Daily Question, October 9

What are the gifts that I have received from loved ones today?

  • Lee Anne
    My loved ones, close friends and family, are gone. No one is left. However, when I take my walk this morning, I will meet the doggies and their owners. While the human parents are nice enough, the dogs are the ones who will greet me with their soul-filled eyes, sniff and lick my hands. They are Oberon, June, Skye, Winkle, Hunk, Ella, Henry, and Bubba. Oh, there are more dogs but I may not meet up with them all today. The blessings of petting and hugging these wonderful canines are equal to a hug...

The blessings of petting and hugging these wonderful canines are equal to a hug from those once close to me who now reside in my heart. My beloved feline, Abbey, lies next to me as I write and she is my joy, my constant companion from whom I receive gifts many times a day. Just watching Abbey while she sleeps is a cherished gift. 🐾🐾💓

      I learned all of my neighbor’s dogs’ names before I learned my neighbor’s names…. Luna, Libby, Jo, etc… were the ambassadors. Dogs are always first to greet with their wet noses! Sometimes I have to tell the dogs, “no French kissing on a first date, please” Lol. I’m glad you have your Abbey with you.

      • Lee Anne

        Thank you, Holly. I do have a hard time remembering the owners’ names but I know each dog’s. A new one was introduced to me today and he is a shorthaired Daschund puppy named Gus ( actually Augustus) but his human parents call him Gus. He is a lover! 🥰

    • Mary Pat

      OH! So true…..I know just how you feel about that…..

  • Dusty Su

    Friendly messages, a Skype call. All good on a beautiful sunny day and a walk at the beach.

  • Kevin

    Today’s question assumes that I am at the end of my day looking back. But my day has barely begun. So, I’ll simple say that I receive unwavering love from the people that I love, and I take joy in returning that love in kind.

    I got some snuggles with our dog. That’s it so far for 5am! As Christine said, the day is young! May we all have a happy, peaceful day.

    • Kevin

      “Dog time” is the best! As of this early hour our dog Gracie hasn’t come down the stairs yet in order to go out and pee. She’s blind, but navigates the stairs and other household “obstacles with ease, walks into my home office to say hello, goes out to piddle, walks back in, heads up the stairs and back to bed!

      • sunnypatti

        I love how dogs are so resilient. And so humble about it as well! Dog time (and cat time) is truly a blessing. I went all of my adult life without a dog of my own until my husband & I got together, and it was definitely a piece of the puzzle that I was happy to find 🙂

        • Kevin

          First thing my wife and I did when we got married was to get a puppy. We’ve had dogs ever since. I don’t think that I ever want to live and not have a dog in my life. Cats too, we have and love, but nothing takes the place of a dog in my view.

      • Lauryn

        **and cat time too!

        • sunnypatti

          Oh yes! Cat time is important as well, although my little old man does not want snuggles in the morning… only food! My little old man does not want to snuggle in the morning. He only wants to EAT!

  • Christine

    Nothing received yet, but the day is still young. What I can do, is give you some…….. I wish you a nice day with love and light, fresh air, beauty to see and harmony to experience.
    Love from Christine 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
