<--- Previous Why an Airedale?
The joy, the fun and the laughter an Airedale brings to a home is beyond a complete description, but we'll try anyway. Our life here in Houston would not be complete without the effects of our two Airedales such as:

I have had Airedales so long I don't know what it would be like without them. I am pretty sure I wouldn't like to try it. I probably wouldn't have holes in the yard, holes in the car's upholstery, a hole in the side of the couch, giant "holes" in my checking account, etc. But I also wouldn't have all the fun and joy of living with the 'dales. Probably wouldn't be on all these great Airedale lists either. Jan |
I too am hooked...in my case I would not have a head on my knee. I would not have a walking buddy. My life is good, but is better with that Sassy One. We can't live without them because we have lived with them ... and love them. Linda |
The first mistake Christine ...I think the Airedales own us! Those soulful eyes drilling a hole in yours when they want something; those fly-away ears that have to make you laugh; the ever present "smile"; the paw asking for forgiveness; the mouth that eventually will take your hand "gently" to say I love you; the head butts and nose pokes and squeezing between your legs as you're walking down the driveway or worse yet, the stairs!. I can't imagine missing them, but I truly did when I went on vacation. Most of all they make us smile! Rosey |
I would never have guessed I could fall in love with my Airedale the way I have. I have other dogs, but Harry and I have something. He walks with me and runs his head under my hand every so often just to let me know he is still with me. When I am upset he curls (well he's bigger than me) up and lets me hold him. At night he sleeps at the foot of my bed and watches out for me. He chews up everything in sight. Have you ever had to pick up thousand of little pieces of toilet paper from all over your living room if you have you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't thank the Lord. Forget the kids' stuffed animals they are now Harry's. But for every thing he does wrong he just has to look and me and I forgive him. He has brought so much joy during a time when life is harder than I thought it would get so for that he gets to lay on the couch sleep on the bed and if left out chew up toilet paper. Tracy |
Christine: Sing along with the Carpenters and Dionne Warwick (by Evie ) What do you get when you fall in love? What do you get when you kiss a 'dale Don't tell me what it's all about What do you get when you fall in love? |
A picture's worth a thousand words: http://www.flickr.com/photos/glenfinlas/196901800/ This was especially welcome as we were selling our house - brand new pale cream carpets, spotless kitchen floor, etc., to impress viewers ... Cherry |
Because they've captured our hearts for the rest of our lives. Jean
