I Love My Pets!

I love my pets! It seems like a no-brainer sort of thing, but sometimes it just hits me and nearly knocks me down like a ton of bricks. I love my pets.

I don't have the most perfect looking bunch, but when I see them I can't imagine them being any cuter.

When I see Freddy, I don't notice his baldness, I see his sweet face and darling personality. When I play with Sissy, I don't see a fat cat, I see a kitty that showers me with love. When I look at Pip, I don't see an old worn out dog, I see a sweet girl who is willing to trust us, even though her old owners let her down.

I love how when I hold the dogs, they put their head against my face and give me a "head hug". How Bailey enabled me to love and devote myself to him, after I lost Indy and swore I would never allow myself to get close to another animal. I love how the cats wrap their paws around my arm and pull me closer when I pet their tummy. Or how they take the time and care to "groom" me as I am falling asleep.

I am honored at the trust they have for me. Be it a storm or a unfamiliar sound, they know if something scares them Mom will keep them safe.

I was just laying on my back, and 10 happy little tongues kissed me with glee. I don't think it gets any better than that...unless the two dogs on the road were home to join in too.

Sometimes in this crazy, busy world people miss the day to day blessings. I am truly blessed to be able to share my life with this wonderful creatures.

I LOVE MY PETS!
