The Kitten inside the taxi cab

My story started after I took off from a bus ride from Cavite to the other side of Coastal Mall, After stepping on the ground, I saw some taxi cab parked on the side of the road infront of Bayview, A taxi driver approaches me and he told me that I can ride on his taxi, and then I noticed that he's holding something on his hands and at first I thought it was a cleaning rug, after I sat infront near the driver's seat, I saw that the driver let go of this kitten and placed it over the taxi's dashboard and I was shocked to see that it is a live kitten infront of me.

I don't know what should I do because I'm on a hurry and I don't want to go out of the taxi cab and wait for another ride, I was worried about my cough and itchy throat because of some kind of respiratory infection that I got after inhaling some bus and taxi with dirty air condition. The taxi driver told me that that he found the kitten on the road and he saved it and instead of being a victim of road kill, he even told me that the kitten has a breed due to its unique look, I'm not a cat expert, but we do have lots of pet cats here at home and I can tell if the cat has a breed, but looking at the lost and found kitten of the taxi driver, it looks like from a normal cat breed we see at home and on the streets. The kitten is so cute, I just remembered our first kitten that we pick up in Ortigas EDSA, and it become an adult cat here at home and carries the name "Pulot", he is such an instant pet cat celebrity to some of my online friends, because they witness how Pulot grew up via my posts in Multiply.com and to my Blog.

Going on to my story, I got annoyed that he kitten stayed on top of the dashboard and it cries and looks scared, I told the taxi driver to place the kitten at the back seat because the dashboard is hot on top and it is bad for the kitten, then the taxi driver removed the kitten from the dashboard and place it between us and sitting on the parking break, I got scared that the kitten might scratch the driver or even jump to me or crawl under the taxi driver's foot, I told him that it is dangerous to place a confused kitten beside us and then he got his senses and placed the kitten at the backseat, the kitten became so noisy, but it stopped for awhile, the driver became so reckless in driving and I felt that we are in a Daytona race, zipping lots of cars and buses in EDSA.

I think the taxi driver got worried about the kitten at the back, because he kept on looking and drives madly, maybe he's on a hurry and want to go home with the kitten. After reaching Megamall area, he grabbed the kitten and placed it on top of his seat and infront of me, I got scared and told the driver to be very careful because he might get scratch by the kitten, you know that the claws of the kittens are exposed and very sharp.

The moment that I'm waiting for just happened.
The kitten jumps down and sat under the clutch bar, I'm glad that we were sitting on a traffic jam when that happened, he grabbed it again and place the kitten on that cup holder between us, and the kitten became quiet and playfully pop his head over and over again,it was a cute view, I told the driver to drive carefully and let the kitten seat on the front after I took off.

I arrived in my destination safely, but I'm still worried for the kitten. I hope she's okay.

Mini Chewbacca dog at home

The story of this dog started when I received a txt message from my wife that Kuya B found a lost dog here in the village and it stayed here in our backyard and didn’t left and I think it wanted to stay there and the dog got scared to walk around. When I heard that news, I sent a message back that they should bring the dog to the baranggay hall to report it and to see if the owner of the dog is looking for it . (More Story below)

But then the days come past and there are no follow ups from the dog owner in our baranggay and then Kuya B decided to keep the dog for the moment while the dog owner is not yet identified. Then followed by some couple of days after hearing the news, I went outside with Baby Ash on a Sunday afternoon and heard a weird low bark at the back of the house and I went there and saw that the furry little dog is inside the cage, I was shocked to see that the dog is still here and then think that the dog owner haven’t claimed their pet yet. Kuya B and his family is not around that time, so they kept the dog in a cage for safety and to keep it out from other of their pet dog ( that is very noisy every morning)

Then when they arrived home, they let the small dog out of the cage and then it played with us for awhile, I think the dog already recognizes and considered its new master, the family of Kuya B, the dog is always angry and barking at me when I’m around or walking at the back of the house to set up my laptop in another venue. The dog runs so fast and wanted to keep me away infront of her , (btw the dog is a female).


I named the dog, mini Chewbacca, because of its furry features, and the dog’s breed is like a mix of daschund and fox terrier. Sometimes I think of the dog is like Sir Didymus from the Labyrinth movie, but I find mini Chewbacca a cute nickname for her.

I went out again after a week and saw the mini Chewbacca strolls around play with us (and bark too) while I carry Baby Ash to play with Kuya B’s 2 sons, then I asked his son what’s the name of their new pet dog, and then he told me the name is “Beauty”… Ok, I scrapped the idea of the name that I gave her hahahah.

Then after some days, my wife’s auntie told us that the owner of the dog is finally here!, they spotted the dog infront of the house and then the owner called her name, then the real name is “Jessie!” , the dog runs toward the owner and wags it tail and looks happy, I told them to inform Kuya B and check if that’s the real dog owner, after a few talks with Kuya B and the owner, they went together to the Baranggay hall to report and clear that the dog is no longer in the hands of Kuya B. The owner lives on the next block of the village, and then the dog returned back to Kuya B for the moment as the owner went back to their home to fix something and then they went back to Kuya B’s house to claim the dog and say final good bye to little Jessie aka mini Chewbacca.

I don’t know what will be the feeling of Kuya B and his two son, but I know all of us are happy that Jessie is finally home.

I also heard that the owner said they asked the security guard for details if they saw the dog nearby, then the guard said that they spotted the dog went out of the village.. arhmmmmmmmmmmmm…. I don’t know if they are telling the truth.


There are lots of dogs here in the village who got lost and never find their way back, Last time I encountered this dog with a sheep-like fur, color white, all fluffy and cute, but its an adult dog, he got lost too, and stayed on the garage for two days, he eats with our other guard dog in the garage, he looks so friendly, but then I suspected that he got lost and I chased the dog to go to the other side of the village, because I heard that the owner is looking for him, the problem is that the owner never got the time to look for him in the other side, the sheep like furry dog got lost and trapped here in our garage.

And then fast forward to April 2011, a funny moment, were a Chihuachua walks with me on the street, aaaahahahaa.. I think the dog is lost too. Dog owners should keep them away from the street, because they might get hit by a passing car.
