I have had the opportunity to be loved by these fur babies all my life - and thanks to them I learned my first lessons about love and loss. I know that they will continue to enrich my life and heart, and that my heart will break with each loss. I know that every time a new fur baby enters my life, I will have to go through a whole realm of emotions that I am usually not ready for, but even as I sit and cry over the loss, I know that every minute spent with them was worth absolutely everything. Thank you for sharing your thoughts - elegant as always - with us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09823876923289388152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130144385401947676.post-18858959731690897152018-02-04T10:41:43.474-05:002018-02-04T10:41:43.474-05:00When we invite a pet into our home I believe we ar...When we invite a pet into our home I believe we are chosen . . we do not choose. One day that pet becomes a friend and a family member. At that moment our lives become enriched with the unconditional love from the new family member. We nurture, care for, love and keep them safe and become fiercely protective of them and their welfare. A enthusiastic wag, dancing eyes and a smiling face and warm heart to snuggle with is the only reward needed and what we look forward to each and every day. Once you open your heart to a pet you will never be alone or lonely - they fill your life with love and devotion. And we become better for it. <br /><br />Forever home takes on a new meaning when we allow a pet into our heart. Knowing that you gave them everything you could by giving them love and the dignity to enter the next stage is all anyone could ask for.<br /><br />Miles as well as the Sheffield family was blessed when you found each other.Cousin Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600988511858437643noreply@blogger.com
