TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR PETS. THEY LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.
Ten Commandments for a Responsible Pet Owner as dictated by the pet.
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is
likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your friends, your entertainment but I have only
you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words I do understand
your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth
that could easily crush the bones in your hand and yet I choose not to
bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right
food, I have been in the sun too long or my heart might be getting old
or weak.
9. Pleasetake care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
10. On the difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear
to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you
are there because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your companions. Enjoy and take
good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing
without God's critters. Please pass this on to other pet owners.
We do not have to wait for heaven to be surrounded by hope, love and
joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four feet.

Dear carouselqueen70:
I don't know why I found your blog just now. I have never visited anyone's space. Perhaps, the universe wishes for me to lend an ear.
I'm sorry to read of your sisters death. Be patience with yourself. Grief takes many forms and it takes time to process. You are not obligated to speed up the process. Just stay with us in the present moment.
As far as your situation with your dogs. All I can say, is that animals like children, have a good sense of people. I will say a little prayer for your home and that things balance out so you will not have to send your dogs out.
Take a moment today and step outside and be with nature. Take a deep breath and find just ONE thing to be thankful for. Make a big wish of where you want to be and what you want to do in your life and let it go....let the universe catch it on the next gust of wind.
And may it return to you shortly with a miracle attached.
Blessings of love and light,
Bre
Hey. mebre40 said It all and very well too. I just saw a heartbreaking story on the news of a rather large lady laughing away on her mobile phone while she was outside court. Her crime? Leaving her german Shepherd dog tied up In a house to die. It was found starved to death. I had to walk away from the television. People like that make me sick and very, very angry. We need more people like you In the world, people who care about animals. Love Pam xx
Bre is in the same mindset I am, I would trust the instincts of my animals above all else. The fact you opened up your home to this person and they are threatening your animals...I would tell them to hit the road and find someone else to freeload off of. I love this peice written for animals. As you can tell from visiting mine, I'm definitely an animal lover. People can find their own way in the world, our animals depend on us for everything, food, water, love and safety. (Hugs) Indigo
Are they still living with you?? Yea, I'm protective about my animals to. They clearly have a 6th sense to do people that we often don't see through like they do. I hope and pray that you will not have to adopt them out. I would fight tooth and nail against it :)
Take care

Hun, your dog knows and I think in your heart so do you. Something is happening that perhaps you have not seen with this man and your dog. He is the guest, your dog is your family.

Thanks so much for sharing this with me. You allowed the animals a voice today. It will make me appreciate my cat more today. I love him to pieces, yet now I appreciate him even more, and see things from his side. Anyway, I came by to say congrats on being a Guest Editor's Pick.
