Writers on Dogs

Murphy

“You think those dogs will not be in heaven! I tell you they will be there long before any of us.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson

“You can say any fool thing to a dog and the dog will just give you this look that says, ‘My GOSH, you’re RIGHT! I NEVER would’ve thought of that!”
― Dave Barry

“Dogs, lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you’re going to lose a dog, and there’s going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can’t support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There’s such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions.”
― Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening of the Year
m
“Slowly, Anna put up a hand to his muzzle and began to scratch that spot behind the ear where large dogs keep their souls.”
― Eva Ibbotson, A Countess Below Stairs
m
“People love dogs. You can never go wrong adding a dog to the story.”
― Jim Butcher, White Night

R.I.P., Murph. You had a great run, and you were a great addition to our family’s story.

    Thanks so much for this. I’m such a dog lover, and this says so much. Prayers for Murph . . . and for you.

    Very poignant posting – thank you. The RSL and DK quotes really resonate. I miss Murph so much more than i can begin to say.
