The neighbour had a crazy dog (using past tense is so upsetting right now). He's attempted several attacks on me. Yet, when I come home from work at night, he stands on his hind feet by the divider to greet me. And I've come to like this psychotic excuse of a canine. Mom feeds him cabbage and eggs most nights.
This morning, I woke up to mom's scream for help. She was outside, watering the plants. The DBKL men were here. Crazy dog was surrounded by three men with these sticks with a wire hoop at the end (what do you call those anyway?). My mom screamed and pleaded with them not to take him away. He belonged to someone (OMFG past tense again).
They wouldn't listen. My mom, in a desperate attempt to get the dog to come into our house, accidentally 'watered' two of the men. They thought it was intentional and yelled back (like wanna fight kind of yell). Mom apologized but yelled back and said we are all Malaysians, there is no reason to fight.
I can't decided whether I should use the word asshole or retard (but I have reason to believe it's both), but he said I am Indian. I am from India. Mom didn't like racial issues so she scolded 'Well, why are you still here? Go back to India!' While they were having this argument, the other guy secured crazy dog.
And mom, aunt and I watched as they dragged the poor dog by the neck up the van. Murphy was barking in protest. Tong Tong and Fan Shu too.
Mom said she tried her best to get crazy dog to come into our house. She yelled for the neighbour to come out and take crazy dog back. Neighbour didn't show. The last time that happened to their dog, who was crazy dog's mother, neighbour was standing right there and refused to pay the RM30 fine. So she just watched her get dragged away and eventually, put down. Cold-blooded cow. The last time, mom took 2 weeks to get over it.
And this house. Mom's a dog lover. Aunt's a dog lover. Me, I just have a soft spot for animals.
And my home will mourn the loss of this crazy dog for a week because all of a sudden, there's no crazy dog to feed.
