Happy Birthday to... Pakki!

Pakki is now 1 years old le ^^

Been with us for 8 months le (around 240 days). Now at around 7 kgs, it can hurt much when he stepped over us. (ya.. he now climbs on the sofa and jumps over us, sometimes missing his aim and landed on us) Poor mum carries this 7 kg pakki down for peeing every morning and evening.. lol.. some people don't like dogs, or are scared of them.. so cannot let him climb the stairs on his own.

He came to us as a surprise.. sis just gave us a hint of warning.. then the next thing i knew was to go downstairs to carry his "house" up. He was quite "shy" lor.. haha.. coz maybe he didn't know us that time. Then also looked quite sad, coz had to stay in cage whole day. The only thing he did other than eating and sleeping was 趴来趴去.. he lay down on one corner of the cage, and then changed to the other end.. lol.. maybe he was bored ba. In the end we named him "pakki" (short of pa lai pa ki..wahhaha..)

1 month in cage or so, he was let to roam in the kitchen.. and then another 2 months later, he was allowed to sleep outside at night. The cage was then kept, and the housebreaking streak broke. In the end he only will pee outside our house.. and that includes at the pet store.. haha..

I liked the way pakki wag its tail everytime i return home, even when he's sleeping.. (but he ignores me when he is eating.. = =) He and his seh face.. sometimes more seh than me lor. But still, very nice to see someone welcome you home.. even at 4am.

Somehow, i think he knows the time.. lol.. he knows when to wake my mum up, usually at 6am.. and he knows when it was time for him to go "gai gai" (walk walk) and dinner/breakfast.

And he is the only one in the house that we (all the villagers) must greet when we return home or say goodbye when we are going out.. hahaha.. even the village chief doesn't enjoy such privilege.

I think he won over all of us.. and already integrated into our family.. lol.. ya.. his surname is Tan, Pakki Tan. (or "Parky".. as my sis like to spell his name as, or "paggi" which my dad likes to call him.. whatever.. it all mean the same to us)
