Over the years we meet and get to know many whom we deem amazing. That includes non-human creatures that we have accepted into our lives. They bring comfort and solace at times when we need it in addition to playfulness and laughs. So it is with me and fortunately, I have documented and taken photographs of many of them.
Creatures that we call pets probably understand us better than we do, and their lives are simple. They do not go on Facebook or TikTok or in chatrooms. They live for and in the day that they find themselves. There is no equivocation or conditions attached to their love of us. They are there for us. This is what life is: Today is all we have and no guarantee of anything else.
Enjoy each moment of each day you are here and share it with another creature who accepts you as you are! Smile and keep breathing. Life is good, and we are here. And so are they!
