Growing Up....

Just recently, I noticed that Pirate and Ger Ger has really grown up...recalling the first day I had pirate and gerger.. and compare them to now...indeed they have grown..not only physically..but grown to be more obedient than they used to...

Pirate used to be very rough when playing...he used to be barking like crazy when he sees strangers...he used to love to play bite and used to chew on anything he can get in his mouth..he used to be a delinquent...cant be bothered about hearing my commands, will tug the leash like mad when i bring him out for walk (making me fall down so many times) and totally not scared of me even when i hit him...

3 yrs have passed..and now when i tink about it...i really see the change in him...he no longer play rough (although he still loves to pounce on me when i return home)...he no longer play bitr or bark crazily...he now listens to my command and come to me when i call him to...he doesnt chew on anything now except the toys i give him...he no longer tug the leash and walks patiently & faithfully besides me following every single step i take...he now learns to know when I am not feeling well or in a foul mood..and will behave himself and sits beside me just to accompany me...he still behaves like a puppy sometimes...but i can feel he is growing up..and am glad that i witnessed this journey of him growing up and seeing the every stage of him growing up and blossom into a handsome boy....

When i first had gerger...i dun know any of her background and even got snapped by her when i tried to touch her...she used to be a shy girl and defensive towards us human...she used to bark like mad at anything (refusing to stop even when i scold or beat her)..she used to snap at strangers (probably due to her history)....she used to be scared of every moving objects...and used to pee when we raise our voice at her...she used to be a dog that is not confident at all...

But having spent 2 yrs with me...i have also seen the growth in her...she is now a lovely girl...still barks not stops when i shout at her...still snap at strangers once a while (esp those who she feels threaten about)...but getting better now...she is now a more confident dog and a sweetie pie always following me ard and forcing her head into my arms just for me to stroke her...she has grown to be a dog that is just contented with hanging out with me doing nothing but just me stroking her head...

I am really glad to have them in my life..to see them transform from delinquents to better behaved dogs (not perfect dogs, but nevermind..I am just contented with them being the way they are now)...am thankful to be given this chance to exprience all the ups and downs with them..am most thankful that I had the chance to grow up together with them...they have been part of my life and we will continue to grow old together....

P.S: Just some of my thoughts :)
