As I was reading through the holiday posts and the fuzzies that passed away on Christmas Day, my heart went out to the humans who suffered the loss of their animal companions. How unfair, I thought. Why this day? Why Christmas day? Then I realized that their must be a divine reason. I've shared this with some of you privately but wish to share this with everyone should they ever experience this in the future. Through the pain of your loss, try to see their passing as receiving the ultimate gift. The gift of eternal life, free from pain and suffering. There is solace in that concept. I read on of the rescues that took ferrets in Christmas day. This too is the ultimate gift. To be in a position to give a little life a second chance. I can't imagine what a cold heart it must take to dispose of your animal on Christmas day, ut I sincerely hope that the rescuers that took in these babies realize what a special gift they shared.
