This is My Life......

My short and sweet experience as a doggie owner....

Returning home near 11pm, after parking my car at the roof top of the multi-storey carpark, my missing mobile got me searching high and low in my car for near 5min...

Relieved to locate my mobile, I locked my car and turned and there he was! A shaggy-looking "mini schnauzer".

After feeding him some water, I continued my way home and trotting behind me was that 跟屁虫....

For the next 2 days, I went around the neighborhood to look for his owner, putting up notice, sending him to the vet to locate his embedded microchip, but no valild...

While we wait patiently and hopeful for his owner to come, it was a great experience to be a doggie owner for 2 days, walking him, feeding him, bathing him, playing with him or just looking at him sitting under the sun in my balcony.... He is so well-trained that he only relieve himself when i bring him out, never crossing the boundaries that i set at my house.... When we returned home to him, his thrill and happiness would be roof-high!

Knowing that I cant commit to him, i held back my feeling for him... avoiding all means to build bonds with him. It was really a tough task especially with his puppy-eyes.... he is always the 跟屁虫 of the house but yet keeping to the rules of the house... Too good to be true...

After 2 days, I decided to post ads on various pet forum with the advise by the cute stall assistant in Pet Safari.

And soon, a owner email me and with much verification done. 跟屁虫 finally got to return home happily....

According to the owner, 跟屁虫 aka Lucky ran away because he went on a chase with the stray cat... haha... i believe that.. he is really hyperactive...

These 2 days were a great experience being a doggie foster especially for such a well trained doggie... although mummy will never allow us to keep a pet dog ourselves, looking after 跟屁虫 was a great joy and taught me an important lesson about the bonding a dog and a stranger can have in such a short time....and I shall not forget his finally farewell "kiss" before he went home with owner... your gradititude is felt~~ Take care, 跟屁虫... Dun run away again!!
