And so we were told just recently that Amber (one half of the Wong family doggies) passed away. We were shocked and of course sad. It's interesting how one dog can have an impact not only to us as individuals but to us a family. Ask anyone of us and we will have our own stories to share about Amber.
I remember days of chasing her..literally. We were not very good owners, rarely took her out for walks. Whenever we left the gate slightly opened, she would dashed out and one of us would run after to catch her to bring her back. Our neighbours must have thought, 'crazy jokers chasing after their dog around the neighbourhood'.
I remember also days when she would just sit down and rest her head in between the grils of the door looking oh so adorable but we knew deep down, she wanted to get more food (eg. chicken bones which apparently are harmful to dogs). haha
And there was that time also when she jumped into the fish pond. That was funny...
She was also a 'friend' to me. Weird as it sounds, used to sit down with her and just talk to her while patting her. Knowing there was not a slight chance of her responding to my rants/complains in life, I shared quite a bit with her..haha. And interestingly enough, she would look back at me with her tongue hanging out and with a face that has no worries at all, and that was enough to remind me of the simple truth of sometimes, just take it easy.
Being away from home and her for quite a bit helps the grieving process but as I was talking to my sister, that we won't forget the memories. The many times she annoyed us and also the many more times she brought us joy.
It is interesting how God allows these kind of things. I believe its in His will too to have allowed us to have a dog and I believe He has also taught us some things through our 4 legged friend.
Once read the book 'Cat and Dog theology' by Bob Sjogren & Gerald Robison and it brought some interesting perspectives to our relationship with Him. And of course, having dogs yourself help to illustrate the examples better.
Thank You God for the memories and for Amber.
Bye Bye 'ber'..

hey bro..thanks for dropping by :)the pics from North Tce during a sunset.
Hi : ) I'm new to your site...Stumbled onto it quite by accident....glad I did....I just finished reading your first few posts here, ending with this one...
...In your first post regarding the persecution of the Malaysian church, I recognized your reference to Oswald Chambers June 4th My Utmost For His Highest passage.....This devotional is always meaningful to me, I read it every day and it has often shed light where I needed it most.
I live in America and it is rare to find a Christian with your theology...Wanting to have a significant life, wanting your life to count for Christ, more than you want comfort and "happiness".....Because of this, your writing was very refreshing to me...Also the honestly you portrayed as you wrestled a bit here with some hard questions...
...Yes, a truly refreshing perspective....
