Do I have any pets???


At the present moment, I don't really have any pets that I can call my own. We do have three dogs but they are more like the family type of dog and they spend all of their time outside. As a matter of fact I have never even touched them.

My home is a townhouse, and we do not have a yard, but across the street we own a piece of land. My mother spends time there taking care of the trees she planted and caring for her flowers. She often brings me roses in a jar and places them on a bookcase beside me. This is a real treat because I don't go out into the garden often.

I have had two dogs that I loved very much.  Before I was paralyzed, I had the first dog of my very own. It was a cute little fluffy dog that my mother gave to me. Mom knew I wanted a puppy so much, and I still remember that night when mom came into my room. It was late at night and I was actually sleeping and I felt something soft touching my hand. I opened my eyes and saw that little puppy and I grabbed it and held it close to me. Soon my new pup and I were almost asleep, but I just could not sleep until I found out where the puppy had come from. When I raised my head my Mom was standing there laughing at me.  She said that if I promised to take care of it she would let me keep the puppy. So, I promised immediately

After that night I have a dog of my own, her name was Jumbo, Her old owner named her Jumbo and I didn't want to change it, even though it did not suit such a cute little puppy, so it stayed the same. I fed her, washed her all by myself and took care of her. Maybe not as much as I had promised mom but I loved my little Jumbo. Then one day a car hit Jumbo and I lost her. My sister and I cried so much. Even now as I write this story tears are running down my face, lol.  I miss her so much.

After my accident, my father came home with another puppy. I stayed at home alone during the day and he wanted me to have some company. I named her Puinun. I did not know it but Puinun's Mother was named Puifai, a strange coincidence I thought.

I loved Puinin more than Jumbo because I had her so much longer. She was such a cute dog. She had a beautiful fluffy tail, fur so white, a pink nose like her skin and Puinin had red colored eyes. She was an albino.  She also had an unusual habit. If we did not pay attention to her, she would act sick, her legs would shake and she would not be able to walk properly, and keep falling down. However, the second we would play with her she was back to normal.


My mother once told me that before I was born she had a dream about two white fluffy dogs. One of them would come to her but the other would not. I think I was the dog that went to my mother and my Puinun was the other. I feel we were twins in our past lives, ha ha ha.

I lost Puinun in the same manner as Jumbo, another car accident. This time I did not cry, I don't know why. But I think of her lying in front of the fan beside my bed and me touching her fur. This is the time when I miss her so much and the tears come to me, just as they are now, lol.

That is the story of the dogs that I loved the most. Puinun had many puppies and a few people have given me dogs as well, but I will never love them as much as I did my Jumbo and Puinun.
