When we had our first puppy, it was a learning phase, from the food up to grooming. But in a year's time, I have learned the chore of taking care of our dog properly. Jedi grew up to be a healthy dog with a nice coat. Like a pride of the family, I would be telling stories about Jedi to my colleagues. In short, Jedi became famous in my office.
When Jedi was 4 years old, an office mate in another department offered me a dog. It was a 6-year old female, pure pekingese that is being culled from breeding. In other words, the dog had served its purpose so it is being given away for adoption. I would have taken it because it was cute. However, my husband disagreed for several reasons. First is the age - being 6 years old already means the dog will have a shorter time with us. Second is the culture of the dog. As they say, you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. And I agreed. So there's no dog adoption for us unless it is a puppy.
