while at mass in gesu yesterday, i received yet another shocking news of death in our household. chowchow, the only female dog in the house and the last of our three original dogs, already joined al ghozi, moe, and pocknut in dog heaven. it has been a sad week for our household dogs, i guess.
i stumbled upon this photo in the internet containing 10 canine commandments. such should serve as a reminder to me on how i should value dogs - more than just a pet but as a best friend of sorts. i actually want to take care of a dog when i have my own parish soon. even if i still have josie (the seminary dog) and kicker (our family dog) to take care of, these 10 commandments post as a challenge for me to really value and take care of them.
interestingly, when moe died last february, "molly and me" was being shown at hbo. and my tears just flowed instantaneously. when i get home this friday, i will surely miss their presence in the house, especially because i'm the one in charge of feeding them daily. but i will surely see them in heaven, together with members of our family who have gone ahead, some of the greatest people in world history, as well as a bottle of san miguel beer. as a friend of mine commented, i'll see moe, ghozi, pocknut, and chowchow someday playing around the meadows in the nearby rainbow bridge.
