Words from "Marley and Me".

Was it possible for a dog - any dog, but especially a nutty, wildly uncontrollable one like ours - to point to humans to the things that really mattered in life? I believed it was. Loyalty. Courage. Devotion. Simplicity. Joy. And the things that did not matter, too. A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbols mean nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their colour or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his...

Finished the book. Before that finished another book "Rescuing Devon, the world's most troublesome dog". Laugh at his mischiefs and total destructive behaviours. Felt proud of him when he displayed a strong sense to protect people important to him despite his daily goofiness. Sad when I read about his failing health each day but yet, still managed to bring joy and happiness to the ones around him. Heart broke when his time was up and had to go.

It's weird how one of the few things that ever really touch me deeply was reading about how animals, especially dogs, displaying their unconditional love for the people around them. Haha. And how many life lessons these four legged creatures actually taught me. Every little thing in life is worth celebrating. Why bite when a growl will do? Letting the screw loose once in a while doesn't hurt. Haha... And most important, live for the present, live like there's no tomorrow. =)
