Legacy village : Out to Socialise!

Brought him out to have some socialisation!
Let him get use to the outdoor scenes, noises, sights, colours, children, dogs, kids, adults and all colours! And he is a superstar, everyone wants a piece of him. We hear alot of awwwwwww, ahhhhhhhhh; he is sooooo cute! And he did well with all the socialisation, and he is not afraid of HUGE dogs, and want to bully them. NOTTI!

One fact, he didn't try to pee or poo during the WHOLE process when we went out. He only do it when we are getting food to go home and brought him to a patch of grass and coax him to Pee! We should be happy that we have a well mannered dog or a stupid one who dun want to pee when he is outside!? But his timetable was a but mixed up because we went out and he didn't have his meal, pee and poo on time!

Today we also achieved to let him got use to his soft crate and he is so tired he fell asleep in it!
Yeahhhhhh ~

YQ will always hv a better shots with him because his attention is always ON ME!

After the walk he is too tired, he has to fall alseep somewhere and he has gotten to sleep in the soft crate.

We are happy!

A tired westie, but there are too much distraction around for him to fall into deep sleep!

Knock out when he can!

And for once, he woke up fully 9am the next day!

Almost one week!

It has been almost ONE WEEK that he is here and we are SO DRAINED out of our energy! But we are getting use to each other in our lifes! Toto loves me so much, hubby is VERY JEALOUS! He looks for me for cuddle, petting, food, play and approval!

Hubby says, Toto loves me More than HIM!
Toto loves me to bits to! It often bring abit of pleasure knowing that Toto is looking out for me, and preferring me to carry him than YQ. He even prefer to play in my lap! Or if YQ is carrying him in the Patio enjoying the view, he prefers me to carry him than YQ! And if I walk pass, whatever Toto is doing, it will just turn around and look at me hoping I walk over to pet him! YQ complains SO UNFAIR, when I kept saying I want to give him away, yet Toto still loves me more than him, haha ...


When we play acting that YQ is bullying me, and ask Toto to help me, he will try to jump Snapping at YQ!!

 So I am the center of universe in his life, hahahaha ...

Hubby is a GREEN monster!

Something ODD :

• He is a homey dog, he DO NOT like to go out! We have to FORCE him out the house. And the happiest moments in our walk is WHEN he is running up the steps BACK HOME!

• He will Poo outdoor but Pee indoor!

• Yeah, we are understanding him slowly and controlling him better so he is making less and less mistakes! (Plus we are crating him more.)

• He is most accurate when he is in crate, he will BARK at us for attention when he need to Pee or Poo when he is in crate! And we don't have to wake up EVERY one or two hour for him. He can control his pee rather well for his age! For now, he is can be tolerating up to about 6-7hours ...

• He prefer cloth toys to rubbers ones! We think, he might not like the taste of rubber which works well for us because it meant he doesn't like the taste of cables or wires!

• Another thing we love about him, he doesn't have the habit of roaming the house, usually he likes to keep himself near us. So we didn't have problem of him biting this or that. (But we are still in an early stage, I know!)

ONE MAJOR FLAW :

• He wakes TOO EARLY for my liking, like 5am! He will still try to sleep till 7am till SUNRISE, but really TOO EARLY for an owl like me.

Toto with his favourite, toy; Gecko!

Nope we do not allow him on the Patio Fake grass!

But he is allow on our lap, enjoying the sunset ...

Who says Westie are NOT lapdog?

He lap till my thigh went numb like 3hours napping on my BIG FAT THIGH!

Toto just love the sunset and the view of our patio!

He looks like a Meow Meow from behind right!!

Oh, he allow our HAND or us to meddle in his food.

He will not snarl or bark or snap at us halfway through his meal even if we take away his bowl or just meddle with his food! That is A VERY GOOD HABIT!

He loves the water but he doesn't know how to swim, maybe we can train him to be a life guard dog yeah!

Trying to train him to stay in my bag when we go out!

His daily walk!

His Pee pee and Poo poo Indoor Nugi Pad!

X rated!

Pee Pee on Tray!

Love and hate relationship goes on ...

Toto THE TERROR!

His Onery side is getting very OBVIOUS!

When I ask him to his Nugi to go 'Pee Pee', he can understand and will Pee if he has any.

YQ has try walking him from the Crate in the room to his pen, he go direct to the Nugi to Pee.

He has accepted Food as treats and begin liking to play with his toys!

He is learning and willing to do some simple command with treats; Sit, Stand, Down and ROll!

He is a NEAT freak and kept his own area very neat and nice.

He will find all his toy and keep it in his own den

He like YQ to tidy up his den and fold his blanket for him to sleep in!

And he loves the FAN, as long as the fan is on he sleep like a pig.

And everytime before he sleep, he will want either one of us to 'sayang' him abit and then he sleep!

He is most accurate when he sleeps at night, he will bark for attention when needed to pee. BUT he still marks around, lost him twice today!

You see how all his toys is kept near him, and near his favourite blanket with his mommy scents!

It seems his marking problem cannot be 'solve' so we have to get THE CARPET cleaner!

Hopefully this help with our situation!!

First Vet Visit!

Everything went very smoothly and the Vet was very impressed with Connie's medical record for Toto! She says some breeder, only have some handwritten notes. Ours are very comprehensive!! Everything went well, no struggles or snapping.

And Toto was a STAR, everyone loves him!

His ear is NOT injured la, when he came back home his ear FLOP and YQ so kancheong (nervous)!! So we use tape to help it 'STAND'! Erected ear is a Terrier trademark!! When we fetch TOTO and see that his ear and tail already stand YQ so excited lo, but when we reached home, one of the ear flop he so KANCHEONG (nervous) leh! And he quickly searched onlines for remedy! So there you goes, a TAPED westie!

He is 4.8lbs and very healthy and ALL BOY!

A fecal examination was done and he is WORM FREE.

(Vet's word : He should be with all the meds!)

See how deeply he is sleeping with his own PERSONAL Fan!

He is sleeping so deeply, he allow hubby to FILE his nail with a electronic device!

What a Pig!

Today ..

• He miss once shit and once pee.
• He wasn't negative about being crated in the POP up crate in the car.
• We can keep him in the crate without closing the door of the crate.
• He is still very demanding about being crate. And usually would only do it willingly if we cuddle and pet him for about 5minutes before he would be willing to do it.
• He finally play with his 'Toys' and take his 'Treats' and successfully do some 'Sit'.

2nd day at home!

He wake up all fierce and mighty, and with a FLOP ear! Hubby is so dissapointed, and blame me for his flop ear because I might have damage it during the car ride back!

The MESS he created first day!

We used Nature Miracle, Vinegar and Baking Soda to clean up his mess and sprinkle EVERYWHERE with baking soda hoping to cleanse all the ODOUR of his urine!

While we are scrubbing the carpet like mad, he is sleeping like a PIG!

But for the first day, we achieved alot.
He is successfully -

• Crated
• Kept in Pen while we left for Walmart.
• Full Pee are always done in Nugi
• Poo also in Nugi already
• Slept in Crate throughout the night
• He knows how to inform us in the middle of the night to bring him to Pee
• He ate and drink well
• He is switching over to Solid Gold with no issue.
• We can handle his paws , tail and ears with no problem.
• He isn't afraid of the Vaccum, no barking or snaring when I use it.
• He trusted us, so as long as the electronics is used by us, he gladly accept it.
• As long as the area is abit cold and windy, he falls asleep!
• He abit 'Hum Chee', hahahaha, everything also scared. Good for us which means he don't dare to venture into kitchen or patio or run away or even toilet or our room. He just stays in the living room, near the area where he stay.

Bad :

• We are keeping a vigilant watch because he wants to do marking, so he cannot be trusted on the carpet.
• He likes to be hold and cuddle ALWAYS. And he loves to jump up and sleep, on my HUMONGOUS thigh. That is his sleep Heaven!

He has arrive in Texas!

The Ranch; Blue Sky, Green Grass and fresh tree smell!

The sweet lady, Connie. She is very soft spoken and a nice lady, introducing us to all the westies and puppies! We saw a few Megan's puppies, she say they be leaving soon too ...

My first time holding him ...

He was struggling ALOT!

He arrived home but with a FLOP ear, YQ is devasted!!

Sleeping soundly ...

He was a darling throughout the trip, no mishap; no vomitting, shitting, urinating, phobia, anxiety! He was wrap around my arm, as long as I am stroking him he just fall asleep. And he slept most of the way. Although we stopped about 3x but he only urinated once in our stop and we actually stop lesser than planned.

We are happy for now.

Day 01

We have also manage to successfully trick him into moving into the crate.

He is only allow in the bedroom IF HE IS in the crate

And some hit on the Nugi but of course there are more miss!

He doesn't bark at our vaccum.

 He is willing to walk side by side with me (without training)

He already can react to us, walking to me or him when called to.

A really TIRING day for him and US!
