The writer’s dog experienced several harrowing incidents in her lifetime, proving herself to be one tough cookie.
A cat has nine lives, so says an ancient proverb.
The moment I saw her, I was drawn to her. Her eyes were gleaming like jewels, and she exuded a friendly and happy nature. Even the other people at the park that day commented about her – there was just something about those eyes. We didn’t realise she was pregnant till about halfway through her gestation period when the vet broke the news. About a month later, she gave birth to six adorable pups. She proved to be a very vigilant and protective mother who watched over her babies like a hawk.
In another incident, an amorous West Highland White Terrier – a small breed – that was off-leash, approached Maisie and me as we were walking along the street one evening. A week before Chinese New Year in 2016, Maisie suddenly collapsed on her side while standing in the hot sun. She loved to sunbathe but perhaps this time the heat proved to be too much. Her body was stiff. It was alarming! So I rushed her to the vet’s.
After prescribing some medication, the vet said we could take her home, and to wait for the blood test results. Her condition continued to deteriorate during the week. And my daughter and I were horrified when we discovered red ants crawling on her body. One evening, Maisie cried when our other dogs returned from their walk. We were elated to hear her voice again, as she had been silent since the stroke. She then tried to get up on her feet; she would take one or two steps, then falter and fall down.
