Remembering The Good Times, What are some fond memories of your pet? Options

[crystal0]

After I lost my almost 14-year-old dog, Touch, last month, I was able to go to my local humane society's pet loss support group a couple times. At the end of each session, we would take turns sharing a fond memory about our pet. I thought it would be nice to hear what special memories everyone here has as well.

For me, everytime I sat cross-legged on the floor in the living room, Touch would see me from the kitchen and automatically come to me. Then, he would lay down, resting his right side of his face on my left leg. It was always this way. And everytime I got up and moved a few feet and sat down cross-legged again, he would follow and lay his head on my leg. It was just a cute, loving action that Touch would show, and I will always remember it.

One of my fondest memories of Lucy was the way she would take up the bed when she'd sleep with me. She was a small dog - part poodle, part terrier (though what kind of terrier, I'm not sure), but once she was up on that bed, she owned it, covers and all. I used to count myself lucky if she didn't push me all the way off during the night. She never actually did that, but there was always a chance, wasn't there?!
