Meet Bruiser!

This is my cute little doggy-friend. His name is Bruiser and he is almost 10 years old. When I was eleven years old, my favorite movie was Legally Blonde, and I fell in love with ther chihuahua - Bruiser. My mother started to look into it, and eventually found a good kennel. My mother had contacted a women which had a carrying doggie. They arranged that, if the pup, or one of the puppys would turn out to be a boy, creamwhite, and with short fur, she would get him. 

And you know what? I prayed every night for a month, and didn't forget to say thanks for all I already had and then... my wish came true. That is the only time I have ever asked for something from the higher existence. I thanked the heavens over and over after that, and still do today... not to ask for anything, but to say thanks for what I've already got.

My mother didn't have a lot of money, and even if this kennel didn't ask for as much as they usually do for chihuahuas, she had a difficulty to afford it. But all of this happened while my grandmother, who was 92, started to become ill. She passed away after a month, around the same time Bruiser was born. My mother inherited money, and what other way to spend that kind of money than on a new life, of love and warmth? 

The death of my grandmother gave me another love instead. This made me view death very differently, I can't explain how, but it never felt the same again.. and I am thankful for that too.
