Human/Animal Bond

The human/animal bond will always be something that amazes me. Working with animals every day allows me to see this up close. The affection an animal holds for it's owner and vise versa is simply something special. We had another euthanasia today, the absolute worst part of my job, a golden retriever with cancer....every part of me ached for them...I've been there. I sit here in tears remembering my Sage. She was the most loyal dog you could ask for. She knew I'd saved her and the love she showed was completely unconditional. I know have another golden, Cassia, who shows this same love and devotion. I've often compared this love in my mind to the love Abba has for us and what we should have for him, he did save us after all. Now that can be a challenge as we all now, but it is never a challenge for our Great Big God. As I'm tossed by the storms raging in my life I feel as though God has manifested his love for us in the creatures He has placed in our care. I am so thankful for them. I think I'll go hug a puppy, the absolute best part of my job.

Exhausted is not even the word for what I'm feeling...

So I have been totally overwhelmed by this weekend... Tomorrow will be my first time leading the Auxiliary...I am truely humbled by being a part of this group let alone being President. I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to sit down and even begin to say what I'm feeling and yet it seems to come tumbling out of me a the strangest times. I get to speak again tomorrow at the convention. I am excited but almost too exhausted to care. I twittered that exhausted does not begin to cover how I'm feeling right now and I still have to put on a suit and high heels and do it one more day. A few hours and things go back to the relative normal. We'll see what the week brings. Sleep is way past due for this body.
