/24-7PressRelease.com/ - Argyle, TX, May 20, 2005 - When seeking advice on making important life decisions, people often turn to trusted teachers, parents, grandparents or mentors.But are they overlooking a significant source of four-footed inspiration curled up at the foot of the bed?
In today's complex, impersonal, and industrialized society, you can learn not only from elderly humans, but also from older animal companions, with whom you share your life and homes.
"Through observation of and caring for your aging pets, you can discover many of life's most important and profound lessons," says Dr. Diane Pomerance, nationally known pet expert and author of "Animal Elders: Caring About Our Aging Animal Companions" (Polaire Publications, $9.95, http://www.AnimalCompanionsAndTheirPeople.com).
Certified as a Grief Recovery Specialist, Dr. Pomerance has a special interest in helping those who are mourning the loss of a beloved companion animal. She is the creator and director of the Pet Grief Counseling Program for the SPCA of Texas and is the author of several books and numerous articles about pets.
Here Dr. Pomerance shares four of the many things you can learn from your aging pet:
1.
How to face life's challenges including growing old, with its accompanying problems
and perplexities.
2.
Loyalty and commitment to family and community.
3.
Perseverance and the determination to "Keep on Keeping On."
4.
The importance of a life lived in harmony and balance with the whole of creation.
"Our animals can teach us so much about ourselves and our lives, once we learn to attune
to their wisdom," says Dr. Pomerance.
That is why it is important that as your pet ages you reward them by cherishing, protecting and respecting them. They very well may serve as the catalyst that helps you embark upon a spiritual and philosophical journey through which you uncover some of life's mysteries and begin to grow in wisdom, understanding, compassion, and love.
