Gratitude For Dogs and Cats

“Here’s Something To Feel Good About!”

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Anatole France

When I was a child my dad told me I had “animal blood.” It seemed that all kinds of stray animals were attracted to me, and as a result, we always had a family pet in our house.

Throughout my life, I have had my share of both dogs and cats and because humans are destined to outlive them, I have had my share of heartache and heartbreak when they pass on…Still I would not trade any of my animal experiences for anything. To me a home is not complete without beloved animals… Thankfully my husband feels the same way.

Today I have several cats and when anyone asks me why I have more than one, I simply smile because I know anyone who asks that question just doesn’t know the joy that animals add to our lives when we allow them into our hearts.

If you want to share a PawPrints story about an animal that has enriched your life. Please read our story guidelines and send it to me handprintsstories@gmail.com. If it’s approved, I would love to share it with others on our website and later in a PawPrints On My Heart book.

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
