Decided to write about someone else other than my boring life today. This someone is my precious...and she is Twinkle (my cute 8 years old shih tzu). Finally I can spell her breed correctly..up till yesterday I was still spelling it as shit tzu X).
As most of my time is spent in the new house nowadays, besides missing my mum, I've been missing Twinkle quite a bit. So unofficially, I moved her in with me over the weekend. There she is..following me to our new house with her leash, some of her favourite dog biscuits and her used dog bowl. Haha..quite easy to shift her eh, she don't have much worldly possessions. Opps, this reminds me, gotto move her clothes over too.
I got Twinkle when she was only 2 mths old. Me and my mum were shopping at Pet Safari 8 years ago looking for a dog. I din know exactly which dog to get initially but just wanted to get a dog with a flat face cos I thot they look very cute. As I was introduced to a dozen of silky terriers, chihuahuas..i spotted this tiny shih tzu sitting in the cage staring at me. Climbing up and down now and then as if trying to catch my attention to bring her home. I asked the shop assistant to bring her to me. When I first held her in my arms...it was scary as to how filmsy she felt...it feels like if I used more strength then I shld, it'll break her. So I was careful in my handling with her. We decided to bring her home...as she has not been vacinned, we had to bring her home in a crate.
Once home, I opened up the crate for her to come out...I still remember the first few nights she will bark non-stop cos we kept her in the crate. My mum (who used to hate dogs) even offered to accompany Twinkle by her cage so that she'll stop barking. I'll rush home everyday after school just to play with her. Her eyes will always brighten up whenever someone approaches her. As she is very small, her eye level is at our feet..so she'll chase after whatever feet she can see and knibble with her small tiny teeth. Hehe...
I call her Twinkle becos of the sparkle in her eyes, they're always so bright and round..reminds me of the stars.To our surprise, Twinkle is a very clever dog...only took us 1 week plus to paper train her. She enjoys biting her toys in her mouth and swinging her head to and fro as if trying to make her toy giddy..but I tink sometimes she gets giddy first. There was once she hit her head while doing this action...me and my mum were watch tv in the living room...she walked and lie down beside me..then she starting whining...this is when we realise she is in pain. I immediately reached over to rub her head. Luckily its nothing too serious.
Twinkle will be naughtly at times and will refuse to let us hug her..she is also playful and always wanna play catch whenever we try to reach out and hold her...but she is also sensitive at times especially when she knows we're busy or sad...she'll either crawl up and sit beside us or go to a corner and lie by herself. Dogs are such darling angels created by God...all they want from us is our attention and love...and looking at them, who can bear not to give them love.
I had to leave her alone in the new house cos I need to work today...hope she will be good and poo poo on the papers left for her...can't wait to go home and see her soon. Hope she'll be a good girl and wait for mummy to come home.
