"Drifting through time and space on the face of a little blue ball, falling around the sun. And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above... you are my universe, you are my love" James Taylor
My life is full of contrasts, its as light and dark as my fur. Its not good vs. evil... very often... but it is more than just black and white. The contrasts form a delicate balance that affords me a weird comfort that frames my world.
For instance;
- I am wonderful and Finn is... Finn.
- I am smart as a whip and Loki is dumb as a post
- I am always between 14 and 15 lbs and the Bitty is also between 14 and 15 lbs!!!
- I am the leader of the pack and everyone else is beneath me
- I sit higher, sleep longer and eat first... which means the others sit below me, wake first and eat last
- I hike like a champ... Finn hikes like a chump
- I am fast like a flash of lightening but the Bitty is slow like a snail
- My Mom is sweet, loving, caring and has a childlike charm... Dear ol' Dad is rough around the edges, a smartass and is kind of a dick most of the time
- Mom trusts everyone until given cause not to... Dad trust no one, EVER and protects us like a big bear watching over his cubs
- I am medium, the Bitty is small and Loki is large BUT,,, Finn and I are the same
- Loki is loud but the Bitty is louder.
- Finn and I are the same but Finn does not play or woo-woo... he never learned how (which is sad and makes me want to know what happened in his life before he came to live with us)
- I have Dad wrapped tightly around my little paw and Mom has Dad wrapped around her little finger... I cannot wrap Mom around anything but I know she loves me.
- Finn, the Bitty and I are pure breeds and Loki is a mutt... but we all are loved the same (except Dad really treats Loki like a mutt)
- Dad's bark is worse than is bite and Mom s sweet like candy BUT she doesn't take crap from anyone... including Dad
- I started life in a family... that family was taken away from me... I found Dad and became a pair... we met Mom and suddenly became I had a family again... this time nobody will EVER take that away from me
I've determined that life is an table of odd fitting pieces on a big flat game board. No matter how different these geometric pegs may be... we find a way to fit each of them into the round holes that are our lives together. Its funny how doG has a plan for each of us. We whirl around in a tight circle, sometimes we spin out of control an id crash. But if we're lucky other people find us wpnderful and they rotate around us, like they are in orbit... pulled to us by a weird gravitational pull. Its the theory that opposites attract and then those opposites start a weird melding that blends those differences together into a very tight and organized family unit.
In the end, all you have each other... and love. In the end.... do you need anything else?
