請別對我生氣太久，也別把我關起來當作是懲罰。你有你的工作，你的娛樂，你的朋友，但你是我的僅有。

當你因為責罵我的不合作、固執或懶惰之前，請你想想，是否有什麼正困擾著我。或許我沒獲得我應有的食物，我已經很久沒在溫暖的陽光下奔跑，又或者我的心臟已經太弱及太老。

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too, will grow old.
在我年老時請好好照顧我，因為你也是會變老的。

當我要捱過最辛苦的歷程時，請千萬不要說：「我不忍心看他。」或者「讓我不在場時才發生。」只要有你和我在一起，所有的事都會變得簡單容易接受。請你永遠不要忘記，我愛你。

it is something similar to this...

She wants a dog, then she gets a dog.. The mum make her do the promises..then happy start, til she gets busy 7 years later.. & things start 2 change after she gets a bf.. Often neglecting it..

After awhile she notice tat she had treat it badly lately & apologize.. The death of it was the saddest part of all.. Many was tearing already..

Early years, very happy, play wit it everyday..

When it is old, she shut it out.. & got bz, then 4gt bout it.. It accompany though her life.. Always there 4 her..

So sad when he was about 2 die, & she said tat she was bz, can't rush back..

He hurt his finger, then the dog heal by making him play it again..
