Buried a friend today :(

Its time to reveal my mental defect ( one of a few I suppose ). I fall in love with a blue eyed husky pup. I even teach them to wink. I do like other breeds and we have had other breeds. Raised and sold 3 litters of Cocker Spaniels back when indoor breed was all we could have. Our friends have long haired dachshund. Such a sweet and beautiful girl. I could pet her all day.
I got Roxanne ( Siberian Husky ) right after we built this house. She was the best dog I've ever had. Damn close to the best friend I've ever had. Nikita? She was Nikita. Never more or less than herself. She taught me real quick that she had no need or desire to replace Roxanne. I learned that I didn't want her to be more than her true self. Anyway...
Somehow I feel I'm seeing deeper into their heart and soul through those bright blue eyes. If I had a nickel for every time I've said "Gimme a wink?" over the past 30 years...
I'll just have to stay away from them.
