Man's Best Friend

Recently, Papa and Mama are very keen on dogs. It's extremely weird to see Mama (who used to keep a distance between her and any furry animals) feeding Ally & Bobby, and snapping photos of Bobby while he pouts. The first thing they do when they wake up is to check if Ally & Bobby have woken up. Of course, Ally & Bobby do - I'm telling Papa and Mama everyday. Ally & Bobby are dogs, and dogs are the most alert animals. They will be woken even by the drop of a leaf. After dinner, Papa and Mama will talk to the dogs. Papa will ask Bobby: "Bobby, naughty boy, have you eaten well?". Bobby is getting more vitamin intake than we human do. Yesterday, Papa asked our domestic helper to mix half-boiled egg with Bobby's canned chicken mince so Bobby's hair would grow out fast and glossy. Used to be, Mama always sat a corner and let me busy reading all labels before I made my purchase at the pet shop. Yesterday morning when we took Ally for her grooming appointment, Mama looked like as if she wanted to buy the entire pet shop home!

Papa and Mama saw a pug when they went to a neighbouring country's pet shop last week and since then the word "pug" has never left our daily dinner conversation. Wikipedia wrote a pug is a toy dog breed of dog with a wrinkly face, and medium-small body. The word pug may have derived from the Latin word Pugnus (fist). Really, the Pug's face can look like a clenched fist! HaHa! Since they like the pug so much, I've decided this morning that I'll buy them the pug as an early X'mas gift. A "clenched fist" X'mas gift, this is really weird ;)

In pensioners' households, grandchildren and pet dogs are substitutes. Sorry my pun!
