The title sounds quite ironic. Didn't clouds make the sky look dimmer? But I wasn't talking about the clouds in the sky. Despite the clouds being the sky's work of art, I have my own set of clouds running about in my home.

The quote, "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole" felt unreal until I found my own clouds. A pair of blue-brown eyes looking up to me. And I knew that I would give the world to them if I could.

I used to just see dogs as cute little creatures with adoring eyes. I would even dislike strays. I was quite a bitch back then. But my clouds changed that perspective. Every dog I see would remind me of my clouds and my heart would always go to them.

It takes two wet noses and eight white paws for me to know what happiness felt like.

Life would have been hard and different if it weren't for my clouds stuck by my side. I would never regret missing events just to stay home and accompany them. Waking up everyday has always been a delight knowing that they'll be there waiting with their tails wagging and staring at me with a slobbery smile.

My clouds accepted me wholeheartedly without an ounce of judgment on their faces. Seeing them grow up from small floofs to grown clouds made my heart only grow bigger for them, that despite them being all grown up now, they are and will always be my little clouds.
