What dogs teach us is profound, if we’re paying attention.
Dogs don’t send cards, make chicken soup or do any of the things that we think about doing when a loved one is sick.
They know what to do. It’s instinctive.
They are simply there. They sit by the side of their sick loved one and simply are there for them.
It’s just that easy: Be there.
When our Cutie had an irritation she kept licking raw and had to wear a cone, our Benji sat by her side. All day. Everyday. Steadfast. He was there for her. Just…there. And in that way, he took care of her.
It was beautiful.
I’ve always believed the best thing we can do for a loved one is be there for them, but I’ve always lived away from many loved ones. I could come in for weeks at a time. But it wasn’t always possible for me to be there every day.
And that’s why I do the work I do. Our beautiful healing gifts allow anyone to be helpful even when we can’t be there. The healing affirmations, the guided journal, healing candles–they are all ways we can say “I’m with you. I’m thinking of you.” Even when we can’t be there.
Always affordable. Candles as low as $10. Gift packages as low as $19.99. Discounted shipping. Can you tell I believe in supporting others? I hope you’ll consider our gifts. Thank you.
I’m sitting here alone with 3 dogs next to me. (one is a grand dog) It’s such a soothing feeling knowing they’re there.
My husband asked me a few weeks ago if it would be okay to let our dog sleep on our bed. I was reluctant, but said yes. My husband gets terrible migraines and has trouble sleeping so I thought how could you want another body on the bed when you toss and turn. I just mentioned to him today that he’s been sleeping so well this week. Maybe having his favorite person in bed with him (not me, the dog LOL) has a lot to do with his well being.
Aww, that is so sweet. I know when one of my dogs isn’t feeling well, the other two stick close by.
I think we can definitely learn alot from our pets. Dogs arent called a mans best friend for nothing!
My three dogs always stick together and with me at my side. When I’m feeling ill they are by my side too. Its a wonderful unconditional love.
This is great! We have a 10 year old husky that has taught us so much about unconditional love!
It’s so simple, and yet so true. Just being there for someone is very powerful. We can learn a lot from our four legged friends.
Aww so cute, dogs really are a man’s (or womans!) best friend!
My dogs bring me extreme comfort, especially when I am feeling physically or mentally ill. A few minutes of snuggles always leaves a smile on my face!
So sweet. Dogs can be great companions. I’m more of a cat person myself though. They’re feisty, but easier to take care of.
We recently got a puppy and it’s been so fun to see how my kids each interact with him. It’s very sweet!
Dogs always know when we aren’t feeling good. They can be a comfort just by laying down next to us.
Dogs are so adorable. We need to learn from them in term of this. Just by being there when someone is sick or down.
Pets are very sensitive they fill our emotions so they behave towards it.
I have learnt so much from my dog it is amazing all the things she had taught me over the years and keeps teaching me daily.
Aww dogs are always there to care and show affection to their pet parents. It seems like they understand us even if we do not speak the same literal language.
I’ve always found comfort through my dogs. They love you no matter what and want to please. i love them so much and will spend my last dime on them.
That is very true! My dog always knows when someone needs her and lays right by them! I think we can learn a lot form pets!
That was nice seeing those dogs stick together. That cone looks more comfortable than some I’ve seen some dogs wear. Hope your pet is feeling better soon.
Whenever one of my dogs isn’t feeling well, the other is practically glued to her side. Dogs really do know how to show compassion.
