After recently learning of the passing of Pootchy, I began wondering how would I react if Teal’c, my dog, were to pass away? I have had many dogs before, but then I worked, had other obligations, family to care for. Now I am retired, and it is just Teal’c and I, there are friends and family but few obligations, Teal’c and I spend all our time together from the time we get up in the morning, with a cold loving nose in my face, to the time we fall asleep at night, Teal’c lying with his back pressed up against me.

Daily together we go about our business, we both love walking and hiking, we meet many people who all seem to be impressed with Teal’c, who is always eying me with affection and become instantly aware of the tight bond between us.
Some friends we met
Just now, sensing my sadness, Teal’c came and placed his front paws on my lap over the arm of the chair and pressed his head against my chest occasionally lifting his head and staring into my face then the kiss. This lasted about three minutes, until he knew I was OK, now he is lying on the floor beside me.

The love I receive from this Dog is greater than any love I have received or felt from any human.
The thought of loosing him is……..sorry there are no words that can explain it! I hope that we pass together at the same time as I am sure that the loss of me would be just as devastating to Teal’c, but until that time we have many more joyful times to experience and share with you.
So we are off again, this time I think Teal’c deserves an Ice-cream cone.
