Happy Friendship Friday!
A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

Yes, we have two dogs at home. They are great stress relievers and we treat them as if they are really part of the family. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Hugo and Roxanne,
ReplyDeleteWe have no pet now. Daniel had three great fiends-Lad,Sandy and Frosty. Some of the stories that he can tell about the loving dogs. Some are bust your gut laughing stories, some are sad stories. They meant a lot to him. He grew up on a dairy farm. They dogs were not the only animals that he found comforting. They had one really big cow that they called Hog, that he would get up on her back as he would bring the cows in-he would fall asleep on her back. So the cows brought themselves in because he was asleep. They were good animals that he cared for a lot. With the lose of his Mother and brother at a young age, sometimes he turned to the animals for the kindness and love that he needed.
Thank you for friendship day. Have a good day.
