Care to Listen
Come into your animal’s world and let me help you hear what they want you to know.
Animals have a lot to share when given the chance, from the reasons why they have that sweet, or not so sweet, unique behavioural quirk, to how they feel about the other animals sharing their home.
They would like you to know how their body feels to them and where they might ache or have pain, and of the choices they would make for themselves, if given that choice when their end of life-time comes to them.
They would like you to know their reasons for coming into your life in the first place, and of their wants and needs, that you would want for them too if you knew, because you love them.
You know there is more to that being behind those eyes.
Come into their world so they can share with you who they really are.
Lots of people talk to animals, said Pooh.
Not that many listen though. That's the problem.
