Change of Feelings

When I was young I had a puppy named Inky, he lived a very short life 9 months was the total time I had him. When he died I was very sad and cried for a week and I promised myself I would never own another pet.
For over 20 years I was an avid hunter especially Deer hunting. I never killed for the fun of it I always ate my game (I loved deer meat). Both my daughters had dogs Sandy had a dog named Garth and Darenda's dog was Bowers. I grew to love both of them and miss them both as they are both gone. The change in my life was that do to my love for my daughters dog I could no longer kill, so hunting went by the wayside. This was a big change in my life because my plans after retirement was to hunt, hunt and hunt. That was 18 years ago, and I have never fired a rifle at and animal since and could not.
The picture of the dog above is Belle, she visited us everyday at one of the cabins that we had rented in North Georgia. She looks so much like Sandy's dog Garth I think that we fell in love with her also. She ate well while we stayed there for a week, I often wonder has she is doing.
Well I heard from my boat doctor who told me that he has ordered a new pump housing for my boat motor. I hope that it is done quickly as I have a fishing trip planned for this week end.

Time to go for the day, Have a Blessed day:
The verse of the day is: “[The Narrow and Wide Gates] "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”- Matthew 7:13-14
