`My New Best Friend - Kumi~!
Last week I was soo busy that I couldn't write any entry about my new puppy. I went all the way to a yorkie breeder in Etobicoke, Ontario which is 2 hours away from where I live by bus but it was well worth it. I have never been puppy shopping so this was my first time buying a puppy. I have wanted a pet yorkie for quite some time and I told myself that with the money I earn from Anime North, I would buy myself a new pup. I was very lucky to have found the perfect little girl on my first try and let me be honest with you, it was soo hard to pick just ONE puppy from the litter. >__<; I had a choice between 2 girls and 1 boy; the boy was the smallest and oldest of the litter and weighed about 1 pound [if grown up, he will weigh no more than 2-3 lbs], Kumi/the second youngest pup [if grown up, she will be a maximum of 3-4 lbs], and the second girl [if grown up, she will be atleast 5 lbs or more].
I didn't pick the boy even though I really like small dogs because I knew it would be really difficult to take care of him and since he wouldn't grow anymore, it wouldn't be fun to just walk around showing him off like a novelty when I really wanted a puppy I can play and bond with. Treating any dog as a novelty wouldn't be fair to him/her but be treated like your family and special. Why? Because they are going to spend the rest of their lives with you, be there when you're down and love you no matter what. Any pet in general not just dogs, should be treated with respect and love. I recently read a really sad article about the puppy boom in Japan and it's unfortunate that most of the people that buy dogs over there, only buy them for novelty purposes and as a result abandon or worse, execute them. (Please read/refer to this article: Dark Side of Japan's Pet Boom)
After playing with the new puppy I got, I decided to think of names for her which was hard. My mom suggested all these typical small dog names like: Lucy, Angel, and Mimi and my sister suggested: Bella. I knew that this puppy was going to be very special to me and my life so I wanted to give her a unique name that I felt matches her. On the 1st night I couldn't think of anything but on the next day, I came up with Kumi, Yumi, Hikki and Kyuki [a play-on name with my boyfriend's name Kyu]. Even with all these choices, I still went on Facebook to ask my online friends for suggestions which ended with total fail/no help... However, by the morning of the 3rd day and playing with her for a bit, I picked her up and looked into her eyes --- and in that moment I knew that she was a Kumi.
Kumi was borned on April 25, 2011 [during the week of the Royal Wedding! Woot~!] and weighs approximately 1.5 lbs. She is a Yorkshire Terrier and her current fur color is dark brown and tan. As of 6 weeks old, she still doesn't have any teeth and can't bark. When Kumi runs, she trips and falls everywhere because her sense of balance is still a bit off. Her favorite toy is a "Puppy Toy Turtle Plushie" I bought from a pet store. She loves the squeeking sound the turtle makes and carries it everywhere around the house. With this week coming by fast, I know that I will always love Kumi like a daughter and never part with her.
