Lessons my dog is teaching me
Penelope Sparks Parsons aka Penny
My little dog, Penny, is growing older everyday. Dogs have such short lives compared to us. It seems just yesterday she was jumping into my lap, and now she can't jump at all. She needs extra tender love and care. She needs me to be gentle and understanding since she can't hear so well or move so well. If I hold onto the past when she was a coppery shiny penny of energy, I will only be sad. I must see her as she is today. I must accept her as she is today. Then today is just fine. I let her be as she is. I take her for walks and carry her most of the way. I let her run through the grass when she can. Everything in life changes. Which is why we must learn to live in Eternity. The arms of True Love are always open to hold us. Just be willing to be held, to let go, to surrender, into the arms of True Love. For sure, Penny teaches me about true love. All she has ever known how to do, her whole life long, is to love and be loved. She is an expert at love. I love little Penny. She's my little angel dog.
Awww, what a sweetheart little Penny is. She truly looks like an expert at love. I really enjoyed this post and understand what you say here and learned from what you said about accepting her as she is today, and then today will be fine. Because I too look at my little dog Cowboy and fear the day that he becomes old. He is only three years old now and I look at him and wish that he could stay young always and it makes me sad to think of when he becomes old. But your post taught me that instead of fearing that day, I can accept it when it arrives and then that day will be fine. Thank you Indira.
Also, I saw in the daily message that you mentioned an accident that you had. I did not know you had an accident. What happened? I hope you are better and stronger everyday.
