Story of this sweety Taro ChiHuaHua abandon by owner.

Hi all, My Name is Taro, i am a female long haired Chihuahua, i was dumped/abandon by my previous owner in a paper bag outside a lift lobby.
Biography
Hi All, My name is Taro, i am a long haired female Chihuahua, i know i don't look like one now, but give me some time, i will become the beautiful chihuahua soon. I was estimated by the Vet (Dr Vanessa) to be more then 10 years old.

How did i actually come about having a page on my own, i would like to share abit of a history of what happened. On 29th January 2013, a thursday, at about 5pm, my "owner" actually left took me out of the house, placed me in a plastic bag and onto a Samsung paper bag, didn't much do i know where i would be going, My so called "Owner" left me at a lift lobby in Bukit Panjang Gangsa Road block 170. My "Owner" didn't know that abandonment is a crime in Singapore, and yet my ":owner" left me there. Didn't do i know how to response and react to my "owner"'s action, all i could do was to just sit in the paper bag and awaits for my "owner" . No sign of them for a long time, i was so scare and i was silvering... suddenly i saw this lady with her daughter walking towards my direction, they noticed and saw me. i immediately stood up and wag my tail, what i heard from their conversation was "someone just dumped a dog at the lift lobby, and how could someone does that to a dog" The lady namely Shirlyn carried me out from the bag, she walked around the area trying to look for someone whom has lost me, but there were no sign of anyone.

Shirlyn took me back to her home and gave me a good shower, i suppose i didn't have a shower for the longest time, which was why Shirlyn actually washed me down for a couple of time. During that moment, she can't cope with another additional fur member back home, and didn't she know how to react to such incident, Shirlyn called Auntie Chirsline for help, when auntie Chrisline heard about me, she went shouting, : how could someone do such things to a dog, blar blar blar.." from that moment, she started to post what had happened to me on Facebook, (which was why i decided to get a Facebook for myself ;-) ).

Auntie Chrisline posted on help needed for me and caption on my photo was "Old blind dog was being dumped at Bukit Panjang, help needed for foster and adopter". All of a sudden, it hurts me so badly, i realized that i was being abandon by my "Owner", they don't want me anymore, and how could they do this to me? HOW COULD THEY? My heart broke down and i went into a depressed mode. As i was at Shirlyn's place, all i could do was to hide myself away and i didn't want to see anyone, i was very upset, My "owner doesn't want me because i m old? i am one eye blind? i was having real bad skin problems? i really look unpleasant? what is wrong with them, i have been with them for the longest time, and i really don't know what happened, they just cast me out and dumped me away. From this moment i accepted my fate, nobody wants me, nobody likes me, my life is all upside down. all i could do now is to wait, await for my "owner", but i know that they won't come back.

Auntie Chrisline started sending msg over to her friends, about what had happened to me, and one of her friend namely Mr D, she mentioned to him that her friend had found a chihuahua that was being abandon outside a lift lobby in Bukit panjang, and Auntie Chirsline share my picture on how i was being placed to Mr D, the very next moment, Mr D replied, " i will come and pick her up now". Auntie Chirsline couldn't believe it and was so happy that Mr D is willing to take me in, she informed Shirlyn and had arranged for Mr D to pick me up, after a short while, Mr D appeared and held me in his arms, our story goes on from here...........................................................

Ps: I just hope there is no more animal abuse nomatter in which country. This is really ridiculous .
