First Butt Smelling

Took Amber for a walk yesterday's evening and saw an old couple walking with a Schnauzer. The couple seemed to like Amber a lot but their dog barked at us when we walked past them. Amber was afraid, she backed a few steps but did not bark back. I stood still while she tried to back away, I did not want her to be scared of barking so I told her to sit while the Schnauzer still barked at us. Then the old couple's wife spoke.

"My boy is trying to make friend with your toy poodle"

I said: "but he's barking loudly at us, kinda too excited to make friends huh?"

Then the wife replied: "Look at its tail, it's waggling harshly, they are friends now."

"But Barking is not a way to make friend with each other, let's wait for your boy to chill off a little first?" I replied.

Then I told the old couple to walk a few distance with their Schnauzer to calm him down first, I caught up with them after. The boy seemed to be not as excited as the first time but still barked when he saw Amber. I hold Amber up and SLOWLY went as close to the Schnauzer as possible then let him smell her butt (I want to let Amber be submissive). I wanted to let Amber smell his butt too but the old couple have no idea what to do, they thought our 2 doggies were already friends so they continued walking back to their house. Well, I am sure there will be a next time...LOL!

First time to Pasir Ris Farmway (Pet Farm)

04 Feb, my husband's colleague decided to get another puppy so he drove us to Pasir Ris Farmway to look for puppy since we wanted one as well. He already has a 1 year Male Yorkshire Terrier so he was looking for another breed to accompany his Yorkshire. The farm was really hard to get to if you do not drive a car, unless you don't mind calling a cab. It's in the deepest part of the road and there ain't any buses around. When we first went to the first shop at farmway 02, we met a very stuck-up pet owner. Very "hao lian(proud)" with his puppies and even said all his prices are very CNY, all ended with $xx88 which means good luck for the Chinese people. We saw a pretty red toy poodle but it was sold, so the shop owner told us to buy his other puppies instead since all his puppies are so-called "high quality". I think that shop was kinda overpriced for every puppy that he quoted. One of the pups that he was selling, poodle was just besides it, seek...
