Setting up for Sunday’s Jikiden Reiki Reiju Kai and Holiday Party at my home. I moved the ottoman against the wall. Covered it. Put pillows on the wall, and I turn around and Ava is up there. . . It made me smile and wanted to hug her so. I dont know how much longer she will be with me, but grateful for the 13 1/2years she’s been with me. I cherish each day as a gift. . . She’s . . • been my healer • never judged me • my business partner • my therapist • my friend • my companion • never tried to tell me what to do or how to live • shared good times and bad times with me • taught me so many pearls • hiked with me • facilitated healing to others with me • loved me unconditionally • never complains Et etc I’m so grateful for her is the best. . . Our pets are there for us always no matter our religion, economic status, race, age. Too many pets are tossed out in the street when the puppiness has worn off. . . Our pets deserve better especially as they age. . . What have animals brought to you in your life? Please share
