Hitler, good vibrations, etc.

Yesterday at around dusk, I played with my dog, Hitler (a big ol' Rottweiler) and I was really glad to see him. There was something off about him, though. He let his tongue hang around the front of his snout even when he wasn't panting.

This morning, I learned that it wasn't actually Hitler, because the Rottie in the kennel was female. Initially, I thought that they moved him to the kennel at the back, but then one of the keepers in the house told me that he had died. I couldn't get myself to ask when and exactly how he died… I just felt kind of sad that I didn't even get to see the old boy one last time. *sigh*

Anyway, I just reconfirmed that I have this natural affinity with dogs.

Exhibit A: My dad's old dog used to snarl at my sister and not me.

Exhibit B: There was a time when I was walking on my way to work and there was a beautiful Rottie tied to a tree. Two guys went past the dog and the dog started barking like crazy at both of them. However, when it was my turn to pass, the dog just looked at me with cute, soulful eyes. I wanted to play with it, but I was running late. Besides, I didn't want doggie smell on my hands.

Exhibit C: Still-unnamed Rotties (at the house where I'm currently staying) who hasn't seen me before, never did bark at me. They even wanted to play!

Ah, good vibrations.

Going back to Manila on the 26th. If I can still take back the leaves I filed, I just might go to work on the 27th and 28th. Should be an interesting week.

Already got my Onitsukas! Funny thing about it is that I had this weird feeling that my brother would get the same style and color as Erik's (because they're about the same age and have the same taste). Lo and behold, he did. -_-; Erik and I are gonna be Onitsuka twins. Gah. This is why I specifically asked for a Mexico Tigress. *snarl* 

Oh and I also got my Studio 60 mug! *happy*
