It's funny isn't it? How you can love someone so much you can't imagine your life without them. That someone can be a friend, a boyfriend, a family member and, as in my case, a dog. This past week as I drove Nova for an emergency vet trip to Whitehorse Canada I tried to imagine my life with out her. The house would be less crowded, food could be left unattended on the counters and I wouldn't have to worry constantly about what mischievous Nova is up to. As the thoughts of some incurable disease crossed my mind I couldn't help but think back to the past 6 years I've had this crazy mutt in my life and I just couldn't do it, I just couldn't imagine my live without her. I couldn't imagine waking up and only letting Konnor and Sitka out, I couldn't imagine never seeing her potty dance again or never falling asleep to the sound of her soft snoring. Of course, because Nova is a drama queen, the only thing wrong with my "dieing" dog was infected anal glands. She is now back to her old, horrible ;) self. At my birthday party she stole 2 chocolate covered graham crackers from a table inside while we all stepped outside for just a minute. She recently jumped over the back of the couch only to land on top of Christa who was napping. While I do have to say it would be nice if all of her bad habits didn't exist when it boils down to it I simply love that dog and her crazy ways.
Amor vincit omnia, Love Conquers All
