It was an exciting year at our Active Rain It's Raining DOGS! Dog Lovers Group !!!
Membership keeps growing and there is a lot of participation from our members. We go to our group to share the fun, the joys and sometimes the sadness of being a DOG lover, We talk about our adventures with our doggies new and old and we honor our precious pooches who are longer with us.
We laugh together, we shed many tears, we console one another, we pray for healing of our pets and for broken hearts. We bond with a bond of only those who truly love dogs can ever understand.
I thank all of you from my heart for your contributions. I know some of them were very difficult to write. I pray that you and your pooches will experience many healthy, joy filled years together.
And for those that are grieving a heavy loss, remember we are here for you. Many of us have been there and know it cuts like a knife. You will never forget, but hopefully another dog, perfect for you, is waiting to fill the empty place when the time is right.
