Definition of a 'Heart Dog'
All dogs are wonderful, but if you're very, very lucky, you know what a "Heart Dog" is. He or she is a furry little being that when you look into each other's eyes, you see layer upon layer of heart ...

LOL! It's good to see that not every dog is loved equally :-) Jack, our Cattle Dog, was originally Ike's pet; and I know Jack loves ME a lot more than I love him. But I'm good to him, and do appreciate him (most of the time). But he doesn't read my mind and my heart like Ike did.
But Ike didn't start out to be a soulmate, either - it sort of came on when he was around 4 yrs old - this deep level of understanding that goes beyond words. And Jimmy's that age now, and I'm seeing glimmers of it; but since Jimmy was basically trained by Ike - I guess it's no surprise.
It will be interesting to see if Jimmy can pass along that wisdom/ability, to the new pup? Who arrives on Sunday evening :-)
