I'm so glad that Raphael loves his job! And such a blessing that he has a loving home and people who care about him.

Following the the turtle gang from day one Raphi claimed you. There was no denying that you two would be together for life. Each one of your dogs as all do come into our lives to teach us something. I have listened quite closely. Paid more attention to every dog I've had since Jackson my black German Shepard. The day he passed I learned how life was far too short for me to waste one more second with someone who didn't deserve me time. That was the most traumatic loss I had experienced his passing at home. I became more in tune with those left with me. Lucky my black lab taught me to try to live each moment with happiness even to my last breath. Willie my brain damaged buddy taught me to be a great friend to those I let in. Klondike the Sammy try to make everyday a good hair day lol. Phoenix my black lab baby with brown paws from a drug house scared shy Phoenix could not look like Lucky all black. Phoenix taught me that life does go on and that those like Lucky who passed before will always remain a part of me but a new pup even if looking similar will never be the same dog but a unique life that fills you up with different memories and great love. Kaiya the cat killer found wondering at 9 weeks of age. Age 1 learned she her brain didn't quite work right she hard time learning. After a month of boarding and training. Complete torture to me. Lived with cats a full life. Able to learn by consistent routine with me always aware of where the cats are. The cats aware of Kaiya. I couldn't give up on her. We had so many loving years to live and no more cats lost. Ronan the mini aussie taught me I could let one go to my ex who Ro had chosen as his person and would be happier in his care. Not an easy thing to do by any means. Teyla, Ronans sister my girl. I have never had this close of a relationship on so many levels than I do now. Our love our connection is above any others. Thank you for your story... gave me time of reflection.. I ramble
