Chapter 13: Chain
Last Updated:
2021-07-28 10:05:13Despite the inconsistencies in the way Bridgette dealt with Polly, he still gravitated towards her. It was like she had a magnetic wave that kept pulling Polly near her. Polly couldn’t understand it but it was like he didn’t have a choice. He still felt sad when she was away and would excitedly wait for her by the door for her arrival at night.
Early morning on a weekday in Bridgette’s household was a bit chaotic. The floor area of the house was only 50 square feet with three adults - Bridgette, her mother, and her first born, Rachel - and four children - Bridgette’s Roxanne, 16 years old, and Ivan 13, and Rachel’s Willy, 10, and Winonah, 8. Every day, they would all compete as to who got to use the bathroom first. Bridgette always won.
It was a feast watching them move. It was much like the people Polly used see in the streets weeks ago. It was as if they did not know one another. They were all in a hurry they were just passing each other by.

“Mother! Mother!” Roxanne calling out to her mother as she was standing in front of Pilita’s dog house. “What is it, Roxanne? I have lots to do!”Bridgette angrily replied as she hung her head out of the window to look at her. “Just come over, mother. I want you to see this.” Roxanne said still holding a plate of leftover food. “I don’t understand why you need to bother me.” Bridgette said as she walked towards Roxanne. “The dog is still here!” “Huh? Which dog?” “Remember your co-worker’s dog?! … Look!” Roxanne said pointing at Polly who was curled inside Pilita’s house still asleep. Bridgette let out a cackle. “I thought we have finally gotten rid of that dog!” “Should we put a chain on him also?” Roxanne asked. “Don’t bother. I don’t think he is going anywhere. Just feed them both in separate

It had been raining non-stop for days due to the monsoon. Bridgette’s laundry had been in and out of the house as she tried to catch even just a little bit of sunlight but she had been unsuccessful trying to get them to dry. She said their clothes all smelled like molds because they were not drying properly. Brigida had been praying for the rain to stop. She said the water had found all the holes on their roof it felt like it was raining inside the house, too. They had placed all sorts of things to catch the droplets - pots, dipper, pails, and laundry tubs. They could all be seen scattered all over the house. All the members of the family, except for Brigida, Willy and Winonah took turns emptying them, and they did it quite a lot in the last few days. And what about Pilita? She did not have a place to go. Her dog house had been wet for three days straight. She couldn’t get a decent sleep because everything was wet. Her fur was wet, too, she smelled like dog even more

Polly watched Pilita sink. Her eyes were still open and was looking at him. Polly could not stand watching her sink like that. With all his might, he gathered all the emotions that were running in his body - fear, worry, confusion, but also hope, determination that he could throw a lifeline to his sinking friend. For the first time, he screamed. One that can be heard all around. He screamed - “Pilita! Pilita!” over and over and over again until Roxanne noticed what was happening. “Mother, your co-worker’s dog kept on barking!” Roxanne told Bridgette. “It’s probably cold. He’ll be alright.” Bridgette reasoned. “Yeah, I know. But the bigger dog is not. I think it’s drowning.” “We can’t do anything about that, Roxanne. We have our own worries to attend to.” “How can you say that, Mother?… Look, it’s sinking!” Bridgette turned to look and caught only Pilita’s black snout.

Polly drifted farther and farther away from where Pilita was. He felt tired. He felt like he had consumed all his energy from all the barking that he had done as he watched Pilita sink helplessly into the dark flood water. But if there was any consolation it was that he knew Pilita got saved all because he barked. Polly was not really a barker. He thought it ran in their family. His mother and brothers never really barked for no reason. In his heart of hearts, when he was very young, he knew he wanted to try it. He was curious what his voice would sound like. One afternoon, in one of his strolls with his mom, Lily, and brothers, Basil, Bitok, and Wacky, they went on top of a not-so-high hill. Their mother suggested that they practice barking there. She said the wind would carry their voices all across the fields right at the foot of the hill and no one would know it was them. His mother and brothers barked and bayed effortlessly. Before long, it was as if they were s

For a while, Polly was content roaming around the block with Lupita. It served him well to be around her. She loved to sing and he loved to dance that they would often catch each other bobbing their heads to whatever song Lupita was singing. Polly opened his eyes one morning and said, “I need a bath.” “That’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear you say!” Lupita replied. “What do you mean?” “Well, I didn’t want to say anything but your fur is really muddy and ahhmmm, you… ahhhm… stink a little." “I kinda know that.” Polly said without a tiny little hint of hurt, which Lupita was afraid she’d see after saying that. “You did?” “Well, when you started floating a little farther from me, I kinda got the hint.” “Look, Polly, there’s a really shallow stream over there. Maybe you can take a dip and I can take a sip of the clear water!” “Sounds gr

Polly felt like his crate was being lifted again. He was sliding and bumping on all four sides of the box he was in. He was not concerned with getting bruised anymore, he was more concerned about what was about to happen to him in that room. It happened so fast. Before he knew it, he felt some kind of plastic on his body. They were gloves - rubber gloves. Then he heard - “Oh my! This one’s pretty serious. His stomach is big. He’s losing fur and there’s something wrong with his leg.” “Tell me something I don’t know.” were words forming in Polly’s head hearing the lady say that. Then again, without warning, warm water hit his body. “Oh, look at that! Not even a whimper.” the lady said. And even with the mask on her face, Polly could tell she was smiling. “What a good doggie you are, huh!” as she continued to pour warm water all over him. “Oh, but you are trembling. Are you scared, little doggie?… You don’t have to be scar

Weeks passed. The kennels that used to be full were one-by-one being vacated. Every day, Luis and his companions would usher the dogs to the mini dog park or the play area where all the visitors looking for a pet to adopt were entertained.For a while, Polly sat in his kennel watching the dogs around him be fetched. Some of them would return by end of the day but some never managed to come back.“Oh, Willy is so lucky he got adopted today.” Polly overheard a dog say.“I am not surprised. He really is a handsome black dog.” another said.“We’ll have our day. Good luck to us tomorrow.” “Yeah! Good luck!” That brief conversation answered the questions that had been in his mind all along and he wondered whether he would have the chance to be considered for adoption just like the others. Every day, he would hear Luis say he was not ready. His skin had impr

Around three o’ clock in the afternoon, the big dogs from the park were being led back to the kennels. There were still quite a number of them left and by the way they were walking by the halls, they all looked tired from playing and stressed from meeting stranger after stranger after stranger.The mood is almost the same where Polly was. Most of the puppies that were left were just too tired they had fallen asleep.All of Lala’s and Jake’s puppies got adopted. Thanks to their ability to really play up each of their puppies stories to the guests. This strategy gave Lala the idea. She could at least try to get to know this little doggie’s story for a shot at beating Jake on the bet.Jake noticed how Lala was craning her neck around the room.“What are you looking for?” Jake asked as he approached Lala.Lala continued to move her head around as she answered - “Nothing!” when she spotte

It was tiring hopping from one situation to another. Polly missed the certainty that his mother and brothers brought to his life. It was truly a roller coaster ride for him since he was left alone.“Polly! Polly!” Polly heard voices calling his name in nothing short of a whisper. He looked around but saw no one.“Polly! Polly!” the voices called again. He stood up on all fours inside the closed crate. Polly looked at Tagpi and Bantay. It seemed like they were hearing the voices, too but preferred to just ignore it. Popo seemed to be doing the same.“Over here,Polly!” slowly he two heads started to appear from the left side of the front gate.“Martin? Bruno?…Am I dreaming?”The two dogs did not respond. They walked away.“Who’s Martin? Who’s Bruno? Popo asked.Polly sat before answering. “They are my friends.
The Dog Whose Leg Could Not Be Bent (Love Beyond Flaws) Chapter 46: Insecure
Polly always looked forward to mornings and afternoons just like Popo, Bantay, and Tagpi. At dawn, the three large dogs would assemble by the gate looking at the path where Terry would walk with a basket of food.Polly wanted to join them there. He was excited, too, but he was afraid he might rock the hierarchy. He felt then that it was only Popo who had truly accepted him. So he just content himself watching the three dogs welcome Terry. They jumped, they spinned at the mere sight of their human.“I do not know whether they had been trained but at least when it comes to patience and control at meal time, the three certainly displayed them to a T.”They just stayed in their open crates as Terry divided the food.“One, two, three bowls.” Polly counted. The bowl that Polly was using in the last few days was that thin microwavable plastic that always got ruined. Much like the temporary food bowls that Cornelio used f

“I can’t understand why Terry has to get another dog. There’s so many of us already!”Tagpi posed the question while the three of them were in their crates during school hours.Since there were only three crates, Polly had to join Popo in his. He was the only one nice enough to share the space with him.Polly pretended to be asleep. He wanted to find out what these dogs think about him.“We should get used to it. That’s how Terry is.”Bantay replied.“Popo, I can’t believe you are taking another responsibility. Remember the time you got separated with Cattlily? I knew how difficult that time was for you. It was hard to start a friendship with someone and then having it abruptly end.” Tagpi said.“What are you implying? That I should get mad at Terry for taking Cattlily away?” Popo whispered. He did not want to wake Polly up.
The Dog Whose Leg Could Not Be Bent (Love Beyond Flaws) Chapter 44: The Carton Box
Polly was looking around from inside the box. It was not too tall for him not to see the surroundings. Once in a while, he would glance at Terry. He couldn’t believe that she could do this to him. “I mean, she saved me from the storm, she kept me warm, she fed and even gave me a bath only to throw me away? That just does not make any sense.” Polly was busy with his thoughts that before he knew it, they were hailed in a three-wheeled vehicle, a tricycle, as they called it. The box where he was in was not on the floor. It was on her lap. Sometimes, he would feel her hand on his body when the ride would go over rough parts of the road. “Where could she be taking me?” Furry Friends Grooming Services and Pet Supplies. The tricycle stopped right in front of it. The shop looked really nice and clean and there were lots of pictures of purebred dogs and cats. It was much like Patty’s Pet Shop and Pet Supplies but a little sma

“So I am not dead!That’s one cause for a celebration.“And my human finally noticed me!”“Your human? I don’t think that’s right!”it was the white dog with brown patches that spoke, the leader of the three, the one that stayed in the middle crate.“Yeah, it’s premature for you to say that!”agreed the black one.Polly was about to say something when he felt his legs depart from the ground. When he looked behind him, he saw that his human was carrying him with her bare hands. He could feel all ten fingers, her palm supporting his whole body.He had never experienced being held like that by a human. He was so high from the ground. If he fell, he could really break more bones. But he looked at her face. She did not look like she was about to do that.She then held Polly with just one hand and opened the crates of the three larg
The Dog Whose Leg Could Not Be Bent (Love Beyond Flaws) Chapter 42: Saved For Now
Heavy rains continued to pour. So heavy that it felt like nails pricking every part of Polly’s body. There were no more children and adults passing that alley. It was just Polly stuck on one side of it. He sat there just trembling. His brain was commanding his body to move but his muscles refused to follow.He closed his eyes praying for the rain to stop and even the rain refused to do so. Instead, it went on in the same intensity for hours. It felt like the rain was pressing him further down onto the ground.“This is it. This is how I am going to die.” with no one in sight to rescue him, he was certain that he would not last for a few more hours under that heavy downpour.“But no! I can’t die like this! All I have to do is hold on a little longer. Just like what I’ve been doing time and again. I don’t have my mother and brothers to cheer me on, no Pilita or Lupita to share the agony with, no Martin and Brun

Polly hid behind the bushes right when the human he was waiting for was passing by.“I can’t believe you did that!” Dory said placing her left wing on her forehead.Polly spoke from where he was hiding. “What?”“Oh, come on out here. You just blew your chance to be noticed.”“I’m too scared. I haven’t recovered from what happened to Saucy. I don’t think I can take another heartbreak.”“You are just going to see if she will notice you! And if what those three dogs have told me were true, then I don’t think you will have your heart broken.”“I’m sorry but I don’t believe you can talk with those three big dogs. It’s just not possible.”“Okay, watch me.” Dory flew first to the branch of a narra tree in front of the crates.The teacher, Poll
The Dog Whose Leg Could Not Be Bent (Love Beyond Flaws) Chapter 40: The Day's Little Surprises
The sun was already up when Polly woke up. The Christmas lights were off. Those melodies that lulled him to sleep could no longer be heard. He fell asleep in full view of all the people passing by. He could have died just by being stepped on. He was so tired that all his guards were off when he fell asleep.He could feel his tummy rumbling. He had not eaten in the last few days. He had not groomed, too. He licked his paws and rubbed them off his face. He could taste the dust that were stuck thick onto his fur. It was awful! It was disgusting. “No wonder those cats and dogs were looking at me with disgust!”He continued to lick the parts of his body that he could reach. The wound that he had from the thorn of the bougainvillea plant and the cuts that he got from being dragged by the fishball vendor were healing but he had lost considerable amounts of fur on his body.Polly looked back at his tail, wagged him left and right. “W
The Dog Whose Leg Could Not Be Bent (Love Beyond Flaws) Chapter 39: Alone Again
Polly did not know how long he had walked. All he knew was that he must get as far away from that place as he could. But no matter how far he had gone, he was still being tormented by that moment that the man killed his friend. The scene was playing on repeat in his head. He couldn’t take it off. He willed his mind to think of happy thoughts. He willed his mind to sing that song that he used to sing with his mother, or that song that he used to sing with Pilita, or Lupita. None of them worked. He thought he had seen it all but nothing could ever be as terrifying as that moment. He wished that the last moment Saucy would bring with her was that moment when she felt she was needed and loved. He wished that it was that moment with the humans she used to have, or the ones with her puppies, or the ones with Martin, Bruno and her whole pack, or maybe the beautiful moments they had together. Thinking about those moments, he realized most of their moments were diffic
