Hoping all my clients past and present have enjoyed a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to the year ahead. Thank you for you support this past year, and for trusting me with the fur members of your family. Each one is special in their own way to me. 😊
Christmas this year has looked slightly different to me, as it's the first in 12 years that I've not had my Number 1 boy with me in the physical sense.
There was no bark at 4am on Christmas morning to tell me my little one was up already!! Checking if Santa had been.
And there was no present under the tree with Merlins name on. 💔
They're not words that are enough to say how much he meant to me. And no its not fair that our faithful companions do not live longer.
But.. the length of time they are on our lives.. whether long or short.. They show us their unwavering, unconditional love, and faithfulness, which makes us the lucky ones to have had that.
So if you're just starting your journey through puppyhood, or pulling your hair out in the adolescent stage, or perhaps enjoying the steady pace before the twilight years.. My advice would be to laugh at their antics, even if sometimes it's hard going, take in every bit of them everyday, and take pictures lots of them..!! Because that small window of times goes by so fast, then slow your pace to match theirs, hold them a bit closer, sit on the floor beside them to watch the TV, or scroll through your phone, and tell them again you love them.
Because you'll be thankful you did, and they'll know you're giving to them what they've always freely given to you.. Love to last a life time. Ours, and theirs 🌈💖🐾
