Nature by Inthu

MY PET

Hi Everyone!

( The first picture is when she was 2 months, The 2nd picture is when is was 3  1/2 months old )

Well since I am doing a project about nature and animals…. I finally got my own dog. She is a German Shepherd. She was born on the 2nd of september 2010, we adopted her when she was 6 weeks old. Her name is Shadow. But since it is a girl, my parents call her Shadowie, But i still call her Shadow. I kept her that name. Now she is 4 months.

She has a red collar with purple dots, pink stitch marks. P.S that was my old belt that I didn’t like. But in the coming future , my dad is going to get her a leather belt with her name printed on it.

I train her by giving her dog food treat , So far as the video shows, I have trained come and sit.

My Dog likes to play tag ( run and catchers ). She hates to take a bath(we take her a bath 3 times a week), But she likes to get wet in the rain. Her special character is that she eats vegetables. On Sundays we give her 2 or sometimes 3 huge chunk of cow meat. She eats it all, then later if there are any left overs, she goes downstairs and hides it. After a while , in the evening, we give her a huge bone to brush her teeth, and for her teething. In early mornings I wake up and give her milk.

Her first injury was on the 18th of december 2010, it wasn’t a big one, just a cut on her stopper in the front , right leg.

How it happened : Our gate was open. That means street dogs come in and dig in the garbages. It

was about the size of my dog, but it was a house dog, skinny, male and matured. My brother spotted it, and called my and told me to bring shadow with me. I did. And there was a street dog at the back of my house. Shadow chased it, and it ran away from it. But in one part she whined, the dog didn’t do anything to her. And then once the dog was chased out by Shadow, i saw blood on her leg. I took a look at it, and guess what! There was a cut along the stopper of her right, front leg. My dad told me to spill dettol on the cut. So I did, And i had to hold her head away from the cut, otherwise she will lick it. So once the stinging was over. I let her go, and my brother and I gave a quick flashback to what happened. And TA-DA , my brother found the solution. When Shadow turns, the stopper on her leg stops quickly and lets her change the direction, but she turned a sudden one on a rocky cement floor. So that was the problem. She is okay and all set for another challenge.
