"Fun"
Wen | Shui Yun Jian Zhang Haiyan"Lele" is a dog from a neighbor in the same building in our community. I've mentioned it many times in previous articles.
Recently, I often see "Lele" near the neighborhood pavilion.
Although we have not seen each other for many days, we still meet cordially, which can be seen from the cheerful tail of "Lele". It sometimes greeted me in the gazebo and sometimes went to the garage to find me. I'll play with it for a while before going upstairs.
Some time ago, it often stayed outside all day, and sometimes it was outside at night, isn't it hungry! On such a cold day, the owner does not wear a vest for it, is it not cold! I don't know if the owner is busy at work and has no time to take care of it or other reasons, anyway, I feel that "Lele" is like a stray dog.
After getting along for a long time, I understand some of the habits of "Lele".
First of all, although we both know each other, it does not follow me upstairs, indicating that it has a certain degree of vigilance.
Secondly, it is very picky eater. This doesn't eat that or that doesn't eat (I often feed it), and the impression is that it eats meat and roasted sweet potatoes, and the rest is not very interesting.
Third, it has a docile personality and is prone to shyness like a girl. Every time I teased it, it obediently snuggled up next to me, a pair of ink spring-like eyes, looking at me with affection. And it rarely barks wildly, except when fighting with other dogs.
Fourth, it doesn't like to take pictures, and avoids taking pictures as soon as it sees me holding up my phone. Other dogs have no sense of taking pictures, so they are so stupid to let me shoot, it doesn't matter how much I shoot, what to do. It's not that they look more handsome than "Lele" (most of them are uglier than "Lele"), it may be a personality difference.
It is precisely because "Lele" does not cooperate with photography, so in a limited time, I have taken fewer photos of "Lele". Fifth, it does not face people to eat. It always grabs food into no man's land and eats it quietly. Delicious, it eats in small, ladylike bites, chewing slowly; unpalatable, it licks and smells, smells and licks, and finally does not eat. So I think it has a lot to do with being thin and picky eaters.
Today is the Lapa Festival, the old saying goes, "Lapa Seven Lapa Eight, freeze to death called flowers", these days are the coldest time of the year. At this time, inside, it was as warm as spring; outside, the cold wind was biting. When I came back from work in the evening, I paid special attention to the area around the lower gazebo, and fortunately, I didn't find "Lele". Maybe its owner came back after work and took it home. Thinking of this, I am at ease.
