A Simple Message From Your Pet
by Ken D. Conover
To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and
returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me
so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve
not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am
as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among fthe flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints
and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such
as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.
Your pet in heaven.

>The young child took her Mother by the hand

>"Don't worry,

>Over the next few days

>They both felt she was being too particular.
>"It's this weekend

>Dad finally said in frustration.
>"We don't want to hear anything more

>Sure enough
>they were the first ones in the shelter

>By now the young child knew her way around,

>Tired of the routine,
>mom sat in the small waiting room
>at the end of the first row of cages.
>There was an observation window

>The young girl walked slowly from cage to cage,

>One by one the dogs were brought out
>and she held each one.
>One by one she said,
>"Sorry, you're not the one."
>It was the last cage o! n this last day

>The volunteer opened the cage door

>This time she it took a little longer.
>"Mom, that's it!
>I found the

>He's the one! I know it!"
>she screamed with joy.
>
>Mom, startled by all the commotion,
>came running.
>"What? Are you sure?
>How do you know?" she asked.
>"It's the puppy sighs!"
>"Yes, it the same size as all the other puppies
>you held the last few weeks," mom said.
>"No, not "size" . "sighs."
>"When I held him in my arms he sighed,"
>she said.
>"So?"
>"Don't you remember?
>
>When I asked you one day
>what love is, you told me
>"Love depends on the
>sighs of your heart.
>The more you love,
>the bigger the sighs!"
>
>The two women looked at each other for a moment.
>Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
>As she stooped down to hug her child
>she did a little of both.
>
>"Mom every time you hold me I sigh.
>When you and Daddy come home from work
>and hug each other you both sigh.
>I knew I would find the right puppy
>if it sighed when I held it in my arms," she said.
>Then holding the puppy up close to her face she said,
>"Mom, he loves me.
>I heard the sighs of his heart."
For all you animal lovers....
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with
us
every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and
it is
difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will
be
with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so
that
you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how
selfish or
childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as
you
are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it
was
a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged
his
tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in
the
Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal." And God
said,
"No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection
of
my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you
will
call him DOG."
And dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved
them.
And they were comforted. And God was pleased.
And dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,
"Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and
preen
like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has
indeed
taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will
be
with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion
will
remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not
always
worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into cat's
eyes,
they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't care one way or the other.
