2. Who is me?
Who is me ???
3. Exactly! I am pondering up on that myself while dozing off in
this fine mid-morning warm summer breeze through the half closed
kitchen door, in this crowded valley called Las Vegas, which
belongs to a 600 sq mile Mojave Desert.
4. That pinpoints me geographically on this planet to answer partly
who I am.
5. What else could possibly define me?
6. Human has many parameters to identify themselves: SSN, DL,
birthdays, height, weight, color, shape, properties, career,
degree
7. I was wondering if one lost these would one still be the same
person?
8. I think so, but I could imagine some people might not agree with
me. They ask who are you, hmm I am a doctor; I am a pharmacist; I
am a teacher, an artist, a studentas you introduce yourselves in a
meeting, a class, a party.
9. Is that who you are?
10. To me these are layers of an artichoke; one acquires as many as
desired or as capable of during her lifespan, then once all the
layers revealed, is there an ultimate core or not depends on your
belief and culture.
11. If your lady stop seeing you because you lost your career, your
house or your Camaro, then perhaps these layers do define who you
are, hence sadly determine your happiness in life.
12. As for me, my name is Penelope, or Penny if the first one is
too mouthful for most people. I am also called Piglet, Pumpkin
Butt; pee pee head, buttercup. I weigh almost 90 lbs.
13. Hi !!!!!
14. All right, I know I know. I might not look as ladylike as this
one, or sophisticated as that one, or royal as some others.
15. but something about my clumsiness and my way with others that
make me ............me
16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. Human try to define me and my folks in
different ways, one of which I found bizarre is that they have all
of our birthday as 1/1/2001, with our owners last names while our
first name intact with a (K9) at the end when we need medications
from pharmacies.
22. So, It ends up looking like this:Penelope-(K9) Bettinger,
birthday 1/1/1
23. Speaking of pharmacy, I do know lots of my acquaintance taking
human anti-depression medications, which I do not approve most of
the time. If I were a doctor, I would write prescription like
this:
24. 25. 26. I am positive that they will
work so well. First, they
are home remedies, so they
wont mess up your serotonin,
norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Secondly, they are good stuffs, I would actually volunteer to get
sick to be drugged up on Ribeyebonexetine and Walkalopram.
27. I would be a very good K.M.D
dont you agree? However my
priority is to take care of
Mr.B and little BB juniors to
come; I wont be one, I might
give consultation on the side
for my close friends only.
28. So by now you are pretty familiar with Mr. B. I technically run
his house, and take care of him.
29. Mr B, together with his numerous flaws, is one of the most
wonderful human being.He will be a whole other discussion between
you and I
30. Mr. B
31. Getting to know me, you ought to meet Piquepenn and Twinkoflutt
my two wonderful friends from the backyard.
32. Backyard is my favorite place to hang out with friends
33. I wasnt so fond of Piquepenn at first as he always tries to
dive on me, startling the heck out of me. You would think birdies
sound beautifully. Not this one. He has these irritating high peak
short screeches. Scary at the same time.
34. I found that it was just Piquepenns way to get my attention. We
became very good friends
35. 36. Of course you wont see
much of Piquepennas he
was there on that
wall corner until
few minutes ago.
37. While Twinkoflutt is the most indecisive creature. She cant
never make up her mind. She always pauses for minutes, then, being
ADD, she jumps on other things.
38. 39. 40. Now, move on to another way to identify myself, what is
my religion? I cant speak for all pets, however in my humble
opinion, we are all Buddhism.
41. We dont reminisce; I am not sure ifbecause we have short term
memory or if we think past is past.
42. We dont worry about future; not sure because we dont have
control over it anyway (our owners somewhat do) or because its yet
to come.
43. And I am aware at times
that things
are not
always
there.
44. I love this onepoem by TNH a famous monk worldwide. I apologize
for changing his word tea to bone as real bones are such
delicaciesthat bring me true happinessand joy, just about as much
as tea does to him I am sure. Id like toshare with you here the
:bone poem.
45. Chew Your Bone(TNH)
Chew your bone slowly and
reverently,as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves -
slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future;Live the actual
moment.Only this moment is life.
46. My EKG?? Hmm nah, I sure hope not as if it were, I wouldnt be
here yapping away with you ! This is my happiness level analysis,
with 100 is happiest on the Y axis, 0 is suicidal.
47. Before you wonder why it fluctuates, Ill just have to explain
certain aspects about Mr Bs life. Hes my daddy, my whole universe.
What does he do for a living?
48. Here he is, running about his workplace like a headless chicken
on not even a very busy day, as he is a perfectionist.
49. I could never figure out why and how his schedule run itsway:
his work days and off days differ every week, yet repeat every
other week.
50. His company would probably never have on mind that this
schedule is indeed the key point to my happiness levels. You can
guess by now that Im depressed when hes working (12 hour days
mostly), and happy when hes off.
51. As I look at my happiness rollercoaster in the skinny bars, it
does look like a letter B if you tilt your head 90 degree to the
left !
52. So yes, my overall daily happiness level evolves around my
daddy B, repeat its cycle every two weeks, and thats how it looks
in a month.
53. 54. 55. So, I wonder one day what else do I do besides sleeping
89% of my time
56. I realize that I sleep a lot as you can tell. I can fall asleep
anywhere, anytime.
57. 58. 59. I eat a lot too! You probably figure by now what is my
favorite delicacy.
60. 61. As for house chores, I am tremendously productive with
vacuuming, not so much with laundries unless you consider me
jumping about on the neatly stacks of clothes Mr. B just folded is
helpful.
62. Vacuuming is fun !!
63. 64. 65. Mr. B calls this a shower, but I call it water playing
time, one of my favorite games
66. 67. And I think thats it for me. I hope you have some idea
about me by now. Why should you bother right?
68. Well because I am the silliest, most awesome, and sweetest K-9.
Visit me on Facebook and YouTube, I would love to have more
conversations with you there
69. My favorite quote at the moment is that if you are chasing your
dreams or your dreams chasing you (MP)
70. Disclaimer from my friend who help me made this possible
1-Any views or opinions presented in this presentation are solely
those of the author and Penny, and do not necessarily represent
those of Mr B.
71. 2-This is not in any way a present for Mr. Bs birthday.
WHY?
72. Theres so many things from little things, big things, to medium
size things surrounding a person to make his/her existence
possible: family, friends, the sun, the winds, the clouds, a
daffodil, a bird, a dog, a beautiful music note
73. So in my humble opinion, if theres
birthday presents, they should be given to
the persons closest dearest friends/family members/beloved pets, to
thank them
for taking such good care of that person,
for making another year of happiness,
peace and mindfulness possible.
74. But I guess it doesnt hurt to say:
75. happy birthday
BB
