Unconditional Animal Love

This blog post is for those of you who have pets such as indoor cats or dogs.  We have two one-year old Chihuahua pups.  They are sweet and playful and demand attention.  What I love most though is that when we're  sick or just having a bad day, they know it.  Not only do they know it but they want to cuddle and love on us.  It is an awesome experience.

Meet Biscuit and Blu:

Our pups share our king-sized bed at night.  I worked rather late last night and by the time I fell into bed and finally found sleep, I experienced some unpleasant dreams.  Blu (momma’s boy) must have sensed it because he wound his four pound body up between my shoulder (I was sleeping on my side) and the pillow, resting his head on my throat.  I felt the love pouring out of his warm little body and listening to his little puppy breaths as he breathed in and out quickly calmed me. 

Somehow he knew I was agitated and came to my rescue.  And that my friends, is unconditional love.  No matter how my days flow, the pups are there to enhance it.  At times we do have issues with them, like running to the emergency vet, cleaning up after the occasional accident, and running the sweeper more often because they tend to destroy their toys, but what they give in return is priceless.

If you don’t have pets, consider changing that.  There are so many animals that need loving homes to belong to.  It took my husband and I a long time to commit to these little guys but now, I wouldn’t change a thing.  I only have to look at their cute little faces and wagging tails to know that life is good.  They make every day just a little bit better.
