Hello there! Back with a bunch of more lighthearted posts moving forward. I’m sorry for the sad, emotional outburst from the last post, where I shared a lot of pent-up thoughts and feelings from a place of hurt.
Anyway, we’re back to business, and I’m kicking things off with a little writing experiment where I attempt to write something from a different perspective . In case you didn’t know, I got a teacup Pomeranian named Berry last October. Raising him has been mostly a joy, but I’m not going to deny that a good chunk of taking care of him requires a lot of caution, care, and attention. Pomeranians love attention! Here’s a little diary entry, written from his perspective.
Hewwo. I’m Berry. I’m the youngest child in the Bolante household. I’m mostly raised by my mami Lea, wowo Mau, and aunty Miggy. I call Miggy aunty because they’re non-binary.
I’m turning 4 months on December 20, and I’m still vewwy much a widdle baby. I know how to climb stairs, but going down is vewwy scawy. I’m also appawently a vewwy smawt dog, since Pomewanies (Pomeranians) are appawently a vewwy smawt bweed. But I can confiwm that we are noisy. I like to “ror ror ror” at almost anything. I rorred at my snack, which were mashed anana and wet tweat. I got tiwed of anana, since Mami and Wowo always gib me anana.
Today’s a Saturday. It’s supposed to be a fwee day fow hoomans. But Mami is oways in hew compootews or cellphone. She shouldn’t worky on weekends. Weekends are Bewwy time. Wowo is busy with home things. Wowo is having many parts of our house repaired. Wowo got me aircon so I wouldn’t have to suffew the heat. But Mami has thwee electwic fans. Mami got her pawfowmance bonus recently, so she gib me many gifts like a new bed and a new teethow, because I gib her many booboo. I’m sowwy Mami. I’m gwowing teethies.
I hab many ninangs. But the ninang I know the most is Ninang Jow, Mami’s best fwiend since 5th gwade. They always talk about K-pop, work, Mami’s ADHD, and more. It makes me sad that mami is stwuggling with her mental health, but she always says she feels bettow when I’m hewwe. Ninang Jow gib me many Kwismas tweats so it helps with my gwowing teethies. I also want to meet my othew ninangs Sam, Julia, and Ria. They’re mami’s cwose fwiends from high school. And Ninong Gilbi. They live neawby, but their neighbowhood is full of scawy doges. My only fwiend is Kuya Puppy, aunty’s pet kitty kitty cat. Kuya Puppy is vewwy big and always hungwy. Kuya Puppy eats wowo’s fish and mami’s fwied chimken.
Speaking of mami, she wants to bwing me to places so I can make fwiends. Appawently, making fwiends at my age is good fow me. I wecently met Mikay, Mipoe, and Moe, thwee doggies that I met at the dogtor’s clinic. Sadly, Wowo and Aunty disagwee until I get all my shots.
Mami got me big bed today. She also got me poop bags and othew supplies. I wub my mami even if she gets sad and stwuggles with many things.
I hope you enjoyed this widdle diawy. See you on the interwebz! Fowwow me on Instagwam @berryhaeee. Heb a good day or night!
