The love a great dog
Can’t be measured in inches, feet, ounces or time. What your love a of lifetime gives to you is truly
immeasurable. A beloved red border
collie named Pete passed from this realm into the next, early this
morning. I know his mom is feeling a huge
hole in her heart like I felt when I lost my Junie Bug. It stings, burns & hurts like no other
feeling. Made me want to swear, curse and kick the walls. It felt like my heart had been
ripped out and run over. The thought
that you have more time than you really do burned in my head. By age, Pete had many more years to frolic
and play, I think that is why we feel robbed when our companions don’t live out
their senior years with us.
6 years later for me, I still very much miss my Junie Bug, I
know now I always will. You can’t be that
big of a personality and not leave a mark on at least a few people. She left a gigantic crater sized hole in me. She was a gift to my life of epic proportions. She pushed me to do all sorts of things I didn't know I was capable of . Those gifts I am still learning & using to this
day. May be it wasn't so much a hole she left....maybe it was bringing me to a level of awareness that I didn't know I could attain, hmmmmm...expanding out to new horizons can be scary at first.....I do my best to be still and
listen, for there is so much to take in if you allow yourself to receive those
gifts.

I know this can be a tough time of year for many people, it brings
up all sorts of memories of family, friends & loved ones that are no longer
here. May I suggest that we honor them by being
still in our thoughts and allow ourselves to receive those gifts they can still give us.
Go give love to your dogs, cats, horses, llama, sheep or
whatever companions that you share your life with now, don't forget the people too. :) May we always BE giving and receiving in love.
Namaste, Merry Christmas and BE love
