Dogs as
Pets  Actually I
think dogs don't make good pets. Correction. Dogs make
the best pets. Why do I say that? I do not want to be
labeled as one of those "creepy dog people" and
I will not tell you that my 101 dogs are
super-intelligent and able to communicate with me better
than most people. This is not true. I don't even have 2
dogs let alone 101. I have one. His name is Fred. Rather
odd name for a dog. But well, I was somehow inspired to
call him Fred. Don't ask me how or why. Actually he is
quite peculiar. Why are dogs the best pets? They do not require constant care: one does not have to go home at lunch to let them out, one can leave them for the weekend as long as there is enough food in their bowl. They are clean. They do not smell (although if you try to have over 5 dogs living in your studio apartment, there will indeed be an odour). They are generally not needy. They do not steal your cigarettes. Occasionally they steal your socks and bring them to a cosy corner. True story: On night, my cousin came to a wake and he took off his shoes and socks to participate in the prayer ceremony. suddenly a stray dog came and grab one of his socks and took off to goodness-know-where. Must have thought his sock smell good maybe like cuttlefish. That's the last he saw of his sock. |
