Say Hello To Bravo
15 Oct 2005
The latest addition to our family is Bravo. He was born on 31 Aug 2005 and is barely 6 weeks old today. He is a Golden Retriever puppy, weighing in at 4.3 kg, which is the same weight as Nicey.
His father is a majestic looking dog with a golden brown colour in 3 shades while his mother is a plain beige colour. The father's paws are huge, almost like that of a small lion.
Bravo has a strong jaw-bone, beautiful mouth and tongue, slanted eyes with large paws. He will grow up to be a good guardian for the family.
He has just been vaccinated. So we cannot bath him for another week. He is due for another jab at the end of the month, during which an identification chip will be injected into his body for future identification, in case he is lost.
His diet is very simple, consisting of 2 heaped spoonfuls of soaked puppy grade food - Eukanuba 100% lamb meat and rice premixed, together with milk and boiled water. His body is still fragile so we cannot give him tap water. He loves the milk and lapped it up very quickly. He needs to be fed 4 times a day.
Right now, mama has placed him in the toilet to toilet-train him. He looks so pitiful, locked up there. Probably he misses his siblings.
Nicey was so hostile to see the new intruder. She hissed at him and bit him on the head. Bravo has never been attacked before so he does not know the meaning of fear. He kept trying to be friends with nicey but I don't have much hope for that, knowing nicey's character - melancholy sanguine.
Later, I will post Bravo's photos here once I figure out how to do it.
