Some People Have Love for Everyone, Even Through Sadness

I recently became acquainted with a woman who is traveling down a long road of sadness in her life. In addition to losing her spouse, she recently lost her long time and faithful companion and pet, and her recent rescue dog has just endured surgery to remove his left eye due to glaucoma; which in itself is bad, but this poor dog had already lost his right eye to the same disease about a year ago.
I know from a family experience that losing an eye is one of the most painful ordeals to experience. This poor animal is having to endure this excruciating recovery twice. His poor owner is having to deal with her companion reliving this brutal invasive procedure, twice. What heart wrenching dedication and love she is exhibiting.
Currently this caring and incredible woman is helping her pet to the road to recovery and healing, learning to live with no sight at all. I am sure she could use some Divine assistance if anyone would like to send up some prayers. Luckily, this pet has been living in this home for almost two years and is no doubt familiar with the surroundings and the smells, so moving around his home shouldn’t be too difficult. I wonder if the loss of one sense heightens the remaining senses in pets as supposedly happens in humans?

One thing is for sure, animals must have complete love and trust in their caretaker to overcome the fear and anxiety of becoming blind and going on to live a happy and “normal” life. Knowing what I do about the dedication of this woman, this is a match made in heaven. It’s amazing how some people can be so absolutely wonderful when all along they have every right to be completely miserable.
