When it all began for me, my love of dogs.....she was a grey poodle that I spent my childhood days with - in the backyard with my brothers....inside with the family. She was good at being a good dog for kids....all the neighborhood kids loved her too. At 6 years of age, I had to say goodbye to her as my family was moving from Texas to California. Leaving her behind broke my heart. So much that I know I would never ever leave such a treasure behind. I know my parents did the best they could....finding a home for Angel with a co-worker of my Dad's. But it really didn't help my 6 year old heart....I left a lot behind, my grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and this sweet Angel. She was the first of three Angel's I have had. I am sure she is not the last. While we had her she had a litter of pups under the house....all found homes and later when we were back in Texas....my Dad visited his co-worker on a business trip, and in the middle of the night he brought home #4 another offspring of Angel's ....Candy....another blog.....
Still, to this day I can almost feel the sweet nuzzles of this precious dog and I feel her beside me sometimes. She has long left this world but I know she lives on...perhaps she was Angel #7 and Angel #14....maybe that means #21 will be my Angel again......I could only hope!
