上个周末是复活节,是长周末,是我三十岁生日,是我当狗妈妈的开始。我自诩为它妈,但是我心智估计跟这个六个礼拜大的小东西差不了好远。它天天扑过来耍我,我要看电视,我就回头冲它龇牙咧嘴的叫。
其实还未满两个月的小狗是不准转手的,但我买狗的这个老太婆很酷,她说所有事情都好商量。她公寓不准养狗她偏当养狗专业户,法律说小狗要八个星期才能卖她偏不。她说只要小狗脱离母奶就可以走了,这些硬性条条款款都没用。我把小狗抱在怀里,深表英雄所见略同。
拿到狗的那天我激动得马上写了篇日记。我日记是用英文写的,莫法,因为我一直看英文电影英文书,沦落到我现在只会讲四川话。我本来确实想翻译一下,但我实在懒得轰轰烈烈。

Today I met my mommy. She calls me “Toto” because she wanted to call me her favorite Japanese cartoon character Totoro, but ended up with a more practical solution – a shorter name that reminds the White people a famous dog in the Wizard of the Oz. I freaked out initially when she put me in that box. Oh that nasty box! Hell I put on a lot of fight against it. That’s when I knew I was given away. I was so upset that I instantly fell asleep again.
She woke me up, and put me down in a completely different house. It’s so spacious, seems almost endless. I didn’t know what to do at all. Everything scares me. Then she picked me up again and landed me in an incredibly comfortable bed – that’s where I am now. I love this fluffy bed. I love it! I love it! I love it!
I couldn’t wait to go to sleep again. I was exhausted today – being picked up over and over and over. I was still with all my brothers this morning, then Grandma picked me up, and then Mommy. They just wouldn't let me rest! Yeah there’s a “they” because there’s my Daddy too. He seems nice. He was very gentle to me. Mommy seemed impressed and happy about it.
They made me eat food, drink water, and kept putting me on the pee pad but wouldn’t allow me to play there. I don’t think they have a clue what they were doing. The nibbles were at first very dry, then they added too much water in it, and then they had to pour away the water and hand fed me some soft nibbles. They did this when I was in bed covered in blanket. I felt very cozy.
When the two of them stood by my bed, looking at me and waving me goodnight, I looked them back. I think, I’m in a good home now.
