I have a Shih Tzu. Her name is Mei Mei. I adopted her when she was 1 year old. She was very skinny when I first saw her. She was wary of strangers. She barked at strangers. Despite all these strange traits, I like her. She is just adorable.
She has been locked up in a cage from the previous owner for a long time. They had no choice. They had to go to work and no one was around at home. They did not allow Mei Mei to roam around the house and made a mess of it.
The night I brought Mei Mei home to Henderson Crescent, she was sad. She growled at me in the Taxi as she had no idea where she was heading to. She was lost. She lost her owner whom she spent her childhood with. If I were her, I will react the same too!
That night, I fell in love with this furry creature. As I went to bed, she tagged along and slept beside me on my mattress. From that day onwards, she and me became "Father & Daughter".
I am indebted to her. When my Career went downhill and I needed money. She sacrificed her life to help me. She gave birth to 5 cute puppies. She had to undergo cescarian to have the babies delivered as she had difficulty carrying and pushing the 5 pups in her tiny body. She almost died on the operation theatre table. She lost too much blood and Vet had to perform blood transfusion for her. James Tan saved the 5 pups and her life. I am grateful to him.
When the 1st pup was carried away by the new found owner, Mei Mei was very sad. I know. She followed them to the door and she sat there for almost 4 hours after they had left. She was waiting for her puppy to come home but he never did. I was sad too but I know I have no other choice. I needed the money.
Last night, a lady came to view the room for rental. The first sentence she spoke when she saw Mei Mei was, "I dun like dogs. Dun let her comes near me!" I was totally not interested to talk or rent her the room after that.
I love Mei Mei and if someone dun like her, I will dislike that person too!
To me, Mei Mei is my life.
