I-lan is really getting old

Meeting up with my U Waterloo friends in Hong Kong. In fact we were housemates at one point of time. It's been almost 6 years we haven't seen each other. That's really something....

I was stroking I-lan while sitting in the small bench in the balcony and found the huge bug in his right eye lid. Geez... That's the blood sucking lice. The female ones can grow as big as your pinky figer nail, grey and puff with blood. It is very hard to get them off, since they bite into the skin, pulling them off forcefully (due to extreme disguistion) often results in tearing off a piece of meat or skin from your beloved pet. I-lan was bleeding after I pull the female bug off his eye lid, I felt so sad about it.

I aslo found a group of male bugs reside inside I-lan's ear, I cannot stop the urge to ge them all off, although knowing there might be other thousands eggs laid in the hair shafts. My dad came around to see his best friend, mumbling that he didn't know that I-lan was infected because of his poor eyesight. I asked for a container to store those lices, he gave me his astray and vowed the lices will not ever get out of it because he is going to deal with them later. I did my best to clean I-lan's both ears, he is not very happy that I am using my eyebrow twiser working my way through. Yet, I get them all out, I hope. We still need to bath I-lan with the medicien to kill those eggs, or at least, stop them from reproducing.

The next day when I was sitting in the living room, trying to finish my movie "the crying game", to my most horror, I saw the red little male dog lice crawling on the floor. I ran to the astray and found there were no lices in the tray. "Dad, I thought you have dealt with them already", my dad looked up from his newspaper with very sorry face "Oh, I forgot". The lices were all out at large, may have gone back to I-lan (or me, I squrried to the bathroom and wash my hair frantically).

I also noticed that I-lan's eyes are not as clear as before but having a light, greyish green cloud inside. He is losing his vision as my father told me. It is very sad. Is he aging happily?
