The new pups :D
Many weeks ago... a stray mummy doggy was pregnant and about to give birth. She searched around the housing estate but couldn't find a place to give birth to her puppies. In the end, the poor pregnant mummy finally found a spot near a house. She lay down on the sand and one-by-one, the puppies were born.
Unfortunately, there were complications during the birth and the poor mummy took her last breath after the 7th puppy was born into this world. *sobs*
With no mother to nurture the young borns, the poor little puppies started to die one by one. By the time the people from the house saw them, 3 have already died while still in their dead mother's embrace. The other four were barely alive. Quickly, the kind-hearted people took the four puppies and drove them to the shelter in Bukit Mertajam.
Loctor's parents are regular volunteers at this shelter and saw these poor four motherless puppies fighting for their lives. As there are hundreds of other dogs and cats at the shelter, the caretaker is unable to spend extra time to take care of them. Hence, Papamayat and Mamamayat carted the four puppies into a box and brought them home. At least, they will be well taken care of by Robert H. Johnson.
Alas.. as one of the four was already too weak, it died in Robert H. Johnson's care. *Sigh* Poor little pup was burried in the garden as its soul went up to heaven to meet up with Brownie the Idiot.
The remaining three pups strived on and finally grew stronger and fatter. When I was there yesterday, they seem to be in better health now. Ahh... good good.
So, enough talking... let me introduce the 3 'survivors':
... and the only female:
'Boss' - Because he always wants to be the first to eat, and is a busybody.
'Wanderer' - Once out from the enclosure and into the garden, he will venture out by himself and pang sai everywhere.
'Ah Girl' - The only sister
Here is Wanderer... sniffing here and there..
... and followed closely by Robert H. Johnson
Boss is not as adventurous but he is always within the watchful eyes of Robert H. Johnson:
Soon, it was feeding time. Mamamayat gathered them around for a group photo but these little puppies cannot sit still one..
With no momma to feed them, Loctor's parents went to buy a tin of Lactogen baby milk formula just for them. Wah.. damn lucky puppies.
And being babies... few minutes right after their meal..
