The last couple of days I have been a bit emotional. It really has nothing to do with Sadie being sick, just every day life gets overwhelming at times. When I am stressed, or sad, or angry, there is always one "person" I can turn to. One "person" who no matter what, isn't looking for me to do their laundry, make them food, tie their shoes, dive them here, there and everywhere. One "person" who is looking for nothing more than my attention. My Love. That's Sadie. She is always here to greet me with a happy face, a smile even. Her wagging stubby bum. It's like she knows. There is something to be said about the love affair between a dog and it's "master". It doesn't falter. I am coming to realize in my days of being so frustrated with my duties as Sadie's "master", that the frustration isn't worth the energy I am expelling being frustrated. I know my dog doesn't want to pee on my floor. In fact, I would guess if she could express how she feels, she would tell me she is humiliated. Imagine if we were all capable of the unconditional love that a dog gives us. I would bet the world would be a better place if so!
" He is your friend, your partner,
your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will
be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat
of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of
such devotion." Author Unknown
I owe it to my dog in the days, weeks, months to come, to be a better master. Time to stop sweating the little things, and keep on living while we still can!
