There’s been a lack of updates recently so I’ll just post a short post. Recently, I watched 10 promises to my dog. Its a japanese film with chinese subtitles so I read the chinese subtitles while watching. It was really touching, I cried bucketful of tears at the ending of the show. So if you can, you should catch the show because its really a great show! Though a little draggy at parts but at the end of the show, you wouldn’t regret paying money to watch the show because you would have brought something away from it.
These are the 10 promises made between Akari and her dog:
1) Please do listen carefully to everything that I say
2) Rely and trust me, just like how I rely and trust you.
3) Play with me more often
4) Don’t ever forget me
5) Do not quarrel with me, if you do, I must win.
6) If you ever say something to me and I don’t listen to you, there must be a reason.
7) You can go to school and make friends but I only have you.
8 ) Please be my best friend
9) I can only live for about 10 years so every minute you spend with me is very important.
10) Don’t forget the things that I’ve done together with you and when I die, please be by my side.
The ones in bold are actually the promises that I feel more strongly towards even though I think that all 10 promises are ones that everyone should make when they buy a pet. Be it a dog, a cat, a hamster, a rabbit or even a turtle. Because when you purchase them, you’re actually making the silent promise that you will be the one to take care of them.
Its easy for us to forget that the pet by our side won’t live forever and it’s especially easy for us to forget that while we can go out and meet new people and have friends, our pets only have us to rely on at the end of the day. The only form of entertainment that they can find, the only person they can run to when they need something, the only solution to all the problems they have. Alot of people buy pets on a whim, I admit that at times I believe that I did buy my dog because its something all kids want. But before you decide to commit to your pet, you must think of all the pros and cons of having a dog.
People forget that when you have a dog, you can’t just go off to another country for a holiday and leave your dog alone at home. People forget that dogs, like humans, do fall ill and need to visit the doctors sometimes. People forget that dogs have feelings, just like we do, and they can be grouchy, happy, sad and all the emotions we feel. Yet, our pets always carry a smile on their faces and a wagging tail to greet us, even if that isn’t always the way they feel inside.
So spend every moment you can spare with your pet, shower the love that you shower on anyone to your pet. Yea sure, we all get frustrated when our dog barks and howls and poopies everywhere without control. Yea sure, we hate it that our dog smells worse than a skunk after one week and we have to go through the all hated ritual of bathing them. And not forgetting that when your dogs get ticks, you have to go through the long horrible ritual of picking them out one by one (believe me, I know).
But how about the joy that your dog brings to you when they welcome you home each day? How about when they lick all your toes and all your fingers and lick them somemore when they want you to scratch them? Dogs are so easy to satisfy, just a little scratch, just a little treat, just a little of your love and they’ll stay loyal to you forever. So don’t abandon them because they’ll never ever abandon you.
Remember all the things that your pet has done for you and never ever forget your pet. And try your hardest to be there when your dog dies, because all your dog wants at the end of the day, is to see your face one last time before closing its eyes and going to heaven.
