Pets- according to Wikipedia are animal/s kept for companionship and enjoyment, reading Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul had made me more appreciative of pets we have at home and thankful we have them .. presently we have 2 large hammerhead fishes at home, one being an albino and small little ones, whom my nieces and nephews visit at once the moment they arrive for a visit at home, around 18 african lovebirds of different colors sizes and colors that my dad takes care of and is his source of excercise peace and quiet.
Presently we have a local doggie, a shitzu and the 2 japanese spitz...ive observed, laughed, cried , and was proud of all pets that had passed by me from my youth to the present.. and of course cried when there time was up .. particularly a cat who always was there when i got sick and waited to check if all the humans in the house are complete and if not she stayed at the gate til everybodys present inside, and dogs who died of illness and old age, my big fishes who fed on dog food :) .. all who during special times in my life were not just loyal uncomplaining loving silent companions and listeners but angels to our family.
Here are a few beautiful things ive learned from Chicken Soup -for the Pet Lovers Soul that made me more appreciative of these loving creations of God and am sure works on us humans too:D :
- LOVE knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
- All are beautiful if you love them.
- Animals are such agreeable friends, they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
- Its a mistake trying to hold on to something that doesnt need you.
- on Child/ Wild Animal rearing - the object is to love them take care of them , til they can take care of themselves.
- Words hurt worst than blows.
- The first duty of love is to liste,
- where there is love expect great miracles.
- No friend can be as loving and loyal and trustful as a dog.
- Theres healing and miracles in loving hands and kindness.
- DOG - firmest of friend, frist to welcome, foremost to defend.
- The size of a friend has nothing to do with the void he/she leaves behind
- A pet named is pet claimed.
- Pets Dies- sometimes hurt is the price of loving.
- Do your best with what youve got
- from a 4 year old on why animals have short lives : everybody is born in order to learn how to live good lives and learn how to love, well animals already know that so they dont have to live as long.

FORGIVENESS CORNER
this corner is for those who we want to forgive and those for whom we pray for forgiveness, let us ask Jesus to help us and open our hearts to forgiveness and forgiving. Look at the Cross and tell Jesus, Lord i want to forgive, im finding it hard to do so, help me. I chose to forgive and leave everything in Your loving hands.
