Was looking at Toda sleeping on the way back in the car just now.  And I realise there is much to re-learn from my buddle of joy. 

His ability to simply give his trust in you strikes me everything we bring him out.  Either is it an outing to Sentosa to swim or is it simply him meeting other dogs and pet owners… his friendliness, his enthusiasm, his simple exuberance, his mad tail wagging.  I think once upon a long time i use to be like him. 

Simply loving life, having no guard against anyone, not having to think so much… makes me wonder if this is in fact part of growing up.  Then at the risk of sounding childish I do not wish to grow up this way…  having to keep thinking “if I do this, what would ppl think”, etc.  But I guess I just have to reach that point myself… to grow more confident and not keep pondering, hesistating but just be like (for lack of words) a trusting puppy!
