My Favorite animals are horses and dogs. Horses, because they are so beautful and have served mankind in so many different ways, throughout history. Dogs, because they are so loyal, faithful and true. I’ve had three dogs in the last few years. Happy was a Sheltie, adopted from the humane society, He lived with us for 15 years and had many happy days with us. Cooper, a Jack Russel Terrier Mix, came to live with us a few years later, and became happy’s constant companion. When Cooper’s health failed, I sat on the deck and cried every day because I missed him so much. About a month after his passing, we adopted Sadie, a Kelpie who was also in a shelter, and likely would not have found a home, as she had been brought back twice, for misbehaving. We have her to this day, and she is a wonderful and loyal friend.
