I dont think I will ever begin to understand how people can abandon or give up their animals. I know that its difficult. Ive had to throw away dozens of underwear, socks, shirts and other various clothing items because the dogs found them and chewed them up. Ive replaced cooking-ware not once or twice, but three times. Ive had to fence, re-fence, and then ultra-fence for them. I cant count how many times Ive gotten up to take them out at 3 a.m. Ive had to re-arranged my schedule or miss things entirely because I had them waiting for me. Some days are nothing but constant chaos. But guess what? Everyday I come home to five creatures who look at me with unconditional love. None of them has held a grudge because I was irrationally angry, or raised my voice at them, or made a mistake. The house is filled with a chorus of husky howls, yips, whines- the house is always alive and energetic. When Im having an awful day or miserably sick, they are selflessly there to get me through. I always have a hiking buddy, a running buddy, an adventure buddy. My alarm clock isnt an annoying buzzer, but a cold wet nose. When I go to bed, it is between these fuzzy, silly dogs who take up most of my bed. But, I fall asleep feeling safe and loved, which is worth more than leg room. Everyday they leave paw prints on my heart. I know it isnt easy, but its worth it. Theyre my family. And family means forever.
