My Puppy

It was fate that brought my puppy and me together.

On 5 June 2005, i am officially an owner of a 16 weeks west highland white terrier. He was purchased from a pet shop near tiong bahru. I remembered how i first saw him.. he was mischeviously playing with his siblings.. one brother and one sister.. they were all so cute. Before I got the dog, I've already plan what his name will be. 'WESTIE', it's his short form name from West Highland white Terrier.. i find that this name is cute, describes him most, so from that day onwards, he will have a shelter, food and drinks, a family to play with and a name.

I bought westie alot of stuff to make him feel 'home' which were the Puppy food, toys, clothing, shampoo, conditioner, dental toothpaste, toothbrush, combs, treats, bones, collars, leashes, calcium pills, bed, water containers.. and so on..

Westie is also a licenced dog! I've apply dog licence for him to make him a dog citizen of Singapore.. =)

Westie was not house-broken and I have to start off my house training with him.. it was tedious.. I confined him in a play pen with newspaper and sprayed housebreaking aid to help him .. but it don't works.. guess what? instead of peeing on the newspaper.. he chew the newspaper... =/ so i removed the newspaper and he peed on the floor.. I recalled that I have to mop the floor for 10+ times a day.. arghh..

Step by step.. whenever he pee or poo on the floor.. i will reprimand him and direct him to the right place to do his business.. It was then after months.. westie learned to pee on the pee tray which is located in the kitchen. I guess he wanted to stop me from nagging.. so he always do the right thing!

My family, dear and I love him lots.
