Yup it’s one of those nights where I am overwhelmed with the amount of love that I have for my animals. I love them so much! and we don’t even speak the same language. It’s crazy!
Sometimes I struggle to express how I am feeling, so I tend to google poems or quotes that resonate with me, and I did that tonight. I shouldn’t have. I searched “cute dog poems” and somehow landed up with poems written from the dog’s perspective – to the owner, to comfort them once they have passed on. That shattered me. I cannot imagine a life without my babies. I love all of my fur-babies the same, but I have an extra special bond with Nyx.
Nyx came into my life when I needed her the most, even though I did not want to admit it at the time. I was in a bad place, and having to get up every morning to feed and walk her was draining, especially because I could not even do it for myself. Having Nyx forced me to do a lot of things that I didn’t want to do, like take her to doggy school every Saturday morning, and go on incredibly difficult doggy walks. But having Nyx opened me up to a kind of love that I am so grateful that I get to experience. We have our own unspoken language. I know when she’s sad and wants attention, and she somehow knows when I need her too. As I am writing this, she is laying tightly next to me and I feel so loved. I wish she could live with me forever. I don’t want to think of life without her. Oh here come the waterworks! Man I really thought I would keep it together tonight.
I started writing a poem about Nyx a few weeks back, and I have to admit – I am not half as good as I used to be when it comes to writing poems. But I might share it one day. The point is… Nyx inspires me. She is so happy all the time, she gets excited for the same toys everyday. She gets so happy when I kiss her paws, give her water, food and take her for walks. She loves to sit with me in the bathroom, she likes to steal my socks! She enjoys every moment and makes it count. I love that. I love her. I wish I could have one proper conversation with her one day, I wish I could tell her exactly how much she means to me, and how much I love her. But I’ll settle for kissing her paws, letting her give me morning breath kisses and letting her take my socks. I hope she knows that I would do anything for her.
Gosh the amount of blog posts dedicated to this dog is so funny! People must think I am so weird, but I don’t care. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened”
This isn’t really one of those blog posts where it has a deeper meaning. It’s simple. Cherish your fur babies! They are with you for a short time of your life, but they are with you for their WHOLE life! so make it count!
Until next time my lovely souls, remember you are loved!
