we have 5 new family members -- Abe (Abraham), Ash (Ashley), Ark (Arkin), Ace (Asia) and Ats (Athena). Pink gave birth to them one Tuesday, when we were all on our toes, nervous, panicky and stressed while she was all cool and composed, on schedule, and napping in between contractions. i would not know any better. i've never been pregnant anyway.
no one exaggerated when s/he said that a baby changes the World. call me mother of all dysfunctional OAs but having a new pup (and 5 times over at that!) is dramatic, exciting and yes, life-changing. i also saw how having these new little ones changed Pink overnight! she is the ultimate caring, milk-producing mom but she has become less maldita, more clingy and mas masunurin to our commands. even our household help noticed how Pink has blossomed. must be her hormones. her coat is thicker, and she looks content. how weird do i sound?
no. i guess, i'm just full of joy that i'm about to erupt! i look forward to going home every day, to my time to cuddle the little ones and call them by their names. their daily progress -- from crawling to walking, to snaking their way around to purposively moving around because they can now see a bit --- is exciting, and well quite forboding. in 3 months, we must let go of them. thinking about it makes me tear up, and i decided to not even give it a thought until they celebrate their 3rd month. if i can delay it by not counting the days, so be it. at first, i thought Abe the Kuya was my fave until one pup came after another and then there was Ats. Ats who was so much like the beautiful Pink but as clingy and as loud as her Dada (Tom). i talk about them like babies and real parents! how odd yet how right I feel!
funny how i was totally against keeping a pup from Pink's first litter. i felt having 4 full-grown Huskies at home is enough party. but seeing the 5 little ones grow every day allows me to accommodate 5 more in my heart.
they say love makes your heart expand. it does! it fills it with so much positivity that it feels like bursting with all goodness to keep you afloat even amidst the chaos at work!
i do sound crazy but whatever will keep me all inspired, i'm up for it!
after all, it's not every day that one feels loving so much ... so much that it goes high up to the Moon and Beyond then back .. many times over.
Pink's kiddie kidlets are love. |
