I'm down with flu and sore throat after coming back from my CNY and Cameron holidays. It gets worse starting yesterday but I'm not taking MC cos next week is going to be a long holiday. Thought of waiting till next week but it seems impossible haha. I left office pretty early these few days and yesterday was slightly later. So after taking my shower and collapsed on my bed for a short nap (I know it's unusual to take a nap in the evening hehe), my Hon woke me up. Told me about a pup in front of our house and how the pup looked at him with sad pitiful eyes. I was up the moment he mentioned the word 'Pup'; and I wanted to just run down and check it out. Unfortunately I was too tired so I waited until just before dinner time.
I went outside and stood next to the gate, hoping to see the lil fella. I only heard a faint whimpering somewhere but nothing was in sight. So I guessed it (or shall I say 'she') must have been somewhere hidden. So I looked into the drain and found it sitting just at the edge of the inner part of the drain. How beautiful! So I went out and picked her up and out of the drain. She walked around happily and even walked into our compound. He (you know who!) chased the lil fella out saying that she might not want to leave the compound. I was furious but I said nothing. She stayed outside on the patch of grass and curled up, closing her eyes. My heart broke into nano pieces seeing that scenario. What would happen if it rains?
So I plotted my plans. I planned to bring her to my office if she's still there the next morning. And perhaps spend some money buying her decent food; since she's a lil bit scrawny. But today she was not there anymore. Hopefully her mother brings her to somewhere safe from mean people and destructive children!
Our society will never be the same as the people on the other side of the world. How troublesome can it be to save an animal and provide some food and maybe temporary shelter? May God bless the lil fella. Amitofo.
