This
web page is in honor of the play in all of us. Check this page when you
need a laugh, to bring a smile to your face, when depression is kicking
your butt, or when you're tired and need a pick me up, Come here when
fund raising is slow and you need renewed hope, when you wonder what our
service dogs looked like before they go to their homes, when you need a
fix of puppy cuteness, when the day is too long and you need a way to
get through it. Come here to see the puppies at play and the big dogs
having fun. There is nothing more contagious than the playful enthusiasm
gained from watching our furry friends doing life with far more ease
then we could ever find. Come when you too know our furry friends are
higher on the spiritual realm than us humans and we can learn from them.
After all, God put them in our lives for a reason and when the day came
to name them He said "you shall be named in my honor" Man will look in
your eyes to learn about me so I name you dog, my own name spelled
backward. Go out and in your holy life, lived just as I ask of all my
creations, help man, that they might also learn to live according to my
word, In selflessness and acceptance which signifies the dog's character
to a "T". ~Karen |
