Feeling Sorry

       I've already wrote a blog about my family so I want to write one about other important things in my life that sometimes go unrecognized. I'm not sure if anyone one else in the class has both children and animals, but I want to make a tribute to my wonderful animals. I feel so badly for them right now. With so many things going on in my families life they really have fallen into the last place of importance. We have two dogs, Sadie and Taliah. The first dog we bought was Taliah who is slightly insane and can run around  a tree one hundred times before realizing she wasn't getting anywhere. She's crazy but is one of those dogs that will only love one family. When she was a little pup she always liked to lay the closest to your face as she could get. Then she grew bigger and still thought she could do the same thing. She's not the smartest of dogs, but she definitely is the sweetest. Sadie is the more mature of the two and will lay there and watch Taliah pounce around the backyard sometimes running into objects. Sadie also comes in handy when Taliah starts to bark for attention. Now that I have a new baby in the house Taliah will start to bark and Sadie will nip at her until she stops. I really think Sadie is the smartest dog alive and Taliah is the most lucid. As my life has changed over the past couple of years our dogs lives have drastically changed too. They went from being just inside dogs to completely living outside except for the occasional hot or cold day. I wish I could spend more time with them and give them more attention, but they still have a good home compared to others. Right? I try to make up for the downgrade in living quarters by giving them leftovers after every meal and a kiddy pool to jump in. I might even be feeling bad for nothing. They might like the new arrangements better. We have a huge backyard that is all fenced in and they have the freedom to do their duty all over it. Literally, we just cleaned it up a couple of days ago. So I just wanted to write this in rememberance of all animals left behind due to busy lives.

  1. I know how you feel about leaving behind an animal when life gets busy. It hurts my heart to think about, but as long as we still love on them occasionally and don't abuse or neglect them then they're happy. That's the thing about dogs, they are always happy to see a person, no matter what!

  2. I had to leave my dog at my parents house because I had to move because of school and I was not able to take him with me. He still has a good home and people around him that love him and that he loves but I just miss him so much! I think he misses me too :(. I am sure your animals do indeed love thier living arragements and if yours are anything like mine is, they especially love those leftovers!!!

  3. Your dogs remind me of mine! We have one that is intelligent while the other is not bright at all. With all that space in the backyard for your dogs to reign I'm sure they're happy! I'm sure if dogs could talk they'd say, "keep bringing the leftovers!"
