A few worrying days, my dog Diva was under par and Yonnie was limping, today both are back to normal😄my pets are everything, we give up so much for them, but they give so much back in return,they teach us to value the simple things, their loyalty is without question and i believe if humans had hearts like our pets the world would be so much kinder because they don't create anger or wars. I know their life span is shorter than ours, but in that time, they teach us humility, they ground us. They don't care if we live in a cottage or a castle, all they want is to be with us.
Yesterday I was in the garden deep in thought when birds were hopping across the lawn and the Hedgehog was busy eating food i had put down and my dogs were just sat watching, not attempting to shoo them away, and i was surprised and in awe when the birds were just a step away from them. For a moment in time, I felt i was in the promised land.

What a beautiful and thoughtful post. I can definitely relate. My dog and cat mean everything. They need me, love me unconditionally and don't judge. When my anxiety is high I brush the cat. Brush in one hand while petting him with the other. It calms me. I have three bird feeders out back. My dog lays on the deck while the birds come and go and the chipmunks eat what has fallen to the ground. She doesn't bark and often watches them. The deck is only about five feet from the feeders. Our pets and nature give us so much. I wish more people would try to learn from them.
Thankyou , yes our pets and being with nature is an uplifting and positive experience, and you too are fortunate that you experience it too, it is a calming feeling.
Hello secrets what a lovely post so true all you say, I can't understand how some can have a life without a pet, I'm glad your dogs are ok, I love all creatures great and small I used to have a hedgehog visit regular and left food out for it, I wish you many more years with the comfort of your dogs bless you 🤗🌺
This is a wonderful post. I had a lump in my throat reading it.
Our pets are everything to us. They give us purpose and that unconditional love we will never get from a human.
I'm glad your babies are ok.
I also want to thank you for feeding the 🦔. I understand they struggle for food sometimes and they need caring people like yourself to help them during these rough times
Baby our ginger tabby who is 19 is regarded as a family member and she rules the roost as she is spoilt!
When she was a little kitten she was very naughty!
Baby was called Baby because I made a comment to her mother after I had seen all the stuff she had bought for the new arrival like you do a new baby that you would think she was having a BABY not buying a kitten so the new kitten was called Baby after that comment!
I love it when animals (and humans) get along like how you described. I, too, would feel like I was in the Promised Land having seen what you saw in that bucolic setting.
Hi. I just wish that we could all have some time witnessing and understanding what you were able to experience. It certainly would open up some eyes to the world we live in. I hope you have many more of these experiences. I'm looking forward to my first sighting.
