To Forgive And Forget ...

For the many times I have been observing my dogs , I realized that they never hold grudges against me. From all the times that I have accidently stepped on there tails', to what happened today. My mom forgot to take my dog Minnie outside , and She left a suprise for me at home . When I walked in the house , she immidiatly ran under the couch. I knew something was up. When I walked in my room it was a total disaster! My Trash was everywhere , my teddy bear was torn up , and there was fluff everywhere. Out of anger I spanked her and put her in the cage . I felt horrible afterwards . She was starring at me like I was such a bad person. Or atleast thats how I felt. When I let her out she jumped on me and licked my face like if nothing had happened.

Dogs never hold a grudge the way we do sometimes . They forgive and forget and love us to the fullest extent. I called my cousin and forgave him today. I missed him so much and im glad were talking again . I think its important to learn to forgive and let things in the past . Letting go of our grudges can lead to a stronger relationship , and let go of the anger we have inside .Reality is we seek revenge more than forgiveness. Wouldnt it be less stressful to let go of so much hate ? To forgive and forget , just like our pets do.

Life At Its Best

For the longest that I've had my pets I noticed that they live such a fulfilling life. Today when I took them to the park, I watched them run back and forth through the dirt, there tongues out and face pulled back by the wind for the sake of a good time. They run around enjoying every moment that life gives them. They play with such confidence that we perceive to have. As I see them leap around the park, I think about how I live my daily life. Do I live my life to the fullest? We live with so many worries of how others will look at us, or what the average normal person should be doing, and not what we want to do. My dogs live with no fear to get messy. They don't need an excuse to run around and experience joy. They pursue there happiness based on what makes them happy. It makes me think, why not dance around a little and let go of our worries. Live life as if no ones watching us. Why not live our lives how we want it? Its important to take advantage of every moment we have and loosen up a little. Life would be a lot more fun if we're willing to live the moment. They never let there ego get in the way of enjoying there selves. My youngest Doxie Lola is a great example. She's crazy and runs back and fourth, unable to control emotion, even if she's doing it alone. She doesn't hold back on what she feels and lives her life how she wants to. She finds happiness in the littlest things. We should express ourselves positively even to the strangers around us. Whether its sharing a smile or saying "Hello" to those who pass by. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks, as long as we live our life at its best, just like they do .

Happy Faces Waiting At Home...

There isn't a day that passes by that my dogs aren't waiting at the door when I get home. There always so happy to see me. They wag their  tails and give me slobbery kisses, so much love that can turn a bad day into a good one. These three Miniature Doxins, (Weiner Dogs as we call them) that make my life whole. Each one has their own distinct personality: the crazy jealous one that wants all the attention and barks at everything: Lola; the calm solitary one that doesn't bark when someone knocks: Minnie; and the sweetest one that follows me everywhere: Lady. Happy faces are always waiting for me at home. All they need to do is speak to be just like us. They love and react to the warmth I give them. My Doxies even get jealous when I'm petting the other. They fight much like when children get jealous of their siblings. However, they treat each other with such gentleness and love. Today when they were play fighting, I noticed they bite softly as if they know their intention is only to play. They help me find a balance in life and make me smile every time I see them. If only humans could be like our loving pets: unconditional. I can look horrible in appearance but they will see me as the most beautiful human being. There's no sense of insecurity to worry about as long as we love them. They communicate through feelings, but our world lives for material things and money.  If we were like dogs, our world would probably be peaceful and embraced with love. There would be no heartbreaks because all that would matter is our feelings toward each other.
