To a person who is a dog lover

, there is no such thing as "Just A Dog". My little doxie Buster,who died 2 years ago on February 6th

, was the king of our castle. He was a loving companion for almost 17 years and even now I cry when I think that he is gone forever. My husband, Buster was his best buddy, and I come to the Villages every summer for 2 months( yeah, I still have to go to work

) and when we brought Buster with us he would love to ride in the golf cart and just loved to look around at everything.
I can't understand how some people can just view a pet as "Just A Dog". Buster was one of our children , as any pet lover could understand, and without him , life is just not the same.
My husband is still so heartbroken that he refuses to get another dog. For myself, I need to have another dog to love but I understand completely how he feels. No dog will ever replace my Buster.
I thank you for this thread and I appreciate all the dog lovers out there.
PS I don't post much , just lurk around alot.... but I love this forum....
See you in July
