Not very imaginative, I know, but we need all the Indonesian practice we can get!<BR/><BR/>Children sometimes follow me here, but they're usually shouting "Mister!!" or, if they're more linguistically accomplished, "Lady!!!" If any of them start showing up at the dinner table on a regular basis, I'll start to worry.<BR/><BR/>I like the documentary, though as a journalist and smartypants I have to point out that the world's first 4-star hotel for pets is in Kuala Lumpur. I want to do a story on it one of these times when we're makig a visa run. Maybe you should take Jackson there someday?Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218984943813920951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-1143835683786205202006-04-01T03:08:00.000+07:002006-04-01T03:08:00.000+07:00what a great old dog... does he have a name yet?s...what a great old dog... does he have a name yet?<BR/>so, you've already got a job, an almost house, a dog... if 2.5 children start following you up and down the street i think you may be in a very special episode of the twilight zone. <BR/>re: your dog - street animals always make me sad, but there is something very honorable about the ones who seem to be "making it" on their own. like a bad bootstraps analogy for homeless pets. imagine a documentary about third world homeless street animals juxtaposed against US pets of the wealthy, who have designer clothes, therapists and their own cemeteries. <BR/>Name your dog!<BR/>-mAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-1143805516259857762006-03-31T18:45:00.000+07:002006-03-31T18:45:00.000+07:00Our dog seems to live in a yard full of skinny chi...Our dog seems to live in a yard full of skinny chickens, actually. When it rains he's got lots of shelter. I haven't ever seen him get love from humans, though. He seems to be in a special world of his own. I imagine he's had a hard life, but he's had at least one or two great loves. He reminds me a lot of the Velveteen Rabit, with patches of missing fur and a few scars. He's stiff and obviously elderly, but he's not limping. Though it's true that Muslims have to wash their hands seven times if they touch a dog's saliva, I suspect the rules are not strictly enforced among children. There's plenty of them around, and I bet the dogs and kids occupy the same little spaces here. He's got the biggest pack a dog could hope for; one that gets replenished constantly.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609890401209451433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-1143743460206204982006-03-31T01:31:00.000+07:002006-03-31T01:31:00.000+07:00Hey Trish ))As WiLSoN, I appreciated the story of ...Hey Trish ))<BR/><BR/>As WiLSoN, I appreciated the story of the dog...and the cats..and the big picture....but for some reason fail to see any humor in the situation (not that you intended any). It's a jungle out there, and you're right, the dogs should have homes. Some folks are easily amused, I guess. Good luck with your classes!<BR/>- WWiLSoNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303633561299364743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-1143730283825270892006-03-30T21:51:00.000+07:002006-03-30T21:51:00.000+07:00hahaa! i'm streaming tears of joy as i read your o...hahaa! i'm streaming tears of joy as i read your observations... these feral dogs straddle the wild/domestic boundaries with hilarious results. it seems. have you ever fed this doggy? this seems like a great partnership. does he know you exist? hahaa, brilliant trish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
