Sheep
A
ball made hurriedly its way under my Sunday gown and before I had a chance
to do anything (with flat nose and nostrils trembling nervously), it stretched
itself violently forward. "
What's that?" don Pedrito said, disappearing almost completely behind
a banner. "
My sheep, don Pedrito". I was overwhelmed with laughing before I could
think of the fear of the poor little thing. "
What kind of sheep is that, all I see is a dog", he muttered and drew
himself back. It was true, he was white, small and very fluffy, a very
tender dog ready to protect me from anybody in the world. "
He doesn't harm anyone", I said very quickly, "he's just curious and he
saw me speaking to this direction, you know..." Don
Pedrito showed the tip of his nose from behind the banner and Sheep barked
curtly and hoarsely as he usually does when he wants to say: "I'm so afraid
of you that I'd rather bite you". Don
Pedrito disappeared quickly as lightning and I could hear him grumbling
for a while...while my browser was furiously loading a new page. " Where
do you take me?" "I take you to other sheep lovers", the little man seemed
to say, as he had already reached beyond the background. Sheep yelped
displeased and he jumped from my arms, making for the bedroom. That was
his classical way of showing his disapproval. Usually, I would stay on
the Internet at hours when Sheep is dreaming peacefully under my blanket. "
You might see at least what kind of names
they pick for their animals in the civilized world" he muttered as I realized
he had already calmed down and was beginning to laugh at his own fear.
"You
may talk about him and about any other animal, did you know? You may learn
news or things about breeding them or what you should be avoiding. There
is even the Web pages ring
of the beloved animals. And dogs
have their special ring. You
may learn about famous
dogs or you can order toys and food
for them online. However, the most useful thing for a person like you
who lives relatively far from any civilized vet clinic
is to try to become a good doctor
for your animal. You
may read Dr. Roen's articles on dogs
and cats or other articles by specialized people, as those in the virtual
vet clinic of Dr. Jin's.
There is even the SMLDOG-L
(Smalldog Listserv), let alone other smaller chats that you may find on
the dog-faqs
list. And you may obviously make relations to the ancestors
of your barking thing. Maybe
the most important thing is to understand something of the...err...Sheep's
behavior. You
have sites where you can talk
about that, although when it comes to practicing, it is better to practice
on an animal
that wouldn't suffer. Nevertheless, and the little man drew back a
little more, as he had heard the beat of the dog's tail under the table,
it would be possible to be attracted to other pets, wouldn't you interested
in birds and cats?"
