本书收录直抵人心的温暖故事,甜过初恋的友情、永不褪色的亲情、亲爱的陌生人、无偿陪伴左右的宠物……不论翻开哪一个故事,都能用来下酒,带着它们在时间之间走走停停,做一个惬意的时光旅人。
当我还是一只小狗的时候,我的顽皮滑稽每每使你发笑,为你带来欢乐。你称我为你的孩子,虽然家里许多鞋子和一些靠枕都被我咬得残缺不全,我依然是你最好的朋友。无论什么时候我干了坏事,你总会对我摇摇手指说:“你怎么可以这样呢?”不过最后你都会原谅我,把我扑倒在地,然后搓我的肚皮。
你忙碌的时候,百无聊赖的我只好把家里弄得一团糟。每晚睡觉前我都会跳到你的床上,倚着你撒娇,听你细诉自己的梦想和秘密。我们常常到公园散步、追逐,偶尔也会乘车兜兜风。每天午后,我都会在斜阳下打盹,准备迎接你回家。这些日子,我确信是我一生中最快乐的时光。
渐渐地,你把更多的时间花在工作和事业上,并且花更多的时间去找寻你的另一半。而我总会耐心地等你回来,在每一个你绝望心碎的日子里给你安慰,从来都不会因为你所做的糟糕决定而责怪你。每天只要你一踏进家门,我都会欢快地扑向你;当你坠入爱河时,我会为你高兴得团团转。她—也就是你现在的妻子,并不是一个爱狗的人,但我还是欢迎她来到我们家,并努力向她表达我的友好,听她的话。因为你开心,所以我也开心。
后来你们有了宝宝,我也跟你一样万分雀跃。我被他们精致的面孔,他们的一颦一笑感染了,我真想疼他们一下,很想像爱你般爱你的孩子。然而,你和你的妻子生怕我弄伤他们,整天把我关在门外,甚至把我关到笼子里去。孩子们慢慢长大了,我也成了他们的好朋友。他们喜欢抓着我的毛皮蹒跚地站起来,喜欢用幼小的指头戳我的眼睛,喜欢为我检查耳朵,也喜欢吻我的鼻子。我尤其喜欢他们的抚摸,因为你已经很少抚摸我了。有时候我会跳上他们的床,倚着他们撒娇,细听他们的心事和小秘密,一起等待你回家。
When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was bad, you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?” But then you’d relent, and roll me over for a belly rub.
My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams. We went for long walks and ran in the park, car rides, and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day. And I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a “dog person”, still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, even to a dog crate. As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch, because your touch was now so infrequent. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.
