have."

I wished you took pictures, that sounded so funny with the dachshunds!:Hand_Shake:

I took in a couple rescue cats. Or rather they allowed me to give them a place to stay.
Found both, at separate times, in my garage; apparently abandoned by their mothers.
The first taught my 2 Dachshunds how to properly respect a distinguished feline :Christmashatcat:

My heart still is sad Scooter died. Homer is oblivious of who saved Him a place here. I just love them all.

"... had to bid farewell ..."

For over 7 decades, I have had to farewell to many beloved "puppies". It is so difficult each time. But the hope prevails that in time we all may be together again.

Hey Steve, You carry Scooter in your heart for all time. His love for you and yours for him is forever. Some day you will see him again. Love is like that.
A month ago I lost my best friend too. 18 years he was, and he was the most loving, caring cat you could ever meet. I guess we both lost a piece of our soul, but we gained a piece of theirs in return because we gave ours to them.
Still have his two sons to care for, sweet things, but it's not the same, not by a long shot, but they help, quite a lot in their own way.
So, stay loving, my friend. Love conquers the demon. :shinealight:

Everyone: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm not a strong writer but get me emotional and I'll get real on you. Your comments touched me and thank you for putting up with my emotional turmoil.
I still miss Scooter.:1heart:

I really hope how Hard it was to love another animal, like I loved Scooter, got through when I wrote this. I have the same love with Lynda. There are no substitutes.
I love, and I'm commited. I don't trivialize love. It's an obligation, as much as it is, joyful. "I love you" carries So much responsibility to 'show up' for.
Homer however, is now reaping all the tummy rubs and snacks(although he is now on a diet), and Love and attention I can spend on him and Duchess, Lyndas little dog.
Thanks to Everyone who this touched.
Loss is a common bond with good hearted people. Your support while I recovered from my loss, continues. Homer says," I love you", to Everyone, for welcoming him into our little part of the world. He's my boy now and my lap is where he thinks he should be.
He loves me; I couldn't ask for more.:blackcat:
