011: Have you heard the news? Bad things come in twos.
I'm doomed.
Okay, remember when I said I wanted a pet? And remember when I sorta said I wanted a baby croc? Well, about four hours ago I headed over to the pet shop Nee-san sent me directions to. Obviously, she didn't want me to get a croc because the pet shop was full of birds, kittens and puppies, most of them strays brought in from the pound.
I was going to walk away, until I saw this. And aren't they the most adorable things? I couldn't take all three so I chose the one in the middle--still thinking of a name. That's not all of it though.
I was getting ready to leave when the shopkeeper started arguing with his assistant about this really nasty puppy. It apparently kept fighting with the rest of the pups because it probably felt it didn't belong. So... I told the guy to let me have a look at it, and I know I shouldn't have.
Because there it was, all huddled up in the corner of its cage with a wet nose and a whiny howl.
Bottom line is I'm never going back to that pet shop again. Dude, I'm not a veterinarian. Seriously. But if you'd seen it, you would have caved too.
Now, the pup's nibbling on one of my shoes--scratch that, it's tearing up one of my shoes. And the bird is squawking like there's no tomorrow. Oh, and I forgot to mention; the only word it can say right now is 'baka'.
I have half the mind to name them Pain and Panic.
