Puppies And Babies


Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies.
- Gene Hill, dog owners everywhere

And of course they are all worth the extra work that you will be strapped with for as long as they live. You will find yourself being owned more than you will ever "own" them. Those puppy eye lashes can flutter only so little to tell many a puppy lie (like no, I didn't pee in that corner, only the other one!) and the smell of puppies just remind you to slow down, it's not that big a deal, and there is a lovelier side to life.

Just like babies too. I see pregnant ladies everywhere today. They carry with them life so proudly. Oh for Pete's sake, even the spa menu that I looked at highlighted a treatment for mum-to-be. You know they will bring forth after 9 months, a newborn, smelling like a newborn, wail like a newborn, and you will forever fall in love over and over again.

If only puppies and babies could remain that size forever. My heart says a special thank you for these two blessings that are put on Earth.
