walking the dog by summerfield

walking the dog

this is one time when i wish i have a dog. i could have a good excuse to go out no matter that i am a senior. why, i would just have to choose a later time in the afternoon or early evening so that there's not a lot of people around. then again, i don't know anything about having a dog. the license fee, the insurance fees, the medical fees, as well as its food.

we did have a dog back in the old country. smelly, flea-ridden spot. that dog was a loyal pet but he was forever running away from me. and he would hide whenever i'd see him carousing with other dogs at the garbage pit, because he knew what i'd do to him. he could've been the only dog in the neighborhood who got bathed almost everyday. he would do his business away from our house because if i saw him, that's a guaranteed turn at the water pump, never mind the screaming neighbours washing their clothes. my mother would tell me dogs needn't have their behinds cleaned, it cleaned itself. pfft! even so, i'm not letting him sit around anywhere unless i've cleaned him good.

yes, i shouldn't have a dog.

belated posting for week 9 of the 52-week challenge. the theme was "pet".

taken from my 22nd floor apartment's balcony, getting bored of the scenery. but this dog walker showed up and with her red coat, why not?

perhaps one of those dogs on wheels that used to be quite popular as children's toys would be the best dog to have. no one could argue with needing to take it for a walk could they?

Hauntingly wonderful, that touch of red is precious

Nice pop of color. Yes, I've had dogs and every now and again the urge hits me. Then I remember when this is all over I can go out whenever I want and stay gone as long as I want and not have to worry about my dog.
