DWB - If we have to explain, you wouldn't understand

Warning: Momma hijacked the blog for this post.

As I sat up Saturday night to show my support of Meeshka's people and Steve, Kat and Wilbur's people during the Blogathon, I started to think. Admittedly, that can be dangerous but I was thinking of the commitment that they were making to improve the lives of other dogs. This lead me to thinking all of the dogs here at DWB of which many are rescues.

Yes, we have told people that Tasha and Eva have a blog. Some people get it and some look at us as if we're cracked (or on crack).

Dad was the one who brought DWB into our lives. One day he was searching the Net and the AO4 popped up. This led to reading some of the other blogs. Soon he decided the "girls" needed their own blog. Which brought me into the DWB world (had to keep up with the "girls"). For both of us, we started reading some of the blogs here at DWB as a way to get a chuckle out of the day. But it's grown to be much more than that. We laugh, we cry or just stop by to say "Hey". We don't post or comment as often as we would like but it is a wonderful community that we are proud to be part of.

But it is not all fun and games. Like others, I have sat and cried over dogs that have passed to the bridge that I have never met but I know the pain that their people are are feeling because we have been there. Each time, I hear of another going to the bridge, I think of Tia who was diagnosed with advanced cancer when she was only 5. It's been almost 3 1/2 years since we eased her journey to the bridge - her puppy picture is on the fridge and we still talk about her. Our friends, family and neighbors extended their condolences, but most of them did not understand. Here at DWB, you will find others who understand the extent of the emotions. It's amazing to see the love and support from this community to the grieving family.

On a lighter note, we do have friends (with and without dogs) that stop by the blog to check up on the girls because they know that they are important to us. And it might give them chuckle or two. Or let them know what is going on in our lives. (we got a call from one just five minutes after posting this).

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown

To our Tasha and Eva, you are our girls and we love you. Yes, you can have a treat. (Eva, you owe Momma a pair of shoes)

That being said, I promise not to hijack their blog again. I'm turning it back over to the girls.
