ANST - Animal/Human bond

[Pamela S Keightley]

St. Francis not only talked to all living creatures adressing them as
Brother and Sister, but also to Fire and Water which he considered one
of them:
 "...we who lived with him were witnesses of his affection and respect
for them and of the pleasure they gave him. He had so much love and
sympathy for them that he was disturbed when they were treated without
respect. He spoke to them with a great inner and outer joy, as if they
had been endowed by God with feeling, intelligence, and speech. Very
often it was for him the occasion to become enraptured in God." So I
guess it is ok to talk affectionately to the Dachshund and cat!
