I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.</P> <P>Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.</P> <P>Feed me clean food that I might stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready , willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.</P> <P>And my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun.</P> <P>Please see that my trusting life is taken gently, I shall leave this Earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.</P> Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:53:45 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707521#M293735 halfpint1 2014-03-22T16:53:45Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707527#M293736 <P><EM>Love this!</EM></P> Sat, 22 Mar 2014 20:18:08 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707527#M293736 emmysmom 2014-03-22T20:18:08Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707532#M293737 <P>A beautiful reminder of why we love our animals.</P> Sat, 22 Mar 2014 22:48:50 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707532#M293737 Big Sister 2014-03-22T22:48:50Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707537#M293738 <P>How sweet!!</P> Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:12:43 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707537#M293738 arrabella 2014-03-25T17:12:43Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707542#M293739 <P>Lovely.</P> Wed, 26 Mar 2014 00:59:38 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707542#M293739 Another new name Sue 2014-03-26T00:59:38Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/A-Dogs-Plea/m-p/707547#M293740 <P>That is so sweet.
