It is nice to have animals at home! It gave me an unexplainable feeling.
I can vividly remember when we don't have one. Amor, my wife was against having a cat or a dog. So it was a surprise that one time there was a dog in our door step. He was "Pochie", an ugly cute pug which my wife brought from Batangas.
We have lots of dogs at one time - Whitey (Askal), Chuchay (Japanese Spitz) and Pochie. I was close to Whitey and Pochie. Pochie was mabantot! Ha ha ha. While Whitey was all joy every time she sees me.
I loved giving simultaneous bath to both Pochie and Chuchay. I used to put them on our marble table. While Whitey has all the time in the world to take a bath and the TLC from his Dad Noel.
It might be an animal instinct that a Pug wanted to make "love" with Whitey. However, he was not successful in many, if not all, occasions because of the difference in size.
My endearing love for Pochie physically stopped when he suffered a tragic accident. I can't count how many tears that flowed from my eyes. I truly love him until now!
I have not seen my sweet Whitey for quite sometime. She was so sweet that I was afraid that she might scratch my legs every time we meet. Though I was there, I don't come close to her. But I can hear her voice as if saying Daddy come to me and give me a bath and your TLC. I observed though that she bloated in size suddenly yet she remained a royal guard to our house. Then unusual heat suddenly stroke our city. We let her roam in our palace. I worked afar from our home. I don't know but I was restless that time that I decided to go home unscheduled. I arrived late at night only to find that my dear Whitey is lying on the ground. I stared at her and she stared back. I wake up early in the morning. She is gone as if she just waited to see me to say "Daddy you are here please give me your usual TLC". Indeed she just waited for me. Kuya Billy told me that Whitey's jaw might be locked because of the heat so she can't swallow the pill and water.
Today's arrival of Yuki brought excitement to me! Though I was and still am afraid to be licked by the dogs because of what was featured in Tiktok, I think the happiness brought by having her outweighs all the risks.
Yuki welcome to the family and take care of your sister Chuchay!
