When my wife went out to get the newspaper this morning, a neighbor from down the street – an older disabled man – was walking his dog as he does every morning. My wife said “good morning” and asked “how’s your little friend?” He smiled, then said, “It’s his birthday. He’s 11 today.” A man and his dog – two friends, always.

Thanks Warren,

Nice post, good photo as always. I really enjoyed the article. I’ve never had a dog myself, but I see that they are so faithful and clever. The fear of losing these loyal creatures doesn’t let me keep one, since their lives are definitly shorter than ours.

Hi Revilla

Thank you so much for your story about the dogs when you were little.

I am very sorry to learn about the sad story about your dog and puppies.

If you have time to read my story above about dogs and cats in my life when I was little, you will find that I love dogs very much but I was prepared to kill my neighbour’s dog because he murdered my first dog and was going to strike again on my second dog.

People who never have dogs in their life would not understand the feelings of dog owners.

Please tell us more stories when you have time.

Best Regards

Betty

We had dogs when I was child, thirty some years ago. We raised them outside of house on the purpose of keeping our house from buglers’ invasion. One of female dog we had get pregnant and she delivered cute puppies ( I can’t remember whether they all survived at that time) and we looked after them day after day more carefully than ever. Three of those are given away to my neighborhood or relatives and two puppies live at our house. I fed and walk them after school almost every day. However, one summer day, those two puppies died from eat poison that village office workers have spread in the concealed. We all sad on their death and buried them near home. After that event, the mother didn’t eat anything but sleep inside a kennel or wander around where her babies buried. The mother, in the end, was dead from same cause that her baby dogs had. I still remember her sad face after losing her children and how I felt of maternity love.

Hi! I like all movies on dogs like “Beethoven”, or policeman dogs, or those with dogs from the North Pole.

I have not known that “to babysit” is and verb. I know only the noun “babysitter”.

Jameson is a wonderful dog and of course, and the Red Square photo. Thank you.

Hi! I have just read the article “Wonder Dog”. Difficult to translate and the title. I wonder, wonderful…
I think it’s about a miraculous dog, not my ordinary dog. I have seen only “salvamont” dogs (save people in the mountains) – big Saint Bernards -or seeing – eye dogs.
Never a service dog. I think we don’t have a service dog agency. I now understand that it is very useful.
It is miraculous for people with disabilities. All mothers , alcohol consumers, should know that children can be born with some exposure to fetal alcohol, with disability or mental illness.
I understand the boy’s love for his wonder dog.
I think everyone of us feel relaxed when we are with a peer who doesn’t criticize us, never feels disappointed in us or embarrassed by us.

And the agency name is funny but cute: 4 Paws… Nice and endless topic. Thank you.

Best wishes,

Tania

As promised, I read about your country too, and I found it quite interesting.
My first question for you is where are you from? South Korea? Or North Korea? I learnt that these two are different states that have their own territories and laws…I learnt that in the past in the University, but I have forgotten it completely.

Then, I was surprised by the variety of food that you have, Kimchi, Bulgogi, bibimbap…and many more. All of them names that are difficult to pronounce for me. Pls tell us what your favorite is. Regarding education, I found that currently South Korea ranks as third best in the world in science education. Another interesting thing that I found out was the national sport of Korea, it`s not Football or basketball or anything like that, it is Taekwondo!

All of this, tell us how different each part of the world is, but also that we all in some manner look for the same goals, prosperity and a good future for the generations to come.

It´s really nice to know that you spent some time reading about my country, I would also like to know more about yours, so today I´ll read about Korea…and I will let you know my questions?.
Regarding my country, the most valuable thing that you´ll find if you come to visit us, is our people, here you feel like you´re at home, also you can find interesting touristic attractions all over the country, beautiful beaches, great food, etc…SO do not hesitate to make a trip to Colombia if you have the means!!!!

Hi Jesús

Thank you for your good words. I have always enjoyed reading your comments as well. They always have good meanings, and always encouraging.

Thanks to you, I have looked up the Wikipedia to find out more about your country, Colombia. It is such an amazing country.

I have enjoyed the reading immensely.

In fact, I have always enjoyed putting down my thoughts on papers. I am glad to hear that you enjoy my comments.

Truth to be told, I wish my English was much better when I was younger. I could not make my lecturers understand my essays last time and I could not achieve good marks for them.

If I can turn the clock back, I would like to rewrite my essays to see if I can get better marks.

Thanks again for your encouragement.

Best Wishes

Betty

Hi Peter

I am so happy to hear that you plan to visit Hong Kong.

Welcome to this crazy city of Hong Kong. I will be happy to have a coffee with you since it is on you. You are so generous. Now I understand why you are so popular.

The thing is, when you are in Hong Kong, you will not want to stay in the hotel and have a coffee with an old woman. You want to go out and see all the crazy things and places during your visit here. You will never have enough time to see what you want to see in this beautiful city.

However, if you have spare time when you are here, I will be most delighted to have a chat over a coffee with you. But please remember that I cannot speak English that well. I may have to type on the keyboard to make you understand me. Funny, but true.

Look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong.

Best Wishes

Betty
