What animals can teach us....

Photo #10 on the MSNBC Animal Tracks today was two deer licking a cat who was dying of kidney failure.  The even took place on May 23 and the cat died on May 25. 

Why is it that simple animals can show compassion towards each other and we humans cannot seem to grasp this Holy emotion?

I think this was in the woman's backyard.

What about lion chasing a deer?

Or

The lions fighting each other for domination (usually results in the killing of weaker one)

I had to browse through whole slide. (nice pics btw)

Please click on pic number 10.

I agree, Israfil.  You are so right!

And if I may tell a little "sappy" story here about my dog, Ridge....I have spells during the day when I think of my Dad's critical illness, and it makes me cry.  I just walk around the house with tears pouring down my face.  Not for long, perhaps five minutes.  But during this time Ridge walks right beside me at every step I take.  If I stop and stand still, Ridge leans his head against my knee and looks up at me with his big, brown eyes.  When I'm over my "crying spell", he goes about his own business again.  I KNOW he understands my sadness, and this is the only way he knows to show me he's sorry I'm unhappy.

They do have a 6th sense which we don't possess.  He always knows when my husband is nearing our home.  (And my husband never comes home at the same time.)  But he begins to pace, and then he stands and looks out the window.  Within a minute or two, my husband will come tearing up the driveway in his truck!  (He also does this if someone else is coming which we have no knowledge of.  If he begins to pace and look out the window, we know someone will soon be driving up the driveway to our house.)

God's Peace.
