Bella, My Bestfriend...

I meant to write this blog for my pet dog, Bella. She's one of the reasons why I can still laugh and smile each day despite my so called problems. I was thinking instead of writing about "sad" topics might as well write something amusing.

I remember my English teacher in gradeschool, she would often ask us to write an essay just about anything.I was one of the students who would often say (out loud btw!), "NOT AGAIN!" I use to think writing essays were silly. Its one of the teacher's tactics on passing time, the students have something to do while she's SLEEPING! Nice one, TEACHer! You're supposed to TEACH! Well enough about that! HAHAHA

One of the common topics suggested by her would be... "Tell me about your pet". I used to laugh (really loud, and my teacher would "shoosh" me... haha) because I find her and the topic ridiculous. My 10 year old mind could not comprehend, why the hell would I write about my pet? "Its so lame, boring...", I would say. But years after, I now take what I said back...

Bella first came into my life at 2months old. I was awaken at 11 pm by the commotion I heard from my sister's room. I was suppose to shoosh them for being so damn loud. I opened my door as loud as I could to announce to them my irritation. As I prepare to shout, "Ano ba yan, natutulog ako, ang ingay nyo..." I saw this little creature being cuddled by my dad... it was so small and well... furry...

"So this was causing the commotion?", I said. "Pakarga nga!"... "Tapon ko to', eh!" (But while I was saying this, I already got hold of the creature and by this time carried it all the way to my room.)

Obviously, I fell in love with "it" right there and then. I guess its true, it was love at first sight for me.

Bella is my baby. I really am very "motherly" on her. You make sure she's well fed.She drinks her vitamins. She drinks milk in the morning. You spend time playing with her. You walk her around the village. You take her to the vet. You schedule play dates for her and her dog friends. You bathe her. You buy her clothes, shoes and toys. You have a bed for her with pillows. You stay up late when she's sick. Need I say more?

Love as they say is really unconditional. And the love I have for her is one example of this. Its to a point that you feel incomplete when she's not around. Its even so hard to leave her home. I even cry when she's sick! I cannot even digest the thought of her dying.

Bella too is my bestfriend. She is loyal and at any rate you could trust her. I even tell her my secrets! hahaha! She's my roomie actually. We wake up and sleep together.

There was even a time when Id pretend to cry and she would go to me and give me all her dog kisses. She's that sweet.

Its really true that your dog can sense your emotions so well though. During times that I feel I need a little cheering up, she'd know when to go to me and she'd literally just stay right by my side.

How I wish all of us could have our own "Bella". All of us can stay true and loyal. The world can be a better place if we are all like "Bella."

Do you also have a "Bella"? Tell me more about it! :)
