A pets place in our Heart

This is 'Baby Kitty". How many of you have had a pet that held a very special place in your heart? Baby was such a pet for me. I got her from a shelter as an adult on a trial basis at first. I was looking for a certain kind of cat, and well she worked out. I adopted her and gave her a forever home. I lost her last year. She died from natural causes, and I was holding her in my arms when she died. She was fighting it and I kissed her and told her it was ok, that she was loved, then she calmed down and died. I cried, only because I am selfish,I knew I would miss her, and I still do.  Our pets become part of our families and bring us just as much joy and saddnesss as our own flesh and blood does.
Some people are dog people and some are cat people, personally I'm a cat person. I like how independant they are and that they lay on your lap and seem to know when you need them. I have a cat currently that I have raised since his birth and he is spoiled rotten but is very loving, and follows me everywhere just like a dog. He almost died as a kitten and had to be fed by hand. Yes, he is now my baby, but he is an orange tabby named Tigger.
Whether you are a cat person or a dog person I hope your pet has blessed your life and touched your heart as "Baby Kitty"did and how Tigger is now for me. Pets add a quality to life that is rewarding to both owner and pet.

This is Tigger with Prince. After Baby kitty had been gone for almost a year we decided it was time to find another kitty like her. Now, although Prince is male he has baby's coloring and likes to sleep on my bed as she did. He also has a fasination with water, just like Baby. He has been a lot of fun to watch grow, as he is so similar to her.

I love Nature.

Image
I took this picture across the street from my home. I am fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth...The Pacific Northwest. I love nature. It's so simple and pure. Have you ever seen something like in this picture and stood there and contemplated just being? I remember taking a deep breath and just letting it out. Nature is so relaxing. I like how I can stand still, listening, and feeling everything around me, the wind, the sounds, and even the smells. It all allows me to connect to my environment, and to me appreciate it even more. Have you ever listened long enough to hear the trees creek, the leaves rustle, then the many different kinds of birds chirping, rustling in the trees or undergrowth, watched the ants on their different kinds of missions? Raising children these were all things that I loved pointing out to them....The world has so many little worlds on it, it's a truly amazing and beautiful place.

Life Shapes You........

Image
Growing up no one thought I would ever have any kids. Why, because I didn't want to have anything to do with them. I think I babysat one time, after that I always said no. I chose to babysit animals, mostly horses for our next door neighbor. Growing up I was totally a horse person. I loved the quiet time to think and talk to the horses. I spent hours and hours by myself. I was the youngest of eight children but being that my closest sibling was 5 years older then I, it felt more like growing up an only child. Over the years I have thought about how I felt about how I grew up, there are some things that shaped me that I believe altered my divine path. I think the number one thing, was that being so much younger then the rest of my siblings, I was always left out. I was always told I was to young to play games with them, to young to go on outings, and so I was hardly ever included...at least not enough for me to form any lasting memories of togetherness with my siblings. I a

Walls

Image
Over the years I have found that the things that I have experienced in life has caused me to build many walls. Many say that others actions don't effect anyone but themselves but I do not believe this. Our actions always effect those around us. I was born into a large family. I am the youngest of eight children and I was not planned. When I was only one year old one of my brothers was killed by two drunk drivers that were following each other in separate cars. The first car hit the pickup that my brother was a passenger, the pickup was spun around and was cross ways in the road. My brothers friend who was driving had hurt his knee and my brother got out to go around the pickup to check on his friend, that is when the second car came around the bend and slammed into the pickup throwing my brother a distance. This driver continued his motion and ran over my brothers body. The accident report says that there were tire tracks across my brothers chest. This incident has effect
