Quote:
“Everyday for Lucy’s entire dog life Jane had sliced a banana for breakfast and had miraculously dropped one of the perfect disks on to the floor where it sat for an instant before being gobbled up. Every morning Lucy’s prayers were answered, confirming her belief that God was old and clumsy and smelt like roses and lived in the kitchen.
But no more.
Lucy knew her God was dead. And she now knew the miracle wasn’t the banana, it was the hand that offered the banana.”

I love this passage from Still Life. Louise is an animal lover and has shared photos and stories of her Goldens throughout the years. Even without knowing that, it’s obvious that the author of the Three Pines series loves animals, with the way she has highlighted aspects of the special bond between a dog and his/her human. Because I also love animals, I find these passages very touching and can both relate strongly with and greatly appreciate Louise’s writing.

I couldn’t agree more. I often use how people respond to animals as a predictor of who that person really is. We can learn so much from animals if we just take the time to watch them – to connect to them. Louise does such a wonderful job of infusing animals into her stories. I find it not only endearing but for me it makes the stories so much more realistic.
Thanks for sharing this lovely quote.
Yes I agree with you completely, Libby. People who are kind to animals are my kind of people. People who love their fur babies and “spoil” them, well, we can be best friends. And yes, animals are so intelligent, and they can communicate with us in many different ways, if we watch, listen and learn. I’m so happy to learn that so many friends here have or have had cats and dogs in their families.
