A Dog

Am watching Bolt now on xunlei. Suddenly I feel like I want to have a dog again, although not necessary a super dog. Wait, Bolt is not one, wrote this half way watching.

In my memory, I have had 4 dogs before. The first one was a mixed breed, a very loyal watch dog. Unfortunately one day when I was back home on a school bus, I saw my mum and sis crying at the front gate... she was knocked down by a car... the whole family was very sad for a long period and my mum decided not to have a dog again.

The second one was a Shih Tzu. When I was 16, a friend who didn't know how to take care of a pet bought it and tied it outdoor all the time. It was suffering until finally one day my friend decided to give it away. Without my mum's permission I brought it home and had a hard fought to keep it in the house. She's very smart and brought our family a lot of happy moments. Every night she'll jumped up to my bed and if I locked the room, she'll scratch the door begging me to let her in. 2 years later when first time in my life I moved away from home to go the uni, my mum decided to give it away as she has got no time to take care of it despite of my strong objection...

After many years, I graduated and started my first job in JB. My mum moved into the new house in BP and one night some god damn Indon broke in and robbed the house. It was a new development and the area was quiet so I decided to get a watch dog. Went to SPCA for a look around, there was a quiet Rottweiler who looks friendly but certainly I didn't want to take the risk which it might hurts my mum. Next to the it was a mixed breed dog which keep barking and challenging the Rottweiler. It looks like the first dog we had so I decided to give it a new home. She did a good job for few years as she hates Indon. However she was afraid of fire crackers and dissappeared one night.

The fourth one was a Shih Tzu when I was in KL but that was a stupid story which I don't wish to repeat.

It's a huge responsibilites to keep a dog. They need our company too. That's the reason why I am not prepared to have one. I still haven't find a base yet. I will definitely keep a dog when I settle down and live with the family.

By the way, finish watching the movie while writing this, brought me some laughter on one of the coldest day since I came to London.
