She would come from wherever she would be to welcome me at my apartment. She gets into tumultuous joy when she sees me in the garden area, where I sit in the afternoon to sunbath in the Sun. And in the evenings when I make coffee for myself, she stays nearby to give me company. Leela truly loves me.
(She is a beautiful doggie who stays near my apartment).”

“I tightened my hold on Nisa's leash since Longganisa and his dog, Poe, if I remembered correctly, were barking and circling each other warily. Nisa calmed down after a few good sniffs. Poe still had a low growl going till Xander stooped and rubbed his neck---Poe's eyes half-closed and his tongue flopped out in pleasure. What a good boy.
"This is Longganisa," I said, stooping down. "And that's Poe, right? Could I pet him?"
"Sure. He's quite friendly; just make sure you don't move too quickly since sudden movements startle him."
I held out my hand for him to sniff, and when he lowered his head to me, I gave him a good scratch behind the ears. "Nisa absolutely loves attention, so feel free to pet her if you want."
Xander obliged, and he soon had Nisa flopped on her back for belly rubs. He squatted beside the dogs, both of them vying for his attention, which he gladly gave.”

“The first day we met, she kept on looking at me with her tender and sensitive eyes. And from that day, whenever she and I met, I have felt strange sensations erupt inside my heart. She would come from wherever she would be to welcome me at my apartment. She gets into tumultuous joy when she sees me in the garden area, where I sit in the afternoon to sunbath in the Sun. And in the evenings when I make coffee for myself, she stays nearby to give me company. Leela truly loves me.

Sometimes during my evening online classes, she suddenly starts barking loudly. And I tell my students "She is Leela. The doggie who stays near my apartment. Kindly wait for 1 or 2 mins and she will be quite.”
