... of them… but, I never had a dog as a pet, nor did I have any connection with them. In fact, I almost started to hate them because there were so many stray dogs on the way to my classes as a kid. Imagine being chased by a game of dogs early morning when there is nobody on the streets and dark. The thought of dogs was not very pleasant for me with all the barking and from the lessons on rabies!
To add to that, one night, one of our kittens was outside, just enjoying the weather. She was so cute and always used to play with me. Then, all of a sudden, this gang of dogs came and caught her and took her away. I was upstairs studying but I could hear her screech and then it faded away… That was very sad and we couldn't find it's body even. I hated dogs after this incident, so deep from my heart. So, that's to say how not happy my childhood connection with dogs were.
So, every day, on the way to my school, there is this tree and these white flowers were always on the road under this tree. I never really cared to look up the tree and find how it looks. Because, there used to a stay dog that always sniffed on these flowers. I had no idea about the name of these flowers, so I started calling them did flowers. Because I thought the dogs eat these flowers. I'm serious, I used to refer it to my Mom as," you know that house with dog flowers"!
Well, years passed, I don't hate dogs anymore. I even wanted to have one for a long time but that meant a permanent place. But, these flowers, I still don't know its name and remain as dog flowers to me! I think one day when I have a dog, I'll plant a lot of these plants and maybe it'll make him/get happy 😊
