The Dog

I have been living in Kota Kemuning for nine years . I lived on Jalan Anggerik Oncidium from November 1999 till mid-July 2005 and then moved to Jalan Anggerik Doritis on mid-July 2005 . I'm still here . I enjoy staying in this area for it is very much convenient for me . The school is a minute away , the shop lots and mamak stalls/chinese restaurants are three minutes away , and you rarely get to see Kay-poh Oncidium Aunties . However , living here has its bad points as well - make that a bad point . The crazy dog next door .

I love dogs . I really do . I have owned many throughout my childhood too . Sad to say , I , with utmost despite , hate my neighbour's dog . Sometimes I feel like screaming at it . I have been living here (Doritis) since June 2005 and yes , it is perfectly normal for dogs to bark and growl at strangers . But , it is fugging unusual for a dog to bark at a person it knows . Come one , for fuck's sake , I've been living next to it for almost three years . But it doesn't seem to cease it's annoying barks at my family . It barks at not only us , but everyone . My neighbour's friends , relatives , my other neighbours . The dog is fucking spoilt . Even the dogs belonging to my neighbour living opposite don't bark at us .

I have seen the way they treat the dog . They treat it like as if it's some kind of newborn baby , it makes my stomach churn . They let it into the house , with all it's long straggly fur . That's fine by me , as long as it doesn't make noise . The thing is , I have seen how the dog reacts when it's asked to go back out . It snarls , growls and bites them . Ludricous , I know . Yet , the only thing they do is shout , no , raise their voices at him and start to drag him out of the house . I swear , I have never seen them hit it . I'm not saying that hitting pets are good neither am I encouraging it but you have to teach them a lesson if they misbehave right ? They're not humans , you can't punish them by ordering it to stand in a corner until it has realised its mistake . You have to cane it . Not too hard , but just nice to let it know that you're in charge . Seriously , what else can you do ? I am annoyed beyond reason .

A year or so after I moved into my current house , the dog bit my mother's thighs while she was hanging her clothes . She was standing quite near to my neighbour's fence . Lo and behold , the dog lost its mind and went beserk . My neighbour couldn't stop apologising . But what's done is done , and there's not point apologising repeatedly . A few of my friends were tempted to throw stones at it because of its stupid behaviour but I stopped them , worried that bad things would then occur . One thing I have come to realise about this particular dog , is that it will not bark when its owners are not around . It is only when its owners are lingering around the garden , then it strikes . Wtfuck ?! This dog has a fucking attitude problem , and it wants to show everyone that it is in charge and brave as well .

Today , when my mother went out to keep the clothes hanged outside to dry , the dog started barking like a mad dog and scared my mother . What's more ? My neighbours (mother and daughter) were standing outside there and talking . They saw what their beloved dog did but refused to tell it off and ignored it . My mother was so pissed she told my neighbour that their dog tends to scare her by barking very loudly at her . My neighbour just laughed . I heard because the windows were open and I was using the PC . And that situation was what made me lose it . I wanted to go out and just tell my neighbours off but I was held back by my conscience .

I don't give a fuck whether or not my neighbours read about this . Hopefully they do so that they would know how we feel about their mad dog . Please dear neighbours , do not provoke me .
