Thanks for the link John. Lovely Post and lovely Thread altogether really. A delightful read.

I have a rare Fur Ball that shares his Life with me. His name is Barney the wonder dog and he was a sad, starving and abused wee man when he came to stay 7 years ago and for a while it was doubtful that he would survive the ill treatment he had be subjected to.
He is 12 years old now.
I call him my Woolen Squirrel Terrier...he is a mix of Jack Russell, Border Collie and Beagle.
I watched this fella go through many "emotions' during his first few years with me.
To me, dogs laugh, get sad, have good days and bad days but the one thing they never stop feeling, I believe, is love for those that care for them and no matter how Barney might be feeling he always has some love affection to spare!
Don't know what I would do without him really.
