January 10--Priceless Pets

The greatest gift we can make to others is our true presence.  --Thich Nhat Hanh

    When all else fails, pet the dog or cat. That's what our pets are--a right-with-you presence of love. That is why they are so priceless. We really lucked out with Barney in that he mostly likes being with his people, and he totally chills when he has both my husband and me in sight. It is hard to express his presence in the house, but it is huge. I miss him even when he's out on a short "ride in the truck" (OH, BOY!!!) with my husband. He's a great traveler, too. Barney's ecstasy over belly-rubs reminds me that life need not be taken so seriously. 
    Simple pleasures are the best!
