On the 2nd day, we bought Sunny along to the market to have our dinner, since we wanted to have our dinner there, we brought Sunny along with him inside his crate, shortly after our dinner, I saw Sunny scratching and pushing his cloth to one side of the crate... I thought he wanted to poop... But instead... He vomited, making a huge mess.
But anyway, Sunny adapted to our house very quickly, but he is just way too active, he likes to run in circles around my furnitures and he likes to jump up and nibble on my hand, at times, he even attacked my toes...
This is a photo of Sunny when we was at our place after 10 days:
Later, i grew to learn what's teething, and that's when Sunny's baby teeth will drop and changed to Canine teeth. At times you will see some blood on some of his toys and the next moment you will see one or two of Sunny's teeth on the floor, sometimes he will spit it out, other times, even before you realised it, Sunny has already swallowed his tooth down. Ha ha.
Not sure why, people kept saying that dogs are actually very clean animals, but Sunny seems to step on his poop all the time... And it's really that bad, the poop will stuck in between his paws and it will stuck on the floor tiles too. *Oh man!*
There was this point of time where I doubt Sunny was a Yorkshire Terrier. It's so confusing, after reading the post on Silky vs. Yorkie, I am still not able to get a clue in telling the two breeds apart... And Sunny seems to be longer than any other Yorkie breeds around in SG.
Within a month, I got Sunny a trainer to do Obedience Training. Sunny's progress is good, but at times, he is just really, very rowdy! But it's OK, the trainer got everything under control, and I am following all the instructions too. :)
On 20 August, I bought Sunny to NADC @ Terban Garden to have his first ever grooming session. The groomer didn't do a good job as he didn't even realise that Sunny's nails were bleeding until I brought it out to his attention. What a bad experience for both Sunny and me. But it was a lesson learnt as I didn't point it out to the groomer that Sunny's nails are black and that he shouldn't cut it too short.
But anyway, after grooming, here's how Sunny looks like:
Somehow I feel that Sunny is beginning to act a bit weird at home, I realised that no matter what, he must at least see people around him when he's awake. And he will only take a nap when there's someone around his playpen. And if I walk away, he will be awake, and looking around... Then I see that he is not interesting in his toys anymore, though I just got a new bear for him. Seems that he doesn't really like running around, but just walking, and not knowing what he really wants.
There was even this once when I brought him up from his usual walks, not sure why, but Sunny got very KPO, his head went into one of the Muslim's house gate. Made me got scolded as a reault... (But if it brings bad luck to the muslims, then Sunny perhaps will bring the good luck to my house... Ha ha.)
Here's a photo of Sunny and his bear from IKEA:
Slowly, Sunny was exposed to other dogs in the neighburhood, and that's when I see how dogs get to check each other's out and play around. :)
Bought Sunny to The Joyous Vet on the 29 August, and found out that Sunny was down with fungus infections, and that explains all the scratching and scratching and scratching all over his body! And because of Sunny's fungus infections, my sister and I got infected too! And up till today, the spot still can be seen on our legs...
5 September, this is the first time I tie a top knot for Sunny boy, OK, I know it's a bit girlish, but that's to prevent his fur from getting into his eyes:
Picture says a thousand words, now lets take a look at some photos of Sunny...

Sunny looking smart, acting smart:
Sunny is just an illusion~~
And soon, it's Christmas! I got Sunny his outfit from Diaso, just in case he doesn't want to wear it, and it's not that wasteful. Sunny is willing to let us put the scarf and hat on for him, but the next moment when you look at him, he will be there chewing on the scarf. Ha ha.

Then, it has been 6 months since Sunny was with us,there were joy, anger and so much more other feelings... But most of the time, Sunny brought laughter to our family, and that's the purpose of me bringing him home in the first place. :)
Sunny boy celebrated his 1st Birthday on the 26th January 2008 at Botanic Garden. I went to US Doggie Bakery @ Turf City and got him a piece of somewhat pandan flavor cream cake. I bet he must have enjoyed it a lot!
Just look at how he gobble down his cake:
But that day when we were at Botanic Garden, I guessed there were too many ants around, Sunny kept scratching his own body and even roll all over the floor, heartache to see him feel so uncomfortable...
And there was this day where I think Sunny were playing too excitedly before he go off to bed. When I was just about to bring him back to his confinement area at night, I realised that his cushion bed was wet with pee... Yikes, and he just taken his bath OK?
There was another day, I guessed he just came back from grooming, I came home and he decides to poop all over the house... Within 5 minutes, he pooped at 5 different spots, all the way from the dinning room, to the kitchen, to the living room... Spent a hard time trying to clear up the mess that he left me. But thank god, it wasn't anything like diarrhea.
Now, it's Chinese New Year! My mum got Sunny boy a CNY clothing as she strike 4D. :)
Just look at how smart Sunny looks:
Brought Sunny to my grandparents place yesterday and followed by one of my aunty's place for the yearly CNY gathering. The Maltase (13 years old) and Shih Tzu (8 months old) were the center of attraction, and for Sunny, he is behaving very hyper actively, kept wanting to go around sourcing for food dropped on the floor.
But I guessed Sunny did enjoy himself, because all the kids there were having fun with the 3 dogs in the house!
And guessed what? 3 of my cousins even gave him an angpao (and that adds to his food fund as he is running low on his kibbles)... Hehe.
