My Shadow

 

*****

The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, 

pets we allow into our solitude

Shadow. Some of you might already aware of his name and a little drama we recently had. (No? read here and here about him three years ago)

That opening quote above can't be more fit to describe my relationship with Shadow. In my solitude, Shadow will always be the one protecting me and my heart from any harm. He is just perfect to be my daydreaming pal and his hug is always comforting. With him, I'll take a longer walk to the unknown path and deeper heart of the forest. I know I'm safe.

Old dogs, like old shoes, are comfortable. 

They might be a bit out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well

Shadow is all about unconditional love. Loving and just loving.  We had this on-and-off relationship (because I'm asthmatic, Shadow has to stay separately in my villa instead of my house..). In some glorious day, I'll jump right away there (2 minutes away from my home) and take a walk with Shadow to the secret garden or the forest nearby. 

Often my day seize me away and we separated for a week or more. Even then, he would always there, waiting for me patiently, hug me persistently, and gets really really excited when I'm around. He never get bored, never gets cranky, never demanding, and always be so nice. Now, what is that but an unconditional love, eh? And just like an old shoes, the more he spend time with me, the more comfortable we are to each other.

Not only handsome, Shadow is very caring. Just look at the sparkle in his eyes and his smile, as if he keeps saying that everything is alright. In other time, he can be the most curious and the silliest dog ever. Adorable!

Shadow is my valentine..
