UFO in Texas? Watching Larry King live made me check twice if
I'm still in my own planet. It seems things going on for the past few days are
just too bizarre for my brain to munch it.
Why not? Just almost a week ago, I've been watching in TV a
special feature of a dog counting (answering addition and multiplication
actually) and turning on and off lights, mice raising flag accompanied by the
Philippine National Anthem, and a pig playing basketball!
Yeah! I saw them all with my own eyes. So, what separates now
human beings from animals? It seems that they have this "memory" also
right in their tiny brain. Cool!
I should have tried to teach my three dogs back in Naga with
these tricks. Oh, they did learn something from me. I would place coins in the
pocket of my clothes and I would intentionally let them roll on the floor while
changing. Bogart (the eldest dog) would choose five peso coins and using his
paw return them back to where I was standing. It became our daily routine and
what a lot of fun watching him chase the coins and return them back to me.
Animals are actually very sensitive also to feelings of the ones
taking care of them. Every time I would get sick, I usually fell asleep dead
tired on the bed and woke up with the two dogs on the floor with sad faces
while sighing and the closest to me, Bogart, would kiss my toes. Then he would
put his head on my feet caressing as if offering comfort.
Sad to say, they are fierce dogs because they don't go out of
the house. Nobody can go near them except me and Ma. It's amazing how they can
alter their mood whenever there are visitors at home.
From that ferocious look ready to kill to that utter
surrender with me while we roll playing on the floor. They love sleeping in
air-conditioned room also and they hate veggies. They don't like left-over
foods either. I miss them now.
It's a regret I have to end this blog in a sad note. The
world of animals is also the most commonly abused. We destroy their habitat and
robbed them with their rights to live in this planet.
Just tonight, animals have been featured again...not those
who make tricks but 29 cats massacred in a well-known village. You've read it
right; these cats were brutally killed by gun shots in the head. The murderer
made sure they won't be alive. To ease some who remain alive from sufferings
they were given injection to let them go with less pain.
Who would
think of ending the lives of those innocent cats? Only a human being with a
brain and heart smaller than animals. May those cats haunt him forever!
