Slurpie came home with me after I braved 40mins of peak hour traffic, heavy rain and armed only with a cut trashbin box. He remained stiff throughout the journey in the box at the front passenger foot area. The moment we reached home and I placed him in his playpen, he morphed into an ostrich:
Luckily before i started to call the cops for being conned into buying an ostrich looking like a dog, he managed to move a little. The little fellow was quiet throughout that night and he walked cautiously with a hunched back showing how uncertain he was. The man came back early to meet his new baby whom we fear may be a dumb and inactive pup.
Day 2
We bought him to the vet to ensure he was in good health. He sat quietly between us, making no noise even when the other dogs at the vet barked at him. He liked to look at the road and the cars though. Vet ensure us he is one healthy boy and pretty big size too for his age. Weight: 2.2kg, 25cm by 26cm (withers and length). He started to warm up to us but was still timid....we were sighing that we have to accept his timidness and dumb nature.
Day 3
We discovered Slurpie's fox tail. He started to hop around, whined to be let out when we leave him alone in the playpen and was interested in everything. He was also able to pee and poo at the paper area. He did pee in the living room when we let him out as he did not dare to return to the playpen for fear of being locked in again.
In the next couple of days we realise Slurpie was also a mini sumo. He managed to shift his playpen into all sorts of shapes and one morning, we found him standing OUTSIDE the playpen barking at the people downstairs! Lil sumo managed to push his way out of his playpen! However he underestimated his mummy's creative mind. I filled the laundry box with water and used it to keep the playpen in place. Lil sumo now cannot push what is prob almost 15kg of water. =P
Slurpie also learnt the sit command. Smart pup! He also started chewing his make-shift DHL house. We wonder how much he has eaten though. Poor pup however started coughing, we suspect he caught it at the vet. It broke our hearts to hear him wheezing and coughing like he was out of breath. Vet issued antibiotics and the no shower order. To clean his ears we resorted to doing it at the lift lobby as only when he is out of the house does he stay still, afraid to move. So from dumb/inactive to sumo/smartass chewer, we have now one smelly pup.
Update: Smelly pup can now play the STAY game. This lil guy really is a smart dog. From refusing to budge once we clip on the leash (plus a real frowning look that cracks us up) to now trotting with the lease while attempting to bite it, he picks things up so fast. He also understand the word NO and while he cunningly tries to pretend and get on the carpet or into the rooms thinking we are not watching, the moment he hears NO, he backs off. Sometimes he would let us know how displeased he is by giving us a snobbish bark but he would than lie and wait outside the room. We are proud of lil smelly
