The Simple Things of Life

Yesterday evening i somehow managed to reach home a bit earlier than usual and thought i might as well spend some much needed quality time with Angel.So i sat next to the fish pond and called out to her ... the eager look on her face as she ran quickly to put her paws on my knees is really rewarding.

Even though she could not say anything, the very look in her eyes told me that she IS glad that i m taking out some time to pet her on her head and to scratch her ears :)

After a while, she ran to get her chew toy and she brought it next to me while throwing the chew toy up and down, as if inviting me to play with her... heheeh...dogs are REALLY man's best friend in thsi case, a girl's best friend!I felt sorry for not having spent enough time with her.

many a times when i reach home, she would look at me with those big round puppy eyes of her but i just didnt have time to spare for her. Isnt it a pity?

Imagine waitng eagerly for someone to come back for the whoel day and when at last she did come back, she ignores you. Yesterday as i petted the little furry head on my knees, i remembered that i used to spend my evenings outside with my lovely dogs last time.

That 1 hour spent with them would usually be a fun and rewarding experience. I would bring the newspaper outside and spread it on the stone table. And my dogs would gather around my feet watching me reading the papers. In fact, one of my dog .. DeeDee would even jump up onto the table and lie right next to my newspaper..haahaha..Those were the days and to think that i've almost forgotten about the way i used to spent my evenings.

It was always amusing to see them play and prance around with each other.Any cares or worries would usually be gone when you look at them in their carefree ways...I think the dawning of new responsibilities and new commitments puts a toll on each and every one of us.

Working 8 to 6 makes my body weary and my brain exhausted...the moment i reach home i have to either rush on to prepare for a night out or i would be so eager to jump into the bath and tuck in to dinner that we somehow overlook the simple things of life like spending some time to let my poor dog put rest her head on my knees.

arghhhh i feel so guilty!!! life's a b*tc*! :}
