Five years ago I didn’t have any of the animals I do now. My old golden retriever Brittni was still alive. I was still in college and single. I wasn’t doing as much as I should have with animals. I certainly did not have a blog, but I still wrote a lot. I am much happier now. In five years, I’m sure I will have another dog. I am assuming Ace and the cats will still be around, too.

Wow. Brought back some memories. We had just finished renovating a house in the UK and made enough money to move to Spain and buy a house outright at 30 years old. Yay!
We had one dog then, Sam who was 15 but gladly spent his final years in the great mountainous wilderness where we now live. Oh Sammy dog was the best. A true best friend. I feel sad thinking about him, but he had a great life so I guess that is all you can ask for.
Now we have three dogs and all is crazy most of the time but one thing I wil never forget is seeing him come around on the baggage carousel in a big dog crate with everyone staring at him! I can almost picture them thinking “Well I know that’s not my luggage”!

Five years ago I remember sitting out back on a friend’s porch, listening to some good music, enjoying some good food, and playing with my black lab, Jack.

Ah, things have changed a LOT since five years ago. Now I don’t have any dogs at all, and I miss them terribly.

I also have to agree with Ann and Marie, though, five years ago I wasn’t in a very good place as I am now. Time really does make you wiser; well, most of the time anyway.

Yes, I agree with Marie - it was a simpler time that is for sure! Jake was just a pup and the only one in the house. I was in a different position at work with a lot less responsibility. We also lived in a smaller home with less house cleaning duties! Anns last blog post..Walk in the day and play in the night

lets see, 5 years ago I only had 2 dogs - Zeus and a newly acquired Hera. Life was alot quieter. I had a backyard for them to run around in and I had alot to learn about dogs. It was a simpler time thats for sure, but I am so glad I have the big pack that I have now. Saint Lovers last blog post..Dog Park Play Date

5 years ago Dyl was just a baby! I was trying to figure out how to manage a maniac english pointer pup and learned very quickly that it's nearly impossible to wear him out. I spent every day at the dog park since I couldn't trust him off leash in an unfenced area. I watched him run and play for hours in hopes that he would get the exercise he needed to mellow out.

Ooops! I meant that last comment to be for your post about Lucy. Typical! LOL As for where I was 5 years ago...not in a good place in my life. In fact, it was just about the lowest point in my life so far. But...I survived, and I am so much more grateful for my life now and my friends and family! So wherever I end up in 5 years, I hope that I can hold onto those lessons I learned 5 years ago. Maries last blog post..Wordless Wednesday 11-19-08

This has not been a good week for the Lucys! Our Lucy is feeling much, much better this afternoon and she says that she's sending lots of positive thoughts to your Lucy for a quick recovery too! Maries last blog post..Wordless Wednesday 11-19-08
