It has been a hard couple of months in our household. One of my cats passed in December, and my boyfriend's dog just passed last night. He had cancer, but it was totally unexpected for us. We got home last night, and one thing after another happened until he took his last breath right there in front of our eyes. And I am very sad, but it made me realize how precious life is. So I wanted to share what I learned from my pets about life.
1) Love unconditionally-pets are so full of love for you, and it does not matter what you do, they love you as much today as they did yesterday. They do not hold grudges or keep score.
2) Always ask for what you want-it does not matter how many times you may tell them "no" about a certain food or that you are too tired to play or whatever, they will look at you with those eyes, cry, paw at you, simply wear you down until you give in.
3) Follow your instincts-about people, about situations, about anything. Animals just "know" what is going on. My other cat knew that the dog was going to pass, but we did not see the signs ourselves.
4) Live your life to the fullest-Sleep when you want to sleep, play when you want to play, be who you are and know that people will love you. We should all take more time to do the things that we want to do. In a hectic world, it is easy to get caught up in the rat race. But in the end, the only thing that really matters is that you lived a life full of love.
