Furball's 'anniversary'.

Monday, December 5, 2011,4:41 PM

Long post ahead, picture and word heavy. But this is the story of Fluffy, of course it should be specific and grand! When it comes to her, even thousands of words are not enough (:

On the 5th of December 2010 which was exactly a year ago, my dream came true. That few months i wanted a pet dog so badly, i wanted a Maltese, an adorable house breed. I went to various pet shops and checked dozens of websites, it was kinda a failure because there were not many Maltese on sale as the breed is hard to take care of, and i wanted a female 2-3months puppy so it narrowed down my search further. I was standing at the edge of despair ):

Finally, at mudah.com (wtf yes mudah.com) i found an eligible candidate, and the family was selling it at Petaling Jaya. Obviously the puppy in the pic is not 2months old, but when i found her on the site the owner confirmed that at that time she was. (I'm gona spoil you, yes that's Fluffy's baby picture!)

After multiple persuasions of mine, mum and dad brought me to PJ and we searched high and low for the seller's house. It was kinda tough because the seller was being secretive about her exact address, maybe she's scared that we're gona murder her -_- At that point i wasn't sure that i'm gona buy the puppy, i just wanted to check her out and see whether i'll fall in love at the first sight. (It was my imaginary scene of meeting my dream pet. We would lock eyes and my heart will instinctively tell me 'it's her it's her!')

And then i went inside the house and saw her. To be honest, i did not fall in love with her at the first sight. She was furry and cute for sure, but the 'electrical/impulsive connection' did not occur. She was really cute (like all puppies are) but i just wasn't sure. I hesitated for quite some time. A part of me thought that, well maybe i can go check out other places first? Another said, what if i don't find another Maltese? My parents would never drive here for the second time anymore even if i happen to change my mind. So..after debating in my head i've got the verdict.

Of course i bought her. Or else how can this story be continued? Yep mum and dad paid RM1800 cash right on the spot (they were probably mentally prepared to buy a dog since they brought along the cash) and i've got her! I insisted putting her on my lap to begin our first mother-daughter bonding session lol. Slowly i begun to like her more, yes in the car. It was really exciting getting my first official pet dog. I named her Fluffy on the spot, it was my dream Maltese's name (:

The first say she came to our house she was terrified. She scurried to corners and curled up her body and refused to come out. She even refused to eat anything for a week and that got me so worried. (Thank God she finally got used to our house and started eating normally, which later developed into eating randomly and hungry-all-the-time and everything-is-food syndrome.)

I remembered at that time she was so amazingly tiny that you can hold her with just one hand. Fun sized! Now i need both hands and it's still not enough wtf.

After about 2 months we bought her, she entered the ugliest phase of her life. Like seriously look at the picture. I cannot recognize her, she looked so different from the day we bought her. Okay i admit it was partly our fault i guess. To be frank she looked like a mongrel that we picked up from the road side.

Another ugly picture of Fluffy, looking at it makes me laugh! She looked like a super tomboy. But she's still so goddamn cute with all her actions. The excitement from having a pet dog didn't wear off, and up till now it never does actually.

After a few months i think, when we started her on her Health&Shine supplement, her fur became nicer and whiter and cleaner. We helped her trimmed her dirty hair and cleaned her thoroughly too. Thankfully she began to shift to the feminine side (only her looks of course).

Rofl i found this random picture and it made me laughed so hard. We messed her fur up on purpose :D

And then, she started developing a permanent passion for food. To her, nearly everything is edible. Tissue papers (her favourite), cotton, plastics, leaves, rubber, leather, newspaper, cardboard, insects (another fav) etc.. She eats all of them i'm serious. She once ate some silica gel too. The only things she she walk away from are superglue and cigarette smoke. (Only the smoke, she eats the cigarette butt)

When she started learning how to climb the stairs, i was a proud mum. *boasting with pride* (:

Then we bought her her first shirt with the word 'Queen' on it. She could no longer fit into this tiny shirt now anymore. Why did she become so big and fat T_T

It was on the 20th of March 2011 that Fluffy faced the horrible and terrifying period of her life...

We decided to shave her! It was heartbreaking seeing her after she was shaved naked, because she was really cold, there were cuts on her body and she scratched her body all the time resulting in more cuts. My family unconsciously started to love her less, probably because she look so different and ugly, yes ugly. But i did my best to accompany her and give her all the love as before so that she wouldn't feel abandoned. I would never shave her, ever, again. )':

On September 2011 she went for the best trip ever, Port Dickson with the whole family. She was so happy and bubbly chasing the pigeons, freaking adorable!

Isn't she just so cute?

Everything compliments her (:

Mum, who used to hate animals and furs a lot, love her now more than ever. She treats Fluffy like her granddaughter hah (:

Everyone adores her. My father brings her out all the time, my mum bathe and brush her and baby-talk to her and hug her, something i never thought would have happened. I'm thankful that we bought her, she somehow brings my family closer to each other. If i were to describe her i would say she's a cheeky bitch. She don't know much tricks (i'm lazy to teach her more plus she's getting old to learn), but she knows a lot of things and she understands. I'm not going to write it all here, if not i would never finish this post.

Side note: When we bought her, the seller said that the puppy was a Taiwan champion-line pure breed Maltese, born on 101010, and that the puppy was very obedient and quiet, pee and poo on time...blablabla. She bragged about everything she can think of. Of course we believed her at the time, we were very dumb. She's a big fat liar. Fluffy is beyond naughty, hyperactive, not potty trained, doubtfully born on the exact 101010, and she's definitely not a pure breed. What did we expect? We bought her at a low price (pure breed Maltese cost 3K) and she's from a home without a birth certificate, not a pet shop. Of course it was a scam. But i thank fate, because we love Fluffy despite all her adorable 'flaws'. ((:

When we first bought Fluffy, she was a pet. Now she has became a family ♥
