These couple of mornings, Donna and I went to the hilltop park for our walk. As mentioned here Singapore is a wonderland for stray cats and one can usually encounter several on a daily basis. So here’s the usual gang giving my dog the stinkeye. It’s almost like the dog has some mind control magic over the cats. All of them have to follow the dog with their eyes, heads turning like radars, until we walk out of their territory.
Cautious must be her first name. Moved a meter away when Donna got close and then stood her ground, before carefully burrowing into the bushes.
And this fat cat is too cool to move. It was just sitting there minding its own business when Donna came along.
And when I made Donna sit, it sat too.
Similar coat but this is a different cat.
It’s just as pretty though.
And then most unexpectedly and out of nowhere, there was a dog suddenly sniffing around Donna, with no leash or collar. I thought it might be a JRT, but I am not the walking dictionary of dog breeds so, it’s a dog. Although, its coat reminded me of cows :P
Lost dog? Or just dog off its leash? I have no idea but it was approaching dogs in a friendly fashion, with no obvious owner in sight.
There it is again checking out a different dog. Donna wanted to approach the dogs so she sat. That’s her way of asking or refusing to move. (At least that’s what I think, can’t read her mind.)
Eventually the owner-less dog turned back and trotted with us for a bit, stopping frequently to raise its leg and nonchalantly mark public property with pee. *sigh* I was wondering if it was going to follow us home and I was to put up a FOUND notice. But it ran ahead and scared a toddler with his mom. I held Donna back while they passed. Then Donna decided she needed to poop. The last I saw, the dog was in the distance heading down the stairs out of the park with an elderly man. I hope they belonged together.
It is a nice breezy day for a walk. I haven’t been that interested in taking pictures for some time, but blogging has got me trigger happy again and I got some ugly shots of my ordinary looking dog.
She likes to look away from the camera… at her own oscar-winning “Scream” face. Nah, she’s yawning, but I thought that face looked quite horrified :P
She is patient, while I took shots of nothing in particular.
Well actually, I just thought these trees looked nice in a sculptural way.
Yes, adding filter effects for a romantic feel. I’ve never been to Japan to see the famous Sakura blossoms, but there’s nothing to stop one from enjoying other plants and flowers in the local park!
On the other side of the path, we found equally textural dried leaves. She had to inspect them for my safety. :P
This path that we were on runs parallel to the train line. It’s a nice walk down and helps to get Donna used to loud rumbly sounds, we hope.
Soon it will get too hot, so head home we must, to breakfast!
Note: A scan through the lost and found pages yield no Missing dog results for a JRT in our area in the last 2 days.
