Collie vs. Dusty

I brought Collie to Roujun's house on 26th of August to meet Dusty and boy oh boy they were a hand full! Dusty's a male Terrier/Westie mix and is around 1 year old. When Collie and Dusty met for the first time, they were kinda cautious of each other. They kept walking in circles, attempting to smell one another's butt. Mmmm... I half suspect that both dogs are gay, they just didn't wanna admit it. After 30mins of ass-sniffing, Dusty became a little territorial and started barking at Collie when Collie took his stuffed toys! Collie, being so timid and erratic like he always is, started hopping around the house like a mad kangaroo and weirdly enough, taking sips from Dusty's water bowl after every 3 hops or so.

Obviously the hopping didn't help much and they started wrestling each other. It's funny how when one dog takes a toy, the other will come and risk his life to snatch it away, and then abandon the toy. If I can't have it, you can't have it too!!! And they were fighting so loudly, the neighbours would have thought that we were holding some dog fighting competition! So we put both dogs in the same cage. (Don't ask why we decided to put 2 aggressive, hostile, fighting dogs in the same cage that is only 1m by 1m wide.) But hey, surprisingly it worked! Both calmed down dramatically, Collie even cried, and friendships were forged. Here are some pictures of them in the cage:


Oooh... Kawaii



Dusty looks pissed.



Hand shakes


Emo dogs.

I had to bring Collie to the vet for his 2nd vaccination so after cleaning up his pee thrice, breaking up some more fights and watching Dusty get his bath, I was off! On the way to the vet, Collie gave a sudden and loud bark in the cab for some reason which made the driver jump. It was HILARIOUS, but that's just because we didn't crash.

The wait at the vet was quick! 5mins after I registered, I was in. The vet was nice, he asked how was Collie doing etc, gave him the jabs and all... everything went smoothly. Then he said, "I suspect Collie might not be pure breed." I was initially shocked but then the vet said because Collie's snout was kinda 'streamlined', whereas a Golden Retriever's one is 'strong'. In other words, Collie had a sharper snout than a regular GR. Whoa! This is revelation! From my own observation, Collie's fur also isn't as thick and fluffy as a regular GR's! Though the vet didn't specify which breed Collie might have the genes of, I have a sneaking suspicion that Collie is in fact, half fox! Look at the equation below.




Make sense doesn't it?
