~ We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan. ~ Irving Townsend
This weekend we celebrated a special day, a Gotcha Day – seven years since we adopted one of our rescue dogs. The passing of time seems to have flown by so fast.
My dogs are my best friends. They are always there, ever loving, never rejecting. Always ready to do something, go somewhere, play, or just chill out and be together. I love them more than I can put into words ~ they are my sunshine.
We lost one of our best friends, suddenly, last Summer. We are conscious that we have adopted a number of dogs who are very close in age and we are worrying because two of our beautiful dogs are currently facing health concerns. I really do feel we are living in a fragile circle. There’s a big downside to this, but there’s an upside too. Realising how fragile this circle of life can be, enables me to appreciate all the wonderful times spent with my best friends; whether excitingly exploring somewhere new, enjoying our regular routes, or snuggling at home together, in perfect comfortableness.
I appreciate all the moments which are making memories of my best friends for years to come. Even the naughtier moments. Maybe especially the naughtier ones. Give all you can to your best friend(s), you won’t regret it.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s not important. Oh and burn your Cesar Millan books as kindle and get Bones Would Rain from the Sky instead. Your dog will thank you for it.
