Eyes Open

Today, I was able to see unusual brightness. Mother had been licking our eyes and we saw bright light.

"Your eyes have opened, Utoy." she said in a gentle voice.

Her licking woke me up. It was a beautiful world after all - bright and warm, just like I had imagined it.

My siblings have been exploring our kennel. After sniffing through everything, including mother's mat. They have left its confines and went towards the brown dog Mameha, despite Mother's warnings.

A sharp series of barking and growling ensued. It seems that my sisters have crossed the territory of the brown meanie.

"Stay away from my litter!" she kept saying, "Keep your clumsy pups out of my area!"

My sisters ran as fast as they can on Mother's mat and never left it the whole day. Bunso and I took our time observing the litter from a distance.

The barking woke up Mistress and the Master. When she saw us strolling, she squealed in delight and came back with something in her hand.

"It's a camera," Mother pointed out, "Mistress wants to remember how you looked like with your eyes open."

She nudged the girls out of her mat, stretched out and pretended to sleep.

Anyway, this is how we look like. The picture below is me. Master was holding me, like how he did when he found me.



This is Pangga. She looks cleaner and kinder than I am but believe me, she does dirtier, nastier things that I could never do in my whole life. Mistress thinks she's beautiful. I think her nose needs to be more dark.



This is Inday. She was really scared of the camera. Somehow, Pangga had convinced her that she would become like Mameha if she ever looked straight into the camera. She's really gullible but fun to be with. Mother likes her very much.



Bunso did not believe a thing that Pangga said to Inday. He struck a pose (to the delight of the Master) and looked straight into the camera. He's Master's favorite. He's still taking the thick, white liquid for his neck.



Finally, this is my mother, Josephine. I have yet to meet my father but Mistress kept scolding mother whenever she sees her with a white dog with a brown patched eye. Could he be my father?
