I love dogs. I think they're all adorable. I was 7 when i had my first dog. His name was Angelo, Anggo for short. He died when i was 20, still in College and He was 13 years old. It broke my heart. And vowed never to have another dog again. For every dog owners reading this, you know exactly what i mean and what every dog parents go through each time our four legged brother/sister or son/daughter passes away. It is hard. More than hard. Painstaking.
I don't understand why dogs live such a short life. That ain't right.
November of 2007, just driving after a coffee date with my then boyfriend - we always make sure at least twice a month to visit this pet shop. We have no intention of getting a pet cos we don't have a place yet and we're in the middle of planning our wedding, so having a dog is out of the plan and I don't think I will be ready for one. But when we saw these pack of wrestling puppy boxers, we knew the idea of parenting one became solid in our minds. Oh, they're so cute and such rascals. Once the owner of the shop opened their cage Koffy jumped to me. He was barely a month old, heavy and very warm. He hugged me and he kinda put his head over my chest and smelled me. He's our boy. He wouldn't let us pet his brothers or he would go ballistic. Koffy's very jealous. And so we took him home that same day. And everything became more nice, beautiful and fun between me and my husband. Honestly I thought the stress and challenge of raising a dog could break us but Koffy brought us more closer together.
Believe me, raising a dog is a bit harder than it looks. It is messy, tiring and it will alter your life in so many ways possible. Don't worry the messy part is just on the first 6 months, but the joy and love they bring into your home is more than sufficient to compensate every morning/nights of walks and scooping poops.
With Koffy, am never alone. When he looks at me like that, i just can't say no to what he wants. So later this afternoon, the 3 of us will go on a coffee date. Just the usual, nothing fancy.
So do you have a pet? A dog, cat, bird, snake, or fish? I bet they're the most adorable thing in the world. And i believe, pet owners are the kindest, sweetest, warmest people on earth. Am i right or am i right?
Have a great weekend everyone.
