- Golden boy the chihuahua wants to become a socceer player!
[I have obtained prior approval from Golden Boy's owner for publishing this case]
Just had a chat with Golden Boy, a 2.5 year old chihuahua. I was expecting to chat with a naughty and mischievous boy until I started talking to him, he was easy going and fun to chat with, and very well mannered!
Me: Hey, Golden Boy! Your owner asked me to have a chat with you, is that ok?
GB: Sure, let’s talk! (said with an upbeat tone)
Me: She wants to know if you like her or her mom more?
GB: (Without hesitation) Mom. (the owner’s mom) Because she plays with me all the time.
(Golden Boy’s owner told me that it’s very obvious that he likes her mom more, especially when she plays with him everyday before he sleeps.)
Me: Your owner told me you are very naughty sometimes?
GB: No, I am not.
Me: But you are naughtier than Mui Mui (another dog in the house) ?
GB: No, not naughtier, we are just very different.
Me: You bark all the time?
GB: Bark? no I don’t bark.
Me: Well, did you go “woof woof” at people?
GB: Oh yeah! I was just striking conversations with them. Why? They think I talk too loud?
Me: Yeah, I am afraid so.
GB: Fine… I will lower my voice next time.
(His owner told me little Golden Boy is very chatty, whenever people talks, he would joins the conversation. Well, let’s see if he really lowers his voice then.)
Me: What’s your favorite toy?
(GB didn’t give me a verbal answer. Instead, I found some interesting scenes popping up – he was watching soccer matches and imagined himself as one of the soccer players! I asked the owner if Golden Boy likes soccer, and she told me that every night, they would pass a soccer field and sometimes people would be playing soccer there. Golden Boy would stop and watch the matches for a bit every now and then. Well, I guess he was also fantasising himself as a soccer hero! LOL!)
