Often there's people who ask me about snowie's story. and i never thought of writing one down.
recently my memory's been really bad. so before i forget everything, let me just note her story here. this post is dedicated to Melyssa since ur the last one who asked bout it.
========================================================================
Back in 2002 year end. Our family - mine and my cousin yoyo. we were all crazy bout having dogs. and you know how hard is it to have your parent get u a dog? Yoyo gotten her first dog, a french bulldog named jack. what i said to my parents was.."see they gotten one".
it is really lucky that Jack is a really really really reallyyyyyyyy x100 GOOD BOY! he's slow but he's smart. that, somehow convince my dad a little, to get me a dog.
Oh, i havent mention that all that happened in Penang, Bukit Mertajam. so i guess that makes my Snowie a "Penang Lang".
If you're familiar with dogs, you'd know that snowie is ..Obviously a mix breed. day before i got snowie, i booked another breed that look like snowie from the breeder. the next day when i got there, i point to this creamy white fluffy puppy in a cage jumping together with a pug beside it. that naughty puppy is snowie. and i actually mistook her as the puppy i wanted to buy the day before. (how can they look so much alike???)
I was all excited showing my parents. and suddenly the breeder came out and said "i'm sorry the puppy u want, my wife accidentally sold them out". (obviously that was a lie)
after that i got so sad that the puppy i want will not be going home with me. since i was so excited seeing snowie, and since she look so alike with the one i wanted, so we start discussing bout the breed.
it's funny. this guy is actually a con man. he say she is a breed call Cockpoodle. i search the book and said there's no such breed. and then he say, it's a new type of breed, not so popular yet. we bought snowie with rm400.
the breeder struggle to get me the cert. then he gave me 2-3 paper with some foreign words we do not understand. fine. after we got back to subang, we ask from shops to shops vet to vet. no such breed. we called up the breeder. he said "then i free u another dog ok?".
LOL
so that's where she come from. BUT! maybe i need to thank him for mixing such great dog for me. snowie is special snowie is unique. and i learned alot from snowie.
Still, i'm so excited for my first dog. i waited for her first poop, her first urine her first bath. so excited. our friends stop by to help train the dog, play with her. when i bath her i'd wet myself. then i trained her everyday. sometimes it was so tough i cried so hard. many times she ran away from the house and we'd call up people to find her. or late to school because of this ran away dog. you'd find her get kicked out of a malay neighbour's house.
not to forget. because of this girl, i fought with my family several times. just to protect her. i was in high school and i got no income and pocket money. when she's sick i tried so hard to make my father bring her to the vet. basically, she's a trouble ;)
but well, after all the trouble there's improvement. she grow up so fine. well trained. she didn't know any special tricks but at least she won't get out of the house. that's the best already!
To be honest, the real moment i've been taking care of her, is this two years. when she's 8. previously we got lazy and throw her to the maid. so lucky that we don't hire maid anymore. i get a big slap on my face. WAKE UP! i need to take care of this girl.
it is a real long story when it comes to snowie. because it's a 10-15 year thing. if you're lucky enough to yum cha with me (i seldom go out). i'll tell you more!
Conclusion is, snowie's still a trouble ;P but a really sweet trouble i'd like to have till the end of my life! Love you so much snowie :)
Snowie's sister and mother,
