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.

What are some special memories of your pet?

When my little Goliath was just a puppy I had to teach him distraction to keep him out of things. So, I would take his little rope toy with the shaggy end and tickle his sweet little face with it and he would forget all about whatever it was he was into before. One day I was sitting in my chair doing some cross st*itch and he jumped up and dropped his little football in my lap. When I reached for the football, he promply grabbed my embroidery floss and took off with it. He let me know in a big way that he could distract me as well if I was doing something he didn't want me to do.
