Happy

The family's so happy! Happy came to us last Saturday 21 March 2009. Sine then, the home is filled with cheerful cries of "Happy!! Happy Come here! Happy Stay! Happy Stand! Happy Fetch!!"

Happy is our new Dog! She is a beautiful mix of 'something' and 'something' = MONGREL

I got to know about Happy through the lady who sells chicken at the market. Apparently the previous owner has nose cancer and the doctor said 'No dogs!" They're looking for someone to adopt their beloved dog. Otherwise, it'll have to go to SPCA.

Growing up, we always have dogs around. But since I got married and have kids, we did not have any pets. My record isn't very good when it comes to dogs.

About 3 years ago, we got a stray dog home. We named her Princess. But Princess was sick, and the vet advised us to put her to sleep.

Then a friend gave us "Max", a mix-bred Terrier who was a bit mad. The kids were terrified of him. For such a small dog, it could bite! So, we gave it away to my aunt's friend who has a big Mastiff. They're adorable together, but when Max got out of line, a growl from the Mastiff is enough to make Max cower.

After that we adopted a 'vegetable-dog' aka market-mongrel named Bubbles. Bubbles was great until, one night as I was driving my car into the house, she broke free of her chain and ran off. She came back to the gate and when I opened it for her, she ran off again. She kept at this several times until I got fed-up! It's already 1 am! So I left Bubbles outside and never saw her again!

Now we've got Happy!!! Happy has been to dog training school. She knows where her 'toilet' is (on a patch of grass in front of the house). She knows that when we start the car, she must go into her cage (or she might be runned-over). We don't even have to lock the cage! She's gentle and friendly. She's obedient. She's clean and disease free. She doesn't touch our shoes! She's a fantastic dog, and we're happy with Happy!!

It's so nice hearing "Happy, Happy, Happy" ringing through the house.
Hmm... I'm thinking... maybe we should get another dog and name it "Money"!
