I didn’t expect to have this new family member so soon.

But that day when we met her, we immediately fell in love with her.

She is irresistably cute.

And she is our 2 months 3 weeks old ”liver Shih Tzu” puppy. We named her YUKI (meaning happiness or snow or blessing in Japanese).

We have been hesitating about having a dog as a pet for a long while.

Then, Papa Ed bought it for my birthday.

We adore her cute look, the way she reacts when tickled and love her “heart melting” little whine.

Coincidentally, I discovered later that YUKI’s brother has been bought by an ex-schoolmate of mine and we are staying nearby (what a small world).

Hmm..I may be seasoned to taking care of children. But…..not a dog.

A puppy is as delicate as our babies and it will be a while before we understand her behaviour and habits and now that YUKI is having kennel cough, we are taking special care of her.

Oh! Yuki is such a cutie even when she is asleep

Haha…from now, we embark on our new learning  journey - taking care of our new family member “YUKI”. 

[We recognise that it is not an easy task taking care and training a little puppy (worrying when she is sick or naughty or not eating well) but I am sure seeing her grow up healthily and being a great companion to our family - it will be all worth it.]

We are already missing her whenever we leave her alone at home, even for a little while…..
