22 August 2010, 8:43 PM | The Day I Brought Him Home

One Sunday afternoon, I was reading the classified and saw an ad "puppies for sale" at Pasir Ris Farmway. So I randomly asked him if we can go over to see dogs and since it just round the corner, he agreed. When we went to the second farm Leonard and I saw so many puppies and we got so excited. Dad mumbled "See only hor.." I then whispered to Leonard "Eh Leh tell papa to buy leh." He ran over and told my dad and he was like "you know how to look after or not?" I immediately turn to him and say "OF COURSE LA!" And he agreed we could get a puppy home but on a condition that I have to be fully responsible for the dog. Initially, I wanted a Shih Tzu but I did not see any I like. Dad drove to Simei Pet Safari but the dogs sold there was super pricey and they just sold the last Shis Tzu! Went to Jalan Kayu next which dad claim they sell dogs there but when we arrive there was like only three dogs? Because I was deem on getting a puppy that day, dad drove back to Pasir Ris Farmway. Mum then suddenly said..

Mum: I know la. You want the first dog which you saw at the second shop right.
Me: *shocked face* HOW YOU KNOW?! I didn't even say anything.
Mum: Cos I am your mother.

Its so scary how she managed to read my mind just like that when I did not say a word about that dog I wanted. So we went back to the shop and that puppy cost $1380. But no, I did not get that dog because dad say we should look around before deciding. We went on to anotHer pet shop located just ahead and there I saw SNICKERS! Immediately, my parents and I (I don't care about Leonard views) was attracted to him! And ta-dah! I brought him home!

Though for the past week, its been really tiring cleaning after him and waking up early to feed/play/clean him. But I have never felt so happy doing so! :)
