Hi, I'm Ipo. I'm told I am very handsome. Some people also say that I'm the sweetest dog in the world and very patient. My little sister takes advantage of me. I let her but I really don't like it when she clamps on to my lower lip and hanges from it.
In my first phase I was concerned only with survival. I was very lonely and wondered the streets looking for food. My foot was broken, nobody showed me any caring and I almost died. At some point I was captured and put into a cage. I gave up. I sat in the back of my cage and didn’t move or even look at anyone. Sometimes people would come and look at me but I wouldn’t try to make any connection with them so they didn’t care about me either. I spent my years learning to trust. My big brother was so great! He knew everything and I followed him around. Mom and Dad taught me lots of things too. I got to absorb lots of love, learned that world was not going to hurt me, and got to do what I wanted without fear. I had a family, a home! I had leaders and my job was to let them love me. Eventually my big brother died. I was so sad, but that started the third phase of my life. I grieved for a while and when I came out of that everything was changed. I no longer had a big brother to show me what to do and I had to find my own place in my family. Instead of just taking in all the love and gentleness, I learned to actively give myself. I took responsibility for keeping watch over my family. It’s not too hard for me since I don’t have to do anything other than let my parents know what it going on. When mom or dad find out, they always know what to do.
I like to lie down near Mom and Dad until I get tired. Then I go off to my place to sleep. My bedtime is 10pm. |
I’m now in my third major phase of conscious life. I don’t count the time with my biological mother as conscious.
