A new addition to our family - Shayna

Heh Heh! What are you guys up to ? Shayna seems to be saying to us!

We have always wanted a doggy of our own and finally decided that we were ready to take good care of a doggy. We managed to source for a pure bred female shih tzu puppy from a couple. There were two female shih tzu when we first arrived to view. We were deciding which one to choose when somehow, one of them came over and started licking our fingers and well, the decision was made. We also noted that she had a distinctive coat of colours. She was really tiny and we were quite afraid that we would hold her too tightly. We were just hooked to her cutsey and adorable shy look. Two weeks passed and we were told by the couple that she was ready for us to bring home. We went to get a set of 3 partition gates and relevant puppy items like food, water bottle, toy etc. (below)

Just wake up in the morning!

So on Wednesday night, we went to collect her. She had grown much bigger but still as cute as ever. She was shivering but soon managed to calm down. Her mother gave her a farewell lick and we were off. Somehow, she just found the towel that we wrapped her in very comfortable and secure and she snuggled in. Over today and yesterday, she has taken the towel for her bed. Sleeping Beauty having a snooze on her bed

We did some research on the web and chose a name for her - Shayna ( Jewish for Beautiful ). We think it suits her to the T! It's really like having a baby! We just spent alot of time checking on her and communicating and touching her to reassure her. We also played with her as she warmed up to us and did some hopping and leaping and reaching out her paws to touch us. We brought her for a basic grooming and bath at the petshop downstairs - Alphapets, quite friendly people. They were fussing over her cos she was so cute! We are quite lucky to have 2 petshops and 1 pet clinic downstairs which is really very convenient for dog owners like us.

She's quite a joy to watch. She's resting on the floor looking at us as we are typing this blog entry. We'll be updating on her progress! Some pictures for those who are doggy lovers!

Shayna is officially 2 months old, born on 29 March.
