A simple trust

Events have taken plce so fast that I nearly fell headlong into it, thinking I could at last do something to touch something which is so far away.

My heart feels so full with happiness that there’s someone out there who trusts me so completely without knowing what I will ask of them.

Right now, even if it is not to be, I know now in my heart that I have been a good person to people. Eventhough what I want cannot be achieved, it is enough to know that I have the support of such individuals – that’s what matters. I will do no less for them should they ask me for anything in return.

One a day…

…no matter how boring it can get? Ah well.

Okay, first off, Wulfie got bitten by strays when he slipped out of the house a few days ago. Dad had not locked the door, and with a little nudge, our dog was able to get out on his own. The poor baby came back half an hour later, scared as hell, shivering all over & trying to wedge his way back into the house through the steel gates. Mom saw him at the gates & found him bleeding on his torso, and both sides of his neck with deep bite wounds. They were pretty bad but dad said there’s no need for a vet, after he was given a shower.

Despite dad thinking Wulfie’s some kind of super dog, mom thought otherwise & I took him to the vet (when dad was out).

Vet said it’s a good thing I did, else the wound would have festered to something nasty. Poor Wulfie was yelping in pain and shivering in fear as we held him down to have the wound cleaned out. His soulful brown eyes would keep looking at me for reassurance each time the vet did her job. And with my hands full, I wasn’t able to entertain calls from my sister and mom.

After about almost half an hour, his wounds were cleaned, sterilized & smeared over with medicinal cream, he calmed down. With 2 weeks worth of meds & antibiotics, and a scary bill, we said goodbye to the vet & went home.

After about 3 days now, I’m happy to say that Wulfie’s wounds are getting better and he’s back to his active self.

Lesson from all this? Never take anything for granted, and don’t ever just listen to dad – he can never always be right, no matter how many dogs he might have had before.
