A little more about Mint

Hi, it's Cinnamon!

Today I will tell you a little more about my brother, Mint.

As all of you know, he is a tricolour Beagle just like me. He was born on January the 24th, so he is eight and a half weeks old now. His pedigree name is Kenalis Candyman. Yes, it's another food-related name, after Crystal-Blaise Prada's Cookie (Cookie) and Kenalis Butterscotch Dream (It's me Cinnamon)! What is interesting is that he'd had this name already when my humans picked him from the litter without knowing what his name was. He must have been destined to become our family!

I think Mint is a really smart pup, as he learned to sit on command within a couple of days after he came to our house. He has learned to lie down also, but he still can't do it without being guided by my Mum's hand.



Another thing about Mint that impressed my humans as well as me is that he didn't keep crying at night like both Cookie and I did for the first few days in our new home. My humans say that Cookie kept crying in a weak voice for the first three nights in his new home, while I kept crying loudly like an avian dinosaur.

Mint did cry a couple of times at night, but it was only when he did poo on his toilet training pad. (He never misses the toilet training pads when he does pee or poo in his puppy pen! He hasn't learned to go back to the pads to do his business when the puppy pen is open and he is free in the room though.)

Besides the toilet training pads, my humans also made a toilet area at a corner of the garden by laying bricks around the area and filling it with gravels. Actually the toilet area was originally made for me a few months ago, but I have never used it because I am not used to doing my business at the same spot all the time. So far, Mint has been using it, so it was not a wasted effort by my humans after all I think.

Another thing my humans are happy about Mint is that he never tries to escape from his puppy pen unlike me (As a puppy, I escaped from my puppy pen repeatedly. But, my humans don't know how I made it, because there was no gap in the fence). When Mint wants to get out, he does cry, but he gives up after a while and goes back to his bed in his crate quietly.



More importantly I have been enjoying playing with Mint, and I have got used to being nipped on my tummy. I don't know why, but sometimes I feel like I am actually his mum... He is a little sweet boy. I think I can become his good older sister.





So far so good! I am SO happy to have a great company like Mint!
