I have 2 dogs. One is Spanner & one is Sparkle. Guess who's who.
Yes, Sparkle is quite self-explanatory the white one. Spanner's the blackie. Both are doted upon terribly. Sometimes, to the extend of being spoilt.
Spanner's birthday's in 5th pr 6th Dec 99 (can't remember too well). Sparkle's birthday's unknown. Basically, he walked into my flat one day & vet said he's pretty much Spanner's age. Both are then technically about 50+ years old - human age. However, both are super active & very much making a racket at home most of the time.
I would say that when Sparkle first came in, Spanner was VERY VERY jealous. One could see that he had to do a slam dunk on Sparkle if that little white one has mummy stroking up. By and by, Spanner followed mummy & Sparkle followed daddy. It's interesting to see, even, how dogs know how to warm up to people for that needed attention.
Last Saturday, I was bitten (quite badly in my dictionary) by Spanner because he was in an ultra bad mood. I brought Sparkle out for a car drive & of all times, mummy brought daddy down leaving Spanner at home alone for at least 1/2 hour. When I came back home, he was berserk-ly barking & followed me everywhere for fear or losing me. But, I had to leave again so I left both dogs at home alone. When I returned home in the night, Spanner was moody & when I tried to sayang him, he bit me. *sigh*...
I was SO very angry & I ignored him. I refused him entry to my room & I refused to stroke him on yesterday morning. When I returned home from my run, he came out to greet me & I still refused to stroke him. Whole day, all he tried was to get me to stroke him. Finally in the night, my heart soften & gave him a hug.
When I returned home from the JUMP - Jesus U Must Praise - concert today at 11pm, I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 dogs still awaiting for me. The minute I opened the door, I heard 2 set of "tick tuck tick tuck tick tuck" rushing out to greet me. Both were jumping madly trying to get my attention, licking me all over. The minute I put down my bag, both were already on my bed waiting for me to sayang them (it has already become quite a routine). & I did. I kissed them, hugged them, sayang them & kissed them some more.
At that very moment, I just thought - I am SO sure that God enjoy it when we keep going to him. When we keep knocking on heaven's door, when we keep worshiping God, when we keep seeking Him, when we go keep adoring Him... I am so sure that He will not ever turn away from us. God is always quick to give, quick to forgive, quick to love... It's a funny analogy. However, in that moment, I just felt that.
