Читать книгу Carving & Painting Adorable Animals in Wood - Desiree Hajny - Страница 4

Through my adult life, I have had the pleasure of having some very special four-legged friends be part of these years. I enjoyed the time with each, but they all also served to teach me some important values:

To Buster, our first dog. He was small in stature but very stubborn. I have always tried to apply this same attitude of stubbornness in achieving the goals I was trying to attain.

To Taffy, a beautiful dog whom we rescued from a shelter. Taffy had been abused, and it took a long time for us to gain her trust. I learned a sense of patience from her and to try to give people a second chance.

To Dottie, our wonderful, amazing dog that adopted us. Dottie had the heart of a lion, and although she had some tough years before deciding to pick us, she lived to the age of almost twenty. I learned to have a bit of tenacity in all aspects of my life, just as she did.

To Norbert, our red-footed forest tortoise. Norbert moved slowly but with a purpose. He taught us patience, not to tackle things in a rash manner, and to enjoy the very simple things in life.

They were all wonderful, important members of our family. They taught us so much, we loved each dearly, and we think of them often.
