Quirky moments with Kiki

Qui me amat, amat et canem meum - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

I have just watched a short film on Youtube and was moved by it. It's about a dog get separated from his human during the Corona pandemic.

For me, it was not because of Corona. We were still during that time, luckily. I left because I went to study abroad in Germany. It's been nearly a year since I left Vietnam, and one of the loves of my life that I miss so much is my Kiki. It's the name of my dog, my BFF. Well, a side note: It's not the name from 'Kiki, do you love me'. No, lmfao, somebody did ask me that, and I knew it was a joke 😂. Kiki is a very common name for dogs in Vietnam, and my mom thought of no other names so we chose this one.

Kiki and I kind of grew together, I was seven, just finishing a day at school, my dad picked me up as usual. But I sensed that he was happier than usual, and he kept hinting that there was something waiting for me at home.

It's Kiki, and I screamed and WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE A DOGGGGGGGGGGGG A DOG A DOG A DOG A DOG I LOVE HIM, and came to stroke him and studied this soon-to-be a non-separable family member in our family.

He was shy, kept looking down, examining the cloth he was sitting on. Or maybe he's just shy, I guess. I don't have a photo of him back then, which is such a shame. I didn't have a phone back then, and what's all in my parents' phones are pictures of me and my brother, some silly poems I wrote for mom.

But here are some photos of 3-4 years later after bringing home, and many times that he changes his name, Alexander I, Chapuru, Ku, then recently, Bubu, here is his albums composed by me and my mom.

What is funny for me is that he always looks so "excuse me do you know what privacy is???"

But then he can be very

JUDGEMENTAL!!!

Kiki can also sometimes, apart from a full-time nudist, and he loves it,...
