Today I want to dedicate this relaxing moment to my dog.
He is right here next to me.
He probably knows that I'm speaking about him.
I'll try to describe him for you,
Although it can be quite hard,
Because he is this free spirit that I feel like I can't catch.
He is the sweetest thing ever,
And yet he barks and runs with enthusiasm for everything and everyone.
I guess he sees everybody as a big potential for a playmate.
Everything he sees,
It's as if he's seeing for the first time.
It's incredible how he keeps this intense zest for life,
No matter the circumstances.
Whenever I look into his eyes,
Either because he comes to me or because I interact with him,
He has this deep look that always,
Always touches my heart.
He's so interesting that I can even feel his sense of humor.
And sometimes I almost could see him smile.
Also sometimes I see him sad or frustrated,
Especially when I tell him that he has to wait a little more for us to go out.
Living with him is very close to live with a human being,
Especially when he snores during the night.
I also say this because his appearance is quite big and very expressive,
Extremely expressive.
The way he communicates is so,
So intelligent that sometimes I just stare at him as if I'm contemplating his marvelous way of being.
During the early times with him,
I felt this deep sorrow because I knew how wonderful he was,
But it was so hard to get others to see it too.
After nine years,
I am still learning from him and I am still trying to be the best I can be.
And yet I could be so much more.
Sometimes I get angry at him and I wonder how he may feel in those moments because I am the main person in his life.
I guess this inspires me to become the best version of myself as the way he spends his life depends a lot on my decisions and my general way of being.
At the same time,
He shows me such a kind heart and such a playful attitude towards everything that I put aside all the seriousness that thoughts can bring me and I simply am what I am at the moment.
And then I smile at him and I tell him how much I love him every day,
Every hour,
In every way.
He is truly one of the best things that happened to me.
He is the proof that life happens at the moment,
That everything can be beautiful and that nothing is too serious.
He never ever gives up on his desires.
He stands still until his wishes come true and he is not afraid to show himself vulnerable.
He actually stands up for himself and yet he instantly forgives.
In the past,
Some people used to tell me that he was not properly educated as he usually walked free without leash and he wanted to play all the time.
These people also told me that dogs are the reflex of their owners.
For a long time,
This was quite hard for me to hear until I realized that that was actually a huge compliment.
All credit goes to him and yet what an honor it is to be associated with him.
So today I came to share this part of my life that is very dear to me as I feel truly inspired by it.
How grateful I am for witnessing this wonderful being that goes with me everywhere I go.
