The Angmoh and the Dog

For the last year or so we've been having a temporary-permanent house guest. Ross is an Englishman - Cambridge law grad at that - who is a missionary to China. Since he shifted his base to Taiwan from Singapore, he needed a place to stay for his occasional trips back here.

The thing is that although he's only back here for like 4-5 times a year, he gets along famously with Chassard.

Case in point: Last night, the black, hairy one was so sleepy nothing I did could nudge him out of his corner. All Ross did was to enter the living room, and immediately the dog got up to greet him with full tail-wag and all.

What kind of rubbish loyalty is that?!?!!! I think I need a new dog. *sulk*

Ross is here right now actually, which is how I managed to snap these shots:




Ross even has his own nickname for him: TEETH.

Weird name? Not really. You see, Chassard thinks he's human and likes to greet people with a doggie smile. It actually looks like a snarl, cos he bares all his teeth and snorts at the same time.

It freaked my aunts out the first time they saw him do that. They're not exactly dog people so they thought he was going to have a chomp on them or something.

I had a good laugh though. :D
