Princeton
I grew up in a family where dogs rule.. literally rule.. they piss & defecate anywhere they want; bark during ungodly hours & just do what the hell they want to do. My mom never did much disciplining... Compared to other people who would get pets to feel their sense of empowerment, my mom, on the other hand, valued these dogs for their affection. My mom is very skeptical of people's motives (I sometimes hate that!) but a dog's loyalty will definitely win her over. It is from her that I grew fond of dogs. I remember shedding tears when they pass away. It is not because they offered me some good advice or a memory of an insightful conversation.. it is the lack of words that made our bonding more special. Or a glance or a wink that says "I understand how you feel but I am not eloquent like you humans are, so just pet me, it will get better tomorrow."
I never really cared to get a dog until Poy asked me if we can have one. I was half-hearted then. I know there will be a lot of responsibilities that go along with getting a pet. He did all the work researching on rescue groups, reading books about them.. all I wanted to do was be there to support him. I knew how much he loved to adopt a dog, so I heeded. After a long-winded research on dogs, we ended up with a goof ball named Princeton..
Princeton, the stray dog from Princeton, NJ has finally found a loving home with us. He is a very handsome dog.. he always get a lot of compliments from neighbors,joggers, men & women alike. His energy is nothing close to a seasoned marathoner.. I love gazing in his eyes.. He is a wonderful creature because he makes us feel the way we do.
Our schedule had totally changed since his arrival. I can no longer enjoy a late morning start because he's up & about & ready to roam the world between 5:30am-6am.. He will jump back & forth in bed like a wild wolf..please tell me how to get mad at him! He is being a goofy dog! I love it that he acts free... What good is it to find a house & never feel at home? That;s how I justify his actions..
Yes, I am weird because I analyze these things, & he is just a dog.. I think I am just grateful that he came along.. That within a small body of a dog my experience of life is enriched everyday.. That through him, I am reminded of how loving my husband is who will attend to mine's & his every need.. that through him, there is more reason for kids to giggle & play. Yes, he makes a mess in our room everyday.. our sheets do not look the same way they used to.. yes, we will make the Lint Roller company a few bucks richer & yes, we will have more soiled clothes to wash every week,but these things offset the extra work compared to the laughter he brings daily. Our Princeton brings out the children & the parents in us. Through him, the walks & the jogs are more purposeful. Through him, we feel a lot closer to nature.. And he makes us realize that life's simple pleasures like a stroll is to be valued daily. He keeps our energy & our youth flowing. There is much more to say about how we feel... The Lord will always find ways to say He cares & He never sleeps, & others find it in seashells, in the skies, in the ocean, in a baby's cry, in a mother's womb, in marriage.. whatever form it is, the world is such a beautiful place.. Our cup overflows...
