Jasmine is a stubborn, housebreaker, and sometimes a pain in the ass puppy. But she is sweet, likes to be cuddled, and can be on anybody's lap for hours. If you find her interesting, then join me in discovering more this loveable creature that is shi-tzu, a breed that we came to adore and love.
I left Jasmine for a month and a week or so to my friend so i could prepare everything for the wedding without any hassles. And of course, i don't fancy going through all the paperworks and sure, lots of phone calls to airline agents if my dog can go with me. Time is of the esscence! After all, a month or so is not forever. I was not sure though if it was for her.
I called my friend if she can pick up Jasmine at exactly 2pm as i need to go to the immigration to get a re-entry permit. It was such a pain seeing her go whilst staring at me. Her eyes were like watery, or so i thought. She might be happy too, who knows!
When i came back i immediately called Ms. Buay, my friend, if i can get Jasmine back. She said to wait for not more than an hour and she will ask someone to drive Jasmine back to me. It was one of the happiest moments in my life as i terribly missed her. Look at her - a full grown lady she is now!
Whiskers are important to animals just as skin to humans. Well, not necessarily the same purpose but dogs specifically use their whiskers for sensory reasons. At least humans have high intelligence and can make use of other senses not just skin alone to feel something.
Shi-tzu is one of the breeds which has long whiskers. Perhaps they feel fortunate because they have it long but not for owners especially for grooming purposes (lol). After eating, their whiskers matt so it is imperative to brush them. They also have a rather weird smell once food smudges dried up.
So here is Jasmine, kinda scared with unusual movements every time her whiskers are touched. But i have to brush them. Otherwise, she looks "um, whatever". So there you go. Brush their whiskers every time especially after their meal.
Apart from her pink ball, the bear you see on these photos and also on the video below is a bear that Jasmine cannot play without especially before bedtime. It's her first toy and her attachment to it is so strong that even while sleeping it lies next to her.
It is so much fun watching her and her bear wrestle anywhere at home. Her bear already received a lot of bite marks and still receives more everyday. Sometimes i wonder, what if the bear is real? Of course she has no match for it, size wise. Bears are bigger and stronger, anyway. But what if it happens?
Haha! I may get hate comments from animal rights activists or other related groups with that thinking lol. But hey, it was just a thought, okay?
