While playing with our sweet fur babies, Boomer and Beethoven, I took turns chatting with each one. We have great conversations. Beethoven loves for me to rub his chest and tell him that he is a good boy. Boomer does his usual "paw nudge" so I know to rub his back...repeatedly...and tell him that he is a sweetheart.
As I was playing with Boomer, I lost my balance and fell onto the ground. Thankfully, I didn't fall toward him as he rested. Boomer immediately jumped up and stood in front of me until he knew I was unharmed. Once he noticed I was laughing, he smiled and sat down again.
I began thinking. It is no secret that both of our fur babies are very protective of our family. During tonight's fall, Boomer did not hesitate to jump up and protect me. Oh, how we can learn from these precious dogs. When we see others struggling...falling...or hurting, I wonder how quickly we move to help them. Are we compassionate, involved and loving?
If two sweet dogs can show love, concern and protection for their family, it seems people should do the same for each other. I love sweet lessons from our fur babies.<3~thl
