If You Love Someone, Let Them Know

Watched Marley & Me for the second time yesterday and bawled my eyes out AGAIN -actually worse than the first time since I have Hyde now and they are both Labrador, so it's easier to visualize that Hyde was the one going through all that. Urghhh cannot imagine how devastated I will be when the time comes.

I do have this fear of losing loved ones. When I was a kid, every time my parents came home late, I would always freak out and think of the worst, then praying the whole night until they return safely. I also used to pray to God to take me first before my family members -but not anymore since my friend told me it was a very selfish request, that it would be even harder for parents mourning over their child.

Heaven knows the more we are attached to something, the more painful it will be when we are separated from it. But I guess as long as we let our loved ones know we love them and we care about them, there should be no regrets or a guilty feeling. :)

Hyde the Puppy

Hyde (Japanese pronounciation: Hai-doh) is a Kintamani-Labrador puppy whom our brother got from his friend when he was already 3 months old. Here's a brief story about how we got him in the first place. Christian (our brother's friend) said that his dad wanted to slaughter Hyde and made him a Satay for God's sake. He then became a hero and offered our bro the puppy! Kind of Fate because at that time our brother was looking for one, and we ourselves have never even thought about having a puppy before because we live in an apartment and we thought a dog would be too much to handle, BUT one day Hyde just came into our life. Like a boss. :')

He is blond and he has very soft, cotton-like hair! Mad love it when:

• He strolls around and his hair touches our feet coincidentally
• He stops whatever he's doing to make an eye contact with us (and of course going back to whatever he's doing but nevermind lah)
• He feels tired and he will immediately lay down like a rug
• He chooses to sleep beside us, curled-up!
• He licks our face like there is no tomorrow (a big lick to the face is a sign of affection and closeness - googled)!

With Hyde, our days have been filled with "Aww..." "Ohhh..." and so on.

Oh, we just love him so much!
