Twins


Almost a year ago, I've attempted the impossible, to bring home a puppy... In our household, I am only allowed to bring home stray kittens, birds, fishes and other low maintenance animals.. and those that are not hazardous to one's health... My dad dislikes dog and whatever my dad dislikes, my mom would soon concede to as well... I brought home a puppy for hopes that if I brought it home without asking permission, they would settle with the idea since it is seldom that I would ask for something... Then, to my disdain, I was turned down and told to return the dog back to its owner... For hopes of salvaging the poor thing, I bought the dog and gave it to my special someone instead since I do not want the idea that I would part from something I really love...
I also do not like dogs but animals seem to have a different effect on me... Sooner or later, my fears would calmly subside and I would begin to care and nurture them... I would even cry if any of my pets would die...
About a month ago, I told my dad that I would adopt another in an extremely sweet manner (knowing me, this is not normal), hoping that maybe this time he would change his mind. But unfortunately, it was my mom who did not like the idea... This time, I gave up knowing that the next time I would own a puppy was when I would live in my own pad...
Today, I was in a state of R.E.M when I was awaken by mom yelling, "dali Candice may ahas!" I was in shock and fear that I woke up since I have never seen a snake in our house before. I jumped out of bed and dashed out of the room when right infront of my eyes, I saw my two sisters cuddling a majestic puppy... I was not sure if I was just dreaming... I stood there in awe and then I've realized that I must have misheard my mom... She must have said "dali Candice may aso..." What made things better was that it was not only one puppy but two that mama bought.... I stood in disbelief how such thing could happen and why the change of heart...They were not the most beautiful puppies in the whole world but it was enough for me to not trade them for anything else... I have so many plans for my two new doggy and God really does know how to surprise people in mysterious ways... :D
