The joy of animals

A few weeks back I posted an article about animals and how important they are. Many women claim animals are better listeners than men. Well there are many comparisons we could make if we want to.

My 4 legged mate Henry (my dog) I reckon causes me as much grief as any 2 legged male could. Her has allergies that cause his ears to flare up which requires treatment. When ever I go to treat his ears, he runs away (is there an analogy here for me).

Now he has scaped his cornea and has to go to an eye specialist. It seems like it is never ending.

However, all that a side, I wouldnt be without my mate. He keeps me company in my home and in the car. I talk to him and he NEVER answers me back, he just listens. His pleasures are simple like an early morning walk. He sits under my desk while I am working and he cuddles up to me at night and keeps me warm. AND the cat hates him.

I guess it is telling me that life isnt always perfect and how we want it to be. All the challengers and upheavels help us to be compassionate, careing and above all tolerant. We are truely blessed aren't we.
