I dunno how I should start this whole blog thing for Elmo.
But first, please let me intro Elmo to all those people who doesn't know him yet.
He is MY dog. Yes,mine, after 20 years of waiting! There is a long story attached to this,all the way from last year, but I shan't talk here,it's a really long story. All I have to say is that, "Thank you, Xiao Bai!!"
Xiao Bai, my cousin's dog, is now at a faraway place...No, he hasn't die...Just cant get to see him anymore~~~

He came to me on the 13th of Feb,so I shall start from the 13th.Be prepared for a freaking long entry...
Evvon went with me to see him at his previous owner's house...Fell in love with him at the first sight..He was such an active boy as compared to his sister...
I was still wondering how to carry him home when he's so active, but the moment I carry him, he tamed down and did not move much. He turned guai the moment he leaves the house...
We walked to Chong Pang to get his playpen, it was a short walk, but the rain posed a little problem, luckily Evvon has The New Paper to cover Elmo with. Otherwise, he will be a luo tang gou~~

I forgot to inform my dad before bringing him home, luckily Evvon reminded me...Anyway, he was home before me, and he did not pick up my call nor reply my sms, so i reckon i would xian zhan hou zou...To my surprise, he did not throw me out of the house, instead, he flashed a bright smile(I could tell,maybe not Evvon). He also helped me to set up the playpen and played with Elmo. Heng~He likes the dog.

Elmo seemed to have seperation anxiety on the first few days, maybe he feels insecure. It must be a tramatic experience for him to leave his mother at such a young age. He kept barking when there was no one in sight, and he would sit at one corner of his playpen and keep looking at you in a way that it makes your heart melt. He is so handsome!!!

So I shifted my computer to the kitchen to complete my HS102 journal whilst accompanying him so that he wouldn't bark. Pig couldnt wait to see him and she came at about 7plus,near 8. His first toy is a soft ball given by Pig, but he didn't seem to like it as much as his handkerchief.

At this point in time, he was still nameless, as we couldnt think of a nice name for him. My mum wanted Princess actually, that was when she tot I was going to get a girl(that was the initial decision), but who knows,it was the boy whom I fell in love with..haha, Amanda suggested Prince, but it didnt seem nice to me...so I passed it off...

My ma was totally freaked out when he peed on the floor,instead of the newspaper. Now then I realized when a dog pees at the wrong place,there's so many things to do. First, you have to scold the dog for doing it, then you have to calm your freaked out mother down, then you have to clear up the mess and you have to clean the dog's paws and his pe*is.

The first night was a total headache. He couldnt stop barking in the middle of the night, when he couldnt see me or anyone. It was really heartaching to hear him bark his lungs out to get our attention, but my ma was more worried that he would 'offend' the neighbours, so she brought him out to the living room to play. Then came his second toy. A plastic figure, which was a new year goodie.
Seeing him so obssessed with his new toy,I went into my room to finish my journal and updated the JC gang on Elmo. Then the most heartwarming moment came. He ran into my room to look for me,I had no idea how he knew I was there and all I could say is that, that moment felt so good. I know he loves me too...hehe. He came and snuggled beside me while I was busy with the comp.It felt so good!!

Well, this boy got what he wanted from all those barkings. He slept in my room with me.
