Too bad humans haven't progressed this far..........

This is pretty remarkable!!

If you don't already think animals are far more spiritually advanced than we humans, think again. Stuart Brown describes Norbert Rosing's striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilds of Canada 's Hudson Bay .















The photographer was sure that he was going to see the end of his dogs when the polar bear wandered in, but







The Polar Bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs..


May you always have love to share

PUPPY SIZE



This is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear.


You
will know precisely what this little girl is talking about at
the end.

"Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again.








We've been back to this animal shelter at least five times.



It has been weeks now since we started all of this,"
the mother told the volunteer.



"What is it she keeps asking for?" the volunteer asked.



"Puppy size!" replied the mother.








'Well, we have plenty of puppies,
if that's what she's looking for.




"I know...... We have seen most of them,"
the mom said in frustration...

Just then Danielle came walking into the office

"Well, did you find one?" asked her mom.




"No, not this time," Danielle said with sadness
in her voice.




"Can we come back on
the weekend?"



The two women looked at each other, shook
their heads and laughed.




"You never know
when we will get more dogs.





Unfortunately, there's
always a supply," the volunteer said.






Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to
the door. "Don't worry, I'll find one this weekend," she said.






Over the next few days both Mom and Dad had long
conversations with her.


They both felt she was being
too particular.


"It's this weekend or we're not looking
any more," Dad finally said in frustration.





"We don't want to hear anything more about
puppy size, either," Mom added.



Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter
on Saturday morning.



By now Danielle knew her
way around, so she ran right for the section that
housed the smaller dogs.


Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room
at the end of the first row of cages.


There was an
observation window so you could see the animals
during times when visitors weren't permitted.





Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage,
kneeling periodically to take a closer look.



One by one the dogs were brought out and
she held each one.


One by one she said,
"Sorry, but you're not the one.



It was the last cage on this last day in search
of the perfect pup.


The volunteer opened the cage door and the child
carefully picked up the dog and held it closely.


This time she took a little longer.



"Mom, that's it! I found the right puppy!
He's the one! I know it!"
She screamed with joy.



"It's the puppy size!"



'But it's the same size as all the other puppies
you held over the last few weeks,' Mom said.



'No not size... The sighs.



When I held him in my arms,
he sighed,' she said.



'Don't you remember?
When I asked you one day what love is, you told me
love depends on the sighs of your heart.


the more you love, the bigger the sigh!'

The two women looked at each other for a moment.


Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry.


As she
stooped down to hug her child, she did a little of both.



'Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh.


When you and Daddy
come home from work and hug each other, you both sigh.


I
knew I would find the right puppy if it sighed when I held it
in my arms,' she said.



Then, holding the puppy up close to her face, she said,
'Mom, he loves me.


I heard the sighs of his heart!'



Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love
that makes you sigh.


They are the sighs of God.

Take the time to stop
and listen; you will be surprised at what you hear.

'Life is not measured by the breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Hope your life is filled with Sighs!!!
