Thank you for posting this thread. My wife just got home after driving 7+ hours(round trip), to take part in her 5 State Boxer Rescue Organization. It was a fund raiser for this NPBR Rescue Organization.

I hope everyone that is considering a dog(puppy) look to reputable Rescue Organizations as their first stop. There are so many waiting to get a forever home that the numbers are staggering. Many of these dog came to my wife's rescue organization with very sad stories in their lives because of humans.

All Rescue Dogs want is to give their love to those that give them their forever home. I hope many that read your thread that are considering adding a canine to their family think about this when they begin looking for their family addition.

                              JUST A DOG

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a dog."

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure and unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.

Because of "just a dog," I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog," but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," just smile--because they "just don't understand."
