A Dog's Tale

A Dog's Tale
Having the opportunity to care for an 8 year old dog, and 5 month old puppy at the same time has really enabled me to see life in a whole different light.

Killer, the oldest, an 8rd old Daschund (yes, you heard it, a Daschund name Killer) and his adopted sister, 5 month old Cross Breed, Coconut, have been the centre of my world for the last 3 days.

Through busy days of running around cleaning up their messes, and teaching them how not to mess; to exhausted evenings cuddling together by the fire, ending in some sleepless nights; you cannot help but learn a thing or two from these highly intuitive and highly manipulative little creatures.

They never factor in time to get things done, they simply continue to work at what their goal is until they succeed, or are forced by humans, not to.

They love unconditionally, no matter if you have scolded them, yelled out loud because of them, or accidently step on them because they are always at your feet.

They don't have any resentment.
Just love and kindness.

They trust in you, with all that they have, to care, feed and love them.

Having said this, they also have another side to them.
One of purpose, importance and passion.
With not just a dash, but a spoon or two full of self confidence.

It seems as though these dogs never believe they can fail.
They don't know the meaning of failure.

If they are taken from their current mission, they soon find yet another, "just as important" mission to accomplish.

And so on.

I am hoping to sign a contract to be a dog in my next life.
