Given and received. My Grandpa Perfect Golden Retriever just had a big problem with his eye. One of his best friends is the darn cat. They play together, chase each other and generally irritate the crap out of each other. I think the cat inadvertently scratched his eye. The vet put dye in his eye and there was a chunk out of his cornea. So he's on oral anti-biotics, eye drops and pain pills. His eye is crusted shut every morning and it's really bothering him. And of course the vet had to point out his age and some beginning cataracts. "If I know Petunia, she will take on this challenge the way she takes on life, with not much grace, but a whole lot of courage and an amazing amount of heart. This dog, she falls down, and she just gets back up. No fuss, no muss, she just keeps on going. There is a lesson for me here." Love love this. My doggies have taught me more than any college/book, and have helped me more than any therapist. I'm buying Pom Pom's for Petunia. :o) That’s exactly it: unconditional love. Given and received.
