My Favorite Animal

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite animals?

My Favorite animals are horses and dogs. Horses, because they are so beautful and have served mankind in so many different ways, throughout history. Dogs, because they are so loyal, faithful and true. I’ve had three dogs in the last few years. Happy was a Sheltie, adopted from the humane society, He lived with us for 15 years and had many happy days with us. Cooper, a Jack Russel Terrier Mix, came to live with us a few years later, and became happy’s constant companion. When Cooper’s health failed, I sat on the deck and cried every day because I missed him so much. About a month after his passing, we adopted Sadie, a Kelpie who was also in a shelter, and likely would not have found a home, as she had been brought back twice, for misbehaving. We have her to this day, and she is a wonderful and loyal friend.

Every day life….and dogs……..

This Dog……I have to share this Testimony with you. Tim was always a cat person, he didn’t like dogs when we first got together. Anyway this is COOPER ……

He didn’t want a dog, I talked him into Happy, then we got Cooper.

Happy went everywhere Tim, layed at his feet and licked his hand every day and they were just like best friends almost. When cooper first came to live with us Tim called him a monster and a land shark.

Now they are so close- and Cooper just last night grabbed his coat and pulled on him …he was so excited to ride in the truck with him and knew that’s what they were doing. He jumps up on him and literally Tries to TALK if Tim won’t scratch him.

“ROW OW OW“….he says……and tries to make his hand scratch him.

He’s a character! He tried so hard to kill this ball for us so it won’t bother us. LOL ……He eats bees and flies all the time it’s a serious mission to him to KILL THEM because they might be bothering us. Anyway It’s a dog story………..we love our dogs, they love us.

We still love Happy even though he’s gone….and think of him often.

Tim saw the benefits of dogs from being with one every day, learning of their unconditional love, funny ways and loyal friendship. Isn’t that how we all learn something? From constant exposure to something good?

Or if it’s bad, eventually we learn to get away from it! right? -Laura Grace, Author
