My puppy, Annie, is as sweet as your dog Peppy sounds like he was. I was sad to read that he didn't live very long. I would love to correspond with you by email if you would like.

I, too, have a Pyr and as much as I would love to have an indoor dog, she much prefers to be outside. We live in the Rocky Mountains and as I speak (April 6) we are in the middle of a snowstorm. Guess where our dog is? On the golf course, laying on top of 2' of snow, with the snow falling all around her, and she is sound asleep! We can only get her inside for breakfast, dinner, and to go to bed. Otherwise, outdoors is where she wants to be. Fortunately my neighbors know her well enough to know laying in snow is her happy place. Otherwise, they might call animal control! Judge not, until you have one of these special dogs. They teach us, more than we teach them. I'm so sorry for your loss, Robin. Cadi and Robin,

It caught my attn. since we are in the process of adopting a deaf child, and then we read of Peppy's death. We are sorry for your loss, but please know that your postings on Peppy have really blessed me and my daughter as we read of him and your sweet dedication to him. It is not the same as a person, but your can-do attitude toward Peppy has helped me know that we can do whatever is needed for this child as we lean on the Lord and His provisions of wisdom (like the flashlight); strength (like your sleep-deprived puppy nights); resources (as with the vet bills); and comfort (as your friends have commented and I trust have been a comfort to you in Peppy's passing). Glad to have been privileged to visit your blog today. Happy New Year!

I truly believe that we will see our furbabies in heaven. They are all wonderful special creations by God. I feel truly blessed by my 3 furbabies. One of which is 14 1/2 years old & deaf & blind.

We lost a beloved cat a month ago, so I can maybe understand a little what you feel. A friend of us is pastor and he shared his own theories about pets in Heaven. I think he told something like that: a) Heaven is a perfect place where everything good that God has ever created belongs, animals are good, so there should be animals, too. b) God helds animals responsible for their doings, so they could have soul-like things and those have to go somewhere. I am quite sure that my cat purrs now in the arms of Jesus and your dog is hopping around them. Robin,

I got here through various links on other blogs. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog. My Great Dane died on December 10th at 5 1/2 years old, and then my Pug died on February 19th at 12 years old. These were two of the hardest days of my life, and I still have moments when I cry for them. But I really believe that God wouldn't put a creature here for us to love and that would show us so much love unless we would be able to see him or her again in heaven. I'll bet your Peppy is running and jumping in heaven with my Duke and Pugs. Hi, this is the first time I’ve visited your blog. I got here through various links on other blogs.

Animals are such a blessing...they are brought into our lives for a reason. Peppy was given to you by God to love and cherish however short of time--you did just that. Peppy is looking down on his earthly family and wagging his white tail-he was loved and he knew it. It amazes me how you knew when his time was up and was able to gather the family to say goodbye and console him. I can only pray I will have that chance with one of my 3 Italian Grayhounds when the time comes. Thinking of you and your family, Amy Robin,
