history: I always feel on edge when the puppies are outside for too long.  It makes me worry too much. My dogs are like my children to me and I can't stand when they are outside to long! Oh yes! I know your feeling. I see my dog as a child as well.
current: Its weird how much love you can have for something that can't even talk to you and not even the same species but I love my doggies so much.
next: Right! It's like some kind of spiritual bond I think. It's a wonderful love to have!
