EP45: DOGS... Lessons on Loving & Dying

Life Love Music & Space Travel

After recently helping my little Dude Chip transition from this life to the next, I felt the deep desire to pay homage to all of the doggies I have had the pleasure AND honor to share time with. They ALL taught me lessons on loving, and those that have passed on have surely taught me lessons due to their dying. In prepping for this episode I thoroughly enjoyed reflecting on each furry babe and their impact on my life. And although the grief felt from their departure was unbearable at times, I wouldn't trade a second of it if it meant not getting to feel all of the joy they have added to my earthly experience thus far. I know I'm not the only one who has fallen fastly in love with a member of the animal kindgom ;) There is no question that we are blessed beyond measure for getting to share time with each and every fur, or furless, babe that graces us with their presence :) And for those not yet familiar with gaining the friendship, and eventual love, from the many animals on the planet: STOP WASTING TIME AND INVITE AN ANIMAL INTO YOUR LIFE :) My deepest condolences to those of you who have also felt the loss of a furry or furless companion... I send endless prayers for courage, grace and humility to those of you nearing the experience of helping your loved one cross over the Rainbow Bridge... And most of all I gently suggest that all of ya'll pet parents out there make it a priority to soak up every bit of time with your babes!! They are never here long enough. I hope my sharing inspires you to reflect on your own experiences along with the countless lessons your furry/furless family members have provided or will eventually provide you ;) All of my love... Ang
