14. The Corgi is not afraid of the hungry ghosts
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
"He just sleeps alone by himself," I was incredulous. Most new puppy owners complain of the whining and barking of puppies left alone. Here, this Australian-imported Pembroke Corgi was not bothered. He just slept by himself on the marble floor of the living area, went to the papers in the bathroom near the kitchen in the middle of the night.
"Without lights being switched on," the young lady owner said. "He is not afraid of the hungry ghosts." The mention of ghosts always give me a shiver down the spine. I don't want to be alone in the darkness of the night.
Once I was in Scotland, at 18 years old to study veterinary medicine in the Glasgow University. I visited the kind elderly Scottish couple who hosted a dinner for new foreign student arrivals to make them settled down.
After dinner which ended near midnight, I had to walk through a cemetery to catch a bus to my hostel. All alone in a suburb of Scotland. A very quiet and dark cemetery path. My heart beated very fast. The winter air was cold. I imagined a wisp of fog as apparitions popping out from the graves. I did not know how I made the 10-minute dash through this short cut.
This was the month of August 2005 and many Chinese people have had been burning paper money and offering fruits and food at various locations in Singapore. To give food and drinks and money to the hungry ghosts that appear in this Hungry Ghosts Month.
This Corgi was the perfect puppy. One of a kind. He was paper trained in less than 7 days. In the daytime, he would use the paper in the balcony area. At night, he prefers the one near the kitchen. Hard to believe.
"He herds my husband," the lady owner said.: "But not me or when my husband is alone with him." I don't know whether this Corgi is behaving like a sheep dog or is he communicating or playing tug-of-war with the husband's legs. Are they herding dogs? They are famous as the Queen's dogs. He should be an excellent companion and might be mouthing the husband. Puppies communicate by "nipping or biting", also known as mouthing. This is a common complaint of new puppy owners. Howe to prevent such bad behaviours developing into bite aggression? That is the problem for many new owners to resolve.
