My New Squidoo Lens


My new Squidoo lens is all about dogs, man's best friend. I am a true dog lover and dogs were always members of the family when I was growing up. They were not simply left out in the yard to fend for themselves.

They were loved, shown affection, and treated well in our household. Luckily, my parents loved dogs and they gave me the gift of canine companionship at an early age. I truly believe that those who do not own and love dogs are missing out on something special. There is no greater pal than a furry one with a wet nose.

I was given a white toy poodle puppy when I was six years old. Her name was Angie and I cannot even imagine my childhood without her. She slept with me every night and followed me around the house with every step I took.

She was my constant companion all through grade school, junior high school, high school, and my first two years of college. She finally died at the age of 14; I was 20 years old. That sweet little dog added more to my life than you can even imagine. It was so much richer because she was part of it for all those years.

So, here's to you, sweet little Angie, wherever you are. Thank you for your love and friendship for the most formative years of my life.
