My Dog Diary

As of today, I’m really proud to say that I’ve been able to bring Xiao Bi out for her normally evening, sometimes morning walk for a continuous 2-3 weeks!

I believe I wouldn’t be able to do it for so long, if it wasn’t because of Xiao Bi’s friend, Bobby, and his friendly master. Xiao Bi has never been so happy before and I really can see that she is looking forward everyday for her walking time to have a little play time with Bobby. And really, Bobby’s master has been very supportive and always allow them to play for a really long time. Sometimes they just wrestled on the road for a good 45 minutes to an hour! And that’s the time we had chit chats on their diet, exercise, behaviour, etc.. It’s so fun to have someone accompanying the normally boring walk and have knowledge and info exchange at the same time!

Looking at the very steady Bobby always makes me more confident in trainng the forever rebellious Xiao Bi. I’m making her some homemade treats these few days, and I hope that will assist me in my journey to ‘conquer’ her! >.<

I brought Xiao Bi out for her evening walk alone today. Certainly she had to pay her friend the routine visit before she started her walk. When we arrived at the gate, her friend just finished his bath and he was practically running towards the gate to welcome Xiao Bi. Cute fella.

Xiao Bi and I continued walking and to my surprise, the owner brought her friend out too! He said that the fella was following Xiao Bi’s trail to track her. Haha.

This time around, I was with my mobile phone. So obviously the photos are not going to be clear or nice but that’s the best that I can have now.

The two dogs played (wrestled, to be exact) with each other on the road while me and the owner exchanged some ideas about the dogs. Diet, health, supplements, a lot. It was really nice talking to another GR owner. I’ve got so many new tips to improve Xiao Bi’s diet!

And then before we realised, her friend was ‘oosshhh-oosshhh-ing’ again. Boys, boys. lol.

Xiao Bi was so tired when we greeted her friend goodbye and was lying in the middle of the road for a while before she could move herself back home. lol.

For the record, I’ve been bringing Xiao Bi out for evening walk for, erm, I think 4 continuos days now. Instead of having my ideal morning walk, which I always failed to wake up on time, I guess it’s better than nothing if I could bring her out to know her environment in the evening.

There were of course, countless times of dragging, dragging, and dragging during the first day. Darl was with me and he was handling her so I was OK. The second day, as darl was working, I thought, well perhaps I should bring her out and see what happened, together with my mum and my little niece. It turned out pretty well. She wasn’t dragging me much and was quite under control. We all enjoyed the session.

On the third day, we passed by her new friend’s place and saw him bathing! Xiao Bi was so excited and ran to the gate. They both communicated with each other with the gate in between them. That was a nice session too. Not too much of dragging, pretty much under control.

Today is the fourth day and I thought, ahhh everything will turn out OK, since she has been picking up her walking-manners. It turned out I was wrong. I was being dragged, and knocked into bruises on my leg, before, during, and after the session!

Arrrggghhhh!!!!!
