Living at
Village West subdivision(4)/Carlos Pueblo
From Del
Monte Dr., I would make a right turn on Woodland Park again to
enter Inwood
lane and subsequently following a curve to Briar Rose lane.
Usually, I
would run into Mr. Wang, a friend was at the same senior high
School in
Taipei, Taiwan. We have had so much discussion of politic and
some local
Taiwanese community affairs. Between these two streets, I
have run
into several neighbor friends because of walking and dogs.
Scout is a
black dog residing almost at the end of Briar Rose, usually would
sit inside
of the gate. When I pass by and whistle, he would come out from
the back
yard to greet me, and then return. His owner, a young man with two
young kids,
tells me that Scout knows me well and responses to my whistle
even inside
the house. It is so touching that some time I must make a special
route
arrangement to pass by his house in order to avoid his long waiting.
This occurs
to Edda as well. Edda lives up to the street; however, her owners
Would bring
her to walk often especially during the weekend. Edda is a girl
friend of
Hendrix, the gentleman dog on Del Monte, yet Edda is more
affectionate
to me. She can haul with a straight neck up, like a wolf, when
three
neighbor dogs are barking to the passer by. My old dog Charlie could
do the same
hauling when fire engine or police ambulance went off. Some
dogs can do
it when it is a full moon, at least it is on the movie.
The three
annoying dogs are across the street from Edda, one is Hecule,
second one
is Chrystal, and the third one is Sherri. Oh, boy, they can
bark like a
security alarm affecting several blocks away. The owner, a
county
sheriff, tells me that all of them are very nice. Crystal lost her
one leg from
an accident. I greet them every day by calling their names
individually.
Another
little dog is Coco, a small dog next door, and she is my earlier
acquaintance
when we moved to the neighborhood. Her owner is a
Chinese
American who speaks excellent English. I must also mention
Caesar, a
short legs puppy, whose owner is a physician in downtown
area. I got
to know the owner and her mother while walking in the
morning.
Before they moved away to downtown area, I got an opportunity
to walk him
for one or two blocks. He did not really like exercises yet he liked
to play, and
would stay at the backyard gate responding to my whistle.
I have a
conclusion why I enjoy so much to have dog friends because that
I need the
friendship, a simple friendship while the dog can provide such.
