Proti, Abandoned Puppy Made Family Member

Two weeks ago, my Big Bro found an abandoned girl puppy near the factory. Her mother was nowhere in sight for days. She's just dying. Big Bro then brought her back, thinking to feed her a few days of milk before putting her back to where she belonged.



Yoyo (my dearest niece) insisted on naming her. The first doggy name that flashed through her mind was Pluto, one of the Disney character that she's familiar with. But after her trying to feed the little doggie with bread, she changed her mind and named the puppy Proti. Why Proti? That's the combination of Pluto and Roti, Roti being the Malay word for bread. I must say, I quite like the name. Not a classy type, but affable :)



I went back home from Singapore when I first got to know Proti. She'd been at home for days and Big Bro was intending to send her back already. "Love given is going to be retracted?". Talking to and persuading Mama, I decided to keep her myself, which meant from then on, I would be committed to a life and an additional monetary burden.


Arrangement is like Papa and Ah Mah (grandma) helping to feed her during weekdays, I going back home during weekends to bathe and train her :) I hope that everything goes smooth.
