Angel

Biong biong biong......a small black creature hopped across the unlit road behind some shop houses one late night in February 2011. Late as in 2355hrs. "Stop!" I yelled at John. "What???" asked John. "I think I saw a puppy at the shop house behind us." I said.  So John made a u-turn and we went back to the shophouse.  True enough, there was a small furry puppy on it's own scavenging the rubbish bin.  We stopped and approached the pup cautiously as we didn't want to startle it.  Calling out to the pup, it turned around and started wagging it's puny tail and came bouncing up to us, licking and pawing.  It was super cute and it was so young...i believed to be around 2mths old. "We can't leave her here, she won't survive the night." I said. "There are gangster dogs around this area & they'll maul her to death." John looked at me & went "so what you intend to do?" I gave him the most pitiful look and he went "ok lar!!! we can bring her home BUT she's your responsibilty!!! Also she's very cute lar."  hahahahhaha that did it!!!! He has succumbed to both her cuteness and my pitiful look!!! That's how Angel came to live with us.  Here are some pictures of her when she first came home with us......

Brought her to the vet for vaccination & the entire clinic was fascinated with her.  Everyone was fawning over her & like all puppies, she runs rather hops all over the place!! At first glance, she looked like a German Sherperd Mix..she had the markings on her chest and her fur was super soft but now as she grew bigger...she looks more like a Mix-with-don't know-what breed.....hahahahahaha

Angel is very bubbly and has a happy-go-lucky character.  She doesn't know what is danger, what can be or cannot be eaten...she's just go with the flow.  But one thing about her is her independence and her knowledge of where to do her business.  I didn't need to train her, she just knows where to go.  She can be left alone on her own..she amuses herself with her toys which I have been buying like crazy for her.  She loves her bears which she will toss into the air and catch it, followed by thrashing the poor bear left and right!!! She decapitated her toy chicken the last time round...imagine if it was a live chicken....gracious me!!!

Now that she's grown bigger, she's become more of a hugger and 10x more rambunctious than before. She loves to hug John's legs & won't let go....kinda very loving.. When she was younger, she had a playmate - Lucky my chihuahua but now I can't put them together cos she'll smother Lucky to pieces!!! I once put Lucky and her together & she grabbed Lucky in a bear hug and poor Lucky was struggling to get away!  Am trying to mix her with my other dogs but not much success at the moment cos she too rambunctious and will pounce on them..they are old dogs so they don't like to be pounced on.  Probably later on when she matures a bit more, I'll put her with them again.

One flaw Angel has is she's very very aggressive when food is concerned.  She will growl and snap at anyone or any dog that comes near her when she has her treats or food.  This is one habit that I'm trying to train her out of it but it's not getting into her brains!!! Think I need Cesar Milan to help me out!!!

For a puppy so young, she has developed the guarding instincts.  She will chase any bikes that goes past my house, barks at strangers and sort of alert every dog including ME with her ferocious barking!!!! I always pity the postman and rubbish truck man, they always get a earful from her...hahahahahaha

At 8 months old, I guess she's still considered a puppy & hasn't developed her brains fully to understand much..she only understands "Sit", "Stop It" and won't eat medicine!!!!! Used to be able to just feed any medicine without any problem but now must trick her...lol She gets to roam the garden during the day when my other dogs are inside the house but has to go back to her cage at night as Casey and Max will be outside the house during the night.  If I don't do this, I'll never get my bed to sleep on!!!! All in all, no regrets rescuing Angel cos she doesn't give much problems except for her aggression towards people and dogs when food is concerned & also her heck-care-attitude!!!! hahahahaha.

Here are some photos of her bigger now....enjoy!
