Unconditional Love

Your animal's love 'tis unconditional Such love is truly a joy As they gaze inside your very soul You feel so much better You feel almost whole They can sense when you are ailing As they rest their head upon your knee Wanting you and needing your response with just a smile Lovingly watching your every move As your heart and soul they beguile Written 4th April 2022 Contest A BRIAN STRAND STANDARD Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

Beautiful Ann ! I love this . I was sick many years ago and had to stay in bed for a month . My boyfriend at the time had a small elderly whippet who I had only met months before . She did not leave my side for 26 days …. She stayed with me and nursed me with her loving energy knowing I was unwell . I will never forget it . Animals are gifts touching our souls deeply. Congratulations on your win . Susan :)

Dear Susan ~ what a beautiful story my friend, although I am not surprised, as as they do know and sense when we are unwell. A whippet is such a gentle dog how lovely she was there for you... With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Dear Tom, they truly are a godsend although sadly I can no longer have a pet as the dreaded P has put a stop to all that. Our last dog was of course darling Bill Bulldog, who was the most incredible character and we both adored him. Hope all is well with you Tom and thanks for caring. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
