anyway mum sent me pictures of it from her phone. exact creamy colour as Coco when she was a puppy (they get whiter as they age) - simply adorable! i'm going to get my parents to bring her over to kl soon, i don't care.
baby Kylie! (mum's idea, not mine. she can name her britney for all i care)
(edit: apparently my mum's cousin's daughter is called Kylie so we can't call her that - honestly i don't see what's the big deal because i don't even know who that is *rolls eyes*. now the poor little thing doesn't have a name! suggestions please!)
from the pet shop -> groomer's -> HOME!
and how does Kiki the grumpy antisocial miniature pinscher feel about this???
she is NOT happy (hence the rather tulan look). but i know she'll get over it because she has been so lonely ever since losing her one and only friend.
Kylie is my mum's 6th/7th poodle, can you believe it? we're all about (toy) poodles!
why we love toy poodles:
- they're small and easy to handle.
- they're gentle, sociable and loyal. (but i guess most dogs are)
- they stick to you like glue! teehee. they make you feel important!
- they're good around children (not that it matters to me, but it saves you the trouble of having to cage them up when children who are afraid of dogs come by)
- they're very intelligent and learn very quickly.
- they have a relatively long life (~13-15 years - Coco died when she was 14).
- they're not known to be plagued with many diseases (though they're prone to cataract and ear infections)
- they're not noisy (i.e. they don't bark that much).
- they're clean (Coco had a habit of wiping her feet on the floor mat each time she came into the house from the garden... and nobody taught her that).
- they're damn cute la okay?
you should not keep a poodle for a pet if:
- you're not willing to take time to groom it/spend money sending it to a groomer.
- you're not able to spend time with it because poodles are very dependent on humans and they need attention.
- you're planning to keep it caged up 24/7 (then again if you want to do that with other dogs i suggest that you just get a rodent).
- you're not willing to buy good dog food for it!
- you're going to treat it like a soft toy.
- you want it to guard your house... because trust me, it won't do the job.
- you're going to keep it outside - NOT because they need to be spoilt and be kept as in-house dogs... but if you're stupid enough to leave your poodle outside someone is going to steal it. =P
- you think having a poodle is sissy.
- you don't like small dogs.
- YOU HATE ALL DOGS.
hehe.
i'm excited to meet my new dog! well at least i get 9 months with her next year (NINE MONTHS holyshit what am i supposed to do then).
but of course, no one can replace my dear Co.
the best doggie in the world. rest in peace. :)
