Man's Best Friend

Are you a dog lover?

I'm not!  

I do not do "doggie-baby talk."

I don't like touching their body.

I don't like feeling their bones and everything else inside.

I don't like hair on my clothes, nor on my couch, not even on my floor!

I don't like it when they stare at you and bark,

Like you're a runaway thief!

I don't like them licking me

All the more playing pretend bite.

I don't do fetch.

I just don't like anything to do with them!

But for the past 5 days, I became a convert.  

(Yes miracles do happen!)

This dog named CHIQUI..

Made me do doggie-baby talk

She's actually talking to me on the photo above!

And one time I even called her Raphael! (my son's name)

Now it doesn't feel yucky anymore to caress her body, 

do a bit of massage and even carry her around! 

It's been 5 days only since she came

But it feels she's been part of the family ever since

Now we're all gaga over her!

O CHIQUI!  What did you do to me?

I thought it will be short and easy to dog sit

Now I am hooked on you!

There's nothing we can do but return you

To your rightful owner.  

Please come and visit more often!

Note:  Chiqui is my sister's pet.  The whole family went out of town and Chiqui was left to our care.  She will be fetched today :-(  If I feel sad, Bianca will be depressed.  Chiqui slept with her every night! :-(  Yikes!  I can already hear her saying "Ma, can we borrow Chiqui?"  or maybe, "Let's get our own Chiqui. Please?  Pretty please?"

It took me this long to understand and experience why dogs are called man's best friend.  Can't argue more!

I would love to hear your thoughts!
