We all need a little exercise, even our pets. God did not create us to be idle creatures. No, he wants us to keep our bodies in shape so we can serve Him better. This means we need to get up and move about and what better way then to walk your dog. If you have a cat sorry but you’ll have to get out and walk on your own unless your cat follows you around the neighborhood. The key however is to just walk.
In an earlier post I wrote about all the cats and dogs I had in my lifetime. One thing I forgot to me was all the work I put into raising my four legged friends. I devoted a good many hours taking care of each pet. Some more than others. Pets are not something you can bring home and let them be, they must be cared for and loved. Even when you go away you must provide provisional care for them. So if you do not feel you put the time and care into taking care of a pet please do not adopt them. What does this all mean for you as a Christian, well if you need to put all the time and effort in your four legged relationships think about what it takes to maintain one with your human friends.
Millions of Americans love their pets. They spend billions of dollars each year taking care of their pet’s needs. In my lifetime I have had many pets. Most of the pets I owned were cats or should I say I was the cats personal care giver instead? Every cat that has graced my home has had a unique personality but have all had one thing in common, their attachment me. Cats show love differently then do dogs.
The dogs I have owned are always there when I open the door, wagging their tails with what looks like a grin on their faces. Cats love by gracing you with their presence every once in a while or letting you know they need something like food or their litter box changed. I currently don’t have any pets but would love to get another cat someday. My drawing entitled, “A Wizard and His Dragon. is dedicated to all pet owners out there no matter what the type of pet you have. I hope you like the drawing.
