While I was traveling in India, my dad brought home a puppy. The puppy was stranded in the middle of traffic and he saved her I guess.
The vet suggested that we named her "Lucky Girl" as she was lucky to have been adopted. So for the first few weeks my family has been calling her LG (also intended to be similar to that electronic company that makes good monitors!).
All this while I was traveling in Tamil Nadu. My mom told me over the phone that
"There's a new bug in our house"
"Really? How is it?"
"I will send you a picture"
"Okay"
Imagine my surprise when the picture loaded and it was a dog, not a bug. Hahaha. Miscommunication leh.
LG was cute, apparently cuter when she was younger. When I returned home a few weeks after we adopted her, she has already grown up a bit. You know, young animals grow geometrically! She's awfully playful, and likes to bite our shoes.
From the moment she joined us, she's found a friend. A friend who's also a bully and a jealous mentor I guess--old resident dog, Bowie (nothing to do with David Bowie). Whenever we play with Timak, Bowie would growl and clamp Timak down with his jaw. Timak would either roll over or play along with Bowie and bite back, push back. Soon Timak learned to crawl under the car, where she has more space to maneuver than Bowie has.
Timak also learned quickly to jump onto our swing, an act which Bowie can't do now. Bowie has always been really superb with his jumps--a very agile fellow--but now old age has caught up with him. He's like 11 years old at least, and definitely not so active as he was just last year. So when Timak gets onto the swing, Bowie becomes less commanding, but doesn't stop trying to exert his authority.
I think Timak will learn quite some stuff from Bowie over the next few months or years. I am not sure however that Bowie makes the best role model....haha....Bowie's afraid of thunder and firecrackers! And worse, he runs away when we call him on the street haha...always an embarrassing situation.
I also wonder how long Timak will survive alongside the vicious Bowie who doesn't shy away from cannibalism.
J/k.
By the way, know the meaning for Timak?

| Actually Timak's teeth are sharper than Bowie's and her bite hurts much more than his. |

Make sure you spay Timak! How old is Timak btw, did the vet check? And she certainly looks like a pirate to me, the black patch marking on her eyes ;)
ReplyDeleteyeah we will spay her soon. but first we need to ID her..you know now in Malaysia we will have to ID each dog so that no illegal breeds are present...more work.
ReplyDelete~2 months ago, the vet said she was at most 2-3 months old wo...if I remember correctly. She's definitely less than 6 months old now (i think haha).
a woman pirate? hangat betul!
what does Timak mean?
ReplyDeletebtw, cute doggies :D
What do you mean by ID? microchip or license? What are the illegal breeds in Malaysia, I don't know Malaysia has imposed something like that. Pit Bull maybe?
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Beware, Timak is the hottest chick in town. Don't let her loose or else...........
