Pets of the Heart

As a pet sitter, I am introduced to many different types of dogs and cats.  Some are big, little, furry yet each one entirely different.  I enjoy each one and marvel in their different personalities.  They make me laugh and when they move away or cross the rainbow bridge, they make me cry.

But every now and then a pet comes into my life and finds a special place in my heart.   Sometimes it is immediate and other times it takes a while.  The latest one is Daisy.  She is a Chihuahua who has been rescued and given a forever home with two other dogs, Isabel & Buster.  Each visit I make sure each dog receives some one-on-one special attention.  When it is Daisy’s turn, she snuggles up on my chest and lays her head against my face.  The first time she did this, she captured my heart.

So here’s to Prada, Jack, Fred, Otto and Icarus all have moved away and all pets of my heart.   I think of you fondly and miss you.
