I believe in fate.
We did not stay on a landed plot so I knew big dogs were out for us. Breeds which shed huge amount of fur were also out because both my sister and I have allergic skin and are prone to rashes. In the end, after numerous books, the breed I decided on was toy poodle – small, shed minimally but require regular grooming and supposedly one of the smartest breeds around.
I was more prone towards a girl as according to the books, male dogs are generally more aggressive and territorial, whereas female dogs are generally smaller in size, sweeter in nature and easier to care for. I also decided on white.
Together with my dad and my uncle, we started to go around the different pet shops looking for my female white toy poodle. We went to quite a few pet shops but were not able to find any poodle puppies. Finally we went to this pet shop which has what we wanted! This shop has 3 adorable white toy poodles puppies – 2 girls, 1 boy. However, we did not proceed to buy immediately. My dad told me to go home and think about which one I wanted out of the 3. I eventually decided on the younger female as she looked smaller and cuter though I recalled she was extremely jumpy and exuberant when they let her out of her cage. That was Domin, and like they say, the rest is history.
Sometimes I wonder, had I not set all those criteria – female, white, toy poodle – which breed and which dog might I have ended up with? Had I not insisted on my white toy poodle and perhaps buy a puppy of other breeds at the first few pet shops that we went to, what would things be like today? Had I chosen the other 2 poodle puppies instead of Domin, what would have happened to her?
I am very glad I persisted with my search back then and finally found her and chose her. I think she was possibly waiting for me too.
茫茫人海之中 我们能够相遇 这缘分已经足够
