I need Garbage Collector

I've been a very good boy for a long time now. I chewed up 3 pairs of MaMa's shoes when I was a puppy. Then MaMa told me that shoes are for wear & not chewing, I understood what she was saying. I am a smart boy, not like some "bimbotic bitch". I won't do more than just a sniff with MaMa & PaPa's shoes.

Today MaMa returned home & she FREAKED OUT!!! What greeted her were 2 pairs of shoes. The first pair was one that she just gotten repaired after Kaylie chewed off the padding...
Looking a little further, she saw her new pair. She had worn them once to work & intended to wear them for Chinese New Year but...
MaMa knew immediately that it was Kaylie's doing. She gave Kaylie a good scolding. It was really scary. I went into hiding & so did Kaylie.

Anyone working in Garbage Collection Centre? I need Kaylie to be picked up immediately.

Bye Bye fur...

After reading all about the grooming, shaving & bathing; MaMa decided to give me a good "stripping". Here was what she managed to get out of my body after 15mins...
MaMa said I'm not totally "finished" so I am looking "patchy". I begged her to not take a picture of me & forcing me to post it. Thank goodness she agreed 'cos I was a good boy throughout the whole process. Part 2 of my grooming will be next weekend. Gotta come up with a plan to avoid it. Suggestions?

Oh, also, MaMa couldn't get anyone to lend her the glue gun so she decided to keep our teeth in a "tooth tub" for now...

A little of everything...

The weather had been awful & MaMa had been BZ at work. We were bored to tears & suffering from writer's block. I sat staring blankly for 9hrs & nothing, nothing at all. A decision had to be made & I decided on putting up some pictures taken from awhile ago. Perhaps you can help me with the words?!

So here we go...

Socialising

Inspired by Jaffa's socialising class, I decided to share a few more pictures of Kaylie's "socialising sessions".

It was at our usual dog park & there were quite a few dogs around. First she went to say "hi" to a puppy beagle...
Then she decided to terriorise a CHH...
MaMa was not too impressed with her "tom boyish" behaviour so she tried to stop her. Kaylie decided to make a dash around the park to "vent her anger"...

About 3 minutes of this crazy running around, she finally chilled & took a rest...

A fine day at the park

A couple of Sundays ago, MaMa & PaPa brought us to the Fort Canning Park. With us were Baileys, Cav & BearBear (together with their parents).

It was a sunny day. We walked around the park, checked out some other dogs & of course the Uncles & Aunties selling cookies & treats.

We took part in the "fastest eater" contest. The stage was set...

First up was me. See, the thing is, they had some kibbles on the plates & kibbles are not treats; they are breakfast. So I ate them very reluctantly.
Next up was Kaylie. MaMa was super sure she would clean up the plate in no time!!!
'Cos she was kept waiting for too long, she threw a hissy fit...
So in the end, neither of us won anything. Oh well, c'est la vie.

We will meet again

I want to share a few more pictures of Jack with all of you. These were taken by Uncle R a couple of months before Jack had to bid farewell. Uncle R loved to take pictures of Jack 'cos he thought Jack was most handsome. Thank you Uncle R.

Uncle R made sure Jack looked his best on his final photo shoot... Made sure there were no signs of pain so Jack could leave us dignified, just like a terrier warrior...


Thank you Jack for walking with MaMa & PaPa...

Jack

After reading a recent post on T-man's blog, it reminded MaMa of Jack, a JRT she used to foster.

Jack was a very handsome JRT. He came into MaMa's life in early 2003. MaMa fostered him while looking for a loving home to take him in. Months went by & no one seemed to pass MaMa's "test". MaMa decided to let Jack "own" her & they enjoyed the most incredible time together. PaPa formed a close bond with Jack too. They went for walks first thing in the morning & long walks during the weekends.

Unfortunately, Jack's lymph node at the neck started to swell up.
At the time of this picture, both PaPa & MaMa didn't notice the swell. They didn't know much about pets / animals, except to just love them.

Jack had a fantastic nature. He was so tolerant of JuJu as a kitten growing up. JuJu would bug him for snuggles & play, sometime even scratching him out of "playfulness" & yet Jack showed much patience. They played & rest together.

As his condition got worse, he fought on. He went to the park, put on a strong front like any terriers would.

MaMa told me when she got me that I get double the love 'cos Jack left some behind for me.

It is Christmas already?!

Can someone tell me if Christmas is here again?!
MaMa came back tonight with a whole bag of stuff!!! Some really nice stuff. There were treats, treats & more treats. Plus there was 2 collars & a leash that I'm not too fond of; but, if they come with the treats, I don't mind.
MaMa says, she'll give them to us a little at a time starting from tomorrow. When is tomorrow? I hope it's real soon.

Beach/Bitch Day out

This is the 2nd part of our New Year's Day beach outing. MaMa was trying to get the video clips ready for posting & since she's new to this "gadget" it's taken her a loooong time.

Anyway, I told MaMa that I want to show off my swimming skills & she'll have to prepare a clip to show how long & far we swam...

For some reason, Kaylie decides to be a bitch @ the beach & started bitching around. I gave her a piece of my mind then a sand bath after...

We went with Jose & Bond & they are now the new Beach Boys. In the clip, you can see Jose's mommy being very excited about Jose swimming. Jose never use to like the water & now he's out there anytime. Kaylie is now his "girlfriend" & he is all so proud to tell her how good a swimmer he is. Kaylie being the bitch she is "gave in" to his "courting"...

Tag Tag Tag

What's with resolutions? As far as I know, MaMa makes the same resolution each year and till this day she is still "working on it".

This is the first time I'm making resolutions, so here we go...

1. NOT CHASE STRAY CATS. (MaMa forced me to write this)
2. Not pee against the kitchen wall. (Again, instructed by MaMa)
3. Not pick up junk from the ground. (Definitely against my will)

Honestly, I don't want to make any resolution. I just want to take it easy. Come what may. Sorry pals, resolution is not the thing for the Graham family I guess.

Beach Bums

It was bright & sunny on the 1st day of 2007. We were all ecstatic cos we were heading down to the beach. Don't you just love the tropics?! No offense to you pals out there who are freezing your a** off in the snow, I'm here "burning" my a** off in the sun! Ok ok, I know Miss Sunshade LOVES the snow but hey, the sun is just the bestest!!!

Here's us in the sea, the sun was shining & the water was cool. One word, PERFECT...

PaPa took a beautiful headshot of Kaylie swimming...

And there's me...

U may ask, why was it that Kaylie looked so good & I looked goofy?! I refuse to think I'm the goofy one. I blame it on PaPa for not being consistant with his photography.

Anyway, we got a treat or 2 during breaks. Gotta recharge, if you know what I mean. So here we were, together with another terror, having a chomp on some lamb tripe...

Jose, the cairn terrier is one of our pals. U may wonder whatever happened to his "non-existent" fur. All I can say is = human doing.

A toast to all

Exactly a year ago, we welcomed 2006 and now it's 2007. MaMa & PaPa did pretty much the same thing. They got a couple of bottles of Moet & Chandon, gave us a few sips for good luck and just chilled out at home.

I enjoyed it...

Kaylie really liked it too...

Salut to everyone for a fantastic 2007. We are off to a good start as far as I'm concerned. Sunny weather after consecutive rainfall. We even went to the beach in the morning. More pictures & videos later.
