peanut butter puppies

Last Saturday we went for a dog search. It was after Meow ran his Marathon at the Bedok Reservoir and we had bakuteh at Katong. Ha.. so impromptu, at 10am we just decided to go before he has to go for taekwando at 1:30.

We drove all the way to Pasir Ris and went to 3 pet shops and 5 breeders.

1. Petshop - We saw a Great Dane that is spotted like a Dalmation. It's huge! it's heavier than me and standing on 2, it would be 1/2 a metre taller than me. I couldn't believe it was a dog, thinking that it was some kind of pottery display at first.

2. Petshop - Furry white Japanese dog that looks like a fox.. Apparently a great guard dog, but small. Meow almost whipped out his credit card for the 1,438 SGD purchase until i reminded him that we have a whole Farmway 2 to check out.

3. Breeder - a casually friendly aunty with 2 cages of dogs showed us 1 grown hushpuppy (yuck with drippy green things on eyes), 2 very cute Jack Russel and 10 blackgold silky terriers. This time, I almost bought the pair of JR.

4,5,6 Breeders - All selling small toy dogs that would not help us with guarding the house.

7. Petshop - I must say they have the biggest range of dogs! Saw a weimaraner that was so cute. When he runs, all four big paws touch the ground at diff times, as opposed to normal 2 by 2, resulting in very cartoonish flip flopping. plus when he runs, he slants towards right, going off-course.

unfortunately, this dog costs 2,500, but Meow likes it so much he was prepared to pay for it! I quickly told the sales person we are looking for a German Shephard, hoping that a less rare breed would be cheaper. No! a beautiful GS puppy he showed us was $3,500.

I dragged Meow out of there bef he fell too much in love with the weimaraner.

8. Small unfurnished petshop further down the road - saw 1 knee high labrador puppy. Remembered last week a closing down petshop was trying to get people to "adopt" labrador mogrel puppies at $300 each and a nasty japanese lady took the one we wanted and Meow was so mad... haha..

Suggested to meow that we can still have a labrador puppy and he said ok. So we looked around and saw that there was a cage of 6 baby Labradors.

Me: how much do you sell this puppies?

Girl: they are not for sale (i got disappointed... ).. they are for adoption, i picked them off the street!

Whoppee! We took 2. heh heh. Free! no 300 SGD adoption cost! Mean Japanese lady got ripped off! :p

Totally black boy puppy we named Peanut and blackbrown girl puppy we named Butter... Peanut Butter puppies!
