FRIENDSTER: 21 FEB 2009

THIS IS HOW JOHNNY CAME INTO OUR LIVES AND TOUCHED OUR HEARTS...

Dear friends of panda  @_@
Hi... Remember Big Dog's companion? (refer to previous e-mail)
He got caught on wednesday (30/10/02)  :-/
I was at PJ and my granny called at noon. She said a neighbour told her our White Dog has been dragged into a van, and the dog-poachers whacked him with a stick!!
Called my cousin bro who immediately took time-out fr his boss and he rushed to the puchong dog-pound fr his office in putrajaya. White Dog wasnt there...
I was the one who started feeding him when I saw him with Big Dog. He growled and snarled at me, but I offered him some biscuits. he didnt trust me at first,but soon, we all started feeding the two of them and he would prance around and wag his tail, behaving just like a kid...

Since they caught Big Dog, White Dog has been rather lonely. We showered all our attention to him, he grew in size and trusted us (Big Dog used to snarl at him whenever we feeded both of them).
FYI, I still miss Big Dog. I still imagine her walking gracefully up the street to greet me when I get down fr the car to open my gate... :(

White Dog's a silly-looking dog, with his tongue hanging out most of the time. Even his table manners.... !!!
Big Dog never gobbled her food and ate gracefully, unlike White Dog :)
White Dog's still a juvenile.
He couldnt stand it when we kept him in our compound.
He'd be restless and beg to be let out; esp when he sees a female-dog.. or.. ermm..... B*tch :P :P :P :P
Naughty fella......
So, doggie wasnt at the dog-pound when my cousin bro got there. So he had lunch and returned at about 2pm.
Still no trace of him. So, we decided to meet there after working hours. I borrowed my friend's leash and muzzle and was already on LDP when my cousin called.
Fei-Fei wasnt there...
My heart dropped to my feet...
But I wasnt ready to give up.
Thursday- i left for puchong with high hopes...
He wasnt there..
Still not willing to give up,  drove to Setapak's dog-pound and was told that the dogs in my area will be put to sleep immediately after they were caught.
I refused to believe it, I went to SPCA in Ampang, saw a lot of nice doggies and kitties there.
Negative...
My Fei-Fei wasn't there.
Tears welled up in my eyes when I left SPCA...
I thought my Fei-Fei was gone with Big Dog.
When I was driving back, I imagined White Dog and Big Dog walking up the street to greet me...
That really broke my heart... :(
The next day, we all left for work with heavy hearts.
I was driving to my aunt's place with my mom when my granny called to inform us that our neighbour saw Fei-Fei in the van when she went to bail out her dog.
I made a detour and sped home, driving like a mad-woman, called the number that she left and everything seemed so bright and nice!! :)
The Indian man waited for us with Fei-Fei and two other stray dogs. evidently, he was waiting for someone to pick up the dogs (and "bribe" him and his superiors)
He demanded RM150 , but we managed to bargain til RM120.
He said White Dog's really lucky coz like what I've been told, the dogs caught in the viccinity of Ampang Jaya would be put to sleep immediately and NOT fed to the lions/tigers in the zoo as most ppl assumed!
So, we paid him, he carried White Dog into the car boot and he went off happily with his pocket full of money and our hands full of trouble!
That silly fella decided to explore my car and walked all over, shedding fur and drooling all over us, he also wanted to come to the front. I had to pull over several times and the journey which normally takes 15 mins, took us half an hour.
He was in shock and was very afraid.
He must be starving and dehydrated too for he gulped dowm more than 3 litres of water!!
Then, after a couple of hours after he's settled down, we fed him and he fell
asleep in my cousin's porch as he was being patted by us.
Of course he feels tired, he must have stayed up for the past couple of days, worrying about his fate.
Now, he's better, but my poor car smells like him! YUCK!
Used up a whole bottle of Febreze, put some fragrance oil. Yet... it smells horrible!
What a price to pay!
I think it'll be sometime b4 i can get rid of the doggie smell. FYI, he havent taken a bath at all!!!

So, we managed to get him back, we're all happy (except my car!) and we're gonna get him a license and try to keep him in our compound. he doesnt like being cooped up....
Next time u come to my house or send me home, I'll introduce you to Fei-Fei.. The silliest looking doggie who's a darling (minus the smell!)
:-D
Happy Carrie
