You must read this book!
Growing up my parents did not
allow us to have any pets expect for birds and fish. My brothers and I always
wanted to have a dog. Now, as an adult I have two beautiful furry babies.
Charlie is a 95 pound chocolate lab and Oliver is a mixed maltese/poodle who weights
a hopping 8 pounds. They are best friends…. Well sometimes…. Shhhh! don’t tell
Charlie I said that. They are the best
babies every. They bring happiness into my home and I just love them so much.
Recently, I read a novel called “UNSAID” by Neil Abramson. I can honestly say
that this novel made in impact on my life in an emotional way. I never thought
about how strong our relationships with animals can be and how we learn about
their personality, emotions, and the love we receive from them. After reading
this novel I realized that people and animals are similar in so many different
levels. The power of communication is
the key for people and animals to understand each other. You see, it is how the
message is delivered, received, and it matters that make a difference. I found myself analyzing my babies more
often. I notice how Charlie has
stressful days when Oliver gives him a hard time. Charlie has low tolerance
when being picked on and loves going for rides. Oliver on the other hand adores
attention. He is tends to be a bully with other dogs and loves to eat ice
cream. I’m glad I read this book because I gave me the opportunity to
communicate with my babies on a different way.
Lourdes I love that you treat your dogs like your own children. Dogs are a lot smarter than what we give them credit for and my family says that the only thing dogs need left is to speak. The book Unsaid sounds so interesting that I want to read it! It warms my heart to know that you were able to connect with your babies on a different level. How you were able to get to know them as individuals.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love animals as well, and also have read a book that relates to the one you read.
ReplyDeleteLulu i love this so much i know where your coming from. I have six little babies myself they mean the world to me and i dont know i would with out them. Now that i read your post im going to have to read that book. Now im going to start to see what i notice with them.
ReplyDeleteHey Lourdes, I myself also wanted a dog along with my sister since we were young kids. Once we finally moved into a house my senior year of high school, I took the chance and rescued a pit-bull named Cali from the shelter. Its really cool how your able to distinguish your pets behaviors, the book sounds very interesting as well to get some more insight about our pets. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteI personally didn't like dogs or any animal at all until my brothers got a dog that’s when things changed. First I would push her away all the time, but then when the dog would look at me with those sad eyes and would do funny things that I didn't know dogs could do that’s when I began to like her. Now I love that little dog; so now I understand what you mean lulu about being your babies and the thinks they do. Take good care of your dogs because they are like little people. I’m pretty sure you do though.
