Sweetie, the Cat-Loving, Dancing Toy Poodle
A Heartwarming Story of Love and Joy
Meet Sweetie, a two-year-old toy poodle who has brought immense joy and love into her owner’s life. With her cute face, soulful eyes, and soft fur, Sweetie charms everyone she meets.
A New Beginning
Anne Beatrice Lourdusamy was devastated when her beloved dog, Candy, passed away in September 2022. Candy was a beautiful Shih Tzu with a colorful personality, and cherished by all in the family. However, over time, Anne felt ready to welcome another pup into her life.
Finding Sweetie
Her search led her to a beautiful toy poodle puppy, slightly over three months old. The pint-sized pup had big, expressive eyes, and Anne was instantly smitten. “It was her eyes,” said Anne, looking at the pup’s angelic face, and named her “Sweetie.”
A Comforting Presence
Although Sweetie was quiet on her first night in her new home, it didn’t take long for her to warm up to her doting humans. Today, Sweetie is a beloved member of the family and the center of attraction. She loves to sleep on her owner’s lap, and even enjoys snoozing on her back with her legs up in the air.
Unique Greetings
When the family leaves home without her, Sweetie welcomes them back with a heartwarming act. She shakes her head sideways to tell them that she has been a good girl, to assure them that everything is fine, and she wasn’t up to any mischief. She also has another unique way of greeting her humans – she jumps and taps her hind legs together, looking like a ballet dancer.
Loving and Social
Sweetie loves people, other dogs, and even cats! Anne recently saw her with a cat, and they were communicating with each other. When she spots other dogs, she barks at them, inviting them to play with her. “Just like her name, she’s really sweet, and I have never seen her angry,” said Anne.
Outdoors and More
Sweetie enjoys exploring the outdoors with Anne, going for long walks in the park with other dogs. She’s also very particular about her food, and tends to get bored easily, especially since she’s developed a liking for chapati, bread, and biscuits, which her humans occasionally indulge her with.
Not Afraid of Anything
Don’t be fooled by her petite size, Sweetie is a brave canine who is not afraid of fireworks, storms, or thunder. However, she intensely dislikes trips to the veterinary clinic and the groomer! “Once, the veterinarian wanted to administer a vaccine, and she started shaking. The staff at the clinic said it looked like she was dancing!” said Anne with a laugh.
Conclusion
Sweetie has brought immense joy and happiness into Anne’s life, helping to lessen the pain of Candy’s passing. Indeed, just like her name, the pooch has brought “sweetness” where there was once grief. “Sweetie brings happiness and has brought our family even closer. She has changed our lives,” said Anne.
