Kiwi

It’s Kiwi’s birthday today. Had he been around he would have been 14, but last year he chose to go.

A friend sent me this when kiwi died and I dedicate it to kiwi today:

What a dog would tell you

1.My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me

2.Give me time to understand what you want of me

3.Place your trust in me; it is crucial to my well being

4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment

5.You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I only have you.

6.Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice

7.Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget

8.Remember before you hit me that I have sharp teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.

9.Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me; perhaps I’m hungry, or tired or too old

10. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old. Accompany me on the difficult journey. Don’t say, “I can’t bear to watch’ or ‘let it happen in my absence’…it is easier for me if you are there – even in my death

Diksha and Kiwi is sync

Dhruva and Kiwi is quiet companionship

We love you and miss you kiwi !
