Just like all things in life, this is a part of the cycle. Not only do we live, get sick, heal, and leave the earth, so do those we love. As I watched my little old lady snorking away this morning as I got ready for work, I came up with this little poem:
Animal Dreams
I wonder what she dreams about
I wonder why she runs as if someone is after her when her eyes are closed
I wonder if she sees in color when she sleeps
I wonder if she becomes human once she lies down
I wonder if she dies in her nightmares
I wonder what she feels when she enters that other world
In honor of the fur babies that have come and gone, I wish you all warmth and love this holiday season.
