Dogs I Would Love To Own One Day

I love dogs. Dogs are the perfect pet a man could have, that is probably why it is referred to as man's best friend. One of these days I wish to be a dog breeder and I would love to own one of these..

Siberian Husky

A gentle and sweet natured dog, the Siberian Husky is a breed that makes for a great family dog. He has a dependable nature, and is loving and affectionate, enjoying attention and interaction from his family. This breed will definitely be the first one I'll breed!

Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retrievers are good natured, loving, and loyal dog that makes a wonderful family pet. These dogs are intelligent, responsive, and obedient, which makes them one of the easiest breeds to obedience train. The Labrador Retriever is well suited to both inexperienced and experienced dog owners. He is very quick to learn, and is friendly and sociable, with a mild manner and a very amiable attitude.

Golden Retriever

One of my all-time-favourite breed of dogs. The Golden Retriever is a dog that is stable, loving, eager to please, and gentle. These dogs make wonderful companions and family pets, and they love to give and receive attention. The Golden Retriever is a loyal and devoted dog, with mild manners, a responsive nature, and a playful streak. These dogs love the company of humans, and are not suited to those that cannot commit much time to their pet. They are quite energetic, and in particular they love to swim. These dogs have a real passion for life and for everything they do, and are extremely sociable dogs that will get along with almost everyone.

German Shepherd

This is an alert, lively, loyal, and very intelligent breed. He is often used as a military, police or search and rescue dog. These dogs are obedient and very quick to learn. He is one of the easiest of all breeds to train due to his high intelligence. The German Shepherd is active, full of energy, courageous, confident, and independent. In fact, The high intelligence and responsive nature of the breed makes this one of the easiest dogs to train. Some German Shepherd Dogs can be quite aloof and serious, and some can be dominant and sharp. However, these are very capable dogs, and are eager to please their owners, although their personality makes them best suited to those with some experience of dog ownership.

This is my favourite of favourites breed. Although I have this breed at home, I still want to own one myself one day. Ah~ I miss my Sydney....

Aren't they just adorable?? Gosh~

A Dedication to Sydney

I've always loved dogs ever since I could remember. I would spend most of my time playing with them and just be around them. I remembered each of us in the family would have his/her own puppy, but still, I love them all regardless who it belonged to.

In October 2007, my brother brought me to a dog kennel somewhere in Penampang (I forgot what kampung it was) to help him choose which one of the two puppies should we adopt. It was actually a hard call since both puppies were extremely cute and adorable! They were both German Shepherd puppies, one with light brown colour and the other had dark brown colour. We were there for about two hours I believe, just to choose which puppy to take. At last, we took the one with the darker brown coloured puppy.

Which one to choose?? >.<

Look how scared it is, first time in our car, on the way back to its new home..

On the way back we thought of names we want to name it, and we came up with Rain, Drizzle, Rainbow (since it was raining the time we took it), Lola, and some other name I've forgotten what we suggested. Lastly, after many disagreements, my brother said "Since the mother came from Sydney, Australia, why not we name it Sydney?". So, that is how the name Sydney came to be.

Since it was my semester break that time, I spent the whole semester playing with it. I could never get bored of playing with it and I would make sure that the feeding time was on time. But from the beginning, Sydney had a problem with eating, where it will vomit back all the food and sometimes diarrhea. We took it to the vet for several times because of the vomiting and diarrhea and also there were cough-like sound everytime it run. Although with all the medications, Sydney was still having those symptoms. But we continued giving it the medications given.

Sydney, before I went back to college

After my semester break was over, I went back to college, and I was missing Sydney all the while. I keep updates on how Sydney was with my brother and he sent pictures to me and I was surprised how fast it grew! After 5 months away, I finally came back home and I was surprised to see how big it became, but my Sydney still remembers me! Then my routine of playing with it 24-7 resumed.

Sydney, while I was away in college

Sydney with Kenya

After a month at home, I went back to college and again, leaving my Sydney behind. Still keeping updates with my brother, one day he called saying Sydney had given birth! I was so excited that I wanted to go back home, but alas, I can't..

I kept asking how are the puppies and he informed that Sydney gave birth to 7 puppies but 3 of it didn't make it. I was excited to wait for my next semester break to go back home and meet the extended family.

Sydney and her adorable puppies

Then one day, my mother called and told me that Sydney was dead. I was in shocked and I called my brother to ask why. After the phone call I could not stop myself from crying and feeling so down for few days. On my semester break, I went back home and I was so happy to see all four of Sydney's children. they all looked exactly the same as the mother. Although I was really sad not to get to see Sydney there, but I still feel as if it was Sydney I was playing with, cos her children are just like her when she was just a puppy.

And now, I can't wait for my semester break to yet again, be with her children.
