Today is National Pet Day according to google, and google is life....so, um yeah!
I can't remember life without a pet, primarily a dog. We always had a family pet or two growing up and I continued the tradition even after moving away from home. Luckily, my husband is also a pet lover. Together we've had (3) pets, all dogs. Tanner, Stormy and Orion Pax aka Pax. Both Tanner and Stormy are Beagles while Pax is a mix breed of Coonhound and Husky. Last, July Tanner was put to sleep after a sudden health crisis but he lives forever in our hearts and memories. After Tanner's death we took some time to heal but realized that Stormy was lonely without her buddy and so were we, that's when Pax arrived.
Stormy and Pax are "still" bonding, even 5 later. Stormy is approximately 10 y/o and Pax is just shy of 9 months. The age gap is big deal along with Pax's size. Stormy is a calm old lady who enjoys sun-basking, cookies, napping, food, and sleeping. Pax on the other hand enjoys being rambunctious and running as if he's got somewhere important to be and he's late.
I love coming home everyday to them. They bring me such joy. When days are hard they bring a sense of calmness and are always excited to see me.
I simply can't image life without these souls.
