All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all
This site is dedicated to the precious companion animals that have shared their lives with me. Big and small, 4-legged and 2-winged, each has left an indelible mark on my heart and soul. The pages speak of joy and laughter, tears and heartache, worries and anxieties, peace and contentment but most of all, of the unconditional love that only these "lesser" of God's creation bring into my life. It is not without self-recrimination for each time I've failed to acknowledge how precious the lives of each of these pets are -- and how short the time they are on earth. I am filled with wonder and overwhelming gratitude that they love us, not because of -- but in spite of -- who we are.
The common thread running through these pages is the love, grace and mercy of God in bringing the right companion into my life at just the right time. It is about watching miracles unfold through heartfelt prayer, about yielding to the all-knowing, all-powerful Creator when the voices of earthly reason don't correspond with our God-given inspiration.
It is without apology to anyone who might read this that I write our stories; without apology for the beliefs expressed or for the emotions and sentiments flowing through the pages. This is our story: Bev - Jello - Misty - Dancer - Happy - Sunny - Al - Neea-Kha - Winnie - and Kit-Kat, a tough, street-wise stray who allowed me to befriend him and finally, Oscar -- another stray with a very different story.
