Junior's little pleasures

Our golden retriever Junior is a doggie with simple pleasures. He loves sleeping in bed with Mama and Papa - especially in December when the weather is slightly cooler and there is plenty of rain, thunder, lightning and wind.

Actually he is terrified of rain, thunder, lightning and wind!!

He also loves having us run our fingers through his fur coat to look for ticks. Some folk may think this terrible, but it is really a time where Junior gets all the attention from either his Mama or Papa. No distractions from Torrent, just Mama and Papa running their fingers through his whole body and his paws and tail to hunt for ticks.

Walks (for pang sai) and car rides are his greatest joy - he gets to go out. The walks are great sniff sessions. He gets to smell the air outside. He also gets to sniff for rats in the bush line and maybe get a little excitement in trying to terrify them. He also get to meet people on his walks and say "hello".

The car rides promise greater adventure - he may get to go to church, or the laksa stall when we have lunch, or to the office, or even the beach!

He loves going to church because he gets to praise God. The laksa stall is great for observing people. The office where he gets to spend more time with Mama and Papa in cool air-conditioned comfort. The beach is great for the sea and sand and smells.

Such are Junior's simple pleasures - no worries in life!
