| Snowy aka Snowball or Snow/Dog/Kiew Chai |
A dog is a man's best friend .... how true! Snowy aka Snowball (christened by my Bear friend) is not your average everyday pet dog. She is a furry child to this family which makes her our furry daughter. She responds to every name under the sun we can think of to call her depending on our mood swings and some other "pet" names are pretty basic ... "dog" or "kiew chai" in the Hakka dialect ... "snow" for short, but never you mind, Snowy always knows we are calling her!!! She is a cross between a Maltese/Foxy breed and was gifted by Ray to Becky on her 21st birthday as a pup. Moving on 7yrs in human life, Snowy is still sooooooo hyper and even more loving and caring as she matures with age ... you know, I could safely say Snowy loves us more than she loves herself!!!
She checks up on everyone in the middle of the night just to make sure everyone is alright ... she is by my bedside when I am crook, she is there waiting for you patiently to come home, and when she sees you ... she is soooooo excited, she is jumping all over with joy and I wish I could say the same for hubby!
Snowy is also a bed dog ... yesssss she sleeps around, so I guess you could call her a "slut" as well. She knows who her masters are and where her loyalty lies, and when its proper bed time, you will find her in the most comfy bed in the house!
What else can I brag about Snowy. She does an excellent job as a dog .. she barks at everyone and everything that moves .. what we don't see or hear, Snowy senses and is super attentive and nothing goes past her roving puppy eyes!!! Since we are able to differenciate her barking and mannerisms, we can tell what is happening around us, so Snowy is great value for money and beats the top shelf security systems!
I could go on and on , but I just wanted to say that for a person that does not like animals - I must admit Snowy has grown on me and now that I am bedridden, she is an excellent companion. What more could you want, cause on a cold winter's nite, Snowy also doubles up as a hot water bottle that never turns cold!!! Her furry warmth is so comforting and as you wiggle & dig your cold feet underneath her and as they warm up, you both know ... yessssss Snowy has got me and I have got her ... now we can close our eyes and get a good nite's sleep together!
You could open the doors wide, and Snowy will not run away ... accidently shut the door on her, and she waits quietly outside to be let in again. She must be so contented with her life and happy to be part of our family. Snowy must know she is spoilt rotten too. She knows this is her home, and she is here to stay!
Snowy has not hit the big screens, but in her own rights, she is our very own "Hachiko".
