At orientation, we were warned to NOT adopt pets in a foreign country. Don't feed strays, don't visit the pet shop....DON'T DON'T DON'T!
Well Rachel was the first to break that rule. She found a newborn cat that was nearly run over, hungry, and helpless. She took it in until she found a better home...but happened to get free vet care for it and now keeps it in her apartment. Xiao Hu and Rachel are a perfect match.
Next, Kevin adopts a stray dog that is sick and hungry. It goes to show how big his heart is. I wouldn't want to touch a dirty stray dog, but it touched Kevin's heart and now he has a furry friend.
Everytime I go to Minsyong I visit the pet store and play with the puppies. I know I'm not going to buy one because it's an extra responsibility that I'm not ready for. Bette was close to buying two 3 month old Chihuahuas the other day. That's a lot of work, but she misses her puppy from Singapore, so it made sense. She hasn't gotten them, and not sure if she still is going to.
Well today I got my case of puppy love. I was walking in the park and from behind a car came this thing in the dark - I screamed because it jumped out at me and at first looked like a lion cub. Then I looked back and it was a bouncing little puppy. So furry and cute. So I came back and let the puppy warm up to me before petting her. Well, one thing led to another and for the last half hour I was chasing her and rubbing her belly and playing with her. She's going to be a big dog, not quite sure what breed....but it's not like a little yorkie or anything. She seems healthy right now and might be owned already. I sure hope so...I'd hate to see her in a few months skinny and dirty with all the other street dogs. Perhaps I'll walk over to the park to find her and play with her often...but I can't adopt a dog so I wont' be able to bring her food. Just love.
