Hershey turns Five!

Born Rezzfuzhar Lady Sniper, my golden retriver Hershey turned 5 on 18 October 2005.

Hershey, a female cream coloured goldie, i got shortly after i returned from Melbourne, has been my happy, loving companion in these 5 years in KL. Hershey's there to greet me everyday the moment i walk in the door, often carrying her latest favourite toy in her mouth encouraging a game of fetch. She's one reason why i am eager to go home after a long day, whether from work or from play, and she's the adorable pup that i miss most when i am away from home on holidays.

Goldies are a breed known to be loveable, intelligent, charming and patient. Hershey, as a graduate of Puppy Kindy School, is all that. This pup, who also responds to the Cutest and Babes enjoys her daily walks, sleeping all day, begging for food (careful! don't get her drool all over you), chasing my other pup Chino around and barking at other cats and dogs around the neighbourhood. And her pet hates? Loud noises - from the vacuum cleaner and the occassional thunder - but the worst has to be the hairdryer. Get the hairdryer out and watch her run all the way to the other end of the room!

Sadly, Hershey suffers from a moderate case of Hip Dysplasia (a malformation of the hip joint that can cripple or cause pain) and has to take her Consequin capsules twice daily for the rest of her life which she takes eagerly as the capsules are often followed by her favourite dogtreat.
