“I do not mind having imaginary conversations with animals who are part of my life. The comfort of talking to one at a time of personal distress is so soothing because one has the ease of knowing that one's secrets will not be repeated to anyone. Yet there are those who are horrified that an animal can be a more reliable part of one's world than that of the human world.” WorldMindHumansAnimalSecretTalkingKnowingComfortConversationEasePetImaginaryDistressSoothing Author:Derek Tangye
“We were impelled to remain loyal for a while to the memory of Penny. It was a form of the old fashioned custom of going into mourning. It is not a question of going around with a long face. It is just a question of having a pause between the old and the new. No haste to find a substitute for the one who has given you love for years. Wait, and let fate provide the answer.” YearsLongFacesFormGivenWaitingMemoriesAnswersFateMourningPetCustomsSubstitutesLoyalPausesOld FashionedPenniesHaste Author:Derek Tangye
