MY DOGS

A few days ago, I was reading a very funny blog; in fact I couldn’t stop laughing, because it reminded me of my two dogs.

Due to my youngest dog’s restlessness, I had to ask for help (something I’m not really fond of) he was basically tearing our apartment apart, and driving his older brother crazy.

So every day before I go to work I take them to their grandparents (my parents) and after work I pick them up. My parents’ neighborhood is really quiet, which has been really good for the dogs. They are happier and more relaxed now.

Now let me tell you about what happens in the car. Our older dog is quite used to the car, and really enjoys it, but the younger one, hasn’t really been able to get used to it. He still gets dizzy and drools. He has even thrown up a couple of times. When I bought their seatbelts the older one, looked at me as if saying: “but why mother, why do you punish me in such a tremendous way?” I never know what to expect from each day’s ride. Some days they are very quiet. Other days as I drive instead of listening to music I listen to their “singing” (which could be described as high pitched. almost deafening sounds)

I must confess, sometimes I really have to take a deep breath, but to tell you the truth, how can I get really mad? How can I say “bad dogs” when as soon as we get home (and after cleaning their paws), they sit down on the couch? (They really sit down), or when I say “treat” they rush to the kitchen and wait patiently for their treat? No, it’s impossible.

I just love them and I love them deeply.
