05/10/2009 – Hardest Placements

Today, just after I finished my night shift, somehow I know I am tired and sleepy.. but something inside me keep me going.. Today is the placement for Maestro (now known as Tofu) and placement for Angel.

For Tofu, we have gone thru a few rounds of communication with new owners – Alex and Lina. They are nice couple who impressed us and we can see how much they love little Tofu, every time they were at my place.
Something cannot hide.. they are real dog lovers. Although now, little Tofu maybe quite far from my place, I think distance does not matter, it is the trust we have. Surely, little Tofu will be missed by my family. We hope the new family well and we going to meet up real soon.

Among the litters of 5. Angel was not my top favorite when they are all very small and a few days old. My top favorite was little Tofu and White Socks (aka Teddy Bear). Those days, Angel is the biggest pup, she always get her way to her mother for milk 1st. I have to keep pulling her back in order for the rest to get a fair share of their mum’s milk. As days past, Angel turned out to be not the biggest puppy among them. In fact, I was very attracted to her temperament and later her born to show quality. She learns very fast and she is outstanding when she stack for me without much problem. With her lovely temperament, she is everyone’s favorite baby girl at home.

With more plans upcoming, shows to attend and other activities for the dogs at home, I soon realized the need to place out these 2 little ones before they get too attached to us. They are now 6+months old, we faced the toughest part of breeding – to place them. Well.. it is the toughest part of all activities till today. It is really tough for me to just walk away without looking back after I handled over the leashes. I cannot help it but to turn and take 1 last look at Angel when she was about to take the lift up to her new home.

Now, I am feeling much better, it hurts to place them away but I know they will be in good hands now. I can now focus all my attention on Ben and Bella for this coming show. Not to forget, Melody (Mel) is coming back. We missed her alot when she is away.

I must thank Steven and his family for take such a good care on Mel. I know how they will feel to part with Mel.. you have my words, I will do my best to bring her to meet up with the whole family after she has settle in nicely.

It is a long day.. we will look ahead.. work together as a team.. and for a better tomorrow!
