I love my dog

I have a dog. His name is Bruno. He is a few weeks from his 7th birthday. He loves chasing tennis balls and going for walks on the beach. He loves small children and is the best friend a person could ask for.
Bruno has cancer.

A year or so ago his back right leg started swelling. It was a strange bump and when he went to the vet, they said there was nothing there. That it was probably arthritis. A year later, it turns out that he has a type of cancer that forms on the bone. His whole leg is swollen. They have done tests and he is anxiously awaiting the results. There is hope that the cancer has not spread, but if it has...well, that bridge will be crossed when he arrives there.

Bruno is the most incredible dog. He is lovable, kind, friendly, and never ever snapped at anyone. He has the kindest soul. And my heart is breaking. My best friend is sick and I wish I could make the sickness go away. I would do anything to make him feel better. I love my dog <3

"Oh Life...."

The last few days have been bumpy for me.... Maybe they weren't meant to be, but emotionally, I was rocked around like a drunkard on a ship!

You see, being in love is amazing! It's just as soppy and romantic and lovey as novels describe. But what they leave out is the fact that you are two people, two individuals, who have different goals, different idea's, insecurities, bad moods, experience jealousy, fight, cry, be sad...and then when you think it's done, and your worst fears may become reality..... you guys fix it. Things get better. You realise that together, you can do it. That you're there to pick each other up and make them laugh when the world has shat on their heads....

My goal is to be this for my boyfriend. He has been my inspiration, my fan, my tissue, my shoulder, my ear, my happiness, my laughter. And he has taught me so much - about who I am, and about life. Don't get me wrong, he gives me grief too sometimes but a relationship has to go through a rough patch, just so you can enjoy the greenery more.

I don't know what the future holds, but for now, I am happy as hell knowing he loves me as much as I love him.
"You're just 2 people walking together, dancing".... I wanna dance with him

A Poem for Today

As the storm clouds grow and edge closer,
She sits and longs to fly within them
Alas, she has no wings, no angel is she
These four walls are all she has, all she ever will have.


Fear
It grips its hot, sweaty hands around her
It squeezes, wrapping its long, greasy fingers around her throat
She feels trapped and gasping for air.


Her fear is not a normal one
No fear of snakes or clowns, no arachnophobia
She fears being forgotten
She fears being neglected.


So strong is this fear that she over-compensates
Her love becomes too much and smothers
Without you, you see, she would have no desire to live
For death would be better than a life alone.


As she thinks and thinks, and thinks some more
Panic begins to grow
For she is nothing special or amazing
Perhaps only different.


But her will is strong, her heart even stronger
She knows there is no need to panic
She will always have you, you promised her this
Peace in her soul.
