Because his long white
whiskers tickled,
I began every day laughing.

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

LUCKY THE DOG
Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named
'Lucky.'
Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend
visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because
Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would
forget and something would come up missing.
Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure
would be, amid all of Lucky's other favourite toys Lucky always stashed his
finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box.
It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she
was going to die of this disease....in fact; she was just sure it was fatal.
She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night
before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck
her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he
was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary
thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made
her sadder than thinking of her own death.
The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and
Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk
faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.
Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary
was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim
made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.
Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made
Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.
When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She
couldn't move her head and her body f felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave
way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally
blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing
dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all
his favourite things in life.
He had covered her with his love.
Mary forgot about dying. Instead she
and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day.
It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky He still steals
treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest
treasure.
Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God.
And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the
ones with the most Credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the
ones that care for us.
If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply.
Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God
Several people sent me this email - and it's such
a lovely testament to the love, devotion and loyalty of dogs that I just had to
include it.
