Snow was brought back from the animal shelter (SPCA Ampang) on 25th Nov 06. She was only 2.5months then. She was not used to travelling in the car, or probably it was her anxiety being in the moving vehicle - she vomitted twice. Poor doggie. She then rested her head on my feet, probably that made her feel better.
The moment she arrived to our home, she started sniffing around the house, and immediately turned into a hyper-active and happy puppy! Started 'attacking' us, jumping around happily.
We did notice the strange 'gaggling' sound that she made after she started to get excited. It sounded as if it was from her throat. Having no previous experience in handling puppies, our initial guess was that she may be having a very bad sore throat.
In the evening, we brought her on a car-ride again to nearby pet shop. She started feeling uncomfortable again. It was then we learnt that the sound she was making was due to her cough. She was quite attracted to the rabbits in the pet shop. Got her a large cage (RM190), a pack of puppy food and a red bowl.
The petshop owner was quite discouraging. She pointed out that Snow probably some skin disease as she had some red marks on her forehead and also some scars on both her hind legs.
But as we were determined to take good care of her, we dismissed those remarks and it only would make us even more determined to give our best Tender Loving Care to her.
House-breaking
Her first 'pee' was inside her own cage, but that was the only time that she ever soiled her cage eversince.
Night time, the joviol puppy fell asleep next to me while I was watching tv.
Forcing her to sleep in the cage was difficult, as she started screaming, whining and crying. But finally she kept quiet. Checked on her at 3.00am. Still asleep soundly.
Snow's first day home.
A great journey begins.
