Certainly I’ve been wanting to have a housemate for Xiao Bi – no this post is not about me having baby. :P But I haven’t really spent the time to find one. I just feel that when the time is right, the right dog will just be there waiting to come home. And I was somehow right… so far. :) Two days back I was at the regular pet shop buying beef cubes for Xiao Bi. While waiting for the uncle to pack the stuffs – which, normally the aunty is the one doing it – I somehow saw a notice on his counter stating about Golden Retriever pups for sale. I started chit-chatting with the uncle. One thing lead to another, and I was saying that I was kinda interested in getting a medium-sized, short-haired pup, if any is up for adoption. The uncle looked at me and asked if local dog (meaning mongreal) is OK for me. I said, yeah, why not? Dog is dog, anyway. He then told me that his neighbour just one door away from his shop is having a batch of puppies up for adoption, and mentioned that they probably suit my requirements. He offered to bring me over and have a look. To make the long story short, after checking them out, I went back to get permission from my parents (which they didn’t 100% agree actually), and the next day evening, I’ve got this black little puppy home. :) The first 2-hour was testing period for Xiao Bi and the pup – we name her Coco, because when we asked my little niece who is this little one, she said ‘gou gou’ (dog in Mandarin). LOL! Xiao Bi was definitely very excited by Coco was kinda scared and reserved. It’s a new environment for her after all. Two hours later, they were already wrestling in the garden like nobody’s business. At night, Xiao Bi gave her favourite spot to Coco, while she slept nearby watching her. :)
The photo is a little blur as it was taken at night. The black little thing at the left bottom corner is Coco.
This was taken this morning. Still wrestling. It might seem that Xiao Bi was trying to chew Coco’s head off. But no. She was rather gentle – in fact very gentle for her standard. They are best pals now. :) And btw, taking photos of Coco is not easy because most of time, the only thing you can see is a whole ball of black! The weather these days is making my life really difficult. Not to mention the monkeys who come on a daily basis for the rambutans at the neighbours – it’s causing Xiao Bi to bark non-stop every time. ********** Sometimes it’s really easy to realise that you are just not as important for someone anymore. Or is this only true for the girls? You know, the instinct-thingy. You’ll start to realise that, that someone just couldn’t care how you feel and what you want. You’ll start to realise that, that someone would even start to ignore the things that he/she has ‘promised’. You’ll start to realise that there wasn’t even an offer to patch things up. And there goes the importance. I’ve always thought that I’ve had a very bad experience on how a relationship ended. But now when I looked back, I’d laugh at myself because the signs were so obvious but I just chose to ignore. Sometimes being too confidence in oneself, and believing that you can make anything happen is a little too dumb. I try to remind myself everyday now. ********** The fact that Xiao Bi is still barking at the monkeys like nobody’s business is really killing me. @.@ … unless your dog enjoys it. :) The main reason for me to start growing wheatgrass is to offer to Xiao Bi occassionally for her to graze or eat. I read about this idea in my dog bible, Dr Pitcairn’s book. When I started growing about 1-2 weeks ago, I was really glad that this thing is amazingly easy to grow. What’s more rewarding is that Xiao Bi enjoys it A LOT! I wanted to take a photo of her chewing on the wheatgrass that I’ve cut off the pots but didn’t get the chance to do so. She would practically come near me with the expression as if I’ve got her favourite snacks in my hand. She has been eating them as morning or afternoon snack for about a week or so. I’ve also chopped off some and included in her meal once. Since this healthy little grass seems to contain a lot of vitamins and minerals – which I have been kinda worried that she is lack of, I’m really glad that she enjoys it. It’s definitely better than her grazing the random wild grass out there during her regular walks – what’s more, it’s organically grown in my own garden. :) |
