2011-04-18T09:49:00.001+08:00

I hate the weather these days...it's been raining every afternoon and the thunder scares me..mummy says the thunder makes me forget...u see, mummy tries to compensate during rainy weathers by teaching me something new in order to make up for not being able to take me out for walkies...but everytime it thunders, I seem to 'take a step back' from what I've learnt instead of 'taking a step forward'...oh I miss my walkies mummy *pout*

Mummy wanted to blog about our k9 kampus outing that day and about today's dog swim...but smth far more impt came up....something with far more urgency than photos of us having fun....

Uncle Derrick who helps out at the shelter has an urgent plea for us to spread the word about spaying and neutering ur fur-babies.... and those at the shelter

here's his msg to all: "pls do let me know if anyone wants to chip in for spaying and neutering strays.. we have many still running around the streets... like the ones i m trying to get.. the mummy dogs of my 17 puppies.. we can change their life.."

won't be posting the pictures here as it is not for those with weak hearts
pls visit uncle Derrick's link:

Crazy mum of mine had a sudden urge to take me jogging. ME. sheeesh.

This is my "are u nuts?!!" look :

and here i am after the run...mum said she's never seen my tongue hang this far out before (duh...im supposed to be royalty...not running like a loonatick, mum) :

Now i wonder why she had to keep sticking the camera into my face while i was trying to recover from the shock of the run...*pfft*
i mean, can't u tell how exhausted i was?!

with drool,
Kayla

2009-06-05T20:18:00.003+08:00

Mummy went down to the shelter to help uncle Derrick after they had rescued 17 mongrel pups, which were estimated to be about a month old!

Mummy said one of the two litters look exactly like lab puppies and she started snappping photos...here's her fav shot:

It's called Project Puppy Kindergarten...its really disheartening to see such a huge number of strays left behind by the companies when they moved out of their sites...when they were in operation, they took in these strays to help guard their site...now that they've evacuated, these dogs were all left behind, helpless and not knowing that their lives will be coming to an end when AVA comes by in the weeks to come. The feeders and shelter volunteers are trying their best to rescue as many as they can. But time is running out and they are just too many of them...

There was another litter, slightly older than this batch...we didn't manage to catch any that night...it was just too dark...hopefully they can be rescued too...and soon....and there are also the adults...they're too wary us...will there be enough time?

2009-05-18T17:05:00.002+08:00

Mummy hasn't been to the library in years cuz the books are always old and the only books they have on dogs are the not the ones she's looking for....however, the library near our place has been renovated and mummy decided to visit the library to "kill time"...lo and behold, to her delight, she found an entire new collection of dog books! yes, including books from dogwise and the books that she borrowed from Romeo!! hoorays!! I spy..a book about raw feeding...so i guess mummy's gonna start feeding me more varieties than what she's giving me now...(i just hope she'll stop trying to feed me those smelly things called pig's liver)...and i saw 3 books on dog training...i think mummy's trying to make me a personal slave or something...yikes!

one (extremely) happy girl

2009-05-17T11:47:00.003+08:00

Asking for tummy rubs

Look at her smile~

2009-05-16T17:13:00.008+08:00

Mummy finally finished her eggzams and kept her promise of "making it up to me" by taking me to the pool this morning to swim with charming Romeo! of course, i spent more time running around the pool herding everyone in it and running away from my evil mum who kept making me do laps...tee hee...clever me huh?

not many photos today cuz i looked unglamourous (like a drowning wet rat said mummy and michelle) but there was this totally adorable dally 4 mth old puppy that had one brown and one blue eye! how beautiful is that?!

And here's Romeo in his favourite spot just soaking in the water...teehee

and a short video on the dally learning how to swim

and then i had to put up with being tortured in the bathroom whilst mummy scrubs me down (and dries my fur for the next 2 hrs!) sheesh...as if i didn't get enough water for today already!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kayla is totally pooped out after her tiny bit of splashing around...that slacker princess...pfft. but she's definitely darn happy! she's been doing sudden sprints around the house...something she's NEVER done before...haha...and she's totally knocked out now...I myself knocked out after all that back breaking activities of bathing and drying her. Lets go again soon Romeo!!

2009-05-03T11:49:00.004+08:00

my deepest condolences Malz...

Rest in peace my dearest Sabre...u are loved and will always be remembered...

Happy barkday Romeo!

2009-03-23T21:45:00.002+08:00

Mummy was in a frenzy yesterday as she dashed around like a loony muttering "overslept overslept"...i didn't know what was going on til she grabbed my collar and leash!! We both hurried down where Pirate and his family were waiting and they gave us a lift to Romeo's 1st bday pawty!!

The pawty was awesome and i met many friends (old and new alike)! Unforunately Mummy has not replaced her digicam's faulty charger so no peektures that i can proudly display :(

The food was awesome!! There was lots of space for me to run around! best of all, i got loads of treats from everyone!! i hope u love ur prezzie Romeo!! Thanks for the lovely charm...mummy was just browing the web looking for charms that day!

pooch-sitting

2009-03-23T20:50:00.007+08:00

Mummy spent one of her weekends pooch-sitting her friend's female yorkies...they were such tiny creatures!!

This is Alexis, 7 mths old....she's hyperactive, loves chasing and enticing me to play...and can't stop bugging me! but i adore her cuz she keeps me company when Mummy went out for dinner that nite :)

And this is Alfie, 7 yrs old...the teeniest Diva in the world....

Alfie does not play with us cuz she does not want to mess her silky fur

This is Alexis peeping at us before she went into a deep sleep...we had chased each other before Mummy took this shot and Alexis was tired out before i even warmed myself up...sigh

And then Alexis decided that Alfie's bed looked more cosy so she switched beds...

awww....

that's me of course!

Alexis in the midst of winking! and there's Alfie behind. :)

Oh here's a video of Alexis and myself..Mummy decided to record us so that she could observe our body language especially the "play-bow".
p.s: the barks and growls were from Alexis

2009-03-05T14:06:00.002+08:00

Mummy would like to thank Jazz and Shanice who introduced her to the clicker and for teaching her how to use it.

And also special thanks to Michelle and Maureen for giving her encouragement, tips and countless advice.

Thanks Romeo and Michelle for lending mummy ur books and making treats for me :)

....thanks to all of you, im getting nice treats everyday *arf*

Mummy says although im a slow learner, i've improved a lot! She now makes me "work" for everything....im not sure if i should grumble for being made to work or to be happy cuz i get such yummie treats. hmm....

Today, we're doing "watch me". Off to practise!

A PUPPY MILL PUPPY’S STORY

2009-02-15T01:34:00.001+08:00

I don’t remember much of the place where I was born. It was cramped and dark, and we were never played with by the Humans. I remember Mom and her soft fur, but she was often sick, and very thin. She had hardly any milk for me and my brothers and sisters. I remember many of them dying, and I missed them so.

I remember the day I was taken from Mom. I was so sad and scared, my milk teeth had only just come in, and I really should have been with Mom still, but she was so sick, and the Humans kept saying that they wanted their money and were sick of the “mess” that me and my sister made.

So we were crated up and taken to a strange place. Just the two of us. We huddled together and were scared, still no Human hands came to pet or love us. So many sights and sounds and smells! We are in a store where there are many different animals! Some that squawk! Some that meow! Some that peep! My sister and I are jammed into a small cage. I hear other puppies here. I see Humans look at me through the glass. I like the “little humans”, the kids. They look so sweet, and fun, like they would play with me! All day we stay in the small cage, sometimes mean people will hit the glass and frighten us, every once in a while we are taken out to be held or shown to humans. Some are gentle, some hurt us, we always hear “Aw they are so cute! I want one!” but we never get to go with any of them.

My sister died last night, when the store was dark. I lay my head on her soft fur and felt the life leave her small thin body. I had heard them say she was sick, and that I should be sold at a “discount price” so that I would quickly leave the store. I think my soft whine was the only one that mourned for her as her body was taken out of the cage in the morning and dumped.

Today, a family came and bought me! Oh happy day! They are a nice family, they really, really wanted me! They had bought a dish and food and the little girl held me so tenderly in her arms. I love her so much! The mom and dad say what a sweet and good puppy I am! I am named Angel. I love to lick my new Humans! The family takes such good care of me, they are loving and tender and sweet. They gently teach me right and wrong, give me good food, and lots of love! I want only to please these wonderful people! I love the little girl and I enjoy running and playing with her.

Today I went to the veterinarian. It was a strange place and I was frightened. I got some shots, but my best friend the little girl held me softly and said it would be okay. So I relaxed. The vet must have said sad words to my beloved family, because they looked awfully sad. I heard Severe Hip Dysplasia, and something about my heart… I heard the vet say something about back yard breeders and my parents not being tested. I know not what any of that means, just that it hurts me to see my family so sad. But they still love me, and I still love them very much!

I am six months old now. Where most other puppies are robust and rowdy, it hurts me terribly just to move. The pain never lets up. It hurts to run and play with my beloved little girl, and I find it hard to breathe. I keep trying my best to be the strong pup I know I am supposed to be, but it is so hard. It breaks my heart to see the little girl so sad, and to hear the Mom and Dad talk about it might now be “the time.” Several times I have went to that veterinarians place, and the news is never good. Always talk about Congenital Problems. I just want to feel the warm sunshine and run, and play and nuzzle with my family.

Last night was the worst. Pain has been my constant companion now, it hurts even to get up and get a drink. I try to get up but can only whine in pain. I am taken in the car one last time. Everyone is so sad, and I don’t know why. Have I been bad? I try to be good and loving-what have I done wrong? Oh if only this pain would be gone! If only I could soothe the tears of the little girl. I reach out my muzzle to lick her hand, but can only whine in pain.

The veterinarian’s table is so cold. I am so frightened. The Humans all hug and love me.They cry into my soft fur. I can feel their love and sadness. I manage to lick softly their hands. Even the vet doesn’t seem so scary today. He is gentle and I sense some kind of relief for my pain. The little girl holds me softly and I thank her, for giving me all her love. I feel a soft pinch in my foreleg. The pain is beginning to lift, I am beginning to feel a peace descend upon me. I can now softly lick her hand.

My vision is becoming dreamlike now, and I see my Mother and my brothers and sisters, in a far off green place. They tell me there is no pain there, only peace and happiness. I tell the family goodbye in the only way I know how-a soft wag of my tail and a nuzzle of my nose. I had hoped to spend many, many moons with them, but it was not meant to be. “You see,” said the veterinarian, “Pet shop puppies do not come from ethical breeders.” The pain ends now, and I know it will be many years until I see my beloved family again. If only things could have been different.

(This story may be published or reprinted in the hopes that it will stop unethical breeders and those who breed only for money and not for the betterment of the breed)

Awareness

2009-02-10T23:02:00.005+08:00

If a million and one questions has ever bugged you before about why i imported Kayla on my very own, spent so much time reading and researching before i got her, when i could have simply "bought her from a pet store", this post is for YOU. It is very hard to explain with purely words,without any visual aid or "evidence" to those who are not into dogs as we dog-lovers are.

Apart from reasons such as wanting a dog with good temperament, one that is well-socialised (or what layman pple called "well brought up", or one that fulfills the breed standard requirements to a T, the utmost important factor is - to "kill" the existence of puppy mills. What are pupply mills you ask?

Click here to read about the terrible plight of dogs and how they're treated all their lives, just so that PROFITS can be made out of them.

This link can also be found on my side bar, along with other videos on the topic by celebrities such as Charlize Theron and Oprah Winfrey. However, i caution viewers to watch the videos at their own disgression, as the dogs thrive in horrible living conditions.

I hope that this would be passed on by word of mouth, so that more people can be educated on the on-goings of such cruelty and I'm glad that such a project has been taken on...its about time someone did something about it!! thanks dead_cockroach for having the courage to start something like this.

Tag, you're it!

2009-02-09T15:11:00.004+08:00

We've been tagged by Taylor! http://indubitablytosh.com/2009/02/fifth-file-meme/

I have to open a document or file folder, click on the fifth folder and then the fifth photo. Then I have to post the photo and describe it and tag 5 others!

Unfortunately, Mummy got a new comp as her old one died on her and she does not have that many folders to open - as yet. So, Mummy's gonna post photos which her bestie took of Moi at the park on the last day of January. Mummy's bestie (let's call her Ashley) is freaking cool cuz she's not supposed to touch the saliva of dogs and when a dog is wet and stuff...but she's different from the "others"....she does not shriek at the sight of me and ran helter skelter across the courtyard. She just makes sure i don't touch her with my wet nose or lick her and she's fine with having me around. Mummy and Ashley even takes me jogging with them... how cool is that? She even offered to take pictures of me with her brand new dslr!! Mummy, of course couldn't say no to that!

Ashley says the blue bag spoils the picture...Mummy calls it artistic *hmm*

Ashleys' fav shot!

This is Mummy's fav photo!

That's Mummys' bestie~!

Kayla's first swim

2009-01-22T16:21:00.010+08:00

Having not met Pirate for a really long time, both Kayla and I were shocked when we met him yesterday. Boy, has he grown!! The skinny sheltie is gone! Pirate is now much bigger and fluffier than Kayla and he's only 10 mths old! Kayla looks like a puppy next to him.

Anyhow, we went to Club4paws at 12pm only to be told that the pool was closed from 1130am-4pm. Shelving off our plans for a swim, we brought the furkids to the park instead.

And at 4pm....we brought them for a swim!

2009-01-12T16:02:00.005+08:00

I knew something was amiss when mummy came home on Sat evening - with Chopper dashing into our house like a mad lunatic ! You see, Chopper hardly ever comes over. And i was right. Off, we headed to the park to meet Echo.

Rant

2009-01-10T20:40:00.002+08:00

It happened again. For the 3rd time. THIRD time!!! **#$@%
THE pomeranian that charged toward Kayla on her second day in Singapore and scared the "already scared"Kayla who was trying hard to adapt to an entirely new environment and family charged at us again last night, growling and barking aggressively. It was so dark i could only hear the growling and braking get louder, but i could not see any dog near me. I just swooped down and picked Kayla up as fast as i could and only then, did i see THE pomeranian running toward us from the exercise corner. The moment i picked Kayla up, the dog stopped in the tracks and did not come any nearer. What would have happened if i didn't pick Kayla up? Would it have attacked?

The "pomegranate" went back to its owner after that and i placed Kayla back down. I was pissed but decided to let the matter go as it was a grandma who had brought the dog down. Once again, it charged toward us. HELLO? Didn't the owner have any sense to leash her dog after it charged at us? NO. All she did was "lai lai...mummy zai na pian" (come, come, mummy is at the other side)...like HUH? Your dog is NOT responding to ur calls and u're not making ANY effort to come pick it up?? U're gonna let it continue charging at my dog?? I picked Kayla up again and THIS time, I stomped toward them. I was sick of this. YOU know fully well that u're dog is not well socialised and YOU have the cheek to off leash it? YOU know fully well that u have NO command and control over your dog and u have the audacity to stand there and shout for it and not leash it after it ran back to u when i picked my dog up?

I asked the grandma to leash her dog and she could happily tell me that she has a leash and it was at home. AT HOME!! hello? I told her to leash her dog immediately and she said "Its at night and we're only here to play"....oh...so there's a new rule saying that dogs only need to be leashed in the day...hmmm i wonder why AVA did not inform ME of that new ruling. tt's odd.
I asked her if she saw the way her dog was growling and charging toward us and it was dangerous for other dog owners in the vicinity. Her reply : "No la, my dog was scared(ya right). He doesn't bite" I tried explaining that he was growling and charging toward us and what if somethign were to happen. Same reply from her. There was absolutely no sense in trying to reason with her. None whatsoever. I had reached my boiling point. And repeated what i said in a louder tone. Because of irresponsible owners like THESE who are so nonchalent and inconsiderate that other dog owners like us have to suffer!!! Because of pple like THESE, other dogs get bitten and killed, other people get attacked. Like ONLYsiberians' Kerry blue terrier that was attacked that other day. Like the JRT who was a civil defence volunteer search and rescue dog who LOST ITS LIFE due to its negligant owner!!! When will THESE idiots wake up?!!! *^&@#$

Know what the best part is? THE granddaughter came down and started shouting at me, saying she could hear EVERYTHING from the 6th floor. Well, if u could hear EVERTHING where is ur apology for not leashing your dog? She was pissed that i was "rude" to her grandmother. I merely raised my voice. Maybe i was wrong to do so.

But the granddaughter had the cheek to retort "WE both have different breeds because they are different. My dog was just territorial. Did my dog bite your dog or not? Never right?!!!"

Hmm. I didn't know Poms were aggressive by nature. I do know however, that it was probably the "different" way of upbringing that would have made him behave so and NOT his breed type.
Any readers know if dogs will get territorial outside their home? i've never heard of this as yet.

me:" do u know what the word accident means?" It's called an accident for a reason. Do u wanna wait til something happens before u will take action and leash your dog? And when something does happen, are u able to compensate me? i know u CAN but u're not ABLE to. ( i wasn't referring to monetary compensation, more of emotionally etc")

She challenged me saying: " COME LA!! PUT YOUR DOG DOWN SEE WHETHER MY DOG WILL BITE!!"

?? Is she retarded or what? i have absolutely no idea. Dear readers, at this point i believe there is absolutely no point in reasoning with goners like these.

Sorry i just had to rant and let it all out. Now, let me try to strive for some inner peace. Ohmmmm.

Merry x'mas!!

we have a visitor...!!

2008-11-19T12:27:00.003+08:00

isn't she the sweetest thing? Her name's Miki and she's about 3-4 months old. she's really adorable and she's staying over im helping my friend to paper train Miki...but her whining and barking scares Kayla!! its really loud!! Kayla gets really scared when Miki's in the playpen and when she starts whining Kayla runs off...but after while she got used to it and she would go over to sayang Miki when her whining gets too loud and Miki will quieten down...hahaha

Miki is tiny but she's a real bully...poor Kayla...once in a while though, Kayla will show her who's boss and she'll start chasing Miki around...and then Miki will chase her back...hahhaa....well, i've got to go keep an eye on that twit now...toodles!!

so after the long tiring day at the dog show, (i wonder why its so tiring for kayla when i was the one lugging around a heavy haversack with all HER items in it. and i forgot to bring my own stuff)
we headed down to Earth Cafe for dinner for the humans...weird huh? its a DOG cafe and the humans ate while all we canines got was sky juice. hmph.

Alfie, fell asleep on Gen's lap

pweety me

Galgal with Dewei korkor

in Gen's car

5 seconds after this pic, all dogs were sound asleep!

at earth cafe at last:

as usual, Shyla hides under the table and makes herself comfy by sitting on Gen's shoes.

a friend comes to say hi

Alfie woke up when she smelled eggs. that's right. eggs. she loves eggs.

That's all folks! mummy said i made her very broke that day. now, i wonder what that means.

Fraser!! charming! and of course Sujun...tee hee

This was a very rare moment where Kayla did not back off when a dog came to smell her so i just let her be

They even kissed!!

After they were happily smooching for sometime, the BC's owner asked what my dog's name was and i found it weird so i just gave her the answer with a very puzzled expression. And guess what? the BC's Tristan!!! What a coincidence!! He's grown realy big and handsome now - just look at his face!! Full of expression and he's really calm too!!

He's keeps giving me his paws, alternating btw left and right...cuteness!!!

Awww. i love him man.

This is Tristan's new playmate.

Happy barkday Coco and Prince!!

2008-10-27T19:00:00.002+08:00

We were all invited to Pet movers by Jazz to celebrate Coco and Princes' barkdays....and as usual, i spent the night b4 at Choppers' place and we did what we loved to do best : keep the humans awake all night! what could possibly be more fun than that right?!!

So, bright and so-darn early we got woken up and went down to flag a cab...as usual,
we got reejected by about 5 times b4 we found one that wanted to ferry us to the party and the journey was just too long...

Chopper anticipating....where are we going dad?

Oh i dread long car rides...

We've stopped!! we're here?!!

oh, mummy said we've stopped cuz the traffic lights turned red. DARN.

and Finally: we're here!!!

Birthday girl, Coco

wad's Fraser and Diva lookin at, u wonder?

they're watching me eat the agility cake!! its my first time having a cake and it rawks!

who's this? hey Taylor!!

Taylor smiling for his shot :)

Mambo : manja and totally adorable

Fraser takes a bite from Edmund. Fraser loves the cake, but doesn't like edmund. And he can't decide whether or not to take the cake. He was soooo wary while coming toward us but i guess the smell of the cake made him give in and take the risk. wahaha

Ax is finally here! Mambo gives Ax a welcome sniff.

This is my lookalike, Diva. She's lost a lot of fur after birth and now looks like those size 0 models who strut down the runways. Still cute and lovely, like me! Look how she looks eagerly at our cake...

Daddy secretly gives her a piece...yummy right?

This is one of Eric's sheltie who keeps sticking to him...haha

Mambo looking out for dogs that might disturb him

And im watching Mambo

Fraser: darn good looking

wait, what's he doing?

looks like he found a good spot...

ah! satisfaction! look at Mambo grinning in the back!

here's Ax

He loves following Diva and i around...

Ax following me....
Diva, after running away from Ax

Ax trying to find us

Is this Natasha?

I'm hiding among the humans

Looks like Ax found Diva

Fraser watching Ax...hey that's my wifey!!
Mebo and Diva...this is the only shot i got of Mebo

Is this Cardules?

I love hiding among the humid beings

It was a super hot ride home. The cab driver was afraid of "doggy odour" so he wound down the windows for the entire journey. Hot as h*ll.

See how much Chopper was panting?

Coco in her birthday frock. Happy birthday and thanks for inviting us!!!

Kayla turns one today!!!

2008-10-22T12:29:00.000+08:00

happy barkday!!

Road trip part 2

2008-10-12T11:44:00.007+08:00

What's not to like about Dewei korkor? i got kissed, cuddled and coos from him while mummy got her bangs trimmed by Dewei's mummy...heh heh...ahhh...this is life...

Kor kor tried to experiment to see what i would look like when i bare my teeth...i think i look more spastic than fierce...anyhoo, mummy said im too *sweet* to be fierce...-gleams-
take one:

Take two:

Finally :

i love this shot!

What is gal looking at? Dewei Kor kor was singing!! and he has a great voice!!

Can we go there again soon??

road trip!

2008-10-10T11:30:00.000+08:00

hee...see my face...make a guess why im so happy....

cuz i heard mummy say we're going to Dewei korkor's house!! In case u forgot, Dewei's the one who found an abandoned silky-mix who is 80% blind and he adopted her!! bless his heart!

Poor Choppy

2008-10-05T17:30:00.005+08:00

Windcharm Iwan Iwan Iwan aka Chopper bit his tail and behind til it had some pus coming out!! After a hectic night at work, mummy rushed home, only to rush out the door again. Where to, u ask? To get Chopper to Dr Kenneth of course!!!

Since it was Hari Raya and Dr Kenneth was gonna close at 2pm tt day, and Chopper's daddy was at work, mummy had to rush to get a cab to get from our cosy kennel in cck, to woodlands to pick Chopper up. And then, rush to yishun to where Dr Kenneth is. Unfortunately she had a hard time getting a cab cuz it was a public holiday...what more a cab that will take in a dog *rolls eyes*

Anyhoo, after all the hoo ha and all, Dr kenneth's assistant shaved off (yikes!) Chopper's fur around his butt and tail...he looked ridiculous with two circles of furless patch around his arse and a rat-like naked tail!

With the e-collar on, Chopper was so scared that he stayed in ONE position without a single twitch for one whole hour!!

So mummy decided to end his torture and took off his e-collar. Chopper was so exhausted he plopped straight onto the floor and panted like it was the biggest relief of his life!

Surprisingly Chopper was actually a little well behaved at my place as compared to at his own place...he's a total DEVIL at home!! and it was totally crazy to bring both dogs to walk at the same time so i had to do it one-at-a-time...salute to those who keep more than one dog at home!! esp to Sujun and Jazz...

Hope Chopper recovers soon!!

Kayla at 10mths old

2008-09-15T12:05:00.004+08:00

are we there yet?

Now this is my FAVOURITE shot!!

At cck park, after being worn out by Pirate

Now THIS is the very energetic Pirate

*pant pant* Pirate pls let me rest first

Pirate being cheeky

Kayla looking out for danger

here's a vid of Pirate and Kayla playing, enjoy :)

In Loving Memory...

2008-08-31T12:50:00.002+08:00

Dear Raymond,
u will always be remembered.
Rest in peace.

Drowsy and woozy

2008-08-26T12:43:00.003+08:00

I got sent off to Dr Kenneth early yesterday morning and i can't remember much of what happened after that...i only know that im constantly woozy and sleepy all the time and i have no energy to walk much...and i have this ugly looking line down my belly which mummy calls stitches...doesn't hurt at all but its rather itchy...i've been threatened with the Elizabethan collar if i ever lick it again...no way am i putting on that hideous thing....and i absolutely refuse to allow mummy to post pictures of me wearing THAT thing on...

anyway, im feeling slightly better today and managed to finish my breakfast...other that that, im still very drowsy...ZZzzz

Oh no...i just discovered im quite bald underneath due to my op...sob...not only have i lost some beautiful fur, i now have a hideous looking red line with blue thread down my belly...

here's a pic of Dewei's girl whom mummy visited that day...very intelligent little girl who was abandoned and partially blind...mummy's super pissed with the irresponsible owners...

Hi Friends!!

2008-08-17T14:35:00.007+08:00

Mummy was able to (miraculously) turn on the comp so im finally able to update!!
Was supposed to go to the beach last weekend with Pirate but it rained :(
and we can't make it this wk...grrr....i've nv tried my paws at swimming b4!! I know lucky Tristan the Border Collie gets to go once in awhile...sob....

Anyhow, the next sheltie gathering is on 6th Sept and mummy has made the decision to go no matter what, rain or shine. Haha...she hopes Fraser and gang will be there too but lovely Diva (my lookalike) has just had babies so she can't go for outings for the time being...

Oh ya! Mummy used the furminator on me....look!!

Mummy's youngest sister Jolyn calls this the Dust-Bunny...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mummy bought me a toy rope to chew on the other day and within less than an hr, this was the tragic outcome for mr ropey

By the next day, My Rope-y was in two pieces and i suspect that mummy put Mr Ropey into the thing that hew-mens call the dustbin...i can't find it anymore!!! Can i have more chew rope mommy?

Oh here are two cute lil Chihuahuas i met at the K9 family day event

*No animals were harmed during the furmination process and/or while posting this blog entry

ARGH!!!!

2008-08-09T15:04:00.000+08:00

we missed the sheltie gathering....sob....

With deepest condolences...

2008-07-23T22:51:00.002+08:00

let us bow our heads and tuck our tails for one minute of silence to honour mummy's gd friends' Bichon named ah Din who has crossed over the rainbow bridgethis evening. May his soul rest in peace and enjoy his days in Doggie Paradise. Amen.

Apologies for the lack of updates...mum told me the com-pew-ter is going looney...

rawhide ball

2008-07-02T14:05:00.004+08:00

mum has a weird habit of sticking her camera into my face to take photos and videos or whatnot. Here's one from the other day when i was given my rawhide ball.

look mum, Choppers' bullying me again

2008-06-24T21:48:00.004+08:00

im finally home...

2008-06-23T14:57:00.004+08:00

...was over at Chopper's during the weekend where mum and dad brought
chopper and I for many walks and to the big big green place (the humid beings call it a field) for
off-leash runs....as u know, our human pets are not allowed to off leash us furkids anywhere in Sunny ol Singapore...pooh! those stinky laws...

Chopper had loads of fun (and scoldings) for dunking his furryself into those muddy puddles and lapping it all up...eww gross....i would never ever get my dainty paws into those brown icky things u call puddles...I have to agree with Dad that Chopper looked like some mongrel after that...he was all brown and smelly and *blech*

Well i'm still pooped out from the hectic weekend, plus, mum brought me to the nearby park this morning so i guess its back to den for me....ZZzzZZzz

2008-06-22T14:55:00.001+08:00

Happy 8th month Kayla baby :)
Mummy loves u

kong ball no. 2

2008-06-19T18:26:00.004+08:00

and because Kayla complained abt kong ball no 1 in the earlier post...
Chopper "inherited" it and i bought kong ball no 2 for Kayla...
and this time she found it a little more challenging...

2008-06-16T09:39:00.018+08:00

Pictures of yesterday's outing, thanks to xiao pang's owner :

Cck Park once again...

2008-06-15T21:24:00.002+08:00

...Not that im complaining...i enjoyed it!! and thanks to Pirate, Mum saw me run for the very first time!! haha...i'm FAST!! and i saw the overjoyed look on mum's face while she exclaimed " i never thought my Kayla could run!!" (now, mum what did u mean by that?)

Pirate loves to "herd" me...while Pang the Schnauzer loves to follow Echo (also a schnauzer)...mummy wonders : "do dogs like sticking to their 'own kind'?"

Mum remembered to take out her cam to take pictures today, but then she forgot to charge her batteries!! mummy, are u always such a goofball?

Im gonna pray that mummy takes me to see Mambo and company and Pirate and company soon...i better be extra well-behaved this coming week!! tee-hee...

the twits come out to play

2008-06-15T11:49:00.002+08:00

Mummy brought us, the 2 twits, to Petmovers dog run at pasir ris yesterday...met many many shelties like Mambo, Diva, Mebo and Cuddles....and a few others whose names i do not know of...
it was great fun!! Met Daddy's O.C with his Skippy and his schnauzer but i was contented being on my own and hanging around the other shelties...the other dogs there were a bit too rough or playful for my liking...i hope Mum and Dad will bring me there again soon...I definitely love Diva cuz not only does she look like me, but her character and mine are so similar...Even Mummy and Diva's mummy can't tell us spart from our front view...haha...Mummy wishes i was more playful like Mambo or Mebo though...don't be silly mummy...female shelties like us are always graceful and don't like messing up our fur...

silly mummy remembered to bring her camera but forgot to take any pictures...tsk tsk...
Hope to meet u all again soon :)

gonna meet Pirate again today in the evening...wee!!

feed me...

2008-06-11T19:58:00.002+08:00

Mum read somewhere that us dogs have to be both physically and mentally stimulated in order for us to be "balanced" and to prevent unwanted behavior and thus she decided to get me a kong ball...

kong ball no 1 was wayyyy too easy peasy for me....take a look!

Due to my smallie little muzzle, all i have to do is stick my tongue in and i can get all my kibbles out...mentally stimulating? my paws!! haha...neh neh neh...stupid humid beings...

what a tiring day!

2008-06-08T21:04:00.010+08:00

Like i mentioned in the previous post, both bf and i hardly slept at all the whole night and woke up at 7+ feeling like complete moronic zombies...

Anyhow, we brought Kayla and Chopper for a long walk, lazed around trying so hard not to fall asleep, had breakfast and then headed over to AAVC to see Dr. Kenneth for Kayla's review (for her cough which lasted a wk or so) and also for her additional vaccination. After which, we brought them, together with Anthony's Echo (schnauzer) to CCK Park to meet a 4 mth old tricoloured shetland named Pirate. Pirate's super cuteee!! well i shall let the pictures do the talking.

Pirate and Chopper taking time-out

Pirate with Kayla

when kayla met chopper

2008-06-08T14:24:00.007+08:00

kayla met chopper, aka the bf's dog, for the first time yesterday...
both of them are world's apart...in other words...extreme opposites...

on one hand, we have kayla - dainty, wary, sweet, gentle, and she dislikes any rough play or handling...
on the other hand, we have chopper - feisty, friendly, hyperactive, loves to play rough...

so when they both met, it was like the heavens collided...chopper kept wanting to lick her mouth and tried a couple of times to hump her...of course dear little kayla didn't like it one bit and she tried to show him but snapping her muzzle to make the "chomp chomp" noise...and he doesn't get the hint! so imagine how stressed we were the whole night!! we were so worried that one or the other would get bitten...however once they were out of the house, they completely ignored each other!! talk about looney bins!! haha...

i was conned...

2008-06-05T23:43:00.003+08:00

...into thinking that since she was so well behaved i could safely leave her alone at home...
when i came back this was the sight tt greeted me...

well that belongs to my youngest sis, Jolyn...and i was told tt she cried buckets when she saw her shoes...guess its my responsibility to get her a new pair, that poor girl...

well but i have to admit that Kayla is very well behaved for her age and i am very impressed!! I certainly have to thank Mrs Carol for bringing her up so well...

i've had Kayla for exactly 14 days now and I've only heard her bark once, which was yesterday, at the shredding machine...haha...after which, she gave me this "im feelin guilty-for-barking" look on her face...awwww....

i love her to bits!!!

potential model perhaps?

2008-06-04T21:10:00.004+08:00

look! she even poses while falling asleep!!

love!!

2008-06-04T19:59:00.003+08:00

prancing princess

2008-05-30T11:28:00.003+08:00

yes...affectionately known as princess due to her dainty and endearing personality...

taken on her 6th day at home

2008-05-30T11:18:00.004+08:00

sweet little girl

2008-05-24T09:08:00.007+08:00

Its now her 3rd day at home!! she's such a dainty little girl and she likes lying around and carrying toys in her mouth.
she's so princess-like. i like!!!

when i took her for a walk on her first day, she got scared by the coconut lying in the middle of the grass patch...reason being?she's never seen a coconut before!! haha!!

brought her for a little walk this morning and i noticed that she doesn't like walking over drains..even those that are fully covered...she'll walk around it instead of over it..haha... not easy to get pictures of her though...i don't think she fancies having her pictures taken that much except for once in awhile...

Here she is at 7 months of age...

Coming soon...literally...

2008-05-15T20:47:00.000+08:00

This is me at 8 wks old

Right profile at 5.5mths old

Oh dearie me, i can't wait for her to arrive!!!
Thank you Mrs Carol for letting me have her :)
