This week has been a week of celebrations at Lakeview Veterinary Clinic. Cynthia Shaw, our part time assistant, is graduating from Bradley University on Saturday - her birthday!
And my daughter's birthday is today, Friday.
I was thinking of the fun of celebrations, and just taking a moment to enjoy those we have in our lives. I think our pets help us to do that tremendously.
Anyone who owns a dog knows that they just enjoy the moment. They enjoy that excitement, and don 't worry about where the next food will come from. They trust.
The cats just relax and enjoy the scene going by in the window, without worry about the next day.
Our daughter seems to have that enjoyment as well as she turns 8. I don't have that any more - I worry, like many of you.
I guess that's why God gave us children - to learn from them.
And why we enjoy our dogs and cats - they teach us things we need to remember.
