Thanks for seeing beyond the obvious. I get all my animal friends from the shelter and they all are too old or abused or not much wanted, but in a few months of nothing but love....kindness and safety and care inmy home, everyone single one ends up just becoming totally loving and as beautiful as they can be.
I love animals way more than most any person, and I thank you for your keen powers of observation. thanks.

These two are a couple of the best things in my life. They are so kind and loving and beautiful as well. I got them from the shelter as always and they were a lucky thing that happened to me. Thanks for the note too and may your life be full of happiness. dennis~~

My cats and dog mean more to me than anything in this world. I'm not saying this to be dramatic but it's the truth. You shoot me and you have to deal with the law and the cops.....You hurt one of my animals and I'll put you in the hospital or end up killing you. I've drawn that line in the sand of society that I'll never allow anyone to hurt them for any reason. My guess is you'll understand what I'm saying.
A girl I help to counsel told me when she broke up with her former b/f he got mad at her of course, and then kicked her little dog so hard he broke it's leg. I finally understand that their are just some things people will not accept...case closed.

thanks.....I just pushed it to "auto" and flash because of the lack of light and didn't get it really in focus because If I did anything to make the slightest sound she would wake up and the shot gone. thanks for the comment.

I staged NOTHING here, and Hanna put this together herself is why I loved it so much....

It's so lovely how much she has progressed, and that's all thanks to you and your kindness.
It's so nice that you love to be clean and keep your things clean also. I wish I could be like that.

Thanks...and I do think that I take great care of animals but also kids or the weak, old or sick as well. I just have this thing inside me that knows what it feels like to be the under-dog and have to depend on something or someone that is letting you down.
I used to depend on my body for so many years because mine was better than almost everyone else's and could do things that others couldn't. Today even my always dependable flesh and bone can't do near what it used to and let's me down everyday.
I'm learning to do things much smarter now in place of the physically over powering a problem, and yet still I long for those days when I could run so fast my hair would flow backwards like the mane of a young colt at full speed.
It's funny how life works, and that we are so many different people throughout our life at many different stages, and I've never ever had it all together at one time. As I try to perfect one area and finally get good at it, Β then things change and we have to work on something else. I wonder what I could have done if I had all things working at once? The physical, mental, emotional, good looks, work ethic, honesty and character, how we treat others, compassion and so forth all play a part and I just keep learning every single day of my life. It seems like I never really get good at this, and when you think you do then it's humility that you need to work on so it never ends.
At times in a way, I wish I was just at those days past when I looked beautiful and made tons of money and thought of nothing else but having fun. I was a rotten human being I guess but I didn't worry about much.
And yes.....being clean and organized makes my mind at ease for some reason and anything that helps me be happy is okay with me.
I keep notebooks with me all the time too and write everything I think of down on a list of "things to do". this list makes me get done twice the things everyone else does and makes me feel like I accomplish things everyday at least.
Okay..off to the store. denn

I love that you care so much for animals, I am the same, I know what it's like to not be loved, so I give as much love as possible to all my pets. I think you are the same.
I'm so glad that you think positively, because if it were me in your place, I wouldn't be able to do anything, I would be so depressed about my life that I wouldn't be able to get out of bed even. But you do loads of stuff, you even have to time to come and reply to me on here. I've told you before, and I'll tell you again, I admire your strength, it's inspiring.

Honey...I thank you for that kindness you extended me with the nice comment. It meant allot to me as I'm a bit down these last few days, so thanks again.
I've endured so much in life, Β and all of it starting with two of the worst parents anyone can have and yet I still move forward everyday for some reason.
I don't know many people that hang on like you and I. With me anyhow...no one knows the pain and suffering inside I've endured, and maybe one day in heaven I may get an award for being a survivor of some small stature.
Maybe it's because I'm so scared of dying I have a death grip on life is one way to look at it. Somehow I fear God won't let me in for some fucking reason that no one will understand. In this life so many things aren't fair and my family life isn't fair so it's just natural to think Heaven will have something unfair about it for me as well.
It's like this: I'm a decorated soldier and yet have to FIGHT for health care and to have the V.A. do anything for me.
All my money was stolen when the Fortune 500 company I worked at filed bankruptcy and 47,000 of us lost everything and for me that was 1.2 million dollars and NOT ONE person cares.
Wall-Street crashes in 2008 and we all lose 1/2 the value of our houses and that was 160,000 dollars lost again.
I'm such a great athlete that I wore my body out winning everything and now I spend so much time in doctors offices that are breaking me financially.
Disastrous, horrible childhood and yet as I crawl on my hands and knees to stay alive and become a success ....again no one cares, and they all think I had it easy in life to have this talent.
I spend my life helping others and then two months later...no one knows you.
Never had a family...almost never have a holiday to celebrate because of no family, never get any gifts ...... and life just beats the absolute spirit out of you until you feel nothing left inside....and yet.....I wake up each day with a plan of making this a good day.
I've done this for so long I don't even remember WHY I do it now. It's become a habit like others have a habit of misery and depression. If anyone in this world thinks it wouldn't be easy for me to just say good-bye cruel world and leave this planet.....they'd be terribly wrong.
I wish.....hope, and I pray that God looks down on both of us with at least some forgiveness and compassion and utters the words.....I was no father to them down their but......but up here they will learn what real love is for just staying the course in all that bleakness.
You're one of the few people in life that understands some of the things I write because they're so much in touch with the love neither of us got. I've battled that all my life and have never found it. You know the secret to my deep affections of the poor, the weak, in-firmed Β or elderly, Β and most especially our animal friends I care for everyday of my life.
My Hanna is old and won't last too much longer, but I worry and feel so deeply about Lucy that will be lost without me. She cries when I'm gone and follows me everywhere without fail.
You've heard me and seen the pictures of her...she's sound asleep at my right elbow this very moment as always and 6 inches away. I'll go watch a movie soon , and she'll be right behind my head on my lounger chair sound asleep waiting to see the next place we go as partners.
God bless my Lucy for such love.Β
Nothing but love and kindness to you as always. denn

You're welcome, I really meant it.
Dennis, you are the most caring and considerate person I know, don't worry about not getting in to heaven, God is looking down on you, proud as anything, because you are the perfect example of the people he wants on his planet.
I agree, it's not been fair for you, or a lot of other people, but things always work out, if not in this life time, God offers forgiveness and everything works out in the end. He has a plan for all of us, and maybe him standing by and watching us suffer is his way of teaching us strength, courage, and resistance.
Your cats sound like such wonderful souls, all you can do is love them as much as you can while they're with you. I find this with my rats. They are so affectionate and loving, and I form such a bond with each one of them, but they have such a short lifespan that they're lucky if they make it to 3 years old. But my love for them carries on even after they've gone. Because they're in a better place than me, and they're just waiting for me to go and join them. I think this every day, to keep me going through the day.

I think of it everyday myself but not so much in a healthy way I guess.
I'm scared of dying....scared of maybe being alone and going by myself on this long journey. It fills me with anxiety not knowing what's going to happen. I sometimes think God is kinda pleased with some things I do and then other times I think some "loophole" or some little thing will pop up and I'll get let out because I didn't do some little thing right.
I mean this really isn't easy for me because I've studied it all and read the whole bible many times, and yet still we say we KNOW the truth while another 3 or 4 BILLION people think something totally different and they say they know the truth too!!
I get upset at times and angry because God should have made some way that all of us would know the correct path and choose to take it or not, but instead we end up with "many so called correct paths."
I don't know....I really don't but I HOPE I know that Jesus is the path, and the proof of that in my life is that I do good and try hard to make this a better world, and do help people, and do as little wrong as I can and never hurt any living things is all I can do. I hope it's enough and if God is about love and forgiveness I think it is, but if he's like what others say or what he acted like many times in the Old Testament and showed his anger and violence then maybe I'm wrong. .... but really, all I can do is have my heart right and pray that's enough.
I hope you say hi when you get there too will ya? I'll be there long before you waiting, and maybe I help take care of you down here sometime if they let me.
I'd be lost without my animals that I love so dearly and gosh they love me too as I can clearly see. Lucy even miss's me when I'm gone for the day working. I get sad that when I die, and if it's before them, they'll end up with no home like I gave them, and never the amount of patience and love they lived with. I can only do so much though, and I can't control the future so I can't let those things worry me too much.
I have a good friend and she says she'll take both of them when i go and she loves animals like no one I ever met, so maybe she will take them. I've learned to never count on anything anyone says really, and just hope they do what they say. A million times I find people are full of trash and lies at what they say, but I can hope.
It's so nice to see someone like you take such good care of any living thing like you do, and bond so well and take care of them. I hope God see's the good heart you have and lends a helping hand in your life soon as well.
May all good things be yours...dennis~
