Hours before sunrise, I woke up to an unknown sound---a burp, a yawn, or a heave. As I peered through half-closed eyes, I could hear the gentle buzz of the radio…then I hear Fritz, sprawled at the foot of my bed, make a satisfied sigh and was silent again. Or maybe I mistook the sound. Maybe what I heard were Fritz’ rapid eye movements, murmurs from his own deep secret dreams. And not only dreams---aspirations. Dreams of seeing the ocean. Of meeting his soul mate. Puppies. Grand-puppies. Great-grand-puppies.
And there he was, sighing in his sleep, no worries, not afraid of death. Not even of adulthood.
I scratched his head---he looked up to me, hugged his red pillow, stretched and I felt downright hopeful. This morning, as I watched the light creep into my room, I saw sunbursts of joy and sorrow.
It's humming in my universe, and so is Fritz. Someday, he will see the ocean and his puppies. I'll make it happen.

Fritz is adorable!! happy birthday to him, a bit early!
What a wonderful little furball. I love the idea of his dreaming of grandpuppies :-).
Ah, such a sweetie with an adorable face and that cute little nose:) Have a good RT!
Your little Fritz is a real cute furball to cuddle ! How dangerous it could have been when he lost his collar !
I also hug our dogs once in a while because i treasure those very moments they're with us. Too many dogs na kasi that died but this is because there was and is no capable vet around here. Good thing I learned some tricks to keep them healthy! As I can see from your relationship with Fritz, you know how it really feels to have a dog as a loving companion! Mabuhay si Fritz :-D!
Oh Miranda, such a sweet pet is Fritz. I know you will make his wishes come true! Great Ruby Tuesday post! Thank you! :)
Wow, quick thinking on your part to keep Fritz from running into the road by shouting at him. I'm glad he's okay. He's adorable and looks like he enjoys that red pillow! :)

hi, Bernadette! i love hugging Fritz kasi kaladkarin yan e, hihiga kaagad to have his tummy scratched (hahaha). it's devastating to lose a beloved dog kaya sana laging healthy at safe ang 2 doggies mo.
