Why I Love Her...

[AgilityPup]

As I'm sitting here typing, there's a big, huge, goof of a dog sitting beside me... What still gets me, is, she isn't a Great Dane, nor is she my Mini Aussie... And she's not a border collie... She's a German Shepherd.

I still can't get over the fact that this dog, my baby girl, isn't a border collie. I had my heart set on one. I was willing to wait as long as I had to, however, when Bella needed a home, and I saw this girl, I knew I'd love her, and she'd love me, forever.

So now, I don't have a border collie... However, I've got a dog that shows me she loves me by the smallest things, a girl who acts as if I'm her whole wide world, and a girl who can make me laugh when I'm sick, when I'm sad, or when I'm angry. She's the gal who won't take no for an awnser when the question is my mood, and is determined to make everyone around her fall in love with her. And no, she isn't a border collie, but my god, she's my baby, my friend, my Bella.

And that's why I love her.

I feel the same way about my Bandit. I love all my dogs dearly but Bandit is MY dog. I never thought I'd get another heart dog after Shelby. I had him when Shelby was still alive and Shelby was my dog since I was wee. I grew up with her and she made it clear that I was hers and she was mine. Her death was the hardest thing I had to go through. She was my only friend as a child and I cried on that dog's shoulder many nights when I couldn't gain the courage to tell others what had happened. She silently took on all my burdens not with a smile but not with a frown. She mothered me in a way my mother never did.

After she died I was ready to give up. Wanted to get rid of both my boys. I didn't want dogs anymore. Spanky was bouncing off the walls and I felt a bit of hate branching out towards him at how unfeeling he was. But out of every negative will come a positive. Through the death of Shelby I gained my boy Bandit. He in no way resembles Shelby and is his own dog but in those times where I need him he is there to take on anything I have to tell him. He doesn't try and cheer me up but isn't insensitive. He will just sit and wait it out with me. For that I feel like I am the luckiest person in the world. To not have had just one dog I have had that special bond with, but two.

I know that now...

I always liked the looks of the breed, but due to the issues my parents had with them, and how my cousin had been bitten by one, I never thought I'd have one to call my own...

And now I do, and I'm scared to death something is going to go wrong.


I love my baby Bella-boo

Life doesn't always work out the way you expect. I expected a purebred, well bred puppy or trained adult for my next dog. Whodathunk I'd get a big skinny mutt with no discernable breeding OR training whatesoever, and love him for what he is now and the dog he'll grow into.

Thanks guys..

And I know now all about the fact it doesn't always go like you want it too... I've got living breathing proof of that beside me.
