Tubby
We have three daschunds at home; today i brought one've them with me to the office. His name is 'Tubby'. And true to his name, he's a fat little thing!
Forever lost in his own world, but as sensitive as a little child - a good looking one at that! But my god - i can suddenly imagine what parenthood must be like - and i'm suddenly having second thoughts about that!
The day has been just so stresssful! I mean, i'm not complaining in that sense - but suddenly i have a new found respect for working parents. Especially the one's who try and work from when they have a child with them aged between 1 and 3.
Tubby is really like a little baby. Since this is probably the first time he's been away the whole day - away from his mumma (my mum) and his own doggy family (pepper - dad and conchita - mum - .biological parents :) ..he's just been so lost! Thankfully he settled down after the initial bit of running around like a headless chicken...but it's really tiring looking after this little kiddo - knowing that i have to be aware of where he is at all times (while i'm in the office). Make sure that he doesn't run out into the street (i had such horrible visions of that).
But to be able to share that bond with another living being is also very special. I feel so gifted...that i have the responsibility to take care of this little bundle of joy - cuz that's really what he is. Always wagging his tail, looking around in wonder, friendly with everyone...hiding behind me when he's scared - as if to say, "take care of me" or "protect me"....wow. It's amazing that two lives can share such a special bond...
