Three Friendly Mutts.

Before our walk! Right outside our house!

Before our walk! Right outside our house!

My family and I where strolling on the old broken sidewalk with palm leaves swaying above me in the wind. It was hot, but I was enjoying my time when suddenly a dog with no owner joined us on our walk. Two more came along too. One had long curly fur, another had short thin black fur and the last one had short blond fur, but all were large.   At first I thought they would scratch and bite us, so I felt terrified because they were dirty street dogs.

The dirty street dogs! Curly is ahead, while Moe and Larry are across the street at the corner, after chasing cars.

When a car came by,  they ran after it until the car was far from us and then the dogs came back and surrounded us, one even bit the rim of the tire while the car was moving!  My dad said that all they wanted to do was protect us!  They wanted to join our gang.   Then I realized they were friendly! So they walked alongside us for about eight blocks.  One stopped to cool off and take a bath and drink from the dirty water on the street.  I thought it was gross, and I didn’t think he was getting very clean!  Anyways, they were still cute.  (We should have taken pictures of these moments, but my mom was in shock watching them!)

When we got to the main street, we went  into an art store and after we were done buying paper and markers, the dogs – all three of them – were waiting for us outside!  Then they followed us again.

Larry, Curly (up close), and Moe doing their business! P.U.!

The bad thing they did was they pee on the road and poo on the grass. P.U! I never want to see that ever again. They also kept chasing all the passing by cars and I was worried they would get run over.  It was so dangerous!

The good things they did was entertain us and protect us.

I enjoyed having animal companions on that summer walk. Especially in February! We named them Larry, Curly, and Moe from TheThree Stooges show.  And I thought the names Lola 1, Lola 2 and Lola 3 were good names too! P.S the dogs were all boys!

Oh how I loved Moe, Larry and Curly.  They filled my heart with joy by just rolling and dancing around! They filled my world with love and faith like cooks filling crumpets with chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmm! Chocolate. (so random)

They followed us across streets, along buildings, across parks and towards  a cab, my least favourite part of the story. We had to get into the cab and we left them while our cab drove away. So I felt a moral from this adventure. Sometimes you have to leave the ones you love behind.  I also learned that you can love something that might be dirty and and dangerous!!!  🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
