The reflections of my dog is that life is so unpredictable. It is so fragile and we must learn to treasure life and relationships (especially those that we love).

In life, most of the time you do not know the importance of that person or thing to you when they are always there for you. But when they are gone or leave you, then you realise their importance and how much they had contributed to your lives while they are with you. This is what I learned most from my dog, Cebest.

Owning a pet offered me many advantages (as what I had just written about the rewards of having pets at http://www.helium.com/tm/22793 2), I have learned lessons and experiences which are unforgettable.

So Cebest was really a good name for my dog.

The next thing that I did for him besides finding him a place to sleep was to put a 'ding ding' on his collar. When the bell around, I could trace his whereabouts. He was so curious about his environment and yet fearful at times. The children were fearful of him in the beginning as he would chase after the kids when they ran. However, soon through training, everything was not a problem. The children love the companion of the dog. There were times where the children and the dog play together and in role-playing as well! Those were the good times. When
