Day 3- Tails Docked!

My puppies went to the vet this morning. I was in my owner's converse bag. Enough room for me to lie. My puppies were placed in a sturdy cardboard box. When i saw my owner lifting the box and bringing my puppies to the door, i panicked... and i followed closely- to the extent of using 2 legs to walk so that i could be nearer to the puppies.

We couldnt hail a cab. As you may be aware, i'm very defensive and protective of my pups. Any strangers would be a threat and danger to me. So, when i stepped out of the house, i met this malay lady whom was carrying some heavy stuff. I thought she meant harm. I barked and guess what she did! She scolded us "CHEE BXX"!!! That's so rude of her but my owner ignored as the priority is to get a cab as it was raining.

Believe it or not, it's easier to hail a cab from the road than at the taxi stand! We stood there for ard 20minutes before we could get a taxi uncle willing to fetch me despite me being placed in the bag. Throughout the journey, my owner patted me alot. She reassured me that the pups are in good hands and are safe.

We reached and once my owner opened the taxi door, i barked non stop! I saw a jack rusell and many others. I felt so intimidated. To appease the other owners, my owner had to grab my mouth and asked me to keep quiet. No choice, i was led to a corner together with my pups. My pups yelped and my natural instincts told me that they need milk. So i climbed into the shoe box. I know that's silly of me. Apparently the shoe box is much smaller and could hardly contain me, but trust me, it's instincts! My owner then requested if she could have a nursing area for me and we were then brought to a cage. The pups cuddled around me as i breast fed them.

We were there for about 1 hour before the vet attended to us. They removed my pups and kept me in the cage. I was hopping mad as I know the pups were defenseless. They need me to protect. I made a lot of whining noise in the cage and my owner spotted me and requested for me to be brought out of the cage while the vet prepares to dock my darlings' tails.

The docking process was definitely a torturing process. I heard my pups whining. I know they are in pain but i couldnt do anything to save them. My owner also wonder if the right choice had been made as it was rather cruel to snip away the tails for "cosmetic" reasons. But then again, we seldom see schnauzer with long tails, do we?

The whining sound from my pups came behind the door. I tried to bang the door with my head and i was so nervous till i'm literally shaking. Yes i mean shaking, not because of the aircon but i was so helpless. I want to save the pups but my capabilities are limited. I kept begging my owner to carry me and to reassure me. I couldnt even settle for just 1 second!

The pups were finally done with the docking. I heaved a sigh of relief. Guess what! I could even jump up a chair that was about knee height! I have never done this stunt before anywhere. It goes to show that dogs unleash their true capabilities at the nick of time!

Now back home, i need to nurse them again. Look at the video of me nursing Puppy 1.





And they nursed non stop... making me tired... and i refused to nurse them in the next video.. haha...





I love my puppies!
