OURS named HERSHEY


A playful DOG


I fell in love with Hershey the first time I laid my eyes on him. He was the most adorable puppy among the litter of 5. The owner (my neighbor) offered me another puppy, but I refused and said I will only take Hershey if they let me. And after two days they agreed for me to take Hershey. I was overjoyed to learn the news, and prepared the arrival of Hershey on my daughter's birthday. It's like a gift to her birthday but also a gift to myself too, because our birthday fall at the same day. I had talked to my husband about the news, but he refused to have a dog in the house.

But my obsession with dog wouldn't stop me from taking Hershey home on our birthday. After work, I picked Hershey up from the neighbor's house and surprised everyone in my house with this 5 weeks old puppy. My husband was shocked but also excited to see him. Well, he was never really much of a dog person and he refused to have a dog in the house. But I convinced him otherwise, and I was glad I did.  Now, he thinks dogs are the best animal ever. It was one of those things that you adjust to once you actually get a dog and realized just how fun and sweet and cute they are.

Up till now we called him Hershey, Booboo, Boy, Baby, BaDog (aaaahhh we call him whatever we felt at the time). When I call him Badog and raised my voice, he understood what that means. And him with his tail down will come to me and plead "guilty" and give a sorry face. If only human admit their mistake, there is no need law enforcement.

Hershey is a mutt, he has a mix golden retriever, german shepherd and a coli. He turned 13 last November and yes, many times I thought of getting rid of Hershey, because I was to tired cleaning his fur. But he's been our loving companion up till now. He is not our whole life, but he makes our lives whole. He knows basic commands, such as sit, sit pretty, down, go out, bad boy, etc. His appetite still remain the same at this age. Don't even try to tease when he is eating, he will growl and protect his food.


At about 3 o’clock in the morning, this morning my 11 year old dog (who sleeps on the bed) sat up, his body got stiff, his tongue dropped out of his mouth, he started drooling, his head bobbed to the side and his eyes and pupils shook up and down.  He was suffering from his first ever seizure. - See more at: http://www.thedogtrainingsecret.com/blog/dog-seizure/#sthash.Wj43qAZS.dpuf

He got seizures when he was about 6 years old, his body was stiff, his tongue dropped out of his mouth, he started drooling .... Once his 2 minutes seizures was over, he seemed normal again. Poor dog!
We took him to the vet, and done some blood work, but have found no real causes. The doctor said it might just be something he was born with, and will just have them from time to time. From then, he has to take a lifetime medication.

Hershey suffered from thunderstorm phobia, specially when the thunderstorms are accompanied by dark skies, changes in air pressure and humidity, and wind and rain. His anxiety level raises and he will starts breathing heavily and going nuts around the house.

One thing I knew about our Hershey, that his everyday life is always full of excitement. He can't wait to eat, he loves to the word "wanna?" That means you wanna walk ... wanna eat ... wanna go out? He got so excited when we came home, he greets us and any visitors. Loves to be among people. They are the only creature that is genuinely, demonstrably excited to see you every time you come home.


What a wonderful world

In the middle of a crowds


But Hershey also steal food from the trash can and counter top. This opportunist dog will steal our food even though he was well fed at home, his instinct might still be to grab whatever around when we are not home. Not only stealing, but he destroys all my pyrex.


This rascal got caught stealing



My last pyrex


Hershey has a lot of personality and makes our family complete. I can't imagine not having one now that we do! Getting him was one of my best decisions, he is so super sweet. He has surely brought laughter and happiness back into our home and we would not wish things any different.


Hershey has earned his place as our family's best friend, thanks to his loyalty, unconditional love and his great ability to fill our lives with lots of fun and joy.
