Normally it would be Alfie sending you a Christmas message, but he\u2019s taking a few days off so I just hope I\u2019m up to the job he\u2019s given me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma\u2019s Christmas Message to Dogs and Humans Far and Near<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of us really knows the load another dog or person is carrying. If a kind word or a gentle lick from you can go some way to help, then it is more valuable than any present you might give. If a word of encouragement can help another to tackle a problem that seems too hard, it will cost you nothing and yet provide them with riches. It doesn\u2019t matter if we are a millionaire or have nothing, we can all afford kind words and consideration for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is a stressful time and it\u2019s all too easy, in the tiredness and hassle of it all, to forget that those around you may be having a harder time than you are. Take time today, and every day to think of how you can improve the lives of those around you. I can guarantee that if you do that you will find a little of the Christmas magic comes your way every day as you find that in doing and saying those little things your life will seem lighter and easier too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world has many many problems, but the good news is that you don\u2019t need to be one of them. Oh you might pull on the lead now and then, however taking the time to think about others and show them you care might seem like a little thing, but it will actually make a very big difference. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone did that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that\u2019s my message \u2013 take time today for a kind word and a loving lick to all around you, not just to those you\u2019re close to, but to the Jack Russells and the Pugs, the Spaniels and the mongrels and even the cat down the road that really winds you up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Christmas to you all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love from<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma and of course Alfie, Aristotle and Shadow as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
