My pinned tweet:

"Every time a dog I love dies, they take a piece of my heart with them. And every time a new dog comes into my life, they give me a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the pieces of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."

We should all aspire to be the kind of person our dogs think we are.

I totally trust my dogs' intuition about people. They instinctively know evil.

I totally trust my dog. If, on a walk, he spots a person or people in the distance and refuses to move forward, we turn around and go the other way.

Sko, thank you for your lovely words. We cat people feel devastated, too, when our feline family members have to leave us. Pieces of my heart will be cat.

One of those gems you find on the internet, by an unknown author.

I love it (probably not surprising given my avatar :-P). However, I'm afraid if I try to say it to anyone, I'll cry right then and there!

I found it one day years ago on one of those sites with tons of quotes about dogs.

Another favorite: "A door is something a dog is always on the wrong side of." :)

I have that sign in my kitchen, but instead of the dog, there's a pig!

(I worked with pigs over 30 years, so everyone in my family gave me everything with a pig on it for literal decades until I begged them to stop!)
