Is your dog your best friend? Lots of us feel our pets specially dogs are
our friends. They offer us unconditional love and support when we feel down, when we’re
having a “bad hair day” or when we feel like dancing around the room! Are there
many other best friends who can do this?
Sweet, docile and affectionate, it's little wonder that when
it comes to puppies, Golden Retrievers invariably leap to mind that's one thing i really love to the golden's. Yes, all
puppies are cute and adorable, but when it comes to Goldens, they're in a class
of their own. There's something particularly heart-melting about these bundles
of wriggling blond fur, with their oversized paws, soft brown eyes, alert tails
and, of course, velvet floppy ears.
My dogs are not trained but they know when I need their help, that's came a unique bond we have. Its "putitang", I gave this unique call to
my loving golden retriever Apoline, shes a 4yr old pal,she thrive on close to human companionship, and want nothing more
than to put a smile on my face. I have 5 dogs (golden
Retriever) its 6 just before my male dog Oliver died (oliver is apolines dad).
Just got 3 more adorable dogs 2 years old male Samuel "baboo"
Samantha "sam" Samira "bulilit". But got this unique
special bonding to apoline (i mean all my dogs are special in their own unique ways). She is the youngest and the smallest of the batch (1st )
of 5 babies and only 3 pups were alive and the other 2 is died when it
came out, but a couple of days the other pup's didn't make it too.
When my dog Clara "dada" got pregnant, and the remaining 2 out
of 5 pup's dada really give extra effort making her way to give the extra love and care after her lost
to the other puppies (shes the best mom!) she got this big fat and cute puppy (really cute) I named her Agatha "atang" but the other puppies
which i named Apoline small body, short legged seems not healthy pup's compare to her sister agatha, looking at
her...just like it can't live much longer and survive (my hearts in pain) But Ive
been inspired to do what ever it takes to try to make her live, every morning I
wake up around 2am in the morning to see if shes getting milk from her Mom, gently pressing her moms nipple to her mouth, because shes not strong enough to
grip and hold her Mo'ms nipples, with a small mouth at that time, and the
worst part is her sister agatha keeps on pushing her away dragging and rolling
every time agatha's changing nip's routine. My family told me that it would be
miracle if that small dog will survive, but i guessed it's really miracle of
how my dogs grow (oh yah! it really grows way big!)

My love of dogs has ebbed, flowed, and
evolved over the years. I had some mongrel dogs when I was younger and have
only become a "crazy dog lady" as an adult. Putitang has become
my best friend. I know she understands my grief/anxiety and stress. I don't
have to explain anything to her, I can just "be". Every time
she looks at me with wise brown eyes and doesn't judge me. The comport and
wonderful feeling is beyond compare. I trust her and she is always there
for me. She comforts me and is always by my side. One thing that i find her
special is every time i cry she will give you a helping "paw" she
will reach your hand or shoulder as if she's telling you "I'am here for you"
she wants you to hug her when you cry, and when she feels that your getting
fine she will stay near you staring from time to time, just like checking if
your gonna cry again. She even extend her support to my loving friend Lyn, when
my friend Roselyn is in her deeply crying pain when her Shih tzu died (fluppy)
I really shocked when apoline jump in the sofa and seated between us cuddling
and licking Lyn's face, when she saw the tears on her face and when Im almost
got to cry apoline give her best sympathetic heart warming cuddle to my friend
because fluppy is part of our family too became one of apolines friend.
Not just for crying thing she even control me every time i get mad
(especially with my younger brother and sisters) lucky for them co'z apoline
dont want me to get mad, when my pitch is on a higher note, shouting or seeing
my face on a angry grim my girl pal is on the rescue. That's why every
time my bro and sis did something wrong they always put apoline around me
hehehe.Comfort-seeking, she would be more likely to approach me as her usual
source of comfort, their owner she really can calm me down and cheer me
up, even i closed my door inside my room she will bark and keep on calling me
to let her in, she really an easy if she's not sure of my condition. She is a
loyal girl. I feel safer when she is around and she follows me around the
house, do gardening, walking, jogging swimming (that's her fave) as if the
feeling like protecting me. I'm just really
happy that I have her in my life and that this bond has formed. She is more
than my friend! She is my everything and I am so happy to have her in my life.
She's on my side right now and sleeping leaning safe, secure and comfortable in
my lap. =)
So you love your dog. He’s your best friend. Well, now you
know, you’re not the only one!
“A dog is the only
thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”
