That's so very true. I can be in the most down or depressed mood, and then watch them playing or running to greet their daddy, and my spirits are just lifted.

The poem is very sad, and some may not like it because of that, but I think for me it makes me even more thankful to see my happy pets, and to remember not all have happy lives. I spend a quiet moment and send out a prayer for those creatures who live their lives unloved.
