Feel Goods

Yesterday i did a good deed, and it made me feel good. Just a simple thing can affect your life so easily. Three of my Red hat sisters and i went to a Red hat sisters' home and cleaned it for her. She went up north to visit and the love of her life and companion died. It was a very important part of her life and it devastated her. She is coming home for Thanksgiving so we went over. (One of the ladies has a key) It took very little time since there were 4 of us. She is supposed to get a new puppy, but we don't know if it will before or after she comes home. It will help her heal. It is amazing what a pet can do for your life. It will make you laugh, it will comfort you when you are sad, it gives you someone to talk to. They are just a treasure to have. God knew what he was doing when he made animals and let us tame them to be pets. Some people go thru life with attitudes that forbid animals, whether from fear or just disgust who knows. Then there are those who claim not to want pets in the house, or don't like animals. But melt when a pet cuddles up to them. Then there are those of us who realise what a special gift that a animal is. No matter the mood, you can be guaranteed love with no strings attached. I had a Cocker spaniel when i was a kid. She was with me till i was a senior in high school. I wasn't real out going like i am today. Didn't have much confidence. I had great friends, you could say i was in the "in crowd" in fact because i was friends with them. But most of all i had Cindy. (my best friend also had a Cocker called Cinder) we both loved our dogs dearly. i could come home and lay all my troubles on Cindy and she would just snuggle up closer and love me. I could cry and she would kiss my tears away. I've had many pets since then but none were as important, and cared for me like she did. I'm sure my friend feels the same about Cinder. Teenage yrs are so traumatic anyway. Now don't get me wrong I've loved all my animals. Having to put Bandit to sleep hurt really bad. I had him 17 yrs. Teaser is my current love and he has given both of us so many happy moments. He's like the Bunny, he keeps on, and on. If we out live him that will be another really sad moment. He is another special one. OK, I set out to talk about feeling good. And don't want to end on a sad note. So to all of you who have pets be kind and love them like they love you. Do something special to make yourself feel good today. Life happens!
