The life with a Dog II


After writing about dogs, some readers shared their opinions. "Yes, it is true, dogs are innocent and dogs never betray you." I think everybody wants to be loved as dogs love you, because it is true love. You might find the comparison unusual, but sometimes a lady wants you to love her more than you love your dogs and cats.
One of lady members visited her man, whom she met through our service after six months corresponding and meeting in Japan. She wanted to experience more time with him, so she quit her job and planned to stay with him for about four weeks. I think living together as a trial is a good opportunity to learn more about each other before getting married, even though it is just a short time.
After she returned to Japan, I asked her how she liked it. She told me her story about staying with him. Sharing time together, she discovered his living style that she had never known. She learned such things as habits, favorite things, disliked things and many other things because she could see him from the different point of view in daily life. She felt more affection when she knew he took care of his dogs and cats with fondness. She was sure that he would love her as he cared for his pets. However, she was surprised that he put the human dishes and pet dishes into the dish washer together and he put her panties into the washing machine with the pet's dirty fabrics. He had never thought twice to do it because dogs and cats were more than a family for him. Although she had never lived with dogs and cats in her house in Japan, it was an incredible experience for her. She said to herself that she didn't want him to do it....
I am not sure if it was the reason, but they didn't choose to get married, finally.
I would say to all of pet loving men: ask a lady if her panties could be washed with pet's belongings, before putting them into the washing machine. This is what I learned from her story.

The Life with a Dog

My dog, GIZMO, always welcome me with innocent eyes. When I feel lonely, he heals me, he hugs me, and heal ways kisses me. Though he can not speak English, and I can not speak English very well, we get along without any words. I am very happy that I can live with a dog.

When I lived in Tokyo, I never thought I could have a dog at home. My Shinjuku apartment was too tiny for any pets. It was about 30 square meters (I can not count with feet), but still the rent was about 1000 dollars a month. I only got sunshine a few moment before noon, because the sun then hides behind the tall buildings. I missed the sunshine everyday. There were a small kitchen, a bathroom and some cabinets which can satisfy a single person's simple lifestyle. As I left home early in the morning and got back late at night, the room was only a place for sleeping. Feeling oppressed, I didn't usually close the door when I used bathroom. I didn't care because nobody, except me, was there. The bed could be changed to a sofa when a guest visited. However, I could not invite guests home very often. Everything was compact, so I could complete my daily chores without over urdening myself, in the room. I knew I could not have a dog in Tokyo because of the bad living environment. However, I have been dreaming of the life with a dog for a long time.

After coming to the USA, I saw many families living with pets. Both the people and their pets look happy, because there is the satisfaction of love within a family. GIZMO and I have lived together, since I moved to Los Angeles, and I really enjoy playing with GIZMO. The more I give him love, the more he answers me with love. Animals never betray their people, so I can trust him. I really like life with a dog now in LA.
