There’s nothing easier than loving your pet.
It’s as effortless as breathing. You’re the kind of pet parent who doesn’t take your baby for granted (there’s no such thing as too-spoiled in your book). Organic treats? Check. Birthday parties? Check. Custom clothing, Tempur-Pedic bed, more toys than they know what to do with? Of course! I bet you take better care of your best friend than yourself (honestly? same).
Your relationship with your loyal sidekick is one of the things (if not THE thing) you love most about your life. You tear up just thinking about what they mean to you—you’re that grateful. When you already know how much you value them, your focus naturally shifts to celebrating your life together.
How do you deepen your bond? How do you give as good as you get? How do you ensure your pet has the best life possible and optimize your precious time with each other?
“When we get a pet, we are automatically their caregivers for life. Like children, we take care of them, keep them safe, feed them, and tend to their well-being. They are our responsibility.”
— Louise Hay
Celebrating your remarkable relationship begins and ends with Presence.
Like any loved one, when you’re with your baby, you’re really with them. Time spent with your pet carries as much importance as any of life’s “big” events—and so the practice is not to overlook or miss these simple, yet profound, moments (which, unfortunately, is all too easy in this age of distraction).
Maybe you want to understand them better, like why they keep doing that weird thing with your slippers or how they really feel about their new brother. Maybe you want to learn different ways to help them live a longer, higher-quality life, beyond what you’re already doing (which is a lot). To take your relationship to the next level, you can explore things like intuitive animal communication and animal healing methods (e.g., reiki).
A Touch of Moxy has collected some resources around these and other related topics for you to consider.
Through expanding your experience of what’s possible, your connection with your pet is not only honored, but also strengthened. Sharing unconditional love and joy with them is the sweetest part of life—there’s no higher purpose.
May you and your sweet pea be in continual celebration of being brought together and find new opportunities every day to grow your beautiful bond.
“Love is the spiritual fire that we all share, and that we give abundantly and freely to one another. I believe the power of love allows us to transcend our usual earthly tethers and connections, and to commune with one another on a spiritual level. Every member of the animal kingdom—humans, whales, monkeys, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, and on and on—joined together on a transcendent spiritual plane. Powered by love. The love we share with our animal companions.”
— Dr. Marty Goldstein
