Tammy

....Tammy's gone.... When I stepped out of the van, I did not see Tammy bouncing out from under the drain to greet me as usual. I heard from my neighbour that the dog-catcher came this morning....Well surprisingly, I did not cry, in fact, I don't even feel like crying. The feeling is just....numb... you know.....like "Tammy's gone? Ohhh...I see.." But I kept on trying to imagine, how Tammy felt.... to know that death is only a few minutes, perhaps, a few seconds away...

Well, how would I describe Tammy? ...Tammy's a grateful and lovable stray.. Tammy became attached to me ever since I started feeding her. And so she chose to sleep outside my house, even when it's raining. My dad and I kinda attached some roof tiles to our front gate, as Tammy's roof you see, so she can have shelter underneath. Everyday after school, the minute I got out from the van, she'll jump out from the drain, run at high speed...followed by a sudden brake right in front of me,jump up...and place both her paws on my knees. And billy will always stare from inside the house...anger written all over his face haha, a sign of jealousy XD In the evenings, Tammy will walk behind me quietly while Billy and I walk round and round the neighbourhood. And oh my, whenever a jogger or other stray dogs walked pass, Tammy will change from a lovable stray into a ferocious dog, growling and showing a set of gleaming white teeth until whoever it is hurried away in fright. She's over-protective, but I really appreciate it =) Like Billy, Tammy's stubborn sometimes...she'll creep in quietly whenever we left the gates wide open and hide underneath my dad's car......until one of us discovered her. Chasing her out of the house is the funniest part. She'll roll around on the floor and make those pitiful whines...trying to convince me to let her stay. I'll warn her "don't make me..." and after a few more times, I'll grab the garden hose, point it at her and she'll run away quickly... I don't even need to turn on the tap, save water hahaha...

Guess that's all.....although she's just a stray, a stray that everyone looks down at, I'm still glad that she entered my life, although it's only for a short while.....Tammy will be kept......in my memories forever ;)

p/s: I've been blogging alot this month don't you think?? I'll tell about CF lunch, AFTER my exam. haha guess this will be the last entry until after exam...
