Wednesday, February 04, 2004 Sometimes people don't understand what I'm going through -- heck sometimes even I don't either. As my mom would say, losing Cookie, to me is like the death of a child. I realize that is quite a statement. Cookie came to live with me at a time in my life when I really couldn't stand children. I thought they were loud, annoying and a nuisance. Quite frankly, I had no patience for them at all. Then my parents asked me to watch Cookie while they went out of town and she never left. Almost instantly, having Cookie around brought out my maternal instincts and in the process taught me to be more patient, kind and above all, more loving. Taking care of Cookie taught me to care more about life especially now that I was responsible for another being instead of just myself. Those early days were tough because I was living in an apartment building that didn't allow pets. I had to sneak Cookie in and out of the building complex each time I took her out for potty -- 3 to 4 times a day. I'm sure the security guard was a little suspicious of me driving in and out in short spans of time. There were times though when I was sick or exhausted from the day and just wanted to sleep. I really didn't mind though and I would do it all over again. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
