Our Four-Legged Friends - Dogs

I recently went to Pet Fair in Midvalley. I think it is a yearly event and last year, it was in September. Being there, I felt both happy and sad for some reasons. Of course, there were beautiful and normal-looking dogs. There were also lucky and unfortunate dogs too. I'd like to refer to them as friends. I think the society is now into owning pedigree dog breeds like Beagle, Golden Retriever, Schnauzer, Chihuahua, Great Dane and so forth because it symbolizes their status. It's no doubt that heads will turn for these good-looking dogs because not all can afford to have one or more. I'd love to have one myself but sadly they are too expensive =(

Our not-so-fortunate friends were there too. I read an article in The Star a day before I went there. There was an article on a mongrel named Beyonce. She lost an eye due to some reasons (I can't remember). I remembered feeling down and pitiful for her when reading the article. The next day, when I was walking around, I came to a booth where there had dogs and puppies up for adoption. A black dog looked familiar. She doesn't have an eye. Could it be Beyonce? True enough, a tag on her neck revealed her identity. Part of me was glad to see her being there but part of me felt sad for her too. She must have suffered a great deal. So I made some donations to some of our unfortunate friends; some of which is paralyzed, has only three legs, has scars and wounds, and I can see it in their eyes that they still have sadness, fear and trauma in them. I can't bring myself to hug all of them because being close to them already brought tears to my eyes. So it was later posted in FB that our unfortunate friends were all being adopted and they now have a home. Hopefully their new owners treat them well.

I can never have that kind of love and compassion towards human beings than to dogs. They have no voice, they can't tell if they're in pain, or hungry or if they are in need of something. So I will try to make monthly donations to organizations to help our friends. They are worth my time and money.

Crawling Back into Reality

I can't help but to steal a few minutes to post something here. I've never written as much as I did in these past few weeks. Yes, finally I submitted my PP and though it's with them, I'm still thinking about the upcoming presentation. I want all this to end. Period. My books have been waiting for me to read them since last year. Yes I can always spend 5-10 minutes to read a few pages everyday but hey I'm a psycho. I'd rather stare at my Word document and have nothing to type than to read those books. You know how torturous it was. Anyway, I feel more relaxed now cos there's no more due date to stick to =P
