Almost six years ago when he came into my life.
He was introduced to me by the Attendant of my Orthodontic at the Dental Clinic where I had several session months for fixing my teeth. She apparently acquired a new pet and told me that there are several puppies for sale at Stapes Animal Shop. I am really afraid of dogs but somehow she seemed to enchant me with her stories of how lovable her puppy was. She was able to convince me to go with her to the shop one afternoon.
There were four puppies in the kennel. All of them were Japanese Spitzes. Among them was this cute little puppy who looks so innocent and defenseless. He has a long, thick, white coat with pointed muzzle and ears. He was one month old weighing 1.5 kilograms. He captivated my heart. Instantly I felt the need to cuddle him in my arms and to fill him with so much love. I named him Bruiser - after Elle Woods’ dog in Legally Blonde of which I’m a fan.
When I brought him home, my brother adored him. We took turns on feeding him with evaporated milk. He seemed so hungry that he drank almost a can. His belly bloated and threw up. I cleaned up the mess. Huh!
My father protested and told me that he doesn’t want any pet in the house and ordered me to return Bruiser immediately the following day. How can I return him? I already paid the shop and it was a closed and completed transaction. I promised to take care of him and to be responsible for all his clutter. In some way, I was able to persuade Papa to give in to my pleadings.
Days passed and Bruiser became the apple of everybody’s eyes. Why not? He is high-spirited, intelligent , very playful, cheerful, proud and super affectionate. He can actually dance. He knows how to knock the door. He can twinkle his eyes. He will sit and behave if you tell him so. He will kiss and embrace you with all his heart. He is such a darling!
We celebrate his birthday every 4th of April. Next year he will turn 9. Just recently he had his Annual Anti-Rabies and DHLP Shot complete with Grooming and Nail Clip.
He brings so much joy to the family and we look forward to many happy years with him.
Thank you for coming into our lives Bruise. We love you so much!
