We have two dogs at home, one is older and bigger, the other is younger and smaller.
The older one was caught from my aunt's house when it was small, fat and completely black like charcoal. So I named it "Heitan" (Black Charcoal). My mother thought the name sounded bad, so she insisted on calling it "Guoguo". I didn't care, so we just called it by different names. Sometimes when my mother called out Guoguo and I followed with Heitan, it would get very confused about which one it should go to.
My mother said that male dogs like this are prone to run around and play outside when they grow up, so she asked a veterinarian to neuter it. Later, Heitan became terribly afraid of people carrying shoulder bags. The younger one was brought back last year and was also chubby at that time. My mother said we didn't have enough food, so she reduced their lunch. As a result, it became skinny in no time. The younger dog still doesn't have a decent name, so we just call it directly "Dog". Anyway, it is already as thin as a rail. I don't really like these two dogs because they don't follow my commands. At that time, I was in school, and every time I came back, I had to carry a bag. Heitan, having not seen me for a long time, always tried to bite me when he saw me with a bag. Dog is better, it always jumps around when it sees me. But it has never shown its belly to me (a dog showing its belly indicates absolute obedience). This makes me very dislike it, there were two times when I almost turned it into food on my plate. My mother didn't allow it, saying let it guard the cattle shed against thieves.
There are more and more dogs here, each family has at least two. Two dogs from my aunt's house were caught and made into hot pot while they were running around outside. Later, someone helped bring back a tiny one, reportedly a dog that won't grow big, actually it's the offspring of my grandfather's dog. That little guy looks dog-like, only as big as two fists. After bringing it back, it stopped growing either because it didn't drink milk or due to environmental changes.
The skinny dog at home is getting more and more afraid of me, and less liked by me. Dog's situation is dangerous. I said sooner or later it will become food instead of wasting food. All the dogs we keep at home are local dogs, there is nothing worth mentioning about them. Heitan seems to look better, but as it grows, its fur color is no longer pitch black, and many mixed furs have grown out, making it look dirty. However, I think it doesn't matter, after all, it's a local dog, you can't expect it to be as mighty as a German Shepherd or as gentle as a guide dog. Fortunately, it needs less food than a German Shepherd and is not as delicate as those noble dogs. However, the fate of local dogs is not good at all. When they are young, they guard the house, and when they get old and can't bite anymore, they naturally become dishes.
The skinny dog at home won't give birth to puppies, they are all males, and one has been neutered. However, cats are very good at giving birth. My father hates kittens, so he often throws away the newborn kittens. Adult cats are good at stealing food, and their current body shape reminds me of coffee cats. Cats and dogs get along well, and there will definitely not be a situation like "Cat-Dog War". In fact, Heitan and Dog have brought a lot of joy.
Having skinny dogs at home brings endless fun.
