Conversation between me and Snowy

After a hard day's work, this is the conversation I have between me and Snowy:

Snowy: Mummy, how are you today? (just by looking at me and wagging his tail)

Sandy: Boy, what do you want? What have you been up to?

Snowy: Mummy, I miss you so much today! How come you were out so long? (still wagging his tail)

Sandy: Boy, you got miss mummy? Mummy miss you so much today!

Snowy: Mummy, can you rub my tummy please? (lie on his back on the floor waiting for his tummy rub)

It may seem pretty silly that I am actually talking to my dog. Sometimes people think, how is it possible to be talking to your pet? But I'm sure for those of you who does, you know that your pet can really understands what you are saying! And it is true, they really do want you to talk to them, though they may not understand a single word you say. Well, may be not all words but sometimes I feel that I can have a much more meaningful conversation with Snowy than with real human beings because he really sits or lie there to listen to me.

We have so many things going on daily and when we are communicating with others, do we really stop to listen to what they are saying? I know I don't. When my friends talk to me about something, my mind can wonder off elsewhere.

Our pets are actually more human than we think! Therefore, respect them as you wish to be respected!

Till next post! Ciao...

What I have Learnt Through Snowy!

Snowy is going to be 7 years old by end of this year! He came into my life when he was 1 and a half years old. He never fails to make me laugh everyday and when I'm really stress out, one look at him and it will make my stress go away! That's how amazing having a pet can be!

His not just a dog, he is more human than any human being I know. He laughs with me and cries with me in his own ways! He knows how to cheer me up when I'm down. He knows how to encourage me to soldier on when I'm down. Above all, he taught me how to love unconditionally! I know I may not be the best pet owner, but he never fails to show his affection towards me when I return home after I've been out. My mum says, "when you are not at home, he just don't seem to be able to get his eyes of the front door, just waiting patiently for you to return home!" Hmm...I don't think we, humans are able to do something like that as we have so many things going on in our lives.

Over the past year, I've been through some really depressing time and Snowy was there for me through out that period. I actually have thoughts of ending my life but because of Snowy, I was able to hold myself up again. I know that I am responsible to take care of him for the rest of his life! And that's a commitment I will hold through to my heart...
