When Sam, the youngest in our brood of five, surprised us by giving birth we didn’t mind much. We were used to puppies after all. Tammy, the oldest, gave birth to Sam and the other three. BUt there was something different with Sam’s brood. They were so cute, cuddly, and playful.
Especially Julian. He was my favorite of the four. I played almost everyday with him, gave him his first bath, took his first photo…and spoiled him to death at home. I remember he would fall asleep at around 9 in the evening then wake us up with his incessant barking at 2 in the morning. I would wake up then, open the door and he would run right through and follow me to our room. My parents scolded me for giving in to the puppy’s demands, but I liked spoiling him, never mind if I have to stay up late.
If only we didn’t have 5 dogs already… I’m sure we could have persuaded our parents to allow the puppy to stay. We can’t afford six dogs, five is already too much. My only consolation is that Julian now resides in our grandparent’s home in Calinan, where I could visit him on weekends. Still, I miss Julian’s antics…sooo bad.
