We know that when we call our cat, he mayknock off purses come, if he smells tuna. When he does he will arch his back and stick his tail up in the air in a manner that is so irresistible we will be compelled to pet him. He may saunter over to the dog’s dish and take a leisurely lick of her water – just because he can. If we are very lucky, he will climb onto our lap and press his paws gently back and forth in a kneading motion. From him we have learned that self-respect, esteem and confidence come from within.
And so it has been with each of our animals. Our first cat, Bogart, taught us that quality of life sometimes takes precedence over quantity. Another feline, Bacall, showed us that life’s no fun if you’re always afraid. A white poodle named Princess taught me that it never hurts to be cute and that the best place of all is sometimes right at home.
The lessons learned from our pets can even help us understand the order of the universe, or at least make us smile. The other day, my son initiated an important philosophical discussion.
Some smart people say logic dictates louis vuitton handbagthat pets are more trouble than they’re worth. They might be right. Then again, you could spend your whole life following the smart rules and never have the privilege of knowing what it feels like to be purred upon or licked awake. Pet owners know.
As for me, animals are part of my family. Whether that’s smart or not doesn’t matter much. What matters is that if you come to visit (and we hope you do) it’s probably best not to wear black.
