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

Susan Lawrence Date: 4/7/2022 7:18:00 AM 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 :) Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 4/11/2022 1:53:00 AM 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

Tom Cunningham Date: 4/4/2022 12:03:00 PM They are a godsend Ann, they bring so much joy. Hope you're feeling better. Tom Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 4/5/2022 5:56:00 AM 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
