Adopt a pet/foster one from a pet store.

On the 2nd of June, Kaitlyn, Mum and I were asked to look after a Teacup Maltese called Sophia, because my friend was going away for 6 days. Rewa and Madison dropped her off with some food,  her bed, a blanket and a cute waterproof coat to go on her if it was spitting or cold and we wanted to take her for a walk. When her owners left, she was crying, so we played her favorite game her special toy, the game was piggy in the middle. The first night, Sophia slept in her bed in our room, Kaitlyn and I would take turns of having her on our sides. The next morning, we looked at her dog biscuits and they were very big, we tried to feed her, but she wouldn't eat, and we thought that she was a bit nervous to eat, so mum rang her vets and they said that her food is probably too big for her, so I cut the biscuits up and she ate them, we were very pleased!

The next day while we were at school mum took Sophia for a walk. That night she slept on Kaitlyn's side of the room, but ended up on my side in the morning. On Saturday we went and took her to meet mums friends dog Milly, she was a little bit bigger than Sophia, but they got along well. We took them for a walk to the park and back for some fresh air. When we got home, she had a big drink of water, lay in her bed and fell asleep. On Sunday, Mum, Kaitlyn and I decided to go for a walk around the Waikareao Estuary, but it was 9 km and we did not think that Sophia could manage it. When we got home, she was very please to have some company and Sophia was very energetic! On Monday, we got up and discovered that Sophia had piddled and plopped on the new carpet! We took Sophia for a walk, twice on Monday, then we went to Rebel Sport and bought new hockey sticks. We had a hockey practice that day at school, but not all of our team turned up. When we got home, we had dinner and watched a little bit of X Factor. On Tuesday we had to go to school, so we said bye to Sophia, because Rewa and Madison were picking her up that day. Kaitlyn and I were sad that she was leaving, but we enjoyed the time we had with her!
Here is a photo of Sophia in her bed, cuddled up.

  1. Sophia sounds like she had a dog holiday with you while her owners were away. Great thinking to call the vet when she wouldn't eat the biscuits - that must have been concerning. Have you been badgering mum about getting a new dog now?
