Prompt: "My goal in life is to be as good as my dog or cat thinks I am." Write about this in your Blog entry today. ----- I don't have a dog or a cat now, since August, that is, when my last cat, Noche, suddenly went to the cat heaven. Noche was a very nice, sensitive, loving cat. I miss her so very much! I believe Noche thought I was pretty good, too. It was evident in the way she always wanted to do what I was doing, be it making the bed, gardening, doing the laundry, etc. Her involvement in my chores made the chores take a longer time, but I was glad for her help and never complained. How could I complain when she snuggled up to me in bed and looked at the book I was reading and tried to do just the same? And how can I forget how she always talked in her sleep? I wonder, now, if I also talk in my sleep. But I'll never know that, will I! As to the quote, it captures the sweetness and the ideal of the animal-human relationship. In my life, I experienced nothing but an unconditional love and loyalty from my pets along the years. Because my pets perceived me as being so wonderful, who am I not to try to reach to that image in their minds! The qualities my pets, or rather animal friends, have shown me--such as patience, consistency, empathy, acceptance, and love-- are the very qualities that could make me a better person. If I could only reach up to their expectations! |
