Lessons from My Dog

I am somehow the owner of a pincher dog. My brother actually bought it for himself or rather for his kids and somehow the dog is now my pet.

I can't say I love the dog yet. It has been so long that I have loved another. Let alone a dog. After all these years - I do not fancy animals especially dogs anymore. It is like I have grown up like an old tree and something in me withered away. Is this what the world makes people to become or has age mould me to this selfish uncaring person - or does love that has been broken up does that to someone.

The lessons that I learn from my dog day by day is that he (the dog) is very punctual for food. He tries to not disturb people but he cannot help but to make demands when he wants to go out or to eat. In short - the dog maintains a simple logic at certain times, he wants to go out to pee and off times he just wants to eat - that at the same time each day.

Today, I have relented fighting with my dog. I no longer want to dissuade or push or refuse to care more for the dog. Today, I decided that the dog is just a dog and he is not behaving like an alpha male or breed - he just wants his food on time.

The dog also teaches me some amount of patience. It seems each day, I am learning more and more of new things and renewed patience.
