I have had moments on the living room floor, balling my eyes out, curled in a fetal position- and who surrounded me with TOTAL acceptance but- my dogs.  They will lovingly lick my tears away.  They will curl their body against mine as it shivers.  They  will cock their heads as I tell them my woes.  I never have to hold back with them. I know without a doubt, I will be loved and accepted even in my weakest moments.  This is the divine gift of having a dog in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful who to share these vulnerable moments with.  Only give it to someone that can hold you- metaphorically or actually.  Give this gift of yourself to someone that can be  1. Patient with you  2. Accepting of you.  3.  loving with you  4. on your side.<\/p>\n<p>It is a precious gift to be able to be vulnerable with someone.  Treat it as gold. Only those that can hold this dear special place for you-deserve it.
