4 years ago, I wouldn't have considered myself "an animal person". Yes , I had pets growing up,, but I also had a phobia with cats. I faced that phobia 10 years ago and became "mam" to 2 cats. Every day is a struggle, but we have a relationship. Then just over 4 years ago, we welcomed Dobby into our lives. A reluctant welcome on my behalf, but boy did I fall in love with this handsome fella! Slowly, he won me over until my every minute is filled with him. I love him and know he loves me! It's as simple as that.
Despite any other worries in our life, my boy has always been there and gave us a new lease of life. Walking him across the beach at 7:00am, blows away the cobwebs for me, but gives him and me so much joy. A match made in heaven.
Now we are facing life without him, he was diagonsed with a heart condition last week and if tears were money, we would be zillionaires!
My boy is defying the odds at the moment, but I will never underestimate his love to me and my love to him, and the value he has given to my life. If you are lucky to be a parent to a pet, please value your time together, we parents are so lucky !
