Alfonzo's first bath -- in our outside sink

The other day I received a text message from Jason asking me if I wanted to buy a dog. I said 'no way' because I pictured what most dogs look like here, which are ugly small things that look like the runt of group.

I was coming home from the dump site in Cavite, and the bus is like a hour and a half, and the way buses drive here, it makes you so tired because you have to deal with the craziest drivers, who all have lead feet.

I came home and there was a dog in my apartment. I was a little confused but after i saw it, I just had to have it. My whole life my parents never let me have a dog, so when I saw a dog in my house, and remember that my parents are on the other side of the world, all these rebellious feelings came on from never being able to have one, so I bought it for 10 Canadian dollars.

His name is Alfonzo, and I named him personally (if you could not tell). He is great to have because all the street gang youth love to pet him and such. I have never had a dog, and I like having one now, but the dumb thing loves to pee in the apartment! So he now sleeps outside!
