Milo (Male Border Collie)
- was given by our friend on 30 May 08 as his owner has migrated to Australia
- Milo was 20kg when we adopted him, deemed to be overweight by the Vet
- His daily diet comprises fresh food like brocoli, carrots, hardboiled egg, sweetpotatoes, beef mixed with 1 serving cup of dried lamb food.
- Due to his borderline overweight, he is now fed once a day but with much water and some snacks during the day
- For hygiene purpose, Milo takes a good bath with dog's shampoo once a week and given his thick coat of fur, he has to be dried with a hair dryer lest he catches a cold
- Dogs need to be treated from flea infection so Milo has to be administered with a "Flea treatment ampoule" once a month
- Milo is a sheep dog who is capable of running 80km a day thus we either run or walk with him thrice a day at 7am, 6pm and 9.30pm. He also does his "big business" during his walk cos he knows he cannot "poo" at home
- Milo is a very friendly dog and everyone knows him in the neighbourhood as he socializes quite a bit
- Milo went for his first grooming today, was scared at first but was elated after his good shower, thorough cleaning of ears, cutting of nails and some trimming of his thick coat of fur
- Milo will soon visit the vet for sterilization
