Dog Lovers

There was someone who said that dog lovers are just essentially self-centred bastards (he put it in more polite terms). Which I must agree to a certain extend.

I bought a huge poster during my University days from SPCA. It features a gorgerous golden retriver, captions: To you, he is a dog but to him you are everything...

I have a dog. Not brilliant, naughty, totally out of my control. She is really not much of a looker ,especially when one can compare her to my previous dog. I always tell Lucky ( my previous dog) that he is the best dog on Earth. To me, he is. Still is. But despite all Wan Wan's shortcoming, I love her too. Even when she is not the best dog on Earth I love her.

To be frank, I feel gulity towards Wan Wan. Sometimes I feel like writing a hate letter to myself. She is my dog. I say I love her yet she is not totally under my care. I am often away. When I am in Singapore, I am constantly not at home too. When I am at home, she is normally not the centre of my attention too.

But I am always hers. I usually stay awake til wee hours when I am around then sleep til evening. She will usually feel sleepy during these wee hours but she will force herself to laze around me. And during the day, she will watch over me under my bed, patiently waiting for me to wake up.

Therefore can you blame me for loving her? You see her shortcomings , I see her love...
