What does did your pet do every day that makes you love him or her just a little bit more?

Well, she did quite a few things that made me feel that she is extremely loving & loyal and that made me feel special and made her look extremely special in my eyes and in the eyes of others. And it was during the years 2003 to 2005, which also happens to be her final years of life. During this time I was working for a call center in 2003 and then I moved to starting working for Idea in January 2004. During these years I usually worked late evening or late night shifts, that usually saw me reaching home between 2:30 am to 4am or post 12:30 am with Idea and that meant that I would reach home via the company cabs.

When I came home from work post midnight, anytime between 2:30 am to 4:00 am, as I reached the gate in the company cab, Shawny would be waiting there for me. Every time, without fail, at the gate. With a look on her face that would be either “I am been waiting for you all day, hurray that you are back” and in her later years “Finally, where have you been all this time, young man?” My parents would wonder how on Earth did Shawny know that it is my cab that is coming towards the gate as it usually is a different vehicle and at slightly different times.

But she astonished my family and relatives as, whenever were also up at those time, they would say they can see Shawny come to the front of the door and lie down there and ignore any other vehicle – like a truck or a bus or cars that passed by – but she would know which is my vehicle and she would get up and slowly make her way down the steps and walk to the gate exactly in time for me to reach and she would be wagging her tail to welcome me so I can pet her before I came in.
