In some ways, I think they represent God's creation in its purest form. Animals, domesticated and otherwise, are an essential part of our lives.

I *love* this post and could share endlessly about my big furry expressions of God named Elliott, Lucy and Silas. At 16-1/2 Elliott is a constant teacher on making the best of life including new physical limitations. Lucy is a three-legged dog (actually she has 4 legs, it's just that one is invisible *and* magical :)) who knows no limitations except vinyl flooring. And Silas enjoys being in his body like no one I've ever known! They are my mentors in life. I'm so pleased you emailed me (I'm on my laptop tonight which doesn't access my regular email) and wonder if we could meet in person sometime ... perhaps for tea? ... if /when your schedule allows. I visit Capitol Hill regularly and would love to see the Abbey and meet Tune. :) Blessings! ~C. Christine, your blog feels like a sanctuary!

I have a confession to make though, the reason she is looking up with such longing is that my husband was holding a treat up for her so I could take the photo of her in this perfect shaft of light. The joy of a dog upon our return has to be one of the great gifts of life. Kayce, it was so lovely to spend time with you yesterday, sharing tea and having you meet Tune. Yes, there is definitely a mutual gifting between us that I am in awe of. You are welcome back to the Abbey anytime. :-) Blessings, peace, and love, Christine Bette, this photo and the one of her on the “About” page are my two favorites.
