I fell in love when I was very young

It was meant to be

Love at first sight

I fell in love when I was very young

They are kind

Stupid

Funny

Smart

They are my beloved family by heart but not by blood

I fell in love when I was very young

Without them I don't know where I would be

Countless times they saved me

Countless times I saved them

I fell in love when I was very young

Together we rain mischief

Together we are invincible

No one can come between any of us

I fell in love when I was very young

And I love them to the very end

Because our love is stronger than any others

Because our love is external

There are some friends for me in dog`s world like Paco, some sort of small breed, looking more like rat then me. He comes and goes, sometimes he stays with us as a guest for a few days. He likes to make a mess. Blankets, sheets, pillows left unguarded finish quickly among his teeth. Once I joined him in this crusade against bedding. Suddenly, I heard gate being open. I scooted away to mine dog-box. Nevertheless, both of us got scolding. Although he gets small portions of food, I don`t mind eating them. Every little free snack is good for me, that`s mine motto.

Other great friend is Buck, Rhodesian ridgeback. Its breed is from Africa and is pretty rare here. His lord got it when he was just tiny puppy from Belgrade Zoo ward Vuk Wolf Bojović. This man is remembered for great love for animals; in fact if there is Nobel Prize award for animals-lovers he would be for sure one of the laureates after Brigitte Bardot, of course, because he is also a gentleman. Interesting thing about Zoo is that it houses alligator Muya for over 70years who “witnessed” the rise and fall of Berlin walls and many other events of modern times. For instance, he is older than EU. He is alive and kicking, not kicking because he spends most of the time in the water and he lacks part of the foot, due to operation.

When we meet, somewhere in the forest, because Buck doesn’t enjoy river bath and refreshment as I do, there is lot of chase, scudding and little bit of friendly wrestling. He has much smoother coat and huge ridge on the back. That is precautionary measure to protect its spine from harm. In his old habitat huge cats live and the job of any ridgeback is to defend the stock from attacks of female lionesses. Male lions are larger but they only go hunting on really large prey like water buffalo or small elephant.

My friend has slim legs and is very agile. He likes my master and one time he surprises him jumping on his shoulder and Jovan is more than average height for a human, around 191 cm.

His diet is strange or rather peculiar for a big dog. Almost entirely vegetable mix like his master, except some frozen sea fish like picarel.

“I put him wild carrot, beetroot and wild nettle in blender together with fish. He loves it. Look at him! He grazes wild nettle. I didn’t give him any today so he finds in on his own”, Ivan, Buck`s owner cheerfully explains. I often take several trunks of grass; it is good for a stomach. However I have no intention eating those wild things. Thank you very much! I stick to my owner Rose cuisine and whatever I find along- part of a sandwich, some unguarded pizza, dead fish (it could be found when the Danube is retrieving suddenly, but you have to obtain keen sense of smell) or dead and withered frog or snake during heat wave.

One day, the rich man came to the house where he had been studying when his mother was well informed. His mother had accelerated his previous prayer. The boy waited at the door. The next two times, he liked his son alone and said that he did not want to be a failure.

- After you pray five more times, can you last longer or hit a few things? With a few things you will forgive a good, poor Rish. He said, “I have not touched my prayer. I have not prayed, but all I need is one thing.”

Then I ask the mother to tell her son, “My child, I prostrate myself, that you love yourself, be rich, and be successful at work.” I don’t need anything else. I give my fight to Alyro in the hotel, I have one more wish, and if that wish comes to my mind, you are close to me and my happy mother.

“She’s what she wants,” she said. Mother: If I could see you praying five times and hitting prayer, I was fine, baby. You can’t hear your own words.

Hey man !!! Do not marry, saying, “Even though I am innocent, he is giving it to me.” Only connect with your parents who you are praying for after they have turned you into a reality. Respect your parents, treat them with respect and honor when they are little...
