8 July 2012

I wish I had the energy of my dog. I wish I had her excitement, her playful nature, her loving spirit; we are not better than our pets, we have so much to learn. My life would not be complete if I didn't have her jumping up nipping at me when I come in the door. Who would be so happy to see me, if it were not for her? She licks my tears when I am sad, and sleeps on my lap when I am lonely. Dogs, cats, birds, whatever makes you happy; they make your life complete. As humans we tend to believe that we are better than all of the other beings with which we share the earth, how sad this is. Next time you are walking your dog and you bend over to pick up the mess, ask yourself who is in charge. Next time you are having a bad day and your dog is there to lick your face and make you smile, ask yourself who is more stable.
