She had 5 pups earlier this year, all of them died when lots of dogs in side our plant died one after another, no one knows what was that virus (could be covid-19) or bacteria leaded to the death of those free dogs.
About half a year ago little black sometimes hide food underneath the ground with her 5 fine pups and now she hides food alone, she is probably worried that she won’t be able to have enough food to survive, especially when she had babies to look after.
Big yellow, the king of the region around our dorm where Chinese people live was virile, taciturn with strong constitution and a white vertical line right in the middle of his face, pure golden fur, bobtail (could be of the fact that he had a fierce fought with and other male dog that he lost the big half of his tail), he stayed in power for serval years maybe thanks to his tail, during the fight other dogs won’t see what’s in his mind, since he doesn’t have the tail that could be tucked between the hind legs to show that he is afraid.
I thought big yellow was sweet-tempered when I just came here, no matter how people played with him, he never showed any anger.
Later on I learnt that he fought other dogs to their death. During the dog’s pandemic, people suspected big yellow was the cause of other dogs’ death.
The awkward, in Chinese we call him HanHan is a fat but nor sturdy old guy who has a disdainful look, whose gaze of eyes is always tilted, no matter what he is looking at. He often leaves our region for months and returns back with scars, wounds and a much thinner physique.
And this time many of us thought he probably died already, yet he is back with lots of wounds scatter on his body, although no one knows what happened to him exactly, the loss of his fur and skin is telling the melancholy of his failure and helplessness. This time he is so weak that he cannot respond to my calling of his name, like I was calling a complete stranger.
There was another dog who I don’t even know his name died during the pandemic; all together the four of them were so happy, playing around, galloping across the wild field, entertained themselves by holding one of a worker’s shoes and run like mad with the rest cashing after him.
Any time if there was a stranger, one of them barks, then all of them follow, they either drive the strangers away or corner them. So, we don’t have strangers in our region. About 2 months ago, during the estrum cycle, there was a fierce rivalry over intercourse rights. The ongoing howling noise of the fights often heard at nights. It was quiet again for about 2 months, and things has changed afterwards as we often have strange visitors and one of them even stayed overnight next to big yellow, she follows big yellow, sucks him up, massaging him from his head to his tail, she must be desperate in staying in our region as there were constructions in nearby region, they have no place to stay and even though big yellow has experienced heavy loss probably for the first time, alothgh he has became weaker and very ugly with lots of scars on his body, but the hegemony is still in his hands, besides she is much smaller and weaker. I once witnessed the stranger massaged big yellow from his head to his bottom for a really long time; big yellow just lied on the ground still, like nothing has ever happened. The stranger stayed for about a month and now I haven’t seen her for quite a while.
Today little flower has delivered 5 pups, little back is also about to give birth to hers and she often stayed at the corridor of our canteen as little flower is busy with her children.
