Wang-wang
Hot 2 |
Mother lives by herself in our old house in my hometown since my elder sister married. Thinking mother may feel lonesome and sometimes may be frightened to some extent, especially at night, my sister sent a little dog in a shoe-box to mother some day. It was only about one month old at that time. When I went home not long after it got to mother 's house, I saw that little  creature . He had yellowish white fur and looked so small that I could have to say he was no larger than a kitty, however, downy and cuddly. Mother found a piece of cotton pad for him to lie about and asked spoonfuls of goat milk from my neighour every day to feed him. I named him Wang-wang, a common name for dogs. From then on, mother has being kept him for years, and he may be the only one who accompanies mother all day long these years. Now he has become a big and much stronger dog and a responsible house-guard and seems kind. He would bark violently as any stranges approach to the gate but never bites any one. Mother evalates of him to me: what Wang-wang can do is to bark and scare people who come to me. He dare not bite any people, but just shout at them to remind me someone is coming. Mother may be out sometimes, Wang-wang would sit near the door for hours waiting for mother's appearing. He would bark at me, too , and waving his tail happily and running and jumping around me though he might have not seen me for months. Here is a picture of Wang-wang. He was tied. I once asked Mum why Wang-wang was tied. Mum told me. Our next-door neighbor's chincken flow over the wall and wandered in our yard to look for food. Wang-wang was angery at that . He chased after it and killed it. In spite of mother's apology, the neighbor was resentful. One day when mother got home and found there was blood in Wang-wang's neck, she touched it, a tuft of the hair fell. It was a new scar. Mother was sad and applied medicinal powder on the it.Later, someone else told mother how it had happened. Besides that, there are dog-dealers in the village from time to time who drive their tri-cycles purchasing dogs and sell the dogs to butchers. They also steal dogs if it is possible. To prevent Wang-wang's being hurt, mother made her mind to tie Wang-wang at home. “Why not release him ever some period of time? ” I advised mother. "He is too clever. Once I untied him, he ran away immediately as he saw the reins in my hand, though he might keep bouncing around me althel time." mother said.

- Pet is a good companion, but I think your mother hopes that her children can often come to visit.

- My mother lives alone since my father passed way in 2015. Even if there are two dogs and many chickens at home, I feel she is still lonely. Because, I still don't have that ability to buy a house now or even some years later, so I always feel guilty to let her stay in our hometown. As the children, I gradually find that it is not that easy to plan parents' future life when they are growing older.
