Shiro Diary #1

I came home to a bundle of joy, the biggest surprise of my life.

Let me introduce everyone to Shiro.

Shiro is a Japanese Spitz baby boy.

He was born on the 3rd of July and is now 6 weeks old.

Shiro came to us on the 18th of August 2009.

Ray met and picked him up on that very morning before settling him in his house and meeting me in the city. I came back to his place totally oblivious about his whole plan until I saw something fluffy and white scurrying around his feet.

Ray asked me the day before what I would call my future dog. I answered, "Winter for male and Lila for female". Along with a million other names.

In the end, we settled for Shiro. Shiro means white in Japanese.

He is still a baby.

He walks clumsily and runs more clumsily.

He was crying the whole of his first night at his new home.

I hope he won't cry so much tonight.

I never thought my birthday and childhood wish of having a puppy would come true so soon.

I guess making a wish through your blog really works.

I think having a someone like Mr Tan is really amazing.

I know I am living my dream and better still, this is in reality.
