Heartdogs - Is yours a doodle?

[Lynda Kamrath]

A "Heartdog" is that one dog that lives in your heart forever.  It can be any breed, any time in your life, but everyone knows who that dog is.  I know who many "heartdogs" are for many of my friends and acquaintances, but if you have had (or currently have) a "heartdog" you know it!  So, my question is:  Is your "heartdog" a doodle?  They are definitely special dogs and my first doodle was my heartdog.  No other dog will live up to him, even though they may try.  He was something special to be sure.  Here is a photo of Hondo tide pooling at Carmel Beach.  He died on 09-18-10.

Kona's face reminds me of Charlie's.  I just want to kiss that nose!

Kona, you are such a sweetheart!  And a beauty, too.

Hi All,

My "heart dog" is my doodle FliP. I love (my) Odin too, but I have had FliP for a few years more and he has seen me thru more than enough of "life's issues/problems".
FliP is 5years old now (as of June 2nd) and I can't even imagine the day(years n years from now, I pray) that I may have to say goodbye :( ,,,,,Flip is such a gentle, smart and mellow soul! He is so special I can't even describe, all I know is that I was blessed the day FliP came into my life.

FliP sounds like a blessed heartdog to me!

My heart dog <3 was my last dog who passed away in December of last year. He was a standard poodle, pomeranian, american eskimo cross. He was about 20 lbs, so not a huge boy. He was only 10 years old and it was sudden and unexpected. He had a cancerous tumour on his spleen that ruptured. I will always miss him. He was SO wonderful. Well behaved, and so good with the kids. He was with me through my divorce, the passing of my Dad, Grandpa and Grandma. He was there when my daughter was diagnosed with Autism. He was always there for me. My Kirby will always be in my heart.

Im so sorry for your loss. Kirby sounds just wonderful!

[Candice & Bailey]

Thank you. He will always have a place in my heart. I think he's hanging out with my Dad in heaven, chasing his tail and enjoying the rainbows.

I just looked at pictures of your doodles. They're adorable. :)

[Lynda Kamrath]

He is just darling.  I can see how you have such fond memories of him.  Isn't it amazing that dogs can be with you at a special time and they become part of that experience?  I remember things about Hondo just about every day.  My DH and I always talk about him.

Thank you Lynda. It really is amazing that our furry family members can be so understanding, patient and loving. They expect nothing from us, and give so much of themselves. I still come home, and expect him to be there at times.

I am glad Kirby was there for you during so many good and bad times. He was a very handsome boy! So very sorry for your loss.
