in the ethereal glow of moonlight that spills through the age-old windows of this mansion, where i, a spirit bound to these halls, have witnessed countless seasons pass, let me share a tale. it's about the unspoken joy dogs bring into our lives, a sentiment so profound yet often remains unuttered. they initiate again the warmth in our hearts just when we thought it lost, teaching us to wave aside our worries with their boundless enthusiasm. in their presence, we engage in a preconsultative practice of happiness, learning anew how to revel in the simple pleasures of life, guided by their unspoken wisdom.
