Worried.

 I've noticed that there's something wrong with Pequeno lately. Pequeno has been a bit down, more tired, and less active all of a sudden.

 "I don't know what's wrong with Pequeno. He's been staring at the wall for a while with his head down, ears low, and ignoring anyone who calls his name." Field notes 10/23

Feeling that something was wrong. I waited for my dad to come back from work to see what's the matter with Pequeno. As soon as my dad arrived home I told him right away. My dad yelled out Pequeno's name and there was no response, he yelled his name once again then Pequeno slowly walks to my dad as if he is in pain. 

"As my dad holds Pequeno in his arms, he softly rubs Pequeno's chest. Suddenly Pequeno cries out loudly, having his tail down and eyes all watery; he goes back to his bed and stares at the wall again." Field notes 10/23 

I checked online to see what's wrong with Pequeno and to find out what is causing Pequeno so much pain. According to My Pawsitively Pets "7 Signs That Your Dog Is In Pain" it explains that when a dog cries out it means that they are in intense pain. It also states that if a dog is touched in that certain area, one has to be careful and watch out for anything else that causes the pain to hurt more.

My dad is planning to take Pequeno to the vet as soon as possible to get him the help he needs to get better and up in his paws again. I don't know what to do, it's hard to see Pequeno like this. I hope that he'll get better soon and to be the happy dog he's always been.

Favorites

I don't know when it began ,but the thing I don't get about Pequeno is that he has his favorites from my family of four. Between me, my father, and brother.

I've figured out that Pequeno's favorite is my father. "Full with excitement Pequeno is wagging his tail quickly and trys to get my father's attention as my father arrives home back from work." Field notes 10/2 

Pequeno always walks beside my father as if he's proud to have my father in his life. "As my father comes home from work, Pequeno quickly uses his cat walk and follows my father to his room." (Field notes 10/13)

When my father is home he ignores my brother and I when we call his name to get his attention. He looks at us as if we are strangers to him.

When my father is not home he's either laying in his bed with his head down waiting for him to come back or he's with me or my brother trying to get distracted as the time passes.

I wonder why he chose my father as his number one owner? I wonder why he ignores me?

Spoiled?

For the past few days of having no school I've come to realize that everytime Pequeno wants something he does two main things. First is the stretch and reach. "Giving a little twitch in his ears as he gets up quickly and stretches; reaches his sharp paws to my leg to get my attention."(Field notes,10/6)

He gives me his puppy eyes if the first one doesn't work. "So bright dark brown eyes sparking as he locks my eyes with his; he then goes and lays down again and acts if he's depressed; I go up to him and start petting him gently." (Field notes, 10/6)

It's amazing that he also uses his cuteness to get what he wants. When he wants to go outside he uses his eyes. When he wants the car window down to get a little air he uses his eyes. When he wants food he reaches up to me wags his tail and uses his eyes again.He's a little small dog who knows how to run the house with a little trick that get him attention and to get what he wants. 

I wonder why he does that to me?

Remembering

Since I've started observating Pequeno, I feel like I'm getting to know him more than before. Like how he likes to follow anyone who carries food around him, and how he dislikes it when I call his name for him to take a bath that warns him run quickly under the bed.

As his fur is getting longer and longer everyday that make me think that it's time for him to get a haircut and also that time is passing fast. "He looks more like a coyote today; long pointy hairy ears, very skinny four legs, long fur tail,and more all over his face that seems as if he can't see anything." Field notes,9/29

I remember when he was a puppy he used to scratch my door when it was fully close while he does a little howl   as he tried to get my attention to open the door. He also used to scare me all the time too. I remember I walked to my room one day when it was fully dark then all of a sudden I hear ripping sounds thinking that there's a monster inside. I turned on the lights and there he was with a pile of ripped paper all over my room. What a little troublemaker he was and still is.

Pequeno still acts like a puppy. I come to realize the actions he does are more memorable to me because everything he does reminds me of  how time had passed quickly.
