I Love Dogs

05/12/2024

❤️❤️❤️

The dogs I know have more soul, more heart, more love, more connection, more patience, and more softness than any human I’ve ever met. They don’t ask for anything, no explanations, no justifications. They just stay, steady and sure, as if they’ve always known what you need before you do.

People complicate love. They wrap it in conditions, dress it in expectations. Dive it towards pain and disappointment. A dog doesn’t do that. Their love is raw, honest, and without strings. Without complications. They see you..not the version you show the world, but the one you keep buried. And they love that version most of all.

I’ve met plenty of people, but none have ever matched the soft, gentle loyalty of a dog. They don’t try to fix you; they just sit beside you, whole and true. Through thick and thin. And that’s more than most humans will ever understand.

I personally dislike the word ‘ pets’ and prefer furry companions 😊 but I love the beautiful words here ❤️❤️❤️

Our pets are exceptionally special.
They have a natural ability to make us feel at home, to make us feel unconditionally loved — while never asking for anything in return.
We can be ourselves around our pets, wholeheartedly and unapologetically, while receiving the kind of love we all dream about… the kind of love that we don’t always receive from our parents, partners or friends. This is because pets are far more than just animals. They are our family, our best friends, and sometimes, our soulmates.
Our pets never judge us, offer unsolicited advice, break promises, or let us down.
They exist simply to love, and love is what they do best..

In the rich mosaic of my own journey, I find myself pausing to cherish the distinct colours and textures that each dog brought to the canvas of my life. From the lively chaos of my first furry friend's puppyhood to the serene companionship of the wise elder who shared the twilight of our days, each one left an indelible mark, a unique brushstroke on the portrait of my life.

Their joyous barks and affectionate nudges spoke a language of love that transcended the barriers of words, creating a silent dialogue between us. In the quiet moments of shared glances and the gentle touch of a paw, I uncovered lessons that went beyond the ordinary, revealing the depth of patience, empathy, and the profound connection forged in the simplicity of coexistence.

As I trace the imprints of their paws on the pathways of my heart, I recognise that these canine companions were not just pets; they were cherished co-pilots on the journey of self-discovery. Their unwavering loyalty and the unspoken bond we shared unveiled the beauty of devotion, reminding me that life's most meaningful lessons often come wrapped in fur, accompanied by wagging tails and an abundance of love ..

❤️ Teddy ❤️
I know I’m biased and totally besotted but….have a look at this boy of mine !
He’s just had a groom and a bath and look at that coat !
That’s an inside out job …all the goodness of great nutrition and amazing supplements.
He runs the paddock like a 5 year old and leaves Lucy behind and she’s 10 and he’s just turned 13 !
Also note …no grey hair and you can’t really see it but he has so much red in his coat now and it’s thick…shiny….soft and he is just magnificent 🥰
I did say I was besotted ❤️

We do like these and just received our bundle we got with this great discount!
I see sooooo many dogs with TERRIBLE teeth and really there is no excuse .
I know some people are reluctant to give raw meaty bones especially to small dogs but these are a great alternative.
Imagine never brushing your teeth and all that yukky plaque and bad breath 😳
Here’s a healthy solution and please 🙏 not the dental sticks from the supermarket…they are full of absolute crap and in my opinion toxic !
My dogs also get raw bones as well 😊

Bell & Bone is different from the pack. We're all about giving your dog a healthier and happier life with dental sticks, and collagen sticks. Free shipping on all Australian orders over $60. Our products are Australian made and grain-free!

Dogs lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price.
Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions ..

So glad this guy isn’t on my grooming run 😳

This one too ❤️❤️❤️

When a dog leaves this world, they take a piece of our hearts with them, carrying it to some boundless place where time and pain don’t exist, where they can finally run as far and as freely as they’ve always wanted. Imagine them there, in open fields warmed by an endless sun, no ache to slow them down, no age to tether them. They’re just as they were in their happiest moments—full of life, full of that bright, simple joy.

In this place, they have everything they ever loved. There’s a soft patch of grass under an open sky where they can roll around, the kind of sunlit spot they’d pick on a lazy afternoon. There are endless scents leading down trails that never end, with places to rest just the way they liked, curled up and content. It’s the home we’d want for them, a place that feels like love itself.

And somehow, they’re still connected to us. They remember every pat on the head, every quiet moment when you needed them most. They remember that shared glance, that familiar walk, and every little way you showed them they were loved. And they’re waiting, knowing somehow, somewhere, you’ll find them again.

One day, when you finally meet again, they’ll come running toward you, just like they used to, eyes bright, heart full, as if no time has passed at all. In that moment, every goodbye you ever said will turn into a hello again, and that love you shared will feel as whole as it ever was. Because that bond, that unbreakable bond, doesn’t fade—it just waits for you, ready to be picked up right where you left it.

Love this ❤️❤️❤️

To all the dogs we’ve had in our lives, we say we loved them, but the truth is, they loved us in ways we’ll never be able to repay. They gave us more than we could ever ask for—comfort when we didn’t even know we needed it, loyalty when we felt lost, and a kind of companionship that went deeper than words.

We say we loved them, but they were the ones who showed us what love really looks like. It was in their eyes every time we walked through the door, in the way they stayed close during the hardest days, in the moments when they just knew we needed them. They saw us at our worst and still looked at us like we were the best thing in their world.

To all the dogs we’ve had, we want them to know how much they shaped us, how they were more than just pets—they were family, they were soulmates in their own way. We loved them, but they loved us better, with a kind of pure, unwavering love that we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives.

So true ❤️

A shout out to our dogs ...

Sometimes it’s your dog who pulls you back from the edge when life and relationships have worn you down. They have this way of grounding you, bringing you back to earth with their simple presence.
While the world spirals with complications, your dog shows you a different way of living—one that isn’t bogged down by the weight of what-ifs or past hurts. They love without hesitation, live without worrying about tomorrow, and somehow, that brings you clarity.

If only we lived more like them, we might realize that not everything has to be so heavy. They find joy in the present moment, and in their eyes, nothing is ever as dire as we make it out to be. Through their perspective, healing becomes less about overthinking and more about letting go, about being in the here and now. Maybe if we stopped taking life so seriously, the way they do, we’d feel lighter, more open, and capable of bouncing back from whatever life throws at us. They remind us to simplify, to focus on love and connection, and to let the rest fall away.
