Finally another to-go place ticked yesterday!
I’ve always wanted to bring Cookie back to where I first met him to take a photo. Almost didn’t make it, as we were behind schedule but and insisted we do it 🥹
Back in 6 Nov 2013, Wednesday evening, I went to the pickup/drop off point at Pasir Ris MRT to view Cookie with my mom. I texted the ex family a couple of hours before and we managed to arrange a viewing instantly. A 10 mins meetup was all it takes because they simply said “if you want him, you can have him”. I remember this boy, 1Y4M old then was barking, pulling and lunging all the way at the people walking past. It really helped that I had no experience hence no expectations of dogs behaviour then 😂
Story short, we decided to take him home on 8 Nov, Friday instead so that I have the weekend to spend with him. I remember asking my mom many times what if they changed their mind, that they wanted to keep him or decided someone else is more suitable for him 😰 My worry was unnecessary as they didn’t even care if they should find someone suitable. It was more like a FCFS basis, and they couldn’t be bothered anymore after he was “taken”. Though I’m thankful they’re this irresponsible Otherwise I might not have him 😮💨
Unfortunately the exact pickup point I first met him is now gone as the development at the MRT station had progressed with the new mall in the last 13 years 😅 So we picked the closest looking sheltered walkway to take the photos 🥹
