My family usually go to bed around 9 p.m. Tonight was different. Right before 9 p.m., my husband and daughter came to me all excited. They started talking about the Chihuahua dog at my mom-in-law’s house.
This Chihuahua dog was originally given to my late dad-in-law in last July. One of his friends had some puppies to give away. They were born on June 12th 2021. Around that time, my late dad-in-law got really sick and was diagnosed as Covid. One month after the puppy came to him, my dad-in-law passed away. My mom-in-law is a cat lover and not really a dog lover. My mom-in-law told us jokingly but many times that we could take the puppy with us back to our home. We believe she was serious. There was one time when she even threw the puppy onto my husband’s lap sitting in the passenger’s seat when we were about to leave back home. We all laughed and returned the puppy on the ground.
Tonight, my husband and daughter were talking about the chihuahua; how much they miss the dog. And that was why they barged into my room and started begging me to give a permission to adopt him. My husband was not normal because he already had some alcohol drink and got drunk. They kept on talking about the dog for one hour. I finally showed them the clock showing 10 p.m. and nicely asked them to calm themselves down and go to sleep.
After they went to bed, I thought about adopting a dog to this house. I love the dog and miss him a lot. But I don’t think it is possible. We are renting this house. This house is carpeted on all the three bedrooms. The dog was not toilet trained. We have seen the dog peed and pooped everywhere in my mom-in-law’s house. The dog loves to running around at his full speed on the Navajoland, but he won’t be able to do so. He will hate being leashed. I love to have him here, but I honestly don’t think it is good idea for now.
