20/8 Vill bara dela något som verkligen fick mig att både lipa och uppskatta min underbara fyrbening ännu mer! Läs, läs, läs!
A dog's purpose (from a 6-year-old)
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life - like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?"
The six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

8/8 Världens vackraste!
Min underbara älskling är nu hemma i Karlshamn igen! Och han skulle inte kunna vara mer nöjd med det! Efter två veckor hemifrån på olika ställen så började Hiro tycka att vi var rätt knasiga, när skulle vi hem, undrade han! Nu är vi hemma, och nu är han är mycket nöjd liten shiba som ligger i sitt fönster och tittar ut, och går sina favoritrundor i skogen. Borta bra, men hemma bäst, säger Hiro helt klart... Nu är vi alltså hemma igen och Hiro är ledig en vecka till eftersom jag fortfarande har semester. Efter det är det dock dags för Hiro att börja dagis igen, och det längtar han såklart till så att han får leka med de andra vovvarna igen!
