Lovely post and I completely relate to the connection with animals as they do make life special and teach us many things. My dog companion is such a joy to be around, and such a faithful friend.

I also recently got a complement about my front garden - an old couple wandered by stopping to look at the flowers and then said to me as they passed (I was weeding) that my garden was only one of a few in the neighborhood where they still see bees. That made me happy as I do make a special effort to grow flowers and plants that attract bees, birds, and butterflies. But it also made me sad to realize that many people do not bother to grow plants with our fellow creatures in mind.

Thank you, Jackeroo, and for sharing your story. I love that you have such a beautiful companionship with your fellow friend. I love that you grow flowers for the bees! This is so wonderful and so important as every helping (human) hand and kindness is appreciated by Mother Nature. She gives back to us in abundance and in so many different ways. As you say, it's about noticing, appreciating and helping. Have a wonderful Nature-filled weekend with your dog which sounds so lovely.
