Pets Are Us By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Hello fellow readers,

So it is not a Very happy post this, though in the sense that in the long term it would be if the following makes sense, then, this is!

They are bigger than you. They always will be. This is, your forever pets, we are talking about. 

Or, mainly I am and I am choosing to share with you, my (wider) audience - I say wider, bcos, it's not music or the arts or general local stories (with my artistic input) that I write for with my blog.

However, our pets are sometimes better than a call to the GP - they can become 'an emotional support pet/animal" without us even realising it. 

However, even though my pet wasn't a qualified therapist I feel he has always given back twice/tenfold whatever I have supported him with.

So, naturally, when he turned into his senior years, and was still willing to keep on standing, I readily admit, although it was tremendously difficult, without a prayer or more to God there's no way I would have found the strength, "to man up", and,...

...make that decision, shall we say, sooner, rather than later, Praise be to God, and, whatever Faith, there is only One God, so, I asked the Vet (as this is the first time I have opted for this option), and as I usually always do, anyhow, please can I say a prayer (for my pet)?!

And, although, the Vet interrupted the prayer with their opinion, input, I guessed it didn't matter as at the end of the day They're The Expert, anyway, and, so I proceeded to help my pet/companion of 8 years, become to be at peace with their journey into the spiritual world, as this is what he, at least, deserves.

Thank you Mr Minsky Cooper

Good night, sweet dreams and God bless, my pet xox
