*[[ Why white static puppy? ]]*

I do wonder at times why I was known as "The white static puppy"

El named me Keira. When mummy did a search on the internet for the meaning of this name, she almost fainted.

The feminine form of Ciaran, from the Irish ciar meaning "dark" and implies "dark hair and brown eyes." St. Ciara was a distinguished seventh-century figure who established a monastery at Kilkeary in County Tipperary.
It was the fourth most popular baby girl name in Ireland in 2003

*[[ The unknown future for me ]]*

I don't really move much around in my mummy's room.
I was always seen just lying in a corner and would start to go into hiding whenever anyone comes in.
One of the familiar faces (who used to feed me while I was still in the wild) came into the room the next day to check on me.
Heard my mummy calling her Elsie.
She said that I look so weak, not moving much and my gums were totally pale.
I was full of fleas and ticks as well.
Mummy, Daddy and Elsie took turns to take out the pests from my body.
It took them a few hours everyday and they always ended up with a backache.
Daddy also gave me a bath which I never had before.
It was brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

After a few days later, I was brought to the vet with the other puppies.
However, the others went ahead with the vaccination except for me.
I was diagnosed with low blood count which explained why I was so weak.
My red blood cell count was below the normal range.

I could sense an intense situation at that time.
Nobody was talking much in the car.
My mummy and Elsie looked a bit distressed.
I heard something like "......she might not even survive..." in a soft worried tone.
I didn't really hear much as I was too tired.
My eyes were heavy and I just slept quietly inside the carrier.

*[[ The first night at my home ]]*

All the puppies seem to have found a fosterer to be settled down.
Except for me.

I think they did not really know what to do with me.
After a long hesitation, my mummy decided to bring me back temporarily.

*still feeling confused*

Saw my mummy peeping at me with a few other dogs aka my sisters.
I tried to give a little growl to scare them away but it didn't seem to work.
My mummy came back to check on me every little while.

I decided to try being friendly.
I shoot a smile at her when she whispered softly at me with "Hi baby!"

Her eyes brightened up immediately.
I could tell that she was amazed with my smile.
*light bulb turns on* hur hur hur, maybe I will get my freedom if I continue to do so.
Thus she tried again.
There I was ... smiling at her.

I saw her jumping out of the room happily.
I guessed I scored.
*aiyooo eh, humans are so easily contended, kekekeke*

*[[ The day that changed my life ]]*

On one particular evening, I had a twist of fate. (Thank god!)
The 2 familar faces brought a few people into our site.
I recognised my mummy from the group as she came in a few nights before with them.
I think she came straight after her work as she was still in her office wear.
A few of them started to peep inside the tunnels and then started to run after us.
I don't know what's got into me that day but I was pinned down by this young fellow!!!

My mummy then appeared and was busy snapping photos of me left and right.
How could she take photos while I am so frightened and confused!!! ARGHHH!

*The not very happy me*

Not all of the puppies were rescued out and they seem to have a commotion between them.
Some of them were sitting on the roadside and I saw my mummy looking pale holding onto her forehead several times.

The 2 black and white puppies are said to be my sister and brother.
When they were caught, both of them were so frightened tiill they poo all over on the rescuers.
Luckily for them, they found very nice fosterers (who then turned to their mummy and daddy in the future) on the day itself.

*little sister hiding*

*[[ Who am I? ]]*

Anyway, let's talk about me because this blog is about me me and ME!

I used to stray around a construction area with some other bigger dogs and about 20 puppies.
All of us have to learn to defend for ourselves since birth.
Be it rain or shine, the only roof over our heads are those dirty metal tunnels that we can find and squeeze in.
We gotta be careful as there are dangerous sharp metal stuff around us.
When it rains at times, the floor will be full of soil and it gets muddy thus I will just stay in my "kennel" watching the rain in darkness dozing off alongside the sound of droplets.

I used to see 2 familiar faces at night as they often climbed in and bring in some food for us.
Although I am glad for that but I would stay wary and never allowed them to get near me.
I would just sit and watched them from far until they left.
Should anyone attempted to get near me, I would dash off as fast as lightning.
That's the most basic thing that we strays have to learn.
And we also have to be extra suspicious when we see food appear out of nowhere.
Those I call it, the trap of death.

Unfortunately, some of my friends do get caught.
I would hide in the tunnel shivering while watching my perified friends struggling in vain, crying out loud at the top of their voices while the humans dumped them into a van that was parking nearby.

After the van drove off, that's the last time that I see of my friends.
Once again, it will be another peaceful day till the humans come back for us.

*[[ Greeting from the white little puppy! ]]*

Hi all,

With the proliferation of dog blogs, (although my elder sister, Pepper has one few years back) My mummy decided to dedicate one to me as she said that my life is quite happening and everyday I will have some "surprise" for her.

And I did remember my mummy told my daddy that she loves surprises.
But I don't know why her face will cringe whenever she saw those that I gave her.

Weird mummy, isn't it?
