Dear Laura,
I definitely want to hear what your posse has to say about the way animals view love.
Sincerely, Julia

Dear Julia,
This should be very interesting.
Makia (pure white cat who lost her voice for a whole year while keeping my ex-husbands secrets): “Love is being awake when others are speaking to you. Love makes your lungs cleaner and your mind less worried.”
Joey (my oldest cat): “Love is understanding that when one hurts another with hisses or swats it may not be because of hate it may be because there is an old memory involved”

Serafina (5 year old cat who I found in the woods starving): “Love is the knowledge that when you are lonely the sky will take care of you. I also feel that our family is made up of love. It is also being content on the front porch when there was a time that you only felt safe in the back yard.”

Maia (12 year old wolf-hybrid): “Love is caring when everyone else turns away and love is seeing the very best inside even though the worst is happening.”
Stormy (Aussie who I picked out when he was two days old so I could keep his tail): “Love is looking someone in the eyes and telling them they are beautiful and kind. It is also when my mom and I dance around the living room. We do this in private because it is so much fun.”
