21st November 2003 at 8.30pm was the first time we met, u were the 1st dog i saw when i stepped into the shop and u just sat there n stared at me...LoL... u were only a 2.5 mth old ball of fluff then and u wern't the puppy i wanted (u were big, dirty and had funny eyes) but u wouldn't take no for an answer... u kept following me, jumping for attention and barking at your brother to stay away from YOUR human... the other puppies played, they tried to pull u in but u just sat near us and kept doing funny things to get out attention... lol... finally i relented and picked u... then u fell asleep in my arms remember??
you've given me 4 years, 9 months 1 week and 6 days of pure joy, friendship and companionship... there are times that u drive me crazy and i spank your bum bum... punishing u never works as it just makes me feel like the world's most terrible person when i look into your eyes... it was my fault that u didn't behave afterall... i'm your owner... i should have known better...
remember when u were a puppy and u chewed up daddy's expensive bed, comfy chair, sofa, dining chair, handphone **and the list continues**... daddy wanted to give u away coz he couldn't handle the damages u were doing to his new house... haha... but because daddy loves me as much as i love you and he loves you, he never gave u away... he eventually gave up and the house now looks like an after-war zone with your chew marks here, there and everywhere....
remember when u first came home and u were scared to sleep alone?? i had to move into the living room to "guard" the house with you or else u would scream bloody murder at nite?? haha... i slept next to your playpen and u snuggled as close as you could to my face... i had to get up everytime u pee-ed or poo-ed to clear your papers so that u won't soil yourself... and the minute i let u out of the playpen, you would pee/poo all over the living room, step on it, run all over the house and made me chase after u at 3am in the morning...
remember when u pulled toilet paper from the toilet and ran round the house with it for the whole family to see your "decoration"... mummy n daddy were mad but i thought u were quite artistic... u have a future in graphic design my boy... LoL....
remember when u crashed head on into the christmas tree and made all the decorations fall down?? u were so excited when u saw all the balls bouncing everywhere and u were happily chasing the balls!! u almost swollowed one but thank god i managed to get it out of u... else u would have had to spend your 1st xmas in the hospital...
many people think that im crazy to sacrifice so much for u... rushing home early to walk you, spending most of my allowance on you and spending time with u rather than my friends... haha i've officially got no social life but i don't feel deprived at all coz everytime i come home to see u and your "1 dog welcome home committee" running to me at full speed with ur butt shaking as if i've been gone for years makes me forget all the nasty things that happened during the day... when i quit school to learn grooming, daddy says he should have never bought u for me coz u made me quit skool... haha... what he didn't know is that if it wasn't for u, i might not even be alive today... there are times when i get so stressed out with school work, i wanted to jump out of the window and end everything... but everytime i approached the window, i worry about whats gonna happen to you when i'm gone?? will u be ok?? can they handle you?? can they make u feel safe?? will they take u to the vet?? will they remember to brush u so that u look handsome?? will they remember to feed you your medication?? everytime i look into your eyes, i tell myself i can't leave you alone....
Sheesh there are so many things you do that drives me crazy... but i wouldn't trade you in for any dog in the world... or anything else in the world infact... we've come to a stage whereby i know how u're gonna react before u even react and u know when i'm feeling scared, insecure or sad and u are ever ready to protect...
they say a good dog owner is one who will be willing to loose a leg or a limb rather than to loose his/her dog... i would give my life fighting to protect you if i have to coz i know u would do the same for me... so whats an arm or a limb when i've already given you my heart rite?? haha...
i used to think dog people are crazy... haha i remember the 1st time i saw Sim and Dinky... the way she talked to the dog... i remembered asking her why is she talking like that... and she said WHEN U GET A DOG, U WILL UNDERSTAND... haha indeed i do understand now...
Elvis u've given us and and taught as so much... u made daddy show his softer side... u've converted mummy from a person who is terrified of dogs to a person who LOVES dogs... u've taught Bern so much about friendship by being her playmate and most importantly, u've showed a once lonely fat girl the true meaning of friendship, companionship, loyalty and most importantly LOVE...
I love you Bee... and i always will... Happy 5th Birthday... may u have many many more to come...
Love,
Jie Jie
