I dream alot, its safe to say 98% of the time actually. All of it is easy to remmember as soon as I wake up, but it starts to fade away as I shower. Sometimes though my dream is so powerful its hard to shake it loose. It all began as a party in my basement, the usual family get together. I cant remmember who was there but I do know it was all close family and friends. The excitement was in the air and everyone was having a good time icluding myself and my dog Rex. For those of you who dont know me well enought, Rex passed away a little over 10 yrs ago.

--------It was pointed out to me that in this point of my writing I went off on a huge tangent, and I would have to agree. You see, I odnt want to write about Rex in a negative or sad way...which is the direction my dream went unfortunately. Instead, while writing this blog I used this dream to remind me of all the good and twist it to a positive note. enjoy.---------------------

continued here-


Even as a dog, Rex was able to shape me into the person I am today, and his death taught me a real and very valuable life lesson. Before Rex came along I was a little more self centered and jaded. I did not understand that its people, not things that make you who you are. I never could have known what kind of impact Rex had on my life. He taught me Love, Friendship, comradarie, trust and a little faith. As a child I couldnt wait to get home from school and play some catch with Rex. Somehow Rex would know what time I would be walking home and would be waiting outside by the fence and stare at me from down the block. As I got closer to my house he would get excited and get into a playable pounce position. As soon as I walked into my yard the game was on. That was not all the fun, we would watch TV together all of the time when everyone was asleep. He would sneek onto the couch because my mother forbade him from even coming close to it. We would sit there every school night watching late night movies together, and I swear to you that he was watching the tv, his eyes were transfixed on it. Sometimes rex would look to his right at me and raise his eyebrow almost as if asking me what I thought of the show. He was so convincing at times to have a human personality I found myself waiting for him to say something. Did you know Rex's favorite movies were the Rocky series?
Whenever I think to all the happy times in my childhood I think of Rex, without him I would not even resemble the person I am today. I am determined, compassionate, loving and trustworthy...at least I hope to be. I was going to write about my dream today but It was too sad I dont want anything about Rex to be written in a depressing light. Instead I find myself using this sad dream and thinking like my best friend Rex, turn it into a positive!
No more doom and gloom for me! Thanks Rex for smacking me a little bit and lighting up the way, I needed you last night and you came to help me out. I love you man...
