Days passed by so quickly when you are with loved ones. I did not even notice that it has been these many months since you came into my life.
How could I have focused on the time passing when all my attention is always on you? How could I have keep tracked of time when I just enjoyed every minute with you?
Check out my awesome and super kind sponsorsOur little monster
You have been a ray of light to our family since you have entered this home. We might not have known it yet at the start but you have been so instrumental in helping us find joy during these tiring times.
I remember that before you got here, I was overworking myself way past my limit. I was exhausted everyday. I do not feel like myself anymore.
But when you arrived, looking so much like a rat, everything changes. Not just for me or my sister but everyone in the family.
Your presence brought us great joy and comfort. When I am frustrated with lessons I could not understand, you are there to distract me from the negative thoughts running through my head.
When my sisters and I fight, you are there doing cute things that we could not help but talk to each other, and the argument was forgotten.
When my parents needed a laugh, you were there to lift up their moods.
You have been with us for just six months and yet it feels like we have you forever.
Today, I would like to look at how fast time went by.
She was so tiny
Just look at Moshi in this picture. We thought that she would be a small dog but we were so surprised that the following weeks she continued to grow until she was the size of her much older playmates.
During this time we call her "Daga" (rat) sometimes because of her fur and her small size. She also looks so disoriented as if she could not quite see her surroundings yet. She was just born when she got to our home. She still needed to be with her mother but the mother died so the puppies were given away.
I remember the vet telling my sister that Moshi might not grow up. But with dedication and attention, she managed to push through surprising the vet with her tenacity.
She was cocky
That is the face of a dog who knows she won. She finally had our hearts without even doing much but just being herself.
I have more collection of her meme-like pictures but I will keep them to myself haha.
She likes to look out at the window
When she was baby, we found out that she will stop being so hyper when we let her stay by the window. "Sightseeing" is what we call it even if there is really not much scenery outside.
Everytime we stationed her by the window she will calm down and just watch the clouds or something. Sometimes she will bark at the cats or the people she sees. But most times, she is just enjoying the view.
She guards her place
She developed an erratic sleeping habit due to being watched by us and my sister who works night shift. When we are the ones watching her, she takes afternoon naps to join us. And when she is at the my sister's place she also sleeps until dinner time and then during my sister's lunch break.
For the first part of her shift, Moshi is actively guarding the place. She watches my sister get her work station ready, and just stay in place.
She needs rest too
Here is Moshi sleeping during my sister's lunch break. She is exhausted from keeping watch and now she is using the chair as her pillow haha.
She looks so tired here. But after she wakes up, she will be full of energy once again.
Closing words
It seems a little weird but we had a small celebration for her 6 months stay with us. I personally call it her 1/2 birthday.
We forgot to take pictures though, so you just have to take my word for it HAHA. Moshi had an eventful day today and she looks so happy. She couldn't stop wagging her tail as everyone in our family is present.
I feel so light as well. As if the worries I have do not exist today.
