Today I was going to hang out with Ana downtown and go to a parade. When I got to the train station, I heard a barking sound, and in the trash can was a puppy! :'( I felt so bad for him and I asked the security guard if it was hers, and she said no. So I took him out and turned around and walked home. I wanted to give him some food and water. I put him outside on the patio, but when I'd shut the sliding glass door, he'd bark/whine, but I had to go downtown. So I left and went downtown. No sign of Ana. I waited and waited, so then I decided to just go back home. I bought some dog food and gave him some. I tried to bathe him because he smelt like coffee, but he didn't like that and only whined and barked. I had to clean up his pee about 6 times and he pooped once and I cleaned that up. He was a cute dog and all, but I really didn't want to keep him if he was going to whine and bark constantly if I put him outside and if he was going to poop and pee in the house alot. I didn't want to add MORE responsibility here than what I have, and if we kept it then the dog would have gotten really attached to me, so once I leave he wouldn't see me again. This puppy was following me all over. Except he couldn't climb the stairs or want to go down them. I wanted to wait til my host family got home to see where we should take him because I really didn't want to put him back in the streets. Luckly, I was outside with him and these kids walked by and I asked them if they wanted him. They ended up taking him. I gave them the small bag of dog food I got too. So hopefully they ACTUALLY got to keep him as a pet.
The End.
