God in His infinitely wise creativity has given us four-legged companions to help us along on our pilgrimage through life. These companions are absolutely amazing. Even though they and we speak different languages, I have learned over the years that it is not difficult to understand them, all it takes is time and patience, and we soon can know them almost as well as they so obviously know us. Thank you, God, for showing us your love through all of creation!
