Animals Love

I love animals and truly believe that they do
love us back. I know my 4 birds, 5 cats, and 6 dogs
truly loved me and it wasn't just because I fed them.
They always looked and acted so happy to see me.
Who else does this?

I know my family and friends love me but they don't
jump for joy when they see me like my animal friends do :o)

My cat playfully, and softly bites my hand when I pat
her and softly slaps at my feet when I pass her and she
smiles at me and wags her tail ever so softly when I
talk to her.You can just see that she loves me!

My birds would start singing at the top of their
lungs when they heard me drive up.

My dogs would chase and bark at everything within 10
feet of me when I came home. Then they would jump on
me when I stepped out of my car licking, kissing,
nipping, and dancing around me as if I
had been gone for 10 years...

Oh their joy of seeing me again1

I hope when I go to heaven, and I will, I see all of my
loved ones walking towards me with arms outstretched,
welcoming me and close behind them, I hope to see all of
my animal friends running to greet me.

Note:

This prose was written after Helen was forced to leave
her home in Port Author, Texas, due to Hurricane Rita
and not knowing if she would see her cat Mazzie again..
she felt that the cat would surely be dead but when
she returned home, some 10 days later, Mazzie was
there waiting for her.. Now that's love!

Although the prose is not written about the experience of
leaving mazzie... she was prompted to write this..

Prose dedicated to Mazzie for her love and endurance!
