Of the three, Whisky is the cleverest. She knows a lot of tricks, and it is a joy to watch her perform. Aunt said she really enjoyed teaching Whisky an array of tricks as she seemed to learn the concepts very fast. The two boys, Shadow and Homer, know their share of tricks too, but of course, they are not as accomplished as Whisky.
These smart doggies have won a lot of prizes in the Singapore pet scene!
Homer, Shadow, Whisky posing for a photographAt first the doggies look the same to me and I could not distinguish one from the other. After a few days, I could see that not only do they look different, their personalities are really different too.
Whisky is 7 years old. She is the cool, quiet and obedient one. You could speak to her, and she would seem to understand. Amazing!
Homer is the youngest, but the biggest in size. He eats really fast, and naturally, he won a prize for being the fastest eater at a competition. Homer is also the most enthusiastic and most playful. It was really fun to tease him and to play with him.
Shadow is the most timid. We were saying that he should not be named a Shadow as he was just shadowing the other two. Aunt said Shadow was a "dumb dumb", implying Shadow was a bit slower compared to the other two.
Aunt's dogs are well-trained. They know they are not to pee nor poo in the house and in the car. They know they are not to disturb anything in the house. Only Whisky is allowed on the sofa and on the bed. The other two know the sofa and bed are out of bounds. I tried to tempt Homer to come up to the sofa, but he did not relent! Lol. Such good dog.
Every day when it is time to go out, the dogs have to fetch their own leashes. Reaching home, Aunt will leave the leashes on the floor, and the dogs will have to fetch them by themselves. At meal times, the dogs will sit quietly by their bowl and wait for Aunt to say the magic word, "Okay". And only then will they wallop their food. As an observer, I was really amused and amazed!
Aunts A****** and I**** put in a lot of love and effort in taking care of the dogs. They walk twice a day and are cleaned every day. Aunt A****** takes good care of their diet, measuring the exact amount of food served using a weighing scale. The dogs eat fruits too!
Aunt firmly believes that dogs can be educated to co-exist harmoniously with human beings. But the doggies are such a lot of work, and I know I will not be able to take care of even one, what more to say three.
