飼っている犬がメスなので、女の子っぽい訳ですみません・・・


● 犬の十戒


Author Unknown 作者不明

1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.

私の一生は15年ほど。
その間、ほんの少しの間でも、あなたと離れる事は苦痛で仕方ないの。
私を飼う前に、それを忘れないで。

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

あなたが何を望んでいるのか、理解するのには時間がかかるかもしれないわ。

3. Place your trust in me-it's crucial to mywell-being.

私を信頼して。
それだけで、私は幸せなの。

4. Don't be angry at me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have only you.

私に長い間怒りを感じ続けたり、罰として、檻に閉じ込めることはやめて。
あなたには、仕事や、友達や、趣味、色々なものがあるでしょう?
でも・・・私にはあなただけしかいないの。

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when its speaking to me.

時々私に話しかけて。
あなたの『言葉の意味』は理解はできないかもしれないけれど、
私に話しかけてくれる、あなたの『声』はわかっているのよ。

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.

あなたがどんな扱いをしようと、私は絶対に忘れることは無い。
それを常に気にかけて扱ってね。

7. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand but that I choose not to bite you.

私を叩いて叱ろうとするのなら、思い出して。
私にはあなたの手の骨すら砕く歯があるけれど、あなたを噛まないって決めてるって事を。

8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.

「なんで言うこと聞かないの?!」
「なんてわがままなコなの?!」
「なんでそんなにのろまなの?!」

そんな風に叱る前に、自分自身に問いかけてみて。

ちゃんとご飯あげていた?
太陽の照りつける場所に、長時間放置していなかった?
歳を取って、心臓が弱っているんじゃないの?

9. Take care of me when I get old; you, too, willgrow old.

あなたが歳を取る様に、私も歳を取るの。
その時もちゃんと面倒見てね。

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch it, or, "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if you arethere. Remember, I love you.

私はいつか、あなたより早く天国へと旅立ちます。

その時に
「見ているのが辛いから」とか「私の見ていないところで・・・」
なんて、哀しいこと言わないで・・・。

あなたが傍に居てくれれば、それが辛い別れだとしても、私の苦痛はやわらぐの。

そして、これだけは忘れないで。

私はあなたのことをずっと愛してるって事を。

● 虹の橋 -Rainbow Bridge-

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends
so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and
our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing:
they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver.
Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into those trusting eyes,
so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

● 虹の橋のたもと - AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE -

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge,
there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm Spring weather.
Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.
Some of them here by the Bridge are different.
These pets were beaten, starved, tortured, and unloved.
They watch wistfully as their friends leave one by one,
to cross the bridge with their special person.
For them there is no one, no special one.
Their time on earth did not give them one.
But one day, as they run and play,
they notice someone standing by the road to the bridge.
This person wistfully watches the reunions of friends,
for during life, this person had no pet.
This person was beaten, starved, tortured, and unloved.
Standing there alone, one of the unloved pets approaches,
curious as to why this one is alone.
And as the unloved pet and the unloved person get nearer to each other,
a miracle occurs,
for these are the ones who were meant to be together,
the special person and the beloved pet
who never had the chance to meet while on Earth.
Finally, now, at the edge of the Rainbow Bridge,
their souls meet, the pain and the sorrow disappears,
and two friends are together.
They cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
