The Love They Give Us

Not only is there always another good animal in need of a good home,
but we must remember to be thankful for the time and love our animals give us while they are here.
Take time to enjoy them and learn from them.
As painful as it is to lose them, they teach us to love unselfishly, they teach us to live each day to the fullest,
they teach us to grow old gracefully, and they teach us to die with dignity.
We do them disrespect to focus only on the sorrow of their death
when they have given us so much joy through their life.
If we wish to honor them, take what they have given us, all that love,
and give it back to another animal in need of help.

meet Bruno...

Recently, I adopted Bruno, a 2-year old min pin, from Animal Rescue of Southern Illinois.
He is 12 pounds of pure, unconditional love!
Had to put my camera on sports mode just to shoot these...since Bruno rarely sits still outside!
When Bruno runs, his ears flap like wings, like he's going to take off flying at any moment! I love it!
He is such a sweet and happy boy!
I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of Bruno on my blog.

Have a great beginning to your week!
