"A puppy or cat ya buy?" Mani asked. Right now me not even know.
The topic of pets never came up in our conversations which adds to the list of reasons we need to start spending MORE time together.
"Probably a puppy, she strike me as the puppy type" I shrugged.
Man nuh know nothing bout him girlfriend jah jah.
Waste man yuh chat to much, a your girl? worry bout eh girl weh yuh nuh have and liff up.
Gwan behave like yuh forget say a OUR girl man, soon show yuh mi motion.
Tuning out my subconscious, I watched as a lady walked up to us. Then wah make she happy so? she muss a get pay today.
"Can I help you guys find something special today?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.
"Yea sumn like that, we're looking for a puppy" Mani told her. "A surprise for someone special, I presume?" she asked.
Nuff suh?
"Ya, girlfriend need a little friend that's not me or a baby yet so" I shrugged as Mani laughed.
With a knowing nod, the woman led us to a separate enclosure where a litter of playful puppies tumbled about, their tails wagging eagerly as they chased one another around the pen.
"Wonder if Imani wah likkle company?" Mani smiled at the sight. Thing ya soften mi heart likkle bit fi real.
One puppy in particular caught my eye – a lively little ball of fur with bright eyes and a wagging tail.
"That one is a Maltipoo, she's a healthy one," the woman began, her voice filled with assurance. "Still a baby, but full of life."
Listening intently, I nodded. The lady continued, her words painting a picture of the puppy's personality.
Like me and da puppy ya coulda par.
"She's really quiet when she's comfortable," the keeper explained, a hint of fondness in her tone. "And she sleeps a lot, just like any growing pup would."
Nodding, I made my decision. "Alright, I'll take this one." Her eyes sparkled with approval.
"She's a wonderful choice!" she smiled, her voice filled with genuineness. Better make sure...carry her come put her back yuh f*ck.
