I Love Animals So Much, They Teach Me So Much

Here is my doggy Paris.



My mother told me she was, as a favour to her friend, bringing a small dog home to prevent her from being put down at the animal hospital, since no one was coming to claim her.
When I heard a "Tiny dog would be coming to stay with us" I was very disappointed and not looking forward to it.
I was expecting a yappy, annoying, loudmouth dog, which is definitely not my style.  I need silence and meditative calmness.

So, the day had come, at around 6 in the morning, just at sunrise, I went and looked at the solitary cage in the kitchen to meet my new enemy.
I opened it up, and instead found the quietest, most shy, peaceful, loving animal I had ever witnessed.
I instantly bonded with her and knew that I could never leave her behind.  She has been my best friend for many years now.

I am certain that if she passes on, she'll return to me in the form of a child or another animal.
Her intelligence is uncanny, and I have taught her how to play (I use the word "play" loosely) musical instruments in a matter of minutes.

Okay, enough praising.

The truth is, I just love her with all my heart.
