MY ONE TRUE LOVE MY DOG.

Lately throughout lockdown I have come to appreciate my little dog Lily even more than usual.

Lily gives me such wonderful unconditional love and I know I would be totally lost without her company during lockdown. I have had Lily for just under 5 years now and I would have to say she has brought me happiness beyond compare, even though at first it was challenging raising her from a puppy in my little unit.

Lily has grown into a happy, placid peaceful and affectionate little soul. She loves to show her love to me, by madly kicking my face, particularly if my face is cleansed and moistureised after my shower. She loves lying beside me, touching me in some way and is most at home sharing the couch with me.

I think I would be desperately lonely, living on my own throughout lockdown without Lily. She is unaware of any pandemic, she is just contented that Mummy is around so much. She gives me something good to focus on, and helps me spread a little positivity to the world..

I know in lockdown lots of people have become dog owners and my sincere hope is that all these dogs, continue to be loved family members, when lockdown ends. I worry that we will end up with a glut of rescue dogs, because owners no longer have the time for those dogs. A dog is a big lifetime commitment and responsibility.

Lily will always be loved by me in this life and the next. I think our loved dogs remind us, that God exists because God created these wonderful little creatures to be humankind’s best friend. Lily is definitely my little best friend and I cherish my time spent with her.

I hope all people whom own a dog can appreciate all that these canine creatures bring to our lives.

They truly are little gifts from God.
