Keeping the dream alive.

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 wothy of such devotion.

Within the past 5 months..never before has a pet affected me in such a way as ginger has. Made changes in my sleeping cycle for her. And it may seem weird, but the fact is...i am her leader. and prolly the love of her life..because i'm the hand that feeds her..and she recognises that fact as well..with her thrusting titles such as "You are his life, his love, his leader", it makes you want to protect her from every single boo-boo that comes her way..and it's also through her that you learn that 'to be a leader, you must first learn to serve.' Serve in areas such as picking her poo-poo and clearing her pee-pee..you realised that she's dependent on you for EVERYTHING. from her everyday meals to her weekly bathes...she trusts you to ensure that she's free from fleas and ticks..and that you'll be home to feed her dinner..because there's no way she's able to prepare dinner for herself..nyeh.
i may not be the best leader now..and i do make mistakes..but she forgives me within 5mins of MY boo-boo..
sheese...
i love ginger.
the hyperactively friendly dog who managed to worm her way thru the innermost recesses of my heart in superquick time.
