Brownie and Midnite's Blog: Mid-Autumn Festival 2005

Brownie Roo and Midnite

Mongrels are a dime a dozen here in Asia and many people are shocked when they find out we have two and incredulous when they realise we actually do love them and they share our lives in every way. You see, Mongrels are meant to be guard dogs, outside dogs, dogs you feed scraps to, dogs you never need to pat or say anything kind to, dogs you never bring to the vet, dogs you are never ever supposed to love, dogs who are destined to live and die alone.

Everyone thinks Brownie and Midnight are such fortunate dogs because we rescued them. This is our secret - in truth, we didn't rescue them, they rescued us.

Mid-Autumn Festival 2005

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival! Everyone is eating mooncakes (I stole Sharon's mooncake when she left it on the table that day)! Sharon was mad as she likes the ones with yolks and she was saving the best part for the last when I sneaked up and ate it all in one go! But no one gets mad with me for long as I've got such a loving nature and with my doe-like eyes, I usually get away with murder! Heh heh!

Anyway, I saw the kids playing with traditional Chinese lanterns and I wanted to join them. But Karen felt that the sight of a big, fat, furry brown monster may scare them off, so she got me a small lantern for me to play at home instead! It's my first lantern! I liked it a lot but for safety reasons, I was not allowed to put a lighted candle into in lest I singe and burn myself... I walked around the entire house with it! After a few rounds, I got a little exhausted and I hung it by the window. I checked out the kids at the garden and all of them had such lovely lanterns too! But, I bet none of the doggies had one! Anyway, to all my human friends out there: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! (PS: Save me the scraps from the mooncakes, ok?)
