One stupid dog

[taotrooper]

We're babysitting my mom's best friend's dog. Oy. He's so annoying. In case you're curious, he's an old Scottish Terrier and acts (and shakes and whines, good Lord) like a junkie when his crack is gone.

I should feel pity for him. But I don't. He made last night a living hell. Can't wait to see him out of the house.

It's not that I hate dogs. It's dogs who hate me. Particularly small dogs, because I've never had a problem or lots of barking from big ones -but I was afraid of the biggums when I was younger; there are some races that still scare me. There are dogs I find cute, of course. But I'm the kind of person who likes to watch animal documentaries and see photos on a National Geographic magazine, but then freaks out when she sees animals in person. I'm not suited for pets at all. I can't even carry the cat. Heck, I can't even carry the chipmunk. What am I saying, I wasn't able to pick up the small turtles we had when I was a kid. They'd kick me in my fingers while I was holding them. Animals can so sense my embarrassment around them.

There was an incident at a pet zoo with a goat when I was 12. Nnnnnnnnnnnng. I swear it was chasing me for no reason! I had no food in my hands!

And they want me to have children? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I don't even have the patience for bearing five minutes of a terrier begging for food or who knows what.

Wait, I can't even water a plant with regularity. It took me days to realize the Christmas cactus was in bloom.

*fails at non-human lives*

You know, I've been rereading volume 5. And they do make a lot (a LOT!) of emphasis on the fact Ayame transforms by himself, with no need of hugs, when the weather is too cold. Actually, both transformations during his first appearance are *because* of low temperatures. On the same day, also.

And in chapter... uh, the last one he appeared, yes, when Yuki asks him if Mine knows about the curse, he changes the subject immediately.

Does Takaya really expect me to believe Mine hasn't seen Aya suddenly turn into a snake in a cold winter day? Even several times a day, if it's freezing out there.

He doesn't even need to tell her the truth. She doesn't even need to hug him or bump into him. Just hanging out with Ayame outdoors is enough risk to get his secret. Not even a romantic relationship is required, I mean. Easiest. Juunishi transformation. Ever.

And this basic fact NEEDS to be fanficced, if it hasn't been already.

And I really need to make Furuba icons.

Glad the junkie!dog isout of your home, at last XD

And your theory makes perfect sense, I'd be very surprised if Mine doesn't know about Ayame's transformation already. I'm thinking he changed the subject because the more people know, the more danger is that Akito finds out and tries to... you know, do what Akito does xP

And I've been having a Furuba!icon urge too lately... :O

I also wonder if even Hatori or Shigure know about Mine. Or even suspect about it. Even though they're his best friends, Shigure doesn't seem to know about it -and with reason, he slept around with Akito. Maybe Ayame wouldn't tell Tori since it could remind him of the Kana issue (you know, falling in love with your assistant), but I bet Hatori could suspect there's something going on.

Eh, I'm the same way with pets (possibly worse). I won't touch any non-human... Well, I don't touch people either. I think it's because I have obsessive-compulsive problems with touching things that are potentially dirty or contaminated.

Probably it's that. My uncle brainwashed me when I was a kid, and I had to wash my hands after touching money every time. Which sucks. I cured myself during school.

I'm the same with most animals. I don't like being anywhere near a dog, and I don't think I could pick up a cat or a chipmunk, either, but I loved my brother's ex-girlfriend's dwarf hamster. Dwarf hamsters are tiny and don't kick; they just try to run off your hand, so you have to either hold them with both hands or just let them run onto your other hand. They're a lot easier to handle than most pets. =]

I've actually read a fanfic or two where they make mention of Mine possibly finding out Ayame's secret because of the cold (I don't remember the names, just that they're on ff.net) I think it's highly likely that would happen. I mean come on! Aaya wouldn't have changed the subject like that if she didn't know! I made an aaya/mine icon a long time ago and some other furuba icons, you should make some too, they'd be SOO pretty! *_*

And Scottish Terriers are mean. v.v I was bitten by one once.

Sounds cute ^^

Aaah, but are the fics any good? That's my main problem; the fandom scares me so much I don'y want to check fanfiction. I just assume by default they are sucky or OOC.

Ouch!
