My little "daughter" Kwan Yin (along with my boyfriend Wallace) will be leaving today after a two-week sojourn. I will miss them both terribly.
Walking a dog every couple of hours or so is a pain, I admit, but there are definite fringe benefits. I think I got to know my neighbors better in the past two weeks than in the past five years through the intervention of our puppy dog. Who can resist a puppy? Not many in this neighborhood.
I wonder if those neighbors know that Kwan Yin pooped in the majority of their yards? That's all right, I picked it all up. And the pee-pee? It's full of nitrogen, which is good for growing things. That's my justification, anyway.
Of course, I've gotten to know much of the garbage of my neighborhood (most of it, according to Kwan Yin, edible) as well. Which has given me an opportunity to clean it up.
I guess, with the dog gone, I'll return to my monkish ways. Or maybe I could get one of those Japanese virtual doggies. I would just have to figure out how to take it for a walk through my neighborhood...
