Trooper’s adventures

Went to fetch Trooper back from camp when I was back from KL. Camp had ended as the campmaster had taken ill and was unable to take care of Trooper.

So I had to find alternative arrangements for poor Trooper due to my erratic travelling schedule these few weeks.

My sis agreed to take him as long as he could fit in and doesn’t cause any problems. So we brought Trooper to her place and could see that he is better behaved than the first time. Trooper had become more socialised, and didn’t snarl and bite like he used to.

He got along swell with Samson and Sassy, and was soon trooping all over the garden with them. He also helped himself to the water bowl of course. We then road tested him to see if he’d dash out once the front gate opened. He passed. After a couple of hours, we all felt safe that Trooper could stay.

As I left the front gate Trooper tried to run after me. Aiyo, this little one is quite a character.

Then my sis called to say that she couldn’t keep Trooper cos he barked all night. I think very likely cos he’s never stayed outdoors before. He’s been an apartment dog all his life and this being his first day outdoor, and also unused to his various campting trips, he got all uptight. Having fussy neighbours I completely understood her situation.

But she was very kind to say that Trooper could stay over in the day time (since he doesn’t bark) and just need to pick him up after work so he doesn’t stay overnight and make noise.

I thought it was a brilliant arrangement. He could run around all day with Samson and Sassy to tire himself out, and then go home to zzzz all night. Man, this is looking at a puppy day care arrangement!

Haha anyhow this starts tomorrow, we’ll see how. Let’s hope Bruno and Murray won’t be jealous that Trooper’s been trooping all over the island.
