So does he bite?

Sunday, July 30, 2006

I get asked that question quite a fair bit by friends and passerbys who get drawn in by Rebel's natural good looks.

It depends, I answer.

On what? They ask.

His mood, I reply.

Rebel either likes you, or he doesn't. He doesn't practise free love. He doesn't acknowledge the advantages of good PR skills. I am what I am, now take it or leave it. That is his motto. Then again, dogs don't get judged as easily as humans do.

I envy him. It's easy for Rebel to keep it real. He doesn't need to be wary of other dogs who may wag their tails in front of him, and bite his the moment he turn his back. He doesn't need to need to put on a smile or be forever labelled as rude, arrogant, and whatnot. He is only answerable to his owner - me, and nothing else really matter.

What a contrast it is to our lives. Everything seems to matter to us. What do I wear today? Do I need to wish someone I don't like Happy Birthday? I think I should. Oh god they just had lunch with her and now they're calling her a bitch? I thought they were her friends. Ok, so what do I do now? What if what I'm doing is wrong? But if I wait for a confirmation, am I gonna be deem as slow?

Like I said, I envy Rebel.Dogs don't get judged the same way humans do.

But lucky me. Rebel doesn't judge me too.

Here's Rebel and his pride. ;)

    hi there.

    i've been following your rebel's saga for quite some time but this is my first time commenting on this blog.

    rebel is simply adorable. i don't have any pets at the moment (been looking for a dog but nothing seems to suit me or catch my fancy) and the more i read about rebel, the more i've come to appreciate chihuahuas.

    Hi stranger.

    Am flattered that Rebel has a fan. I'm sure that bugger's flattered too. As a matter of fact, he's licking his balls right now, probably hoping to flaunt them at you in their full polished glory least you meet.

    You should take your time to look for a dog. It's love at first sight, really. Hell, the dog you fall in love with could be a fugly chowchow and you won't care less what others say.

    Like people would always make fun of how small Chihuahuas are, and you need to put up with people saying crap like "Oh so Paris Hilton!" or "Hello Tinkerbell!"... but these little mutts are one of the smartest breeds amongst dogs. And they operate like cats - they leave you alone when you need your space, and they have shitloads of attitude. So if that suits your personality, you should get one.

    Get a female one, we'd hook up. ;)

    Don't blame me for being forward, I'm getting sick of Rebel humping my leg!
