Welcome!
Remembering Opie
Opie was a wonderful dog.
Opie had a tough start, born with birth defects in his eyes and teeth which left him mostly blind and toothless. He also lived on the streets for many years and suffered a broken leg that never healed correctly, so one leg was always a little crooked and achy.
When we first got him, he was scruffy like a lion but after a haircut he was our dapper dog. Truly the handsomest boy.
Sometimes he got cold ...
So he wore a lot of shirts.
But he still loved the snow.
He loved to lay on a pillow like a person ...
But he could also be an excellent pillow for his doggo friends.
He loved to lay outside on his special pillow ...
And also not on his pillow.
He loved to bury his nose under blankets and in corners.
He hated to be left behind ...
And he would wait by the door until we returned.
He was my sweetest boy, my precious angel, and I miss him every day.
If you want to love and be loved in the purest and most intoxicating way possible, adopt a rescue dog. It hurts when they leave you but it's worth it for the time you spend with them.
Thank you for reading about Opie.
