No no, we do not bring dogs to our kitchen to serve up as a hearty winter dish. Though I admit a couple of weeks ago a Chinese friend brought us a small box with “special food for men”. To our utter shock we discovered a series of small dog penises with balls still attached, ready for the wok. Valerie and me looked at it, disgusted, and insisted to make it disappear ASAP from the fridge. Thanks but no, I’ll take care of my manhood in another way.
Yesterday we had cute visitors in our kitchen: a whole gang of Pomeranian dogs, most around 4 months old. Chinese may eat dogs but others are just plain crazy of them as pets, treating them as kids.
The reason for the visit: a foreign friend wants to buy one to take back home to Europe. The dog seller introduced the oooohhhh so cute fluffy dolls, price (ranging from 3000 to close to 10,000 RMB). I liked the brownish ones, the seller said the color of one would later turn to red. They were the most active (and a bit naughty). We all found them so cute, unfortunately we cannot keep one ourselves, as my wife is a bit allergic to dogs and w have a too crazy life. The favorite one is the one on the scale. They are also called Loulou, Pompom.
