I was sitting here with a hot, freshly made cup of hot chocolate trying to figure out what to write about tonight, when suddenly my eyes fell on Jada, curled up in her bed. I watched her for awhile, her chest softly rising and falling, deep in sleep. A sense of complete and utter peace and happiness floated over me. There is something so lovely, deeply beautiful and innocent about animals that I can't imagine for a minute not having her in my life. Nor can I understand when people tell me that they don't have animals, don't want animals, don't even like animals. It is honest to god as if they are speaking some foreign language to me. More than that, I find myself, deep inside, thinking that they can't possibly be a good person. I make every effort to shed myself of such nasty little judgments.
Personally, if I could and had the financial wherewithal I would have a brood of beauties - nothing would make me happier. Until then, I have a little fluffy girl here that is so breathtakingly lovable that I consider myself lucky, every day, that she wandered into my life.

I look at my Kirby and how he can go from busy and nosy to totally, profound relaxation in the blink of an eye. I truly envy animals their ability to do that.
ReplyDeleteI am in complete agreement. I don't get people who don't have animals, and I don't get why we don't do more to protect them.
ReplyDeleteI've long fantasized about winning the lottery and emptying a kill shelter, whisking the animals off to a sanctuary.
I would love to do that one day. Maybe I should play the lottery once in awhile. ;-)
Judy, ain't that the truth! I don't think I've truly relaxed in years, lol.
ReplyDeleteBrigetta - I agree, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to do that? What a life that would be...
