Life, many times, feels like an endless journey to belong, to fit in, to find peace and happiness. But the shortest distance you need to travel to feel this way is across the room, to a dog waiting to show the most love in the world it can conjur.
The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, pets we allow into our solitude. -Robert Brault
So remember Magpie, that having a pet, loving a companion of the furry kind, can bring you joy not humanly possible. It does not give so that it can receive in return, no, the dog gives because it knows no other way.
Animals are such agreeable friends -they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. -George Eliot
The wag of the tail, the happiness in the eyes, the joy that eminates from within, all for you. It's so easy to let people in your life down, but your dog? You have to work with incredible force, power and effort to let your dog down. Don't take this special gift for granted.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings
So true, so true. What you can find in a dog is not possible to find in most humans. When you find people who love you equally, hold on tight and don't let go, but never expect them to love you like your dog loves you. If they do, cherish them with all your heart, and look to see if they have a tail hidden somewhere or find squirrels very very interesting.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. -Anatole France
I've seen this quote quite a bit recently and each time it makes me smile. I think of Ginger. And I know, that when I take the time to show love and praise, something inside of me eases, calms and becomes even happier.
A dog wags its tail with its heart. -Martin Buxbaum
