Reggie was my golden retriever, he was 10 years old he just past away.
There are so many stories about Reggie. He had a personality, I believe he didn't know he was a dog. We always talked to like a child.
He loved oreo cookies. An I would always tell him to tell Daddy! An that was Reggie cue to start jumping around and prancing on the floor wanting that cookie. He would chase my husband thru the living room and bark, like he was saying "Look Mommy said give it to me"!
Everyday when I came home from work he would run off the porch to greet me. His world did not begin till Mommy came home. He would totally ignore everybody in the house till I made it home from work. Then he would love on everybody else.
The one big story that I love to tell is when he was 2 years old. I had made my husband hamburger & fries and placed the plate on the dinner table. I called my husband to dinner and as I was in the kitchen Reggie helped himself and ate my husband dinner.....see he didn't want to be late for supper.
He loved to go bye bye...he always sit in the front sit with me with his paw on the door. People would laugh cause it was like he was smiling at everybody.
At nighttime he knew when it was time for bed. He would stand by our bedroom door and keep looking back at me you could almost imiage him saying "look Mommy it's bedtime so come on".
He loved our cats and would kiss them. He had truely a gentle soul.
He will be missed so much and I thought writing this might help make others laugh.
