I have picked up all kinds of dogs: tight, dwarfs, one-eyed; one-eyed dogs like the one we call Captain Morgan. My brother Esteban was on his way to work at the bank and he saw him all fucked up, he called me on my cell phone: “There is a dog that has a bad eye, he is a mouser, can you come and get him? We can still help him”. And there goes the other one. The dog wouldn't let himself be caught, he was like a slippery salamander, he was also fierce. There was a veterinarian nearby and I went to him for help; he caught it with a noose. The doctor checked the dog's injured eye; apparently another dog had hurt it with a deep bite; it was too late to save the eye, surgery with sutures was required. My brother and I paid the vet, who charged us half of what he normally would have charged for that kind of surgery, he was a good fart. I posted pictures of Captain Morgan on Facebook and we found him a good home; with beautiful girls, what will become of him?
