A friend of mine sent me a text message this afternoon and told me her house had been broken into and robbed on Memorial Day. The thieves had stolen a camera and some of her Mother's jewelry and one of the first questions I asked was did they hurt your dog Max? Luckily the answer was no and Max was fine, probably just scared a little bit. A robbery is a robbery. You feel a sense of violation and of course it is a personal loss but the dog was alright.
I have always said that if you have to steal something, then steal it, but don't hurt my dog. I would rather my dog hide under the bed than get hurt protecting my stuff. Hurting my dog is a sure fire way to piss me off and lead to your ultimate demise. Posessions can be replaced. Family heirlooms like jewelry is much harder and may never be replaced but the potential is there.
You can also get another dog but a dog can never be replaced. It will never be the same dog. You can get the same breed but it will never be the same dog. Each dog has a unique personality all their own. Molly and I know each other so well. She knows what I want and I know what she wants. If we want the same thing, its usually never at the same time, but its all good.
