Meet our new foster pooch! Her name is Bashu, a 6 years old Chinese Crested. She came from a breeder who has closed down because of illness. Here’s her profile page (only in Japanese at the moment).

We picked her up last Sunday at the adoption event in DOGSIGN in Jingumae. She came from Osaka with Kimchi, another Chinese Crested from the same breeder, both of them were very nervous that day. They stayed close together and were quite jumpy. I understood though, there were 2 playful huskies and one big dog playing fight the whole time!

Once got home, Bashu was very excited when entering the house. She checked every room and smelled everything. She whined and howled a couple of times in her first night, and sounded very sad. Maybe she missed her family.

For some reason, she really likes Sidra. I guess maybe because Sidra held her a lot at the adoption event. She followed Sidra everywhere and whined when Sidra went upstairs (she was afraid to climb the stairs). Yesterday Sidra went out for 30 minutes to go to his friend’s house, Bashu sat in front of the door the whole time whining and howling. I tried to console her and asked her to go with me but she just ignored me. It is very sad but also cute.

It is her third day now and she has started to settle down. She’s very healthy and playful. It seems that she was well cared by the breeder. We walked her twice a day and she’s always very excited. At home, Bashu always stays close to Sidra, sitting beside him when he plays game. I hope she will be okay next week when Sidra goes to 5 days summer camp!
