After the trauma of having my dogs die due to different reasons which I will not elaborate for fear of having extreme sniffles while i'm alone tonight, I still want another dog. But my house is not the ideal place to have one, so the issue of whether to get a dog or not is still up in the air.
Although I can't say I don't have pets. I do, they just don't belong to me, but they get under my skin in a good way. They belong to my neighbors but I consider myself a "minority shareholder" due to their close proximity to the house. As of the moment, I have four.
There's this dog we used to call Pet, who is actually named Kim because he is handicapped in the leg and in Cebuano that's called "Kimpang". He eats all our leftovers and quarrels with Alarm the rooster, because apparently Alarm wants to peck on the doggie treats, as well.
The other one is a goat I call Goatee, just tied outside my bedroom window. He keeps on bleeeing 24/7 and he sounds so cute but I bet he's just lonely coz he doesn't have another goat to talk to, just the dogs and a rooster. I wonder if they understand each other. I really hate thinking about the day when he will be served stewed on a dinner table somewhere. :'(
The third one is a rooster who I named Alarm, just roosting beside Goatee. He likes to tease Kim by pecking on some bits and pieces of rice kernels and meat bones. Kim is greedy and he doesn't like to share the treats with Alarm. Alarm gets agigated when all the dogs start barking. He's my alarm clock and I think he's a fighting cock so I always pray he doesn't die or get injured in a fight.
The fourth one isn't owned by neighbors, and he lives within the walls of our back area so I consider him inclusive of the apartment rent. He's a tuko, and I was told he's worth 200 grand. I like him to stay within the property because he gobbles up all the stinky, fuckin' roaches.
So while the issue of having a dog or not is not resolved, I still have these 4 darlings to love, albeit in a distant manner. No cuddling!
