The first addition to our family was actually not Ryan but Zoewe, our toy poodle a.k.a. our eldest daughter. Today, 6th July 2013, is her 6th birthday and her first in Beijing. We got her when in August, when she was barely two months and since that day, she has brought us nothing but pure joy, happiness and loyal companionship.
We were advised by many well meaning friends and relatives to give her up when we knew that Ryan was on his way but we simply could not because she is part of our family. She has proven all these years to be that perfect protective, well mannered eldest `sister' to both Ryan and Chenya, despite being bullied countless times by them.
Nothing makes her happier than these:-
a. Eat and eat
b. Going for walks
c. Being cuddled
d. Play 'fetch' with her favourite ball.
What frightens her the most:-
a. Thunderstorm
b. Firecrackers during Chinese New Year
She would literally trembles and would want us to cuddle and hold her and to comfort her.
We can not imagine our lives without her and whenever she goes for grooming, our lives are somewhat less exciting for that several hours. Somehow, there is this sense of something missing at home.
So, Zoewe, although I know that you would never be able to read this post but I know that deep in your heart, you can feel how much you are part of our lives and how much we love you and we are looking to share many many many birthdays with you in the years to come.
