Great story,it brought tears to my eyes. My dog Butter just died a month ago and she did not like kids either, although she was a sweetheart. She acted as if she was afraid of them.
I really enjoyed your story.

Great story… It makes me wonder if this is similar to how the bond between my Jack Russell and my niece will turn out. She is not even a year old, but whenever they are in the same house he is completely different dog and will not leave her side. We have noticed that he will start whining when her diaper needs changed, even before she fusses about it! He sleeps under her crib at night. Lays at the edge of the blanket if we lay her on the floor and watches her like hawk. I am fairly certain he would move in with my brother-in-law and never look back.

Re: Wendy. Yes, I had written about Dax several times during her lifetime - and after. She was a strong spirit - in life and after! smile…

She was also a remarkably strong little dog - 45 pounds top - who lived with a congenital liver disease all her life and yet accomplished everything SHE wanted to do! She outlived her veterinarian’s expectations by seven years.

Wonderful story. I believe my two current dogs are reincarnations of dogs past too.

Hope your sister will write down the stories Adam had told about him and Dax. He may not remember them when he grows older.

Liz, do I remember stories about Dax in the Aussie Times? Seems like I’ve run into that particular spirit before :)

I’m the soul friend of another marvelous Aussie. She died this year, at the wonderful age of 18. Her spirit is still with me. What a gift a good Aussie is!
