I realized that Qooki is really friendly with children. It might be because they are small sized like him. Yesterday we met a few eurasian children, aged 4 to 7 years old, along the connector. They came up to me asking if they could pat Qooki. Of course I allowed them!

I asked them what their names were and one of them mentioned that she was called poppy. For a moment, it flashed across my mind that "is'nt that my dog's name?". She has the same name as my dog!

Another of the girls liked his head.

*pat pat pat.

Qooki loves it when he is the center of attention.

If your dog is fat, you're not getting enough exercise.

I laughed the moment I stumbled upon this quote. It reminded me to Qooki's walks. Everyday Qooki goes for his daily 10 minute walks along the park connector. Or rather, he insists (talk about being stubborn) on going for them despite the rain or sun. If I don't, he will bark incessantly until he gets it! :(

I hate to admit there are days when I feel lazy to bring him out for his walks but I always remembered what Mummy casually mentioned during our conversation...

Me:" Mummy, I'm so lazy to bring poppy out to walk!"
Mummy:" How can you deprive poppy of his long awaited moment of the day?"

My heart always wrench whenever I recall what mummy said because when I put myself in Qooki's shoes, I will be very upset if my owner does'nt bring me out for my happy walks. Don't ask me why I put myself in poppy's shoes... I wonder why too.
