#ShareGratitude for Petal

Posted on by

It’s the last day of the Share Gratitude blog hop and I want to share my gratitude for a certain little fox collie.

Where do I begin?

Petal, you make me smile every single day. You motivate me and you inspire me. You’ve helped me during my times of grief. I don’t think I could ask for a better therapist. I remember around this time last year, when the pain of losing Lassie was still very fresh, I looked down at you, sleeping by my side and was overwhelmed with gratitude that you were there. I really feel that no other dog could’ve helped me during that time. You’re the only dog up for such a task.

I’m grateful for our strong bond and that, while I feel it’s about as strong as the bond I had with Lassie, it’s so completely different from the bond I had with Lassie.

I’m grateful you’re such a goofy and happy girl. I’m grateful for your loyalty and love and your patience.

Thank you for being your sweet and sassy self.
