Facts About You And Your Dog's Personality

Tears? Well, it was a good day in some ways.

Yes, pit bulls.

The dog licking my face is Heaven. She was used as bait in a fight when she was a wee puppy. She was badly injured and thrown in a dumpster. A sanitation worker found her and brought her to the ASPCA. The woman in the picture, Joan, took her in, nursed her back to health, and made a sweet, loving, gentle dog out of her. The dog waiting her turn to lick my face is Holly. Another rescue. Joan fostered a litter of abandoned puppies. Heaven was their surrogate mother. Joan kept Holly. Holly surpasses sweet. Neither Heaven nor Holly is a therapy dog. They're just pets.

These dogs visit me every Friday (three weeks so far). Psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists could not do for me what these canines do. I'm calm, lighter, peaceful, and happy in their presence. I even love it when they're just lying on the floor resting.

Next week I'm gonna try to take them for a walk!!

Love it, the picture, you, the colors, laughing Joan, the beauteous dogs, the painting.

What a beautiful picture, Roberta. At first glance I thought it was a painting. It beautifully captures your love of dogs, and their feelings for you, and I'm so happy for you that you have those lovely canine friends in your life now.

Such a joyful sweet photo, thanks for sharing it.

osso, Glad you like the photo. IMO, the color is off. But if you like, you like. The painting on my wall? Here's the whole thing.



firefly, I appreciate your comments re the photo. Both Joan and the person from my social services agency were stunned at how relaxed I was at first meeting. Yes, I love them. Glad it shows.

Oh! the Marc horses! Oh, it's nice and big!! Oh, I'm envious!!

Also so happy about this recent development for you.
