urban Jungle

  • Toronto hit the 40's today. Im living in a urban jungle, with all the car exhaust and smog..how is anyone supposed to live? It was just plain, hot and sticky. I find people get grouchy in this heat. People for the most part..are more aggessive. They drive more aggressive..and for the city I live in..that is NOT a good thing. Most of people in my city, are aggressive as it is..combined with poor ablities to drive. Ushers new song "dj got us falling in love" is something, Ive been hearing on a daily basis now. I work at a studio..and the dancers are loving it. Add in the fact, we have wicked stereo equipment, and my office vibrates with the bass...how can I not tap my foot..or get up and file and dance to it myself? I love his new track. Im finding I love alot of ushers stuff. he is just so danceable. His slower tracks...good lord..hand me a kleenex box Im waterworks and all full of emotion. its cooler now..and dark. Time to go for a long walk. Me and my dog talk. Well, I do most of the talking..he just glances up at me. He has got to be thinking "what the hell is she going on about?"...or he thinking Im teaching him new commands...either way, he glances up at me, and I swear hes listening. Pretty sad,..when your dog knows your hearts troubles. I love this dog. Ive owned dogs all my life. All my life. Even as a baby, I was bought a dog..and dad named her "sheba". Sheba was protective. According to dad...NOBODY could go near me, when they were mad. She would stand in front of me, and curl her lip up and growl right at you. She was fiercley over protective. Dad said, it was because, I fed her all my food. As a toddler, shed stand infront of me, and I would take a few bites..and then feed sheba the rest. As an adult..I conclude, that is why Sheba was so over protective. She also saved my life that dog. I wont go into a lot of details...but, as a toddler, I almost froze to death. They found me in a corner, with Sheba curled around me. I was rushed to hospital, where the doctor said "if she didnt have that dog around her...Id be telling you "theres nothing we can do". I still have a photo of her. I also remember xavier...licking my left knee in a skiing accident, and my left ankle, when it was sprained from wearing police boots. He would sit there, and just lick my ankle..trying to "make it better". He too..was fiercly protective. You had to open my bedroom door slowly. If he was startled or you opened it open to fast...he was teeth first. (he never bit anyone) the best memories, were when I would get home...and he would do the DINO on me. Run full force..and jump and knock me over...while licking my face. I miss him dearly to this day. I have his ashes on my dresser, along with a photo of him. "all things are possible" is his frame. Shebas is "eternal love". Maybe Im weird with my dogs. I dunno....It feels right. Isnt that what life is for? Following your heart. Fuck what the world thinks. I beleive, that was the beggining of my love affair with dogs. They are a listening ear, protective, and sensative. I care for my dogs excellent. David, even said...I treated my dog better than him at one point. (did that ever hit home and hurt) I can see it now...I will be that old lady in the apt with her old dog...and dying with it. Pets are gods treasures to us. People are treasures to us. Thats why...we should always treat them right. (or least strive too)
