Doggy Tales

Having a dog around the house and looking after it as almost exactly like looking after another child! I've had Pebbles living with us for nearly two weeks now and it's made a lot of difference to our lives. Instead of having two hyper active boys to look after,we now also have to keep an eye out for Pebbles.

But the good thing is at least she's a really well behaved dog. Aside from tailing me or wifey all around the house, she doesn't misbehave (something I wish the boys would learn from her) and she doesn't even bark, aside from the occasional short bark at lizards or something that catches her eye. She's also the worlds biggest coward cos the slightest sudden sound or move will have her scurrying for cover ... LOL!

It's also an eye opener for us to be looking after a dog. Both wifey and me haven't really looked after a dog before, not this kind of house dog anyway. I had a dog or two during my childhood days, also a mongrel which really doesn't need any looking after so having Pebbles is a new experience for us.

She constantly shadows us around the house. And when we sit down for the evening to watch TV, there she'll be on the couch with us slowly working her way between us trying to get her favourite tummy rub. And when we sit down to surf, there's she'll be at our feet or between our chairs and table sleeping away.

She really loves having the presence of someone around and we're both are so taken in with her that we tend to pamper her to the max and she loves it. You can see it by the wagging of her tail which I told Anny is on auto wag ... LOL!

The only saddening part for us is when we go out for dinner or shopping and have to leave her on her own. You can see the sadness in her eyes cos she knows we're going out without her. But the moment we get home, she'll be jumping for joy. It warms the soul :D

Besides the slight scare we had over here two days ago, she's been a pretty good doggy. She doesn't make a mess of the place. She has her own toilet spot and she'll always go there if she needs to do her business, big or small which is a good thing. The best part is she never makes a sound and will definitely never make a good guard dog ... LOL!

But she's an adorable creature that has me looking at her every ten minutes as I write this post (she's sleeping between wifey and me now) and it brings a smile to my face. She's actually pretty tired today from all the playing around she did but she won't really go to her sleeping spot under the bed and call it a night until wifey and me finish our surfing sessions. Once we're done and we head to bed, she'll sleepily amble along to her spot under our bed. She's a really loyal little dog and wants to always be as close to us as she possibly can.

Even our shopping routine has changed. Instead of just having to look for glass tile's we're now also hanging around the pet food section even more buying her all kinds of goodies and treats. I think the boys are going to be complaining that we show her too much attention one of these days ... LOL!

Gee, I've been talking about her so much that I think this blog is turning out to be a blog all about her. Like Bem said in my other blog, maybe I should change the name of my blog to Pebble's blog. Bem, you're a riot la buddy ... LOL! But then it's better I talk about her than be my usual self and complain and bitch about anything and everything right? LOL!

But before I really sign off, here's a picture taken of her sleeping by our feet in this little urmmm, bed made for her by wifey. Sorry about the bad image quality, taken with my cell phone. Isn't that a sight to melt the heart?
