Haiku My Heart - Dedicated Love

 
Soft kitty, warm too
Animal love fades heartache
And teardrops dry up
 
 
pastel on sanded paper
 
 
I know these Haiku words to be true.
From experience.
If you have heartache,
or hurt,
or just feeling miserable,
try hugging
petting
interacting somehow with
your dog
or your cat
or your child's hamster
or your neighbor's rabbit.
Animals react with unconditional love.
They return what they receive.
Even if it's caged
and you simply feed it a treat,
your heart will feel happy as you watch your offering
being accepted and enjoyed.
I am really a lucky one.
I get to hug a big blue and gold bird.
Have you ever hugged a bird?
It's awesome!

A special thanks to
for allowing me to use her kitty Daisy
as a model.

  5. Hi Judie, There is something particularly soothing about a car when comfort is needed. The nestle and purr puts me in a calm place much like the warm tongue and cold wet nose of comforting dog. When people fail us, animals never do.

  11. I'd be forlorn without my kitties, especially Jax, who loves to sit on my lap. Your bird is gorgeous! We did have a cockatiel who took a shine to Hubby; Slick would sit on my hubbys shoulder and would be fed bits of Hubby's toast. One time he had Slick on his shoulder and our cat Dakota on the chair arm! Thank you for sharing your 'heart' with us.
