Pets World 2010

Mr. Moon and I attended Pets World 2010 which is a yearly event held at Mid Valley. The crowd was enormous and some dog-lovers even brought their furkids along to have fun!. I did not bring Lil' Pepper because we went to catch Toy Story 3 before the event and of course dogs are always not allowed in a cinema. I wish one day we can have more pet friendly places in KL, maybe a pet-friendly cinema too.

I love taking pictures with mascots. This has been a childhood thing that still lives in me until today. Mr. Moon knows this so well that he quickly asked me to stand beside this mascot from WISH BONE and snap a picture of us at the entrance.

 

Look at this cute little creature! It 's a ferret! The owner even sprayed our palms with some antiseptic spray before we were allowed to touch it as to avoid bringing harmful germs back to their home.

This Little Sweet Missy just woke up from her beauty sleep. Hence, the mata sepet look. She's so tiny and mind you, she's already 2 years old!

Dogs in strollers!Furkids nowadays are so pampered  that they are given the best of everything, from nutritional premium kibbles, treats, snacks, fashionable clothings worn on their backs to being chauffered around in stylish strollers or prams!

Sometimes when I look at Lil' Pepper, I quietly wish that I could switch my identity with her for one day! Imagine having long naps throughout the day, eating great food, having fun play times and snuggling  in between Mr. Moon and I every night! Bliss!!

 

Okay, back to reality,and yes, this is a real lizard-like creature called Gecko!

More Wacko Geckos on display.

Amber Chia was there to host a short pet food talk, I guess she's their spokesperson.Think she's at least 4- 5 months pregnant now. She looks good in -person too.

This is Amber's Poodle. I was trying hard to get him to look at the camera but he was too busy looking at some female dogs.

A few animal shelters, namely SPCA, PAWS, MalaysianDogsDeserve Better were there to educate the public on the importance of spaying in reducing strays. Adoption drives like this are very common all year round to entice more people to adopt rather than buy pets.

Look at these cute puppies put on adoption. I hope they have all found good homes.

Sad little puppy waiting to be adopted. Hope you have found a good home too.

If you are reading this and you want to adopt a pet  please go to Petfinder and the above mentioned animal shelters. I am sure it will be a very rewarding experience.

Lastly, I just want to scream out loud :

My Sweet Pepper Love...do you still remember yours?

I've never really followed blogs, what more write my own blog, until recently, when rojakgal started her own blog to share her rojaks ( a mix of her daily endeavours). http://rojakgal.blogspot.com . I thought to myself..yeah I can try setting up my own blog too.. so here it is!

Here I am staring at the computer screen trying to figure out what to write in my first ever blog post.

Okay...Perhaps I should introduce the two Loves of my life , Lil' Pepper and Mr. Moon.

Lil' Pepper as the name suggests, is a smaller than usual Miniature Schnauzer. She is 2 years and 6 months old now. More than 2 years ago, Mr.Moon and I, like some young married couples out there decided to get a pet dog as we are both dog lovers. It sure feels good to come home to a warm welcome, a wagging tail , wet nose and thick saliva licks! Don't you think so?:)

After much thought about getting a pet, taking into consideration the limited space we had at our place a.k.a Our Loft, we decided to 'hunt' for a female, miniature schnauzer puppy with 'salt and pepper' coat, simply a grey coat.

First stop: A pet shop opposite The Store in Seri Petaling. There, jumping frantically in the crate, was a female MS puppy of 3 months old..How could this be so coincidental?Anyway, she looked scrawny with her untrimmed look and a little cut on her forehead. She looked way too hyper to Mr. Moon's dismay, who then decided to leave to view a home breeder's puppies in Taman Megah.

Second stop: Taman Megah. This time, Mr. Moon was not convinced with the puppy's coat,which appeared brownish even with the breeder's assurance that the puppy was 'salt and pepper' after clipping. Feeling ever disappointed, we went home. Deep in my mind, I was still thinking about the puppy we saw at the pet shop, but too bad, she was just too hyperactive.

On the very next day, Mr. Moon and I went to the night market near the pet shop. We decided to walk into the pet shop just to check out the puppy again. This time, the puppy seemed obedient and well-behaved. The little tail of hers wagged and wagged but she remained very composed, unlike yesterday. Maybe she just woke up from a deep sleep? My heart melted right away ..AGAIN!!

This time. Mr.Moon was doubtful no more! He made up his mind right away and even named her 'Pepper' on the spot. I was ecstatic and happily cuddled Pepper. "Bye Bye Pet Shop. Hello to your new home, Pepper!"I softly whispered to her , as we were leaving the pet shop.

Fast forward to present...

2 years and 3 months after that fateful day, I am still very much 'in love' with my Lil' Pepper who loves to take naps, snores, sleeps on my bed, nibbles my used cottons /tissue, checks out every dustbin in the house, destroys Mr. Moon's undies....ooooppsss!

There is a quote which I love,

"Whoever else thinks you are of little worth,
to your dog you are the centre of the universe"
