A CAT, A DOG, A HORSE ANY PET CAN TUG ON YOUR HEART STRINGS
AND CAST THE STRINGS A DISTANCE
THEIR INNOCENCE, THEIR PLAYFULLNESS, THEIR SHOWING OF MANY EMOTIONS WITHIN THEIR EYES-CONTENTMENT AND PLEASURE, ADVENTURE AND MORE.
THEY BRING COMPANIONSHIP AND SO MUCH MORE
THE PROBLEM IS THEIR LIFE SPAN IS SO MUCH SHORTER THAN OURS.
AND FEAR OF LOOSING THEM MAKE US WONDER IF WE SHOULD REEL THOSE HEART
STRING IN BEFORE WE ARE REALLY HURT BY THIER EVENTUAL LOSS, BUT YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN'T BECAUSE THE STRINGS GET SNAGGED.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS AND IT DOES HURT FOR DAYS AND MONTHS,
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THE YEARS THEY HAVE GIVEN TO US IN COMPANIONSHIP AND
PLEASURE, DOES BY FAR OUT WEIGH THE PAIN AND SORROW FELT UPON THEIR EVENTUAL LOSS.
REMEMBER THE FAMILIAR PHRASE
"IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST, THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL"
