Count Your Blessings

[chachi]

I feel very blessed to have my two. They brighten My day with their silly antics. They just look at me and I melt. I really feel they are a special breed of dogs and I feel bad for people who dont have one. I am all the time saying how I wantt another one and I do but i am just so thankful for the two I have.

Now THAT WAS DEEP and a perfect way to describe it.

Skin kids are great.... but grand skin kids are the greatest.,.
when my 2 year old grandson says Doodah .... I love you sooooo much,. it melts my heart,,, I keep them everyday 3 of them.,.
I have always heard Grandkids are God's reward for not killing your children...
I love my furbabies too,... they are so special and have such an unconditional love for you even when you may be in a bad mood or find paper shredded.,... mine love to do that.,

I can't imagine not having furbabies I have had one of somesort all my life..

I know exactly how you feel. I have three human kids that say im the greatest mom and Me well Im so proud of my children they turned out with the greatest kindest hearts a mother could ever wish for. and Now Being my first year being a Grandma. Theres nothing like it . im in awww with this baby. and then theres my furbabies. My love. I always take their faces in my hands and think what would I do and where would I be with out them. When my human kids all left and moved on their own, all with in the same year.( even thou they all live with in 15 min from me) I was so lost and decided to get My little Mickey and then Minnie. They filled in the spots that I so missed with my children now grown. Im so thankful for all my children, Grandbaby's and my furbabies. I dont have a lot but love I do have. and I know these fur babys thank me for all that I give,you can see it in their eyes the way they wiggle their little stubs in excitement just from just the sound of my voice. But they give me so much more.

I love what you wrote. It's so true and it's exactly how I feel about Teddy and London. I can't imagine myself w/o them, they are like my kids.

Last night while I was washing Cali in the sink, I held her in my hands and realized how helpless and fragile she is and how much she relies on ME for everything. I looked at her tiny delicate paws and her little pink tongue lapping up the water and I silently thanked god for trusting her into my care. Then later on I was brushing Tia's teeth before bedtime and I held her little face in my hands (her tiny little head fits in the palm of my hands), and again I thank god for blessing me with another little angel. And then when we were all in bed, Tia under the covers, Cali on her daddy's chest and Codie snuggled up against my chest with my arms around him, I looked into his dark chestnut eyes and again thanked god for giving Codie to me.

I feel SO BLESSED to have these 3 little angels in my life. I can't imagine not having them and I seriously don't think I could cope if I lost them. I'm still not over losing my precious Yorkie Princess, Katie (rest in peace sweet angel) and I don't think I'll ever really get over it. I think it's just something you learn to accept and deal with but you never fully and truly get over.

Anyway, I just wanted to share how I am feeling today. I've been in a mushy, sappy mood all week (PMSing perhaps? LOL! ).

But seriously, you guys know what I mean ... do you ever have a moment where you feel as if time stands still and everything is right in the world? Well that's how my babies make me feel and it's such an amazing feeling!

Have you been reading my mind? I couldn't have said it better, but it sounds just like what I was thinking last night as Kacee cuddled up to me to go to sleep for the night. I was thanking God for her and thinking the same thing about Muffin as you were Katie. It's a sadness that you learn to live with, but never goes away. I've always been mushy over them and I always will be. They truly are a blessing and one that is so full of love that words cannot fully explain it.

Its funny .. I guess Im a little emotional today myself haha but last night I was sitting on the couch with my babies, I have 2 boys, same liter, brothers. One of them always looks me in the eyes and his eyes are so expressive! My other one never looks me in the eyes. I pick him up and tell him to look at mommy but he won't. EVER! I feel sooo crushed sometimes because I don't feel as connected to him as I do my other one . Then this morning as I was leaving for work, I gated them into the kitchen and i was just talking to them and my little guy looked up at me and held eye contact for about a minute! I couldn't look away, it was like my feet were rooted to the floor! It was such a peaceful moment, like you said suddenly everything was right in MY world! I love my boys (both of them sooo very very much) and my little guy is always on my lap, he sleeps curled up behind my knees or b/t my legs under the covers ALL night and when I pick him up, he curls right up into me like a little baby. But it was the eye contact, that I was craving. He makes me wonder if he does love me. But this morning, it was there! FINALLY!! After 1.5 years I finally felt a connection! My other boy never sleeps on my lap, never sleeps against me at night, hates to be picked up, yet I feel soo connected with him because he looks me straight in the eyes and his expression is just sooooo loving!!

Anyways it was just a great moment this morning and Im glad I found this thread bc I was thinking about this and this is such a great place to post this. My boys got me through the hardest time of my life, when I wanted to give up and they turned me around. Turned my attitude around! Gave me reason to laugh & smile when I couldn't find it in myself. I am sooo attached to them and sooo thankful everyday that I found them. I feel so lucky & blessed to receive this much love! They really do complete me!
