Mr and Mrs Lim were my next-door neighbours in my previous home. They have been married for many years with no children, but owned two Pekingese pooches instead. I only discovered they were pooch lovers, or rather, very obsessive with their pooches after some observations over the years. The following were my observations:- They matched their furniture and clothes to their pooches - just look at their T-shirts, coffee mugs, keychains, computer screen, and even door mat, and you will know immediately that they are obsessed with pooches (and can even tell what breed they favoured most!)
- They have hundreds of pictures of their pooches in their house, car, wallet, on their desk at work, etc.
- They did not think twice about sitting on the floor because their sofa was always occupied by their pooches
- Dog hair could be found on them and all their belongings, including their car
- They shared their sandwich with their pooches, bite for bite
- When one of our neighbours complained that their pooches barking too noisily every hour, they could not figure out what the problem was
- Spending time with their pooches was the highlight of their day
- Any conversation between them and anyone else was effortlessly directed back to the topic of pooches
- Their parents have given up on hope of having any grandchildren and started referring to the pooches as "their kids" or their children"
The funny thing about pooch owners is that they either resemble their pooches, or they have similar character as their pooches (or vice versa). For example, I remembered Mrs Lim used to have extremely long and bushy hair which made her resemble her Pekingese pooches! The above photos are some examples of other pooch owners in the world.
I wonder how the Lims are now. Are they still as obsessed with their pooch, if not more? That is highly very likely!
