My journal of raising a poodle puppy / Seng Hui Zanne

Raising a poodle puppy is a joyful experience. On May 12 2024, my family welcomed Doudou, known as Si Kacang. At first, she was tiny and fluffy with a pair of small eyes. Because of her small eyes, we named her Doudou, which means 'bean' in Chinese. Doudou’s arrival marked the beginning of an adventure filled with love, learning, and growth. The first day Doudou arrived, she was playful and curious about everything. Now, she has settled in nicely. One of the biggest challenges is house training. We spent almost two months on it and currently she is doing very well. Accidents still happen, but she learns quickly. We have established a feeding schedule, but sometimes, she is picky about her food. Surprisingly, she loves durians but it is only permissible sparingly due to her indigestion problem. Her favourite toy is a duck-shaped soft toy which she always hugs while sleeping.
