Baby

 

Photograph of Baby, my first dog, a Shih Tzu

My first dog that I had was this dog, above, named Baby.  Richard drove to the pet shop at Balestier Road one day.  The shop owner chose this dog for us, put him in a pen, and we saw him playing so actively with the other dogs.  So we decided to buy him.  It was a gift from Richard.  Richard paid for the dog and on that day he won lottery, gaining the money back... 

I doted on him so much.  Baby was so pampered.  I bought him fresh pork to eat everyday.  I cut up the meat and boiled them for him.  He always finished the food.  Sometimes I gave him minced meat too.  He was so used to eating fresh pork that he did not want to eat dried food that was given to him.  Every week I bathed him too. We would bring him to Fu Shan Garden for a walk as well.

Look at the photograph above, he was so proud.  We specially bought the red cap from Bangkok.  If you want to buy a similar cap, Lazada has this red cap that looks nice.  Check it out here.

Baby loved to guard the door.  He always laid at the door, whenever any strangers walked past, he would bark at them.  He was such a passionate dog as well.  He loved to kiss me, as can be seen from the photograph below.

I had Baby before I was pregnant.  During my pregnancy, I was not able to tend to him at all.  In the end, we had to give him away.  My fifth uncle adopted him.  After that, it was known that Baby was too fierce, his temper was so bad and they had to give him away to other people.  That was the last news I heard of him.  Forever missed you Baby.

Dogs Cafe

In December, Isaac wanted a dog so badly.  He wanted to buy a dog, but we already have a cat!  How will it be like to have a dog?  He did not even touch a dog before.  So Clara suggested that we go to the dogs cafe at Bugis, We are the Furballs.  

On the first trip there, we did not know that we need to book a timing.  So we booked a slot for January to go back again.  Isaac was so disappointed that he was not able to enter that day.  

The day finally came.  Isaac was so excited.  We were finally able to see dogs!

When we reached there, we need to queue up again.  Then we paid the entrance fees and read the rules and regulations.  Then we ordered our drinks.  There were quite a number of rules.   The ones that I can remember is that we are not supposed to carry the dogs.  Something that is not at all fun to do.  So with these restrictions, we only can look at the dogs.  There were not many dogs inside and the place is not too big.  The only fun thing that we can do inside is to feed the dogs, which we need to buy the food from them.

Not all the dogs are healthy.  This Shih Tzu, shown above was sick.  He was 'bedridden' and was not able to move about.  

So that was a first time experience at the dogs cafe!
