Momo and Me

I always believe there is a special bond between dog lovers; we instinctively understand one another, we know the depths of affection we have for our devoted pets... and we know the joys, and the richness that our doggies bring us..Yet the intensity of feeling did not come through to me till i read a tale of aother dog-owner - the events of their life with the dog, the feelings for their dogs, it then struck me with great clarity that dog owers are more closely bonded by our love for our dogs than we can ever imagined!!!

As Hubby and me were doing some late night browsing at the Book store Borders, we came across this cute look Labrador staring at us from the front of a hard cover book - "Marley & me"

Intrigued, I picked up the book and saw that it is a story about a dog owner and his dog...

The resonance I have with the book is uncanny.. Like the book, we bought Momo not long after our honeymoon.. she symbolises the start of my married life togther with my husband.. We always feel that Momo will prepare us well for parenthood for she can be such a little baby sometimes! She taught us patience, and not to be too uptight about dis-figured furniture, torn book etc, as these are similiar havocs that our kids will one day create..

And very uncannily, Momo has been by my side gently when we had our first miscarriage, as Marley did for his owner.. in those dark days, Momo has learnt to be sensitive and was in tune with our feelings..

At this point, I do not know how our lives with Momo will turn out, and I hate the thought of the inevitable immortality.. through the book, I know how the Grogan family and Marley had turn out..tey had coped and they had survived the pain%
