Lea is our oldest dog; she's a field spaniel, about 13 years old. She's still in good health, but creaking a bit, and her sight and hearing aren't what they used to be. She spends a lot of her days curled up in a dog bed.
I just spent about five minutes down on the floor, next to her on one of those beds. She kissed me, grunted, and made happy faces while I held and caressed her.
Best five minutes I've had in a while...
I think the number one thing I miss about having a dog is seeing how excited he got when I came home, no matter how long I had been gone.
