More sad news

Mummy had been busy and that means we do not have much chance to write on our blog. However, today is different. We are allowed to write about how we misses Ricky. I met Ricky once when I was at uncle S’s shop. Before that, only Bisou met him when he was at Aunt K’s shelter. Ricky was found by Aunt K (another aunt K). Ricky’s owner isn’t bother about him and only gave him some crackers as meals in a bowl that some cockroaches crawl. Aunt K had kept a close eye on Ricky to make sure he is not treated badly. To her, neglect is also a form of abuse. Ricky wasn’t taken care of and had matt all over his body. He was pretty scrawny then.

 

It went on for awhile until Aunt K couldn’t take it anymore and approached Ricky’s owner to ask if he want to give up Ricky since he isn’t interested to take care of Ricky. That is how eventually Ricky ended up with us. Aunt K couldn’t keep him at home for a long time and eventually Ricky went to stay at Aunt K’s shelter. There he charmed all the volunteers and even the volunteer next door. Yes, the other volunteer next door was uncle S. Uncle S grew so fond of Ricky that he decided to adopt Ricky. Ricky is very fortunate to have uncle S take care of him until recently, on 10^th Nov 2009, Ricky had gone to the rainbow bridge due to old age.

 

We will all miss him.

Chinese New Year, me and my Ang Bao

Mummy had been so busy

Oh my, have not notice that it has been so long since we last visit our blog or even to update it.

A quick update on porsche makeover

I'm going to have a makeover

I will be going for a makeover. Mummy had no time to manage my long coat...*sniff*
Gran and aunt has protest and against my to be makeover. But no choice, it takes up a lot of time to brush me daily, bath and blow dry on wkends. Mummy had something very important to do. It is very bad time now she tells me. She need to work extra hard to be able to continue to provide for us. I am a big gal now, have to be more understanding.

She had showed me the poster of how my makeover would most likely be... I am worried how it will turn out. Mummy promise me that it will be for awhile and once she had completed her studies, she will let me keep my long flowy hair again.

I just want to tell mummy that I love you and I will be a understanding and good girl. I will get use to the new haircut soon. Godma promise to take me swimming when I have my short coat. It's a win win situation :) Let's do it.

Hartz Victims . Org

Mummy realised the absorption of this flea and tick drop was kind of slow or it is too oily.  Our back is still soaking wet this morning and she had to use tissue to dab a whole lot off us.  She just didn’t feel right about this product and is kinda worry.  We will both relate what happen today. Mummy google for more info on Hartz products today and found this website HartzVictims.org  as well as some other reviews regarding this product.

 

When mummy read about one dog had reaction 3 weeks after the application which may or may not be from this product but it is enough to freak mummy out this time.  She had to get my 2 cousins to come fetch us from home to go to grandma and to monitor if there is any adverse reaction from us.  By early afternoon, mummy just couldn’t sit and wait till evening to check if we are alright.  She called home to get my 2 cousins to rinse us thoroughly hoping this will prevent more penetration of this flea & tick drop.

 

Since not much of this info is available here in Singapore.  We hope that the above websites serve some info for those who want to check.  Keeping our paws cross that we will be fine.

 

Nasty Tick hitch a ride and fed on Porsche

My cousin JY found a tick on me and manage to get it off me with a tweezer.  She got grandma to keep the tick to confirm with mummy when she is home.  I guess it is a tick alright coz mummy freak out when she saw the corpse.  Long before I came to this home, mummy had a huge and long battle with ticks and jie jie even caught a tick fever back then. It isn’t something she will handle lightly. She check us thoroughly to make sure there isn’t another one hiding somewhere.

 

The next morning, mummy wanted to put Frontline on us and the shop near our place (not our regular petshop) was out of Frontline. Mummy doesn’t have the habit of putting these stuffs on us cause they…afterall are toxic.  She doesn’t trust these unless it is for desperate measures. This shop recommended Hartz Flea & Tick 3 in 1 and provide some info which convinced mummy.  She applied that on us to help us prevent any possible runaway ticks that might harm us.

 

Just to be on the safe side, she didn’t forget to check on internet if there are more info about Hartz but didn’t find much on Y search.

Mummy forgot my Birthday!!!!

I had been waiting and expecting some yummy treats from mummy right from the morning on 9^th Sep. She went about her daily routine getting ready for work and I was following her everywhere around the house.  I’m sure I hint, signal and wink at her trying my very best to remind her that it’s my birthday….but but but… she left the house with some flying kisses. That’s ALL!

 

Ok ok, I’ll be patient and I’ll wait.  

 

She came home finally… feed us… nothing special… she didn’t bring anything back for me??? WHY!!!! Why ji jie’s birthday got fireworks!!! I dun hv fireworks, no treats, no eggs…no nothing… ;(

Then she start to do her exercise. I am so unhappy, I just sprawl on the floor and she didn’t even realize that I dun even go up on the sofa to lie down as usual.  I am silently protesting… continue my SPRAWL on the floor.

 

10pm, 2hrs before my birthday is over and she had not remember or realized it’s my birthday. Then finally she squeal and cupped my face in her hands and start kissing me. She apologized and hurried out of the room.  I ran after her and there she is, standing near the kitchen opening our cookie jar!  Yippee!!! She finally remember! Mummy said a Birthday prayer for me just like the way she did it for jie jie.  Finally… mummy remembers my 4^th BIRDDAY.  I can go to bed now…. YAWN (*O*)

 

Poor dogs wait for death in China butchery

Cruelty comes in many forms and this is something which is so unbearable. We feel very sorry and sad for these doggies. Mummy had been cursing this few days after she saw this news.  We thought we will blog here to let people know what some of our fellow canines are suffering. We are so fortunate to be loved.  We do not want to create hatred here but if you know of any friend who had exotic taste for our flesh, please tell them not to eat us.

Thanks!

I love the wind blowing in my hair

My usual wkend bath will leave me smelling yummilicious, cuddly and pretty. I love feeling the air blowing on my long flowy hair...

My Angel flew home

I wasn't expecting this. It's like any regular work day. I know it is quite as hard for K to break the news to me. It will never be easy for any of us who had love Cocoa dearly to accept what that has now become cruel reality.

Cocoa had gone to the rainbow bridge, so sudden... I do not even know how to describe my feeling at that moment. I was in shocked... I am in the office and I am crying. This special baby wasn't my dog but she is like one of mine. My Fluffy grew up under the shadow of her wings. She is the 1st dog that I ever get to know before I get Fluffy.

There are so many things I wish I had done for Cocoa before she's gone. I miss her so much. I grief because my lil angel had gone home. Every corner I turn at home, I see her. The usual spot she lies while waiting for us to return home. The blue bowl that was use to raise her food bowl sits there in the kitchen. Images of her golden brown fur and her innocent eyes.

But I will rejoice that I will see her again one day. All Dog Goes to HEAVEN. I want to see her there wagging her tail welcoming me at heaven's gate. Rest in Peace, sweet baby. You will be dearly missed.

In loving memory of Cocoa 1st Oct 1993 - 22nd Mar 2008

Bye Bye Jie Jie Dearest

Sky had never appeared to be so grey to me as today when I received news about you my dearest jie jie. Suddenly I felt so unwell like a huge stone had choked in my throat and my heart aches as my eyes began to rain. I never knew I had missed you so much until now. It breaks my heart to know that you are gone.

Mummy had told me that God had given them a mansion, a place in heaven, I am suppose to wait for mummy at the mansion the day I go to rainbow bridge. I had to make my way to mummy’s mansion and wait for her there till the day we reconciled. Would you please, do the same and wait there till the day comes when I can play again with you.

I remember the day you came to the petshop to help choose me. I’ve been following you around since. The fun time we had running in the park and swimming at the beach. The rain dance we will do when we refused to go places that our m will take us to. Each time I see the fireworks from grandma’s house, I think of you. I will bark at the fireworks and wish they go away because you are afraid of the loud noises they made which sounded like thunder. M had stopped baking since the day you left for YVR, we had not had a cake a long time. We will have that again soon, in remembrance of you. Silly Porsche is “dazey” and do not know what is going on. She didn’t had much time to get to know you but I’m sure she loves you too coz you too had help to choose her as my companion. I can only dream of you now till the day we meet again.

Wuv wuv my dearest Jie Jie Cocoa

Grooming Done

I had my grooming done but mummy was too busy with work and had no time to upload any peektures. Chinese New Year is round the corner and mummy had so much preparations to do such as cleaning the house and putting up some festive decorations. The grooming wasn't fantastic but we don't have a choice. The groomer suppose to be a mastergroomer and charge us for mastergroomer price but it was just a very normal trim and maybe not even done by the master groomer herself. Mummy also spotted that my ear wasn't clean properly and I had been scratching. She found my ear to be quite waxy and had to do another round of cleaning for me and to monitor if I will develop yeast. The equipment use to pluck my ear hair may not be sterilised. Mummy not gonna send me there anymore. Lucky for jie jie Fluffy, mummy groom her without having to send her to the groomer.

I just hope that mummy and grandma will remember to get us our new year goodies too. Mummy had not bought us any new year clothes. She will try to post some of jie jie Fluffy's previous peektures. As for me, my hair is too "pong" (fluff and big) and mummy say I look very weird in dresses. :(

Stay tune my dear friend for my makeover peekture when mm had the time.

Before I forget, both jie jie and me wish everybody "GONG XI FAT CAI". A Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Yaya Groomer vs Goodie Groomer

There’s a pet shop near my place and mummy had not sent me there for their grooming before. When mummy pop by the shop, the owner have a big fat CKCS. When mummy tried to book grooming for me, she didn’t like the attitude of the owner and there isn’t much review about the grooming here. When mummy look at the pictures sticking on the wall, she hesitated to send me there for grooming. Eventually I was sent to Bark and Bubbles and mummy is quite happy with the grooming except that they didn’t give me water to drink when I was there and I slurp up almost half a bowl of water when I reached home. Mummy called B & B to feedback on this and they promise to remember to give me water next time.

During Dec, mummy wanted to try the Pet shop near my place again but it was fully booked for the month of Dec. Mummy had been busy trying to complete her work before her vacation so she had not booked me with B & B. Come this Jan, mummy try to book with the shop nearby again and the owner told her that she didn’t have her appointment book with her and ask mummy to call back. Mummy then sms to check if she is available for the 1^st wkend in Jan and she replied that “this wkend is full”. Mummy then ask if she has slot next wkend or wk after. We never hear any reply….

Few days later, mummy sms the shop owner again to ask if any of the other wkend is avail, we had not heard from her. Oh well, the shop owner’s reply was rude, just say “aei, I reply you liao ma, already told you all wkends are quite packed till New Year.” I wonder what kind of person is this to say quite packed… so not fully packed la~ I think she is not interested in getting new business, she is toooooooo busy I guess.

I had enough! If mummy is ever going to think of sending me there, I’ll protest. As for B & B, aunty A was prompt to reply to say fully booked and only avail after 13^th Feb. This is good of her to tell us she is full and when is the next date available. Mummy manage to finally source for a available groomer near our regular pet shop. I will go for my hair styling this Sat. Yippee… But it will be a looooong walk for me.

Mummy did not spend Christmas with us

Mummy and ah ma is going on a vacation and she left on Christmas day! This is the worst Christmas we have. No goodies, no yummies and we only have godma and eh yi croc to look after us :(

We tried to smuggle ourselves into her luggage but we failed. Nevertheless, we had great fun making ourselves cozy in the bag.

Here I go, I sneak in 1st. hmmm... must find a place to hide

Maybe behind the shoe bag

Ah.... it's quite squashy in here.... no good.It's so cozy..... I'm sleepy... I'll think of a plan after I take a nap.When I wakes up, Porsche has already joined me in the bag. There's not enough space for both of us and I tried to shoo her but she just wouldn't leave.Porsche begs me, she promise to be cooperative and will be as quiet as possible and wouldn't be a cry baby. Yup, she's good at negotiating. who can resist my cute lil sis's charm. Oh man, we didnt succeed. Mummy found us and there goes our plan to tag along.
Nevertheless, we had great fun messing up mummy's luggage and for being such a good ;i; gal, I give Porsche a kiss. (tho I am kinda still sulking about the tough luck we had)

We wish mummy, aunt and ah ma have a great vacation.

Bad Bad rashes..shoo shoo

I had been scratching, scratching, chewing and chewing. I am not having a good time and I had to hide from mummy whenever I wanna scratch scratch. The itch is killing me... arghhhhh!

Mummy spotted nasty rash on me and she applied antiobotic cream for me and observe me. Why wud she observe me? What's there to observe other than catching me in th act of chewing my butt, my paw and my art or balancing when scratching my chest with my hind legs. I almost thought she changed my name coz I lept hearing her call me NO! No! No!... hmm have she named me Nono?

Here's the pic she took to show the vet when she brought me there. Ah... nasty ones. I was given 2 bottles of antibiotic to be taken and lots of antihistamin. Anti what??? Anti His tamin... Who is the he in me? I'm a gal.

Cherish Me

We read about Herbie the GR that mummy acquainted few years ago had gone to the rinbow bridge. Mummy was all sniffy when she read aunty S's entry on Herbie's blog. Mummy felt that she had not been spending enough quality time with us or taking us out more often.

We know it was hard on mummy to have to work and take care of us both alone. She also under the pressure to be able to bring home the bread. She has 2 mouths to feed and I am not in very good health since young and each visit to the vet cost quite an amount.

I know we had a much shorter lifespan than a human baby and we sleep most of the time. Not only mummy wants to spend more time with us, we want to try to spend more time with her too. We are learning to cherish each other. Mummy had not been taking much photos for us lately other than some snapshot from her mobile. She will try to upload and keep as much pix of us as possible.

Pictures to share

I want whatever that is that you are eating

Close up... stare

You gotta be quick to catch me do this

I sleep anywhere anyhow, even when sitting up straight. Coz I am tired mah.

Escape Artist

They have been too complacent and had not think about that I will strike again. The famous Fluffy the Master of illusion. Nothing beats the the magnificent howling power of Porsche the Howler tho. Mummy left for her hair treatment appointment on Satand I just missed her so much. I thought she came back or was it Bree, our neighbour’s barking that caught my attention. I just wanna peek through the gate but before I realized, I had “teleported” from inside the house to outside the house!

I do not know how to get back in and it is so dangerously as I don’t know who may come by, especially the “BEE BO BEE BO gu bo zhua, radio tian xi ki” man. He might catch me and sell me by weight. I had to get my dearest sister who’s secret power is her earth shattering howling. Porsche came to my rescue as she began to howl and howl. Finally we got SF’s attention but she didn’t know why Porsche is howling and crying about. She kept bid and call Porsche to return to the living room. But Porsche my faithful one refuse to budge.

SF had no choice but come over to check what’s going on. Then she realized, looking at my skinny furless…ooops I mean fur little body with innocent eyes. She get the keys to open the gate to let me in. Ah! Safe at last and I kiss and kiss SF hoping she will keep this between her and me. Hush Hush, don’t tell mummy. But what a dull human, she didn’t get the message! Yes, mummy hear of everything.

Mummy planning to do some fencing and re-inforcement to the gate on Monday. Yikes.
