I Rescued A Human Today

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.



As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into

her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.



I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven’t walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.

Difference between Love and Like?

I was flipping through my old diary the other day and i found myself staring at the long forgotten memoir. The faded ink prints read "Difference between love and like". 
Love and Like are the most beautiful emotions we share with all beings.They are like identical twins. Differentiating them can be difficult if we have fallen in love. Everyone of us have gone through this and it racks our mind so badly that we find it hard to come to a conclusion. This points are actually written by some unknown author.(except the  Now lets see the "difference" that i had inscribed in my diary.

1. When in front of the person you love, your heart beats faster but in front of the person you like, you just feel happy.

2. In front on the person you love winter seems like spring but in front of the person you like winter is just a beautiful winter.

3. If you look into the eyes of the one you love,you blush but you smile at the person whom you like.

4. In front of the person whom you love, you can't say everything on your mind, but in frint of the person you like, u can.

5. In front of the person you love you tend to get shy. But in front of the person you like you can be your own self.

6.You can't look strainght into the eyes of the one you love., but you can smile into the eyes of one you like.

7. When the one you love is crying, you cry with them, but when the one you like is crying you end up comforting him/her.

8.The feeling of love starts from the eye and the feeling of like starts from the ear.

9. We will try to ignore the person whom we love when we are with our friends, but we will remain the same when we are with the person whom we like.

10.If you stop liking a person all you need to do is cover your ears, but if you try to close your eyes on love, it turns into a tear drop and remains in your heart forever.

I can understand how sweet our memories become after reading this...
