hello! my name is ripley!
And I am a dog. Well, a mutt to be exact. A very cute mutt nevertheless, with eyes so soulful that when you gaze deep into them you could almost see puppies (the other ones).
I sense skepticism. Well my faithless friends, a picture paints a thousand words.
No? Couldn’t see my eyes clearly? Shame. They were beautiful.
Were?
That is right.
I am the ghost of Ripley the mutt.
In fact, Ripley might not have been my real name. It was Jordan who named me Ripley. Why, I do not really know. Actually I do not know a lot of things, except that I was born a black dog.
Then there was pain.
Less than 2 months after I was born, I was set upon by nameless faceless cowards who couldn’t fight people their own sizes, hence they chose me to be an unwilling victim of their senseless brutality in the name of fun. Isn’t it funny how some people gain gratification from physically scarring little animals - babies in fact such as me? If I were born a human baby, I wouldn’t even be tottering down the street! But because I was a puppy… so defenseless, so helpless..
It hurt a lot. But I tried not to show it. Ma would have been proud of me. She said that these bullies get their kicks from visible show of pain and fear. Some really fucked up shit there, their lives must be really empty.
I don’t remember much of what happened. It was all very fuzzy and when I was abandoned near where Jordan and Leen live, I had a rubber ring around my neck almost cutting off my air supply. I couldn’t walk properly and had to sit down for a bit before trying again.
Frank and Aida took me back to their home and treated me like a little puppy prince. Not all humans are nasty after all!
The next day Jordan and Frank took me to see an animal doctor. The animal doctor told them a lot of things that I didn’t really know… because well I can’t see my own back can I? He said a lot of things, like my groin area having lots of lumps, something sticking out was due to a separate hernia, it was so badly inflamed and would get severely infected… most likely caused by someone running me down or kicking me real hard.
What sticking out?
That was some horrible shit isn’t it? And I was lugging it around like dying bees after stinging someone.
Next thing I knew, I was flying upwards looking down at Frank and Jordan trying not to cry over my dead mutt body. When I checked back on these kind folks not so long ago, I found out that Jordan wrote about what happened with me on something called a blog, and Frank even wrote a beautiful poem for me! Imagine that!
I am definitely happier now. If I had to write something to the people who crushed a little puppy like a blood-loaded mosquito it would be short and sweet, and goes something like this :
You are a sick sick sick sick person. You are wasting earth’s precious oxygen just by still being around.
You think you got the better of me, but here I am now laughing my tail off at you in my shiny golden halo, flickety wings and satin white robes.
Because all dogs go to heaven.
I hate to stop here but I do have to go. Tea time with Mother Teresa and all.
See you at dinner then!
Hahaha, just kidding. Enjoy Hades, bye!
Your puppy loving puppy,
Ripley
Bye!
how could any sane person do that to a cute dog like that? man.. that’s sad.
i have a neighbour who just despises any other living creature.. cats (mine included), birds, the grass(!) and tiny ants. he would spend all day spraying insecticed just to get rid of ants trudging along on their own business along the pavement.
obviously these ppl are just self-centered. these sick & sad ppl… haihhh..
anyway, have fun up there rippo ‘ol boy!
cheers..
OMG! whoever tortured that puppy is really a sick bastard. and he was so adorable looking.
I condemn them to eternal hell.
Oh my. Looks like a ‘beast’ did that to Ripley.
:o(
Ghastly. I’m reading this just after I wathced animal planet, where a dog was pacifying, terminally ill patients. Humans are doomed aren’t we
On a side note, will remember to buy Star tomolo
did ripley ended up as a stew?
1)
the torturers shouldn’t die. they should be put on earth forever to be tortured and suffer eternally.
2) your essay reminds me of the “saya seekor anjing” stuff we used to write in primary school! hehehe
nalie & Kenneth: It’s not just that Ripley was cute, but that it could happen at all. According to Jordan, the doc said that either someone ran over Ripley or kicked him real hard. I suspect it’s the latter, because of the hard rubber ring around his neck when Jordan etc found him. So someone out there got his kicks by damning a puppy that day.
percolator: yeap.terrible critters.
Peter: sedih and senseless kan?
Bawang Merah: Quite. We the found who found the kicks in eating sharks fin soup remember
KY: no
S: I just want to punch them real hard.
poor doggie… what did it do to suffer such cruelty??
i once met a nasty little boy who got his kicks out of flinging cats onto the road. one lady told him off & asked if he would like to be thrown that way too… he just smirked & her & said you mind your own business or i throw you too!
this coming from a boy no more than 10 yrs old to a lady in her 40s. man, if i were her i’d have slapped him in full view of everyone. his mother was there & she just couldn’t be bothered to tame her idiot son.
ppl like this really make me mad. i love animals, u see.
Whether Ripley is named after Ripley’s Believe It or Not, it is beyond belief that people can be so cruel to defenceless animals. Get the person and let him kick a bigger dog, preferably a Rottweiler , Pit Bull or a mean Alsatian.
It goes to show that there’s mean people out there. *heart broken* I’m a dog lover and I would like to kick the MF right in the gut.
Btw, keeping quiet about your appearance in tomolo’s The Star har. Jahat betul (for keeping quiet). At least better than the naked blogger news in Singapore. LOL.
Actually, Ripley was named after the main character from the Alien movies. The reason for that should now seem obvious, in a twisted sort of way.
.. sorry that was me.
… and THIS is how my started my monday morning!!!!!!!
!)@(#)!(@*#)!(@*#)!@(#*!!!!!!!
*sniff*
yah i fell into pieces when i read jordan’s story about lil ripley too. kesian sangat….. :’-(
the fucker needs a good fucking kick in his non existant balls and we shall fucking induce hernia. bastard son of a bitch. arrgghhh….
Damnit. That poor dog. The bastard will reap what they sow!!!
There are some sick people in the world.
OMG, that poor puppy’s herniated intestines made me cry. Those effing bastards should be given a taste of their own medicine - GRRRRRRRR!
