Pardon if I run on, but I have noticed in the time I have been a part of this forum, that aside from the Shaving, Brushes, Razors, Pen, Pipes, Aftershaves, and all the other great AD items, this is 1st and foremost an Oasis for Gentlemanly pursuits, advice and camaraderie.
I honestly think this is one of the last bastions of good behavior, respect and commonality in the internet. It gives one hope with all the other silly stuff in the world. I have made some great friends, Learned so much and became a bit poorer, but have enjoyed every minute.
That is why it is not hard to post something like this here. I had to say goodbye to one of my family members today. She had been a part of my life for 15 yrs and had seen the good, the bad, and gave so much enjoyments to the family.
She was the most engaging dog I have ever had. If she wanted attention she Got it!. Even to the point of learning to manipulate us by stealing a sock, bringing it just in front of us to trade for a treat, or to just have us chase her.
Who was training who?? LOL.
Every Morning at 5:00 she would walk out with me to get a cup of coffee and then go out to the backyard to do her morning constitutional and then lay down in front of the shave den till i returned from the shower. She would sit up and watch me shave patiently and had observed from DE to carts, to Electrics and back to DE. She just sat there and watched. I guess she wanted to make sure she was close. Over the years she was able to sample some shave creams on the tip of her nose, and at the end I would always put a bit of AS or EDT on the carpet outside the bathroom and she would go nuts and roll around in it.
Her way of being a part of my day. then she would get up saunter back to the bedroom and fall asleep on the bed. She did that each and every day up until the last couple of weeks as she was too weak and tired to do so. Oh how I will miss that. But today the Cat took her place and sat on the counter watching and kept eyeing the VEG. Anyway I guess the tradition will live on.
They say we will see her again at the Rainbow Bridge, where all will be re-united, I hope this is true. IT just sucks to have had to say good bye to both of our dogs within a two to four month period.
I guess it helps to write this down, it heals i guess. Posting it here somehow feels right as the gentlemen on here that I have met are among the best of humanity.
So anyway thanks for the rant and all that B & B does to enhance all of our lives is some small way.
Cheers.
