So very special! Thank you for this piece. What a joy Sandy is. And what a huge compliment to garner that sort of devoted attention from such a sweet soul!
I have too many examples of how my animals have healed me. I don't know where I would be without my animals. From horses being my escape from a difficult family life as a kid. To dogs helping me through my parents divorce and making sense of the world. To guinea pigs reminding me to be a child and experience joy.
And as for the healing the late Princess Jasper and current Zac (the dickhead) have given me... words can not describe. Suffice to say, I would not be the person I am today without my animals!
