This is my sister's article.
Thank you to my wonderful sponsors.As a child, I know that I will always have something special for animals in my heart. However, my mom, she don't like pets in our house. At that time we were little and don't know how take care of them, so it's understandable that she will go against it because she will be the only one who can take good care of the. Eventhough my father likes to keep pets, he don't know how to clean their mess. We had aruana (fish), dogs, pigeons and chickens before. Only the chickens were kept since my father focuses on taking good care of them. As per the fish, It jumped out of our aquarium that caused him to be dead. Our dog was given to our neighbor and I don't know what happened to the pigeons.
As I grew older, I never really thought of getting a pet as I am contented with my life. Until, the heartbreak happened and as a way of moving on and diverting my attention from the pain, I decided to buy a dog. Unfornately, the one I'm eyeing for had been sold already. But I guess it was really meant to be because as I lost my hope on getting a dog, I got a news from my friend that they were looking for people who would adopt the abandoned puppies. The mom of these pups died when they were a month old. I fell inlove with the puppy that looked like she has a socks on and named her Moshi. The name came from my favorite snack Moshi Manju.
Now, you think it will come as easy as one, two, three? No. At the time my father no longer wants dog inside our house. But as the rebel I am, I still brought Moshi home with the knowledge that my father won't accept her. Now, when I got home, he will allow me to go inside our house, if and only if Moshi will be left outside. Which I won't allow since Moshi is a month old and prone of dying without supervision. I stayed with her for four hours outside, I guess. Take note that I still have shift later that night. I don't know what kind of magic my mom did but after that four hours, my dad go out and let us in. I was at my happiest.
As a first time dog owner, I seek advise from my friends who has experienced in taking care of dogs. I bought what they recommended and do whatever they will suggest. So far so good, not until Moshi got her first deworming. Her poop had blood. She went about it overnight. I can't take her to the vet since it was late a night and they were closed. So when morning strikes, I brought her to her vet and done some consultation. She was tested for parvo, good thing it came out negative. So the vet prescribed vitamins and dextrose powder. I talked to Moshi to never leave me and after some days, she recovered. Thank God!
Providing her daily milk and dog food is really expensive compared to a human's food. With the help of my younger siblings, Moshi grew healthy and active. She is now turning 7th month this 25th of September. It will be a new setting to her since we are already on our new home.
First time in my life that I never wanted to go outside or be far away from home. It's because I don't want my baby to be waiting for me. She is very clingy. Imagine, I go out to buy food no more than 10 minutes, but when I get home, she will welcome me as if we've last seen each other for eternity. I love how she can make me busy in a good way. I love spending time with her. She is my life. She literally changed my almost drowning world. She is my life.
