Let me introduce Tomás, our English Cocker Spaniel

Hi! My name is Tomás. I was born on April 18th, 1999. My humans say that I am a naughty dog, but I don't think so, I just love doing things that they consider "wrong". For instance, if I steal socks from the washing machine, which I do at least once a day, they would yell at me "bad dog!" Who, me???

It's very funny although sometimes they get mad at me. Would you believe it if I say that Alex (the boss) got really upset because I chowed his sneakers? I think he over reacted, anyway...

But let me tell you something, this guys love and spoil me and I enjoy living with them.

I absolutely love running in the park. I've got lot of friends in my neighborhood and we usually play together and have lots of fun. When Laura and Alex take me to the beach I swim and chase seagulls but they are so difficult to catch!!!

Well, I will stop here because Alex doesn't like me using the computer. Sign my guestbook and leave your URL so I can visit you when he is not at home.

PS: Did I mention that I like cheese, milk, chicken, icecream and cookies?

A STUMP FOR A TAIL

You can't buy loyalty, they say

I bought it though, the other day; You can't buy friendship, tried and true,

well just the same, I bought that too. I made my bid, and on the spot,

bought love and faith and a whole job lot of happiness, so all in all,

the purchase price was pretty small. I bought a single trusting heart,

that gave devotion from the start.

If you think these things are not for sale,

buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail.

Niko

You will live on forever in our hearts

What can I say about Niko? He was such a lovely and loyal friend. He was my first dog, he tought me the meaning of unconditional love.

Nothing I can say or do on this page will ever be enough to honor my Nikito.

I love you sweetie.

Lend me a pup

I will lend to you for awhile,
a pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives
and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three.
But will you, 'till I call him back,
take care of him for me.

He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true.
And from the folk that crowd's life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again.

I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will be Done"
For all the joys this pup will bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness
we'll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.
But should you call him back
much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed,
your wishes to achieve
In memory of him we loved,
to help us while we grieve,
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another pup and love him all his life.
