This is a quote, of a philosophical statement I couldn't ignore.
"The truest love always seems to have 4 legs...Marion"
It prompts this reply,
Animals don't know how to lie!
Only the animal known as Man.
Marion I would like to borrow it and cut it for some of our other lovers of four legged friends.
I think it will make a great plaque!
It would make a great remembrance of a faithful friend of mine
named "Sun-Up Dances With Quail" who saved me from a deadly situation, with a black bear sow and her cub.
What say you?

Dancer regularly took her siesta there in the sun, this is my wallpaper.

Dancer was beautiful, Gabby. Thank you for sharing her photo.

Go for it Gabby. Those are the truest words I could think of. Each one of mine has there own personality and gives me more joy than I can say. Attached is a poem I made one morning around 2am ... the reason I was up is obvious in the poem.
The Joys of being a Foster Mom
You whiz on the furniture, and pooh on the floor
I keep telling myself, I can?t take this no more.
You bark and you chew, you take up all of my time
Why do I keep doing this, I must be out of my mind.
You sleep in the bed, you take all of the room
I keep telling myself, you?ll get to sleep soon.
I toss and I turn, you shove and you snuggle
Why do I keep going thru all of this trouble.
I turn to the left, then I turn to the right
You have the whole bed, I?m too tired to fight.
I climb out of bed, stub my toe and say ouch
I finally give up, I?ll go sleep on the couch.
I?m finally comfy, I pat myself on the back
Now what?s that I feel, oh darn it?s the cat.
Now there?s purring going on, right by my ear
What made me decide, to come out here.
There?s got to be a place, that?s animal free
Where is it at, oh where could it be.
I guess I must be crazy, to put up with all this
But if I didn?t do it, look at all I would miss.
I?d have a clean house, get a good nights rest
But all things considered, which is the best.
When you give me a kiss, and you snuggle real tight
Then that just seems to make, everything right.
So I?ll climb back in bed, give you each a small pat
It sure beats sleeping, on the couch with the cat.

Thank you both for your kind comments. I'm thinking of using the quote with a cameo of Dancer from this photo.
Marion what a great poem, I've got to show it to my wife, were your ears burning last night, I was relating to her what a nice person you seem to be, and that I felt you were a special Lady Friend.
When I get good enough from practicing Bill's patterns I'll try to put together a plaque in remembrance to Dancer. I've been fortunate enough to have had 2 very special four footed friends. One A German Shepard who could read my mind, and was a great protector of my family, And
Dancer who literally threw her self between the bears and me, with a roar I've never heard a dog make.
I am humbled by the loyalty both of them showed. I've never had a human exhibit it so greatly!
With tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, I thank you.
