My Sweet Companion

I'd like you to meet a very important person in my life. She's been with me for the last 12 years. She's seen me at my best and at my lowest. I can testify that her fur is very absorbent for tears. This is my precious dog "Sweetie." I adopted her from our local animal shelter when she was just 3 months old. Although we've had a few dogs before her, she is my first "puppy" and very much "my girl."

I'll tell Sweetie "want to go nap?" And she'll come and jump on my bed with me and stay there till I get up again. She's been the best companion I could have asked for through all of my illnesses and challenges. I don't know what I'd do without her. 

We DO have another dog. Her name is Lulu. She's a full blooded Basset Hound that we also rescued. We think we're her 5th family and she's been our girl for about 4 years now. She's very sweet and full of love too. But unlike Sweetie, she's high maintenance and needs a ton of attention. Lulu is my husband's girl just like Sweetie is mine. But of course we love them both and would do almost anything for them. They both bring a ton of joy to our lives.
