A stray cat hissed at Kerim the other day. He got shocked and nearly cried. Now, we only 'pet' stray animals from a distance. He says mommy cat, mommy dog, but doesn't reach to pet anymore. There is a gang of large stray dogs that live in my parents' neighborhood. They have been feeding them for years, so the dogs now regard them as 'own'. My sister says once you approach the neighborhood, they appear from nowhere and escort you right to the door. It's good considering that my sister and mom usually return home in the dark. The dogs have become our guards. They look scary, but are quite trustworthy.
My dad wants to get us a puppy. None of the house dwellers object.
Cats, bad . . . dogs, GOOD!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf dad will watch the puppy closely before it will shred 1000 things, most of them personal and precious as favorite slippers - go for the pooch! -)))
