As an animal lover, these are my final thoughts on our 4 legged friends. Make no mistake; I love animals...domestic and wild and while domestic are the more likely route for interaction, I belive it's important to undertand how valuable our little friends are to helping us become a better person.
In my lifetime, I've been fortunate to have met/owned two very special animals in my lifetime who forever changed me into a better person today than I was then and because of them, taught me to love in a way that I think is important for all people to understand.
Pets don't judge. The love us unconditionally. They are just happy we came home to them at the end of the day. Ya, they want their time with us and please feed them always but just take a moment to appreciate what you have here. U have a friend you can talk too who doesn't judge neither you or the situtaion you are wanking about and all in the eyes of love and adoration. How could U ask for more? They never question why you feel as you do at that moment and basically gives us what we all need at the end of a day: unconditional love !
My Siamese cat ALEA. Now there was clearly the most vocal of cats one could imagine. She could not only talk to you but she addded all the inflections and tone of of somebody reaching out and talking. She could respond to you as well as lead a diaglogue; all cat sytle your realize. Think that's a BS story? Ever owned a pure bred Siamese? I have.. By far my favorite breed. Trust me, they are a ONE PERSON CAT and while they tolerate the others you have surrounded yourself with, YOU ARE THEIR WORLD. She was so smart that I could play marbles with her whereby I sent a marble her way via my finger and she would time it and return it to me with her paw. Friggin smart man ! In the end, cancer took her :(
Now we have Brody. Not mine but so grateful to have access to this wonderful guy 2/3 days a week. A Golden Retriever. Arguabley, the most loving of all dogs. Protective yet friendly. This guy changed my life as well. He came into my life when although things appeared ok on the surface. underneath things were not and he came in. and in so many ways, just fixed things all by his wagging tail.
We bonded. His owner thought we shouild get a room together. Ha Ha...I will always remember fondly the tugs of war we had, the hugs he wanted from me and I wanted from him. Nothing quite like talking to your boss on the phone while playhing tug of war with Brody on the other arm; just like you see in the photo. He understond people and made it very to clear to people he did not like around. which fortunately were few and far inbetween.
To conclude, got a pet? A Dog or a Cat or someone like that? Give them a hug. They need it...So do you
Out and be well Fu
