It's Jaffe & now Kaylie too!!!

Kaylie's 3

2009-08-09T14:00:00.000+08:00

It was Kaylie's 3rd birthday 2 sundays ago. It was raining on & off; so we didn't get to do much except going to the pet shop to get some treats & a new toy for her. Good enough for us.

Kaylie had to pose behind her "presents" before we get to bring it home. After numerous shots, she finally gave a good one.

MaMa made her share some of her treats but the new cuz was hers.

She managed to "kill" it within 3mins...

She had since abandoned the new cuz but is still loving the old messed up one we found at the park.

Woof to Woofstock '09

2009-07-13T17:00:00.000+08:00

It's been 2 months since I last posted. Not much happened except we went to Woofstock '09 on 13th June & also shopping around for a more permanent home in TO.

We had lotsa fun at Woofstock. MaMa & PaPa decided to be on a quest to take pictures of us with our "cousins". We were made to sit almost all the JRTs / PRTs that we met on the way. There were no sense of priorities. Although interrupted by the picture taking; we managed to sniff out all the free sample treats. We had so much to eat we were almost too full for dinner. Here are some of the pictures we took...

We also took shots of a couple of fashion divas...

Till the next time, enjoy the rest of summer every pawfriends...

I'm 5

2009-05-14T19:20:00.000+08:00

Yes, I'm 5. Happy Birthday to me! Thank you for all the well wishes.

I didn't do anything special today but I got to make a trip to my FAVOURITEST place! I got to pick out my own pressies!!! How wild is that?! Here's the loot...

I think I did pretty well. MaMa had to stop me before I broke the bank. After posing for a million pictures, I finally get to eat the little sausage thingy!

I shared a few bites with Kaylie too, not by choice thou...

Bananarama

2009-04-25T22:45:00.000+08:00

We did the unthinkable (AGAIN!) a couple of days ago. Remember I was saying about MaMa's new knitting hobby?! We decided to join in the fun... Yep, the last time we were just checking it out trying to help but this time we want to be in the club!
First we thought we should make sure we have enough yarn...
Then let's see if we need new needles...
When MaMa got home, she weren't happy at all. She charged us with "murder of the 1st degree"! We pleaded "not guilty", of cos... then this song started ringing in my head...

And the judge and the jury they all put the blame on me
They wouldn't go for my story
they wouldn't hear my plea.

Kaylie & I took turn making faces...
U can imagine after sticking our tongues at MaMa, there was no mercy with the "sentance". We were to be stripped immediately & no treats for a day. So now we are just 2 hungry furless dogs.

Just chillin & dodging the bullet

2009-04-20T13:15:00.000+08:00

Hey there buddies, since the last post, we've had a couple of days with tinnie snow flurries. I guess it was ok since it's either snow flurries or spring showers, which is what we're having for the next couple of days.

We had some beautiful weather last week. Bright sunshine & relatively warm weather. We went on our usual walkies in the ravine in the morning & hanging out a little at the park; chillin. Nothing out of the ordinary.

MaMa had been "threatening" to strip us down to our "summer coat" cos we are starting to pant alot on our walkies. Kaylie is worse since she pants into MaMa's face at night & it drives MaMa crazy. The chilly spring showers for the next couple of days saves us from the "torture". I wonder how can we keep dodging the bullet.

Mama had been very busy knitting up a storm as BD gifts. She finished her very first "lace pattern" shawl...

And also her very first "Baby dress" ...

What do ya think? I know alot of hoomans were pretty impressed with her work. My only focus is to make sure she keeps knitting for other & will eventually forget about my sweater. *paws crossed...

I shall remind you of my handsome good looks before all the fur goes "aflying"...

Spring back to life!!!

2009-04-02T17:00:00.001+08:00

Can you smell it? Can you feel it? Everything sprung to life in just the pass 1 week. We can smell the grass in the field & feel "warmth" in the air.

We went to check out the Maple Festival last Sat. It was a beautiful day to be out exploring. An interesting outting calls for some interesting pictures & here we go...

We only got to lick the empty sample cup once cos the maple syrup was too sweet for us, according to MaMa. We are still hoping for Maple syrup drizzled pancake for breakfast. paws crossed...

Spring is in the air...

2009-03-06T21:30:00.000+08:00

Hi pals, sorry we hvn't been updating. I'm finally getting over the humiliation of our Valentine's Day "outfit".

We have been hibernating quite a bit due to the cold but it's been really nice today. 6th May, it almost feels like Spring. There's spring in our steps when we went for our walkies in the 15c weather.

Although I'm starting to miss the snow... ah, good times...

MaMa took some time to knit a scarf for PaPa. It was meant to be a present for Valentine's day but she took longer than expected.

Happy Valentine's Day...

2009-02-13T14:10:00.000+08:00

Happy Valentine's Day every 4 paws & 2 legged.

The mystery of yesterday's post is "solved". It had an unfortunate ending, in my opinion...

Yup, it ended up on us. Why didn't I see it coming is beyond me, not the first time this happened.

Before the "final shot" was done we did give a little "attitude" to show our displeasure...

Ok MaMa & PaPa, we hope you had fun. There, Happy Valentine's Day. Your turn to show us some love now, fetch us some treats & prepare our dinner.

What does all this mean?

2009-02-12T16:30:00.000+08:00

We were showered...

Then MaMa went out & came back with...

"Culture" shock...

2009-02-04T15:00:00.001+08:00

What can I say. There's the weather, there's the outfits & there's the sports...

I think we are coping with the change of seasons pretty well. There's the rain & then there's the snow, not very hard - so we thought. When we arrived back in May 08, it was raining pretty much everyday & temperature about 10c to 14c. We have rain in Singapore but here a raincoat is necessary. It is brrrrrr being wet. The rain continued with the temperature rising & so we had to be stripped. I don't know which is worse, to wear "flashy" (MaMa likes bright colors on us. *eye roll) outfits or to be bald.

The rain continued & the temperature began to fall again. Our fur started to really grow & we were looking quite "fuzzy". We were made to put on flashy outfits again. The temperature started to drop even further & now we are talking BELOW ZERO! More flashy outfits came popping out of the closet!

Here's us on "snowing days"...

Here's us when the temperature drops to -14c, with windchill of -28c...

As you can tell from the pictures that I'm not very happy with having to play dress up. I feel ridiculous. Talking about ridiculous, it was groundhog day on the 2nd Feb. According to this cute little "friend", we're gonna have another 6 weeks of winter. No offense but isn't it strange to be relying on the shadow of a groundhog when we have all the advance technology that supposedly tracks all the weather pattern? Why the shadow of groundhog? What about shadow of us! Gee, we are out at least twice a day & we can sit, stand or lay down for you to "study" our shadow for higher accuracy. Sorry I digress.

Now sports... hmmm... Super Bowl... MaMa & PaPa tried to stay up watching the 4.5hr game but only managed the last quarter. Yup, the last 15mins of the game. It was really exciting, MaMa & PaPa were on the edge of the couch as the referee watched the replay; trying to decide if both feet of the player were in & if he had full "control" of the pig skin. Question: How does a 1hr game turn into 4.5hr? We think the "Doggie Bowl" on Animal Planet is way more fun to watch. That's just us.

Happy Year of the Ox

2009-01-27T21:00:00.001+08:00

We want to give a shout out to all our Chinese pals, "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Wan Shi Ru Yi".

A quick update - We are finally in our new digs! Loving it so far. Reminds us of our apartment back in Singapore except it's less than 1/2 the size. That's alright cos we love snoozing when MaMa & PaPa are out during the day.

The weather past couple of days are slightly milder, staying between -9c to -13c (9F to 16F) so we get to check out our new park hangout. MaMa stood in the middle of the fenced up dog park & took a couple of pictures. The picture on the right shows a smaller area for tinnie dogs who don't appreciate bigger dogs.

We sorta went around to say hi...
The most exciting part of the visit was when we spotted a squirrel on the tree in the tinnie dog area!!!
We were just trying to tell the squirrel to find it's own playground!!!

Happy holidays everyone!!!

2009-01-02T14:30:00.002+08:00

Here's wishing everyone a furfilling & pawsome 2009!!!

The past 10 days had gone by sooo quickly. PaPa took time off work & we slept in every single day. It was just pawsome to be snuggling up to MaMa & PaPa, although the queen size bed proved a little too small with 2 hoomans, 2 dogs & a cat. We go through "1 minute power struggle" every night since all of us want the "prime spot".

I hope "Santa" was kind to all of you this Christmas. We got a package from Caesar & Sachi, our furry friend from Singapore. Thank you aunt Liz for picking them out. We'll take pictures of the toys after we move to our new dig. MaMa managed to find 1 picture from the webbie thou...
Can't wait to play with it. We got a frisbee too which will be great for playing in the snow, I think.

Great granny got us Nylabone edible chews. They were yummy...

MaMa & PaPa got us yummy treats & poop bags (I don't know why they think poop bags are considered a pressie)

I seriously doubt you want to see pictures of poop bags, so I shall spare you the "details".

As usual, we had "special" din din for Xmas Eve & New Year's Eve... tada...

We had a couple of laps of Moet & Chandon on New Year's day for good luck & that pretty much wrapped up our celebration! phew... I think it's time I take a nap...

Count down to winter

2008-12-19T21:00:00.000+08:00

Hey all, MaMa finally got around to sorting out some videos. They were taken a couple of days back after a night of snowfall. There were a few dogs in the park too so it was alot of fun. Kaylie must have sprained her right hind cos she wasn't too interested in her favourite game of chase. She is still a little soar. I hope she feels better soon cos I want all of us to go for a long hike on the weekend!

When we arrived at the park, a friend cockle spaniel came to greet us.

Then I had to show him who is the boss!

I guess he was a little annoyed with my "bossiness" & decided to tell me off.

I took the cue & moved on to my next target. Unfortunately he was a little too big for me to take on but we did some chasing around, which was just as fun.

Today we had a big snow storm & boy that make our P&P business really challenging. It started from 10am all the way to about 5pm. We had to hop most of the way around the park. We were left with no choice but did number 2 on the sidewalk. Sorry neighbours, we had no choice. MaMa picked up everything, you won't even notice.

PHEW...

2008-12-17T23:00:00.001+08:00

Hi all, we're back. There's soooo much & yet nothing going on. We were busy hunting for a new mini apartment to rent, we printed our Christmas cards & popped them in the mail. MaMa was down with a cold so she was on light duties for almost 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, we were bored out of our minds & we find ourselves needing to release all that energy through some "fighting"...

MaMa couldn't figure out how to adjust the video so we looked like we were suffering from a bad case of jaundice.

Check out my terrierist "roar"...

MaMa is feeling better now. She said her body is finally sending the bugs packing.

We had some decent snowfall last night which makes our morning walkies so much more fun!

Will upload some videos of our run-around soon!

White virgins

2008-11-24T19:30:00.001+08:00

As the snow on the ground melts away in the rain, I decided to browse through all the pictures we took from running around in the park. It was the very first time we ran around in a thin layer of snow. It was soooo much fun. We were busy eating the snow, yummmy... Being a virgin, I couldn't quite figure out where to poop. It was really tough to find the "right spot". Kaylie, on the other hand, had no problem. Not that she's been there or done that, she's just not very particular. Anyway, here are some of the pictures and I'm sure it's not hard to tell who had more fun...

Snowfall pictures part 2

2008-11-19T23:40:00.000+08:00

Went out for our P&P regime before bedtime & the amount of snow made us all too excited. I managed a few pee (gotta "re-mark" my territory) but couldn't find a spot to poo. We were running around aimlessly cos we couldn't figure out where's the grass & where's the road or pavement...

Let it snow; let it snow; let it snow...

2008-11-19T18:00:00.000+08:00

weeeeee... There's lotsa fluffy snow on the floor. It taste yummy... Mama took us to the park this even for a run cos it's finally bright enough with the snow on the ground. This is the first time we got to run in the snow! Real snow; snow that actually stays on the ground. Not the one we had a few weeks ago that disappear the moment it touches the ground.

Anyhow, Mama was too excited so she didn't have the camera with her. She decided to go out on her own after dropping us home. So here you go, pictures of the snow around our neighbourhood...

First Halloween in TO

2008-11-05T20:00:00.000+08:00

It was our first Halloween in TO & we were quite excited. MaMa said kids who play dress up will get candies & I thought if I put up with wearing some sorta costume I'll get some cookies too.

Here we were feeling a little miserable with the "head gear"...
Yup, that was Kaylie trying to look scary. Didn't really work though.

Our kitty sissy had to rub it in by giving us the "you look ridiculous" check...

We could only hope that the humiliation would be rewarded with some really good cookies but... NOOOOOOO!!! There was only chocolate. We can't have chocolate! No more costume for me unless there's a big marrow bone as reward.

MaMa's first hat!

2008-10-25T22:00:00.000+08:00

So, as you know, MaMa took up knitting a couple of months back. She had knitted 3 scarves so far & she just completed her first hat! She is super excited about it.

The hat is actually a size too small cos MaMa is a very tight knitter, if it makes sense to any of you. It was suppose to be a watchcap but now she as to wear it as a beanie. Oh well, I just hope she doesn't get any idea about knitting us hats too!

Oct 21st

2008-10-22T21:00:00.004+08:00

We woke up to a chilly chilly morning, went for our morning walk as usual. Didn't think too much about it except the sky was a little darker than usual & the wind was uncomfortable on the nose.

(Kaylie: Made my fur all messy... bleah)

By the afternoon, it started to drizzle. I hate drizzles cos MaMa won't let us run around in the park. You can tell I wasn't too pleased when she woke me up. JuJu, my kitty sissy, was a little annoyed too.

To my surprise, she said we could run wild in the park today! When we got to our usual park, there was tiny white stuff falling from the sky. It is different from the usual drizzle that we are use to. MaMa said it's our first "snow fall"!

We were sooooo excited we decided to celebrate it with a wild chase!

Kaylie wanted to celebrate with wild CHASES & she ended up chasing on her own. *eye roll

We met a few other doggies too but MaMa was busy keeping an eye on us socialising so she didn't take any videos. I figured you must be "video'd out" by now anyway.

So there you go, our first "snow fall".

The Great Escape

2008-10-19T23:00:00.004+08:00

It's been a long long time since I last touched my blog. I can't begin to say how sorry I am. MaMa is not really helpful with the situation. She's still busy with learning knitting. 3 scarves so far & next in line is a hat. I don't know why she can't just go to the store to get one for 5 bucks!

Anyway, nothing interesting so far except that our kitty sissy decided to be an outdoor cat! She got jealous with the fact that we get to pick up coffee with MaMa & PaPa in the morning so she sneaked out just to go with us!

We took some pictures of the colorful trees around our neighbourhood too!

We go for 3hrs walk on weekend mornings. Will post more pictures on the next post!

Changes

2008-09-26T09:00:00.001+08:00

As the leaves on the trees start to change colour, we sit back & remember all the "firsts" over the past 5 months...

We came to Toronto, Canada on the 29th April. Since than we celebrated MY burpday in May, PaPa's burpday in June, Kaylie's burpday in July, MaMa's burpday in August & 9th wedding anniversary in Sept. A very busy 5 months. All these parties; so tiring.

Nevermind all the celebrations, what about the weather?! Oh my goodness, where do I begin... We arrived to a wet & chilly Spring, we then had wet & tempermental Summer. Autumn is finally here, love it. Plenty of sun so far, it's fantastic!

I shall now leave you with the secret to a long lasting marriage...

Yup, that's the house rule. One dictates & the other listens blindly.

Happy Anniversary PaPa & MaMa...

It's done!!!

2008-09-10T11:00:00.004+08:00

While MaMa kept busy playing with chopsticks, I decided to take her shawl; lay it down on the cold floor & take a nap. Kaylie on the other hand amused herself with a little nyla bone...
What do you think, I look good in red eh?!

As the weather gets colder by the day, MaMa was a busy bee trying to finish her very first scarf! Today, at 11pm, we proudly present the end product... ta da...
Closer look at the details...

Yes, it is "bi-color". Why the choice of colors?! 3 reasons, she said. 1. It is Xmas colors. 2. She thinks she looks real good in all shades of red & contrary to popular belief; she does like green. (only in this shade thou). Last but not least, PaPa bought like a million green sweaters so MaMa can "match" him. WHATEVER!!!

Thanks but NO THANKS

2008-08-26T17:00:00.000+08:00

Hi there pals,

MaMa had been neglecting our blog. She was busy playing with chopsticks & awful tasting noodles. We sat around patiently & asked if we could join in the fun but MaMa said it was not a game, it's "work". Being good little buddies, we had offered to help so she could finish up & attend to our blog sooner. Again, she politely turn down our offer.

While MaMa was out today, we thought we'll give her a surprise & finish up her work. We had to use our mouth; since we don't have opposable thumbs & it proved to be too challenging. We gave up & took a nice afternoon nap instead.

MaMa came back to this...
MaMa wasn't too happy with what we did. She was hoping beyond hope that the chopsticks were still usable...

Ooops, guess not...

Oh well... So, can we go to the park now?!

Let's bite the bullet...

2008-08-13T15:20:00.000+08:00

We "bite" the bullet last weekend to HarbourFront. The bullet was really fast at getting us to our destination. We got a shot of the bullet coming at us...

Ok ok, bite, ride... geddit?! Same same but different...

We were gonna take the ferry to Centre Island but there were about a million people wanting to do the same thing. So we ended up just walking on the boardwalk which was just as fun. There were alot of people just chilling out, having a picnic, reading a book. The sky was clear & the sun feels good with the breeze in our face.
MaMa took some random pictures as we walked along...

We walked further along & we reached the famous CN Tower. Unfortunately, the cute lady at the entrance said "Buddies are not allowed, sorry." So we just took a picture of it.
That was pretty much it for us. Being in the sun was great but it was kinda eating into our nap time.

Nice walkies...

2008-08-03T15:10:00.000+08:00

We went on a nice walkie on the Discovery trail again. PaPa said we should try to cover all the different path, which suits us just fine.

MaMa remembered her camera this time & she took some random shots during our walks, which also include a couple of rather shaky video. So pop some of those "sea sick" pills before you play them.

Let's ease in with the pictures...
There was this stream that runs in the ravine which I swear the water would be perfect for us but MaMa said no... spoil spot...

Here's a picture of the view during our walk. Bright sunny day...

On the way back home, we walked down on Mt Pleasant & we saw this "bush" with lotsa bees. MaMa attempted to take a picture of them but failed miserably, obviously. Let's see if you can spot any bee on this picture...

Here's the videos of us just tracking along...

There were quite a few joggers on the trail.

Hope all of you had a good weekend. It's Civic Day in Canada tmr & I wonder where would MaMa & PaPa bring us. I better go rest up now just incase.

Burpday part deux

2008-07-27T10:00:00.001+08:00

Hi Hi ... It's Kaylie signing in again...

So guess what we had for din din after our late afternoon walkies!!!

ta da ...

It was yummy to the nth degree...

Guess what MaMa & PaPa had for their din din... (hint: It was a nice summer's day)

BINGO if you said BBQ sausages & chicken...

Yup, it looks quite pathetic on a big BBQ machine... hehehe... They were soooo greedy, they couldn't wait to take the "after" picture... *tsk tsk tsk

So while they were busy with the BBQ, we just hung out & chill. Why bother with BBQ when you can have the meat straight up, 'ya know what I'm say'in...

U can see that Jaffe wasn't very pleased with all the waiting. He was protesting the fact that we can only have our din din after MaMa & PaPa by giving the grumpy face. hehehe...

It's my 2nd Burpday!!!

2008-07-26T17:30:00.001+08:00

(Kaylie singing...)
It's my Burpday, and I'll burp if I want to
Bark if I want to
Barf if I want to
You would Beam too if it happened to you...

Thank you all for the well wishes. I had a wonderful day so far. Infact, it started off last night with a big yummy beef rib. I was too quick for MaMa to take a picture plus it was quite bloody.

We had a little bit of a sleep-in this morning (9.15am), which was perfect. After breakie, we went for a close to 2hrs discovery walk. We were quite beat by the time we got back & so we took a long afternoon nap, which brings me to now! hehehe...

Sorry buddies, I've got no pictures 'cos again, MaMa "forgot" the camera...

We gotta go for our walkies now & then din din... Have a fantastic din din everyone & a lovely Sunday ahead!!!

Walking down...

2008-07-23T09:15:00.001+08:00

... to Chinatown...

It was about 30c last Thursday afternoon & we walked PaPa half way to his work before we headed off to Chinatown. Why Chinatown? Who cares, as long as we get to go for long walks!!!

MaMa made us "pose" near the building she went for Dim Sum...

Since she was at it, she took videos too... (listen out for the street car's "bellie horn")

This video is further along the street...

By the end of the 3.5hrs walk, we were beat! We had to jump straight into bed for a power snooze before our evening walkies in 2hrs. I was out to the world...

Kaylie was trying to cover her eyes from MaMa's flashing equipment...

Discovery walks

2008-07-16T22:20:00.001+08:00

We had been on discovery walks a few times now. Each time MaMa will conveniently "forget" the camera. I don't know what got into her today, she actually had the camera with her.

Having said that, she didn't take very good pictures nor videos cos she had "too much to handle". Such big liar. All she had was my leash & a coffee cup. Anyway, we say something is better than nothing. First up is a video of us walking along the road. Notice the orange bus that pass, that's a school bus...

It was a sunny morning out, about 23c.
Finally we reached the part that we really like. It is much cooler in there...

We were busy looking for rodents, MaMa had to put the camera away so she could control us... bummer...

It was nice meeting you...

2008-06-30T12:00:00.001+08:00

What a sunday we had. We woke up to some drizzling rain & so we cut short our walkies, logged on to the weekly dogs with blog chat party to bark hi. The most exciting event was meeting up with Momo & Pinot in the afternoon. The sky cleared up & the field was dry. What more can we ask.

We spotted Momo's family from afar & we were excited. Although MaMa warned us about behaving ourselves but we couldn't help ourselves. I, Jaffe, decided to play cool & took a quick sniff at Momo & Pinot while Kaylie took to some mini growling action. We were the best, although MaMa was less than please. No pictures at this point cos we made it impossible. ^5 to that.

We went down to the park & we get to run around. It was so hot & I was just happy to laze around. Momo was happy checking out the park...

& running (weeeeee.....)

MaMa managed to take a picture of her after she slowed down... (cute...)

Now, things didn't go very well interms of Pinot & Kaylie though. Pinot, who got a scare by a bigger dog before was a little barky & Kaylie being the little b**ch she is didn't show any tolerance for that. She started to growl & that got Pinot more "excited" & bark more. Before we all know it, there was a scruffle. I decided that it's a good chance to show my "doghood", so I joined in. PaPa stopped me while MaMa was trying to break Kaylie away from Pinot. Pinot's Dad, uncle R, decided to carry Pinot until we've all calmed down.
Doesn't he look cute even though he was quite upset with Kaylie?!

He then got to wander around a little & found a stick to chew on. He was happier then...

Just as Pinot was engrossed with his stick & Momo was "guarding" him, MaMa managed to snap a picture... very slick...

We had fun in the sun & we slept like babies afterwards. MaMa & PaPa really enjoyed chatting with Momo & Pinot's pawrents too, although I think they would much prefer to chat over coffee or a meal after what happened.

Overall it was a fantastic Sunday. A big bark to Momo, Pinot, Auntie J & Uncle R... It was really nice meeting all of you in dog & person. On behalf of Kaylie, a big sorry to Pinot. Hope you didn't get hurt.

Tourism - Good & Bad

2008-06-28T13:00:00.002+08:00

Here's the thing... I know that Tourism is a big thing for the economy for most countries blah blah blah...

So Ma did her part for the economy yesterday by going to Niagara Falls. The most she put out was in the Casino... (roll eyes) She had mentioned to me that she blew 3 bags of my favourite yogurt biscuits on the slot machines. I'm quite p**sed with that to be honest. Here we were, left at home in the basement, waiting for her return while she gave biscuits away to a machine?! Doesn't unconditional love mean anything these days?!

The worst part was the fact that she had asked to post her stinky pictures on MY blog. I told her to get her own blog & she bribed me with beef rib for din din... bummer... (sorry buddies, I caved in. It's beef rib we are talking about here)
Now buddies, tell me how do I stick to my principles?!

So here we go with her pictures...
Niagra Falls on the USA side...

MaMa got really excited when she saw the rainbow!!!
Ok, she wants me to say that all the pictures hadn't been "photoshoped"... Really, who cares...

Then she went on the White Water Walk, she was a little dizzy from the walk cos she was afraid of the "forces" of the water.

Enough of the "touristy" stuff... I need to take a nice rest now cos we are meeting up with Momo & Pinot tomorrow!!! I KNOW!!! How exciting is that?! I can hardly contain meself!!!

Woof woof

Hi there buddies. Lazy MaMa finally got around to sorting the pictures we took at the Woofstock 2008 2 weeks ago.

We had soooo much fun at the event cos there were food, snacks, healthy slushies & everything you can dream of. MaMa was overwhelmed by the number of 2 legged & 4 legged, and also the heat that day. It was about 28c & the sun was out. It was HOT!

Anyways, here are the pictures PaPa took of Woofstock 2008!
First up is Front Street where the event was held.

Now look at the crowd!!! Notice the lady giving out free frozen yogurt!! It would have been perfect if I had one ALL BY MESELF but NOOOO I had to share one with Kaylie! Reason = Eating too much cold stuff will give me bad tummy???!!! How lame was that?! Ma, it's yogurt for barking out loud!!!

Some came all "geared up"...

Some came as they are...

Before we start making our way home, we stood around to watch the fashion show.
Can someone tell me where is the model?

We ended up with new beds & lotsa treats. We LOVE Woofstock!!!

www.wonderful

2008-06-03T23:25:00.001+08:00

It was the perfect Weather, Walkies & Water. Simply wonderful.

The temperature on 25th May was just perfect. It ranges from 20c - 22c. The sky was blue & there was hardly any clouds. It was the start of Pedestrain Sundays to Kensington Market so guess what we did on this perfect day?!

We started our walk towards Kensington Market after our breakie. It must have taken us about 1.5hrs walking there but it was fun. Lotsa sniffing, marking, picking up junk from the ground.

ChinaTown on Spadina was on the way so MaMa took a quick picture while we were waiting for the lights...

2 blocks down & we were at Kensington Market...

We were just loving it & so does PaPa & MaMa...

We then took a street car down to The Beaches!!!
The number of people at The Beaches was just over the top but I don't blame them.
PaPa said it's water from the lake so we can drink from it, boy were we glad...
By the time we were home, our legs were like marshmallow...

Walk to PaPa's work

2008-05-23T20:00:00.000+08:00

Hey there pals, we're back online again! Our connection is kinda iffy at times & posting is made that much more challenging. I've missed the Sunday chats for too long now, I gotta try & make it this Sunday.

Anyhow, I thought I'll quickly share with all of you pictures of downtown. These pictures were taken on our walk home after walking PaPa to work on a gorgeous sunny 18c day. Yup, U read right, 18c is WARM!!! Talk about adapting quickly, eh?!

So here are the pictures...

Here we were just chilling, enjoying the sun just outside of PaPa's work.

The most torturous thing though was this slush van right infront of us & MaMa refuse to get us any!

And so off we go, heading back home along Front Street towards Yonge.
Then there's this HUGE mall, almost like Takashimaya in Singapore, called the Eaton Centre. MaMa swears she will "conquer" the mall one day, whatever that means.

We took a ride once on the TTC, which is the subway here. Then we hopped on the street car! We didn't quite know what to make of this experience, it was strange.

The street car stops just around our favourite shop. It was just perfect.

Another strange thing I find here is the "non-beeping" lights. I much prefer the beeping one in Singapore cos that was our "Q" to cross the road. MaMa says we'll need to learn how to "read" from now on... bummer...

We were poop'd by the time we got home. We took a 2.5hr power nap & off to the park again!!! That's a dog's life for you!

It's my Burpday!!!

2008-05-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

Hi all, thank you for all the burpday wishes!

MaMa & PaPa didn't have time to throw a big bash for me but I got some yummy beef liver treats! No pictures thou, unfortunately, MaMa is not very organised as yet. Wow, first burpday in a foreign land. It's sooooo surreal....

PaPa got someone to rip out the old carpet & lay down some laminate floor. I guess that's his burpday gift for me. It's gonna feel just like our "home" again. Actually, I do kinda miss sliding on the slippery laminate floor. wheeeeeee......

I'll leave you with some pictures of me at the Riverdale Park...

In search of the perfect park

2008-05-13T10:30:00.000+08:00

Hello all, I know I know, I need to update more frequently. I'm trying my very best to get MaMa on top of it.

So, first thing first, I gotta make sure I find a big park for us to hang out & guess what?! There's this HUGE park just minutes from our rental.

We met quite a few new friends & we engaged in a good game of chase.

Kaylie wasn't very sure of the bigger dogs so she stuck really close to MaMa alot of the times. I'm sure she'll come around real fast & be the rascal she is. Suits me just fine cos I'm quite tired of babysitting.

The weather report says we're gonna have the sun shinning brightly for us tmr. It'll be 18c which is perfect for MaMa to walk around in shorts & T again. She's been complaining about not being able to show off her nicely pedicured toes!

Hello from Toronto!!!

2008-05-04T12:15:00.000+08:00

Hey there buddies, the family arrived in Toronto safe & sound. The flight was LOOOOONG!!! We didn't really appreciate the time in the crate & the noise of the airplane engine. We were SOOOOO excited to finally see Ma & Pa at the luggage belt.

So, do we enjoy where we are so far? hmmmm... yes & no really. The fun part is the "everything new" & the not so nice part is also the "everything new". While enjoying the new things; we do miss the "old stuff" we left behind. We are feeling a little insecure in the new place when Ma & Pa have to leave us to run errands. Guess we'll eventually get into a routine.

Now, the weather here... What can we say... From the sunny Stinkapaw to cold cold Turdontoe. This cold weather makes us hungry all the time! We swear the pigeons in the parks look soooooo yummilicious! Oh, and the squirrels, we will get our paws on them some day.

Anyhow, Ma didn't get around to taking much pictures so far. We have a couple shot from a park near our rental...

Look at Ma, she's all bundled up! Brrrrrr... The girls are complaining about having limp hair, the boys are saying more budget for beer.

Anyhow, we were looking at some pictures we took on our last visit to Sentosa & boy do we miss it...

That's all for now folks. We want to thank all of you for the well wishes & prayers. Missing our friends...

Au Revoir Sentosa...

2008-04-25T10:40:00.000+08:00

Hey pals, sorry for the non update for the longest time. We are all very busy with the move. From packing up, closing down, jabs & health checks. I think we are almost done now.

MaMa & PaPa promised to bring us to Sentosa for the very last time on Sun 27th April. To all my Singapore doggie friends, do come on down & hang out with us. If the weather permits, we should be there by 10am.

To my "new" Canadian (Toronto) doggie friends, I sure look forward to finally meeting you "nose to butt"...

Sale Sale Sale...

2008-04-12T19:10:00.003+08:00

Hey there, we got quite a good response for the items put on sale. We hope all of you will continue to pop in here periodically for new items posted. Ma is adding items or group of items as she packs.

From the last post, we still have the 1) DVD player with TV console, 2)Crocery set, 3)Crystal Wine Glasses, 4)Denon audio set

Today, it's Ma's dresser... She is sad 'cos she will miss her great BIG mirror...

I think next will be books...

Cash & "Carry"

2008-04-10T10:00:00.002+08:00

Hi there, it's been awhile since I last posted. Ma was kept very busy with work & our move. Now that she's finished work she's got time to get the packing organised. I must say I'm getting very "edgy" with all the noise & stuff moving around. Gotta get back to doing Dogga again to stay calm.
Anyway, Ma took pictures of some items that she wants to sell; so please feel free to "browse" through. Prices are on the pictures. Leave Ma your contact on her email @ shel_graham@yahoo.com.sg if you want to put your paws on any of them. Act fast 'cos she may throw in some "freebies" for early birds! So here we go...

Confirmation & Conformation

2008-03-19T22:30:00.002+08:00

After waiting 18hrs, we finally got a confirmation on our flight status. YES, we got our wings! The airline confirmed that we are all (kitty sissies included of cos) able to fly on Cargo Hold with MaMa & PaPa on the 28th April 2008! It is now official.

There are too many conformations we had to follow for this move. From getting shots even when we don't need them, staying in a crate when we can behave ourselves perfectly well, no access to food 12hrs before flight and the list goes on. It's just too daunting for free-spirited creatures like us. The hoomans just don't get it, do they.

Anyway, THE CRATE arrived yesterday. What do you think? Quite spiffy eh?!

MaMa wanted us to chew on our mutton bones in it. I don't think I will ever get use to this. I was dying to get out of the crate so I can truly enjoy my bone. Look at how uncomfortable I am.

Ditzy Kaylie, on the other hand, was making herself quite comfortable within seconds. Just look at her... What can I say...

We are glad that things are starting to fall into place. Paws crossed buddies, 'cos there's still lots that needs to happen.

Ahhhh.... the sun....

2008-03-15T22:00:00.002+08:00

Boy, did we wait long enough for sunny weather. It had been raining everyday for almost 2 weeks now. It was miserable as you can imagine & we were bored to tears. Almost going insane from zero socialisation. Walkies were pathetic since it was mostly in the drizzle for 5-10mins before it starts to pour again.

So today, we woke up to sunny weather. We went trotting towards the dog run hoping to meet some friends. First thing first, Kaylie had to take a long pee...
Followed by a "25 seconds small dump"...
Please ignore the little tune that Ma came up with for Kaylie's poo routine. She too was going coo coo from all the rain.

I, being the smart one, decided to hold my business until I reach the dog run. That's the only way I can get away from Ma's evil camera.
Argh!!! She out smart me! There you have it, my "10 seconds small dump".

Let's move on to the socialising part of the morning. As expected, there were quite a few dogs at the park today. I had a little "stare down" with a Cockle Spaniel while Kaylie was busy being herself.

Overall it was a great morning. Lotsa sun & lotsa fun. I'll leave you with 2 more pictures...

Patiently waiting...

2008-02-24T16:35:00.000+08:00

Hi there pals, Ma's been to busy with the CNY celebration & work to help us with our blog. At least that's what she said but I serioiusly think she's just being lazy.

On a more serious note, Ma is pulling hair with trying to sell our pad. There's this thing with the bank & lawyer & bank & lawyer, there seem to be no end.

Sweetie PaPa can so feel Ma's frustration & he sent her a really nice bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day.
It certainly put a big smile on Ma's face.

Pa also took tonnes of pictures of the snow. Can't wait to roll around in the fluffy white snow!

There was this snow storm & it covered almost a whole car!
I think I can use my "power jet" to melt them, you think?!

I wonder if it'll be toooooo coooooold for us to go for our nightly walkies?!

Xing Nien Kuai Le, Wan Shi Ru Yi

2008-02-07T09:00:00.002+08:00

Hey everypup, kitty & hammie... Kaylie & I would like to wish all of you a very Healthy & Happy Lunar New Year!

Not much fuss for us this year except the bath. I still don't understand why I need to have a bath middle of the week just 'cos it's New Year AGAIN?! Anyway, I'm just glad I didn't have to put on ridiculous outfits.

Ma took some pictures on Sat around the market where she gets our din din. It was quite buzzing with life. Pa took pictures arond Chinatown in TO as well. Let see if you can spot which belongs to the tropical island. Ma says it's a TOUGH one! ***eye roll***

Now, for those who watch Grey's Anatomy with their humans, please bark along with me - "SERIOUSLY!" How TOUGH was that, huh?!
***major eye roll***

It was a beautiful day out so Ma took along the camera on our walkies. Here's a view from the park we take our walkies daily.

Ma also took a video of us walking along. Let me warn you, it is VERY shaky so if you just had something to eat please check back later!

Put on some wings & set it free!

2008-02-01T22:10:00.000+08:00

Now Now Now, where do I begin...
In my last post, I mentioned about finding "wings". See, Pa got himself some "wings" & flew to TO; Canada on 21st Jan. We miss him lots! Kaylie & I had been bugging Ma to get all of us some wings too so we can fly over soon to meet him. That was what Ma was busy with for the past weeks.

What about setting "it" free?! Well, Ma was sworn to secrecy about our big move to Canada. She sure is glad that she can finally share the exciting news with all her friends & colleagues! They are all happy for us & said they'll visit if they happen to come our way. That is just fantastic!

Anyway, Pa was quite on with all his priorities. First, hunt down a job. Next, find the best place for Kaylie & I to hang out. He had taken some pictures for our approval....

Just incase we have any ouchies...

Looks like we are pretty set. I guess the last thing is to make sure we've got nice winter outfits...

Same same but different

2008-01-27T23:00:00.000+08:00

We've been slacking & Ma has been busy finding us some "wings". More about that later. We didn't do anything exciting during the week except our daily walkies to the dog park. Since it's been raining quite a bit during the day, there weren't many doggies for me to bark at.

Since Ma was feeling a little guilty, she decided to bring us to the beach; AGAIN! I say yipee! Ma took pictures, of 'cos, & really they are all but the same from the rest of the pictures I've posted before but Ma begs to differ. She said they are "same same but different". So here we go again, pictures of our outting to the beach on yet another beautiful Sunday morning...
First up, Jose & Bond having a swim in the cool water.

Next, we have Vegas trying to get catch up to Bond.

Here's me trying to get away so the two "lovebirds" can have a little alone time.

While Bond is busy digging away...

& Jose feeling a little "grumpy" cos Bond pushed him under the water...

We, the "opportunists" took the front row seat for some yummy treats!

The "smartness" runs in the family, if I may say so myself.

Ok, time for a snooze now. Hope you all had a great weekend as well!

Sunny side up? Not quite...

2008-01-18T22:50:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday in the chat room I said we had egg for brekkie. Yup, it was yummilious! Was it a sunny side up? Not really. It was an 8 minute egg. Most of you will know it as 3 minute egg since you would have boiled it but MaMa has this crazy thing about pouring boiled water into a bowl with the egg in it & let it sit for 8 minute. So this was it...
The only sunny side up we got was a fine day at the beach! Yet another perfect day, what can I say. Since we've been there done that so MaMa decided that we should take pictures of us "buried" in the soft sand. So this is me being obliging to MaMa's request.

1 minute later, tada...

MaMa did the same to Kaylie but she wasn't a very coorperative pup. We tried "burying" her a few times but this is the best shot.

Well, MaMa finally gave up so she made her sit nice for a picture but she was very engrossed with sniffing out some crumps. When she finally looked up she didn't look anywhere pretty. Check out her nose / lip...
There was really no luck with taking good pictures with Kaylie so make a wild guess, what was plan C.
Yup, I was asked to pose AGAIN! No bones for right guess since I bet all of you got it!
MaMa says the last picutre was for Bussie's momsie cos she likes me. Thank you Bussie mommy.

Din din...

2008-01-09T21:45:00.000+08:00

Some of us were chatting about food tradition on New Year's Eve / Day. We are a very simple family. Ma & Pa will have their bubbles with some cheese & crackers while we get yummy oxtail. And that was what we got this New Year's Day.

Here's our din din on New Year's Day...

They were so juicy! We got 2 pieces each, about 250g worth! See we get about 100 - 130g for our usual din din, so U can imagine how excited we were!

This was us chomping away!
So there you go, our NYD din din tradition!

Love the Equator!

2008-01-05T12:50:00.000+08:00

Hey there pals, a little slacking on the "post" front here. I think we're still "hungover" from all the activities during the past few weeks.

So we went to the beach (yes, I know. Not news anymore but we LOVE it!) on the 30th Dec 2007. It was a gorgeous day out. We swam for almost 3 hours! You can imagine we were totally poop'd by the time we got home. I'll let the pictures tell you the story...

As you can see, we met up with not only Vegas but also 2 other friends. The first black dog is Mandy and it was the 2nd time we met up at the beach. The 2nd black dog is a new friend. He is another Singapore special named Marmite. Isn't he cute? Can you tell he has got a little Rottie in him? He just turned 1 & Kaylie was a little intimidated by him. Kaylie had a little "spat" with Mandy too & we assume it started cos Kaylie was looking for scraps on the beach & she didn't like it that Mandy was close by. What's with b*tches???

Christmas pressie from my love

2007-12-25T19:40:00.000+08:00

Hello every pup, kitty & hamsterrier, Jaffe & I would like to wish every one of you a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

I hope Santa brought all of you lotsa treats & toys! We got them!

There were sooo many pressie to open but I smell one from Jaffa, my love. *shy shy*

I can smell him on the package & I begged MaMa to let me open that first! The package made this noise when MaMa puts her paw on it. I don't quite know what to make of it! Once it is open & I saw what was in it, I LOVE IT! Thank you Jaffa, it is the bestest gift I got this year! It beats what MaMa got for us, well the treats are still the bestestest. PaPa put together a short clip to show how I LOVE the new toy!

Well, Jaffe on the other hand, was BZ sulking away cos MaMa had refuse him the kookie that came with the package. See I got a shot at the kookie but I couldn't figure out how to open it. Jaffe tried to help & that was when MaMa took it away from him. Yup, that's my meanie MaMa.

(MaMa: Thank you Jaffa for the lovely ball, Kaylie is treating it like her security blanket now although she's managed to "kill" the squeak. Sunshade, thank you for the soccer ball. We'll bring it to the park so we can all have a game of soccer. I don't have to say anything about the kookie cos U know they enjoyed it tremendously!)

So much activities...

2007-12-22T23:45:00.000+08:00

Yup, there had been so much activities at home but none involved me nor Kaylie!

There were wrapping of pressies (none of them mine; according to MaMa), hair trimming & coloring (which I'm glad I'm not involved in), facials (whatever that is), spas (I'd like that), Mani & Pedi (whatever happen to a 2hr run on all fours)

Anyway, MaMa came home one day with tonnes of wrappers; a head of red streaky hair on another; creamy tasting face & body on the 3rd & today she asked us to STAY AWAY from her paws!

What's with her paws you may ask. This is her big deal...

Where have we been?!

2007-12-13T21:00:00.000+08:00

Hello all... It's been such a long time since I last posted. I missed all of you. MaMa has been so busy at work & the wet weather didn't help. We haven't been doing much actually, just lazing around at home.

Last Sat, MaMa finally got some time for us. Yipee! We were all excited until she said "It's time to groom the both of you. You need to look good for the Xmas card." Oh, bummer! As you can imagine, she spent almost the whole morning stripping us till we are bald!

We proceed to take some pictures for our Xmas card. I know, I know, it is very late but we are trying our best.

Due to the wet weather, the lighting was awful & we were really not very happy after all that "torture".

Here are some shots that were rejected...

Boring week...

2007-11-22T22:00:00.000+08:00

It's been raining raining quite a bit. We ended up staying at home most of the time. Only short walkie in the evenings. Night walkie were out of the picture cos it had been raining raining at night too.

Since there was no where to go, I snooze snooze most of the time...
Just as I was drifting off to dreamland, I can "see" the flashing light in my face. It was really annoying. I decided to show MaMa my annoyance by showing her the "corner of the eye" look...
She took the hint & focused her attention on the kitties...
You can imagine how bored we were now?!

Kaylie Kaylie signing off...

PS: Oops, forgot to mention my wound is about 75% healed. Hope there won't be any scarring.

I'm better now...

2007-11-15T21:30:00.000+08:00

Hello all. Me, Kaylie, gets to blog again. I want to thank all of you for the concern, kisses & licks. I'm feeling better now. The JRT owner called MaMa & she is very apologetic for what happened.

2 days after the incident, my wound started to heal...
It looked pretty raw but improving.

Day 4, scab formed...

I had to wear the "cone" while MaMa & PaPa are at work & bedtime. MaMa said I can have it off as long as she is able to keep an eye on me. Little did she expect...
So we rough house, that's just what we do. Well, I have to admit that I instigated the whole play & so I paid for it. This is my wound after the "play"...

I had a ball of a time with Jaffe but MaMa was reasonably upset. I hope she won't make me wear the cone 24 7 until I recover. I promise to be good MaMa & I'll take my vitamin E to help the healing process. Sorry MaMa, I like rough housing.

I screeched!!!

2007-11-11T21:20:00.000+08:00

Hello there again... (sob...sob) This is Kaylie posting again. Today started off just perfect. It was sunny but not too warm. The park was semi dry so we could run around without getting too dirty to warrant a bath. We then went to the beach where we all chilled out.

By the time we were done @ the beach it was time for our late afternoon "run in the park" time! It sounded too good to be true! A whole day of fun fun & more fun!!! Unfortunately, it wasn't as fun as we all thought.

5mins into the park, mind you it was the park we visit EVERYDAY except rainy days, came a squeal & I was fighting with a JRT. Jaffe came over to give me a paw until MaMa & PaPa pulled us apart. I accidentally hurt PaPa a little during the process. They couldn't figure out why I was so peeved. They thought I had aggrevated the JRT but turned out, it was because she bit me! They didn't even realise I was bleeding until Jaffe walked to me & "pointed" out to them my bleeding wound. So I was the one who screeched 'cos of the bite!

Here's a picture...

We rushed to the vet & was told I can either just let it heal by itself but may take a long time cos of the deep gash or I can have it stitched up. MaMa is quite against putting me under GA unless absolutely necessary. She is so torn now cos she's afraid the wound may get infected & turn out to be worse but letting me go through GA just for 2 stitches just doesn't sit right with her. She will decide tmr morning depending on how the wound look.

She tried contacting the JRT owner but no response. I think the owner should know what kind of "damage" her dog is capable of & should keep a close eye when socialising it.

I gotta go take a rest now. The wound is still bleeding a bit, MaMa says I shouldn't be moving too much.

Holiday!!!

2007-11-10T21:40:00.000+08:00

Hello hello... this is Kaylie posting. I want to start with a message to Jaffa. "Jaffa Jaffa, where are you? Are you alright? I miss you!" It's been almost 2 months since I last heard from Jaffa Jaffa. I hope he is doing fine & he will tell us what he's been up too soon.

Thur, 8th was a public holiday in Singapore so we braved the drizzle & headed down to the beach. It was quite gloomy & was still drizzling when we got there but it didn't stop us from having fun! The tide was high & we used up lots of energy swimming in the strong current.
Make a guess. Was I sleeping or caught rolling in the sand?!

PaPa threw a booboorang. It was suppose to come back but it was booboo so I had to go fetch it instead.

PaPa & MaMa came back with a huge box this afternoon. Jaffe & I were so excited to see it. Can you guess from the box what was in it?

Yeah!!! Xmas came early this year!!!Just look at what was in the box!!!

Unfortunately, MaMa said we can have them 1 month & 14 days later. Bummer...

Not too ON for us...

2007-11-04T22:20:00.000+08:00

We woke up with excitement knowing that we'll be going for the DASH in the afternoon. Check out the dogs & hoomans waiting around for the DASH to start!
We, on the other hand, like to check out where the treats are!
At 5pm sharp, we set off!!! ON ON every pup!!!

Just 5mins into the DASH, we got covered in burrs & it was nasty!!! MaMa & PaPa tried to get as much off our faces but there's no getting rid of them, it seems. We ran into the stream of water hoping to wash them off...

Although the burrs were still stuck to our fur, it didn't feel as itchy after the quick dip. The run had to go ON (no pun intended)... During the run, we took time to smell the grass?!

By the end of the DASH, MaMa's sneakers were filthy.

Overall, we had a fun day except the burrs. Burrs are not ON!!!

More fun time

2007-10-30T21:30:00.000+08:00

Needless to say, we had more fun time at the beach on Sunday. This time we had Mandy join us at the beach. She is a very sweet "Singapore Special". Here she is...

Isn't she the sweetest! I hope she can join us more often at the beach.

As usual, I went hunting for my "prey" and I found it quite easily.

PaPa was having a snooze & we thought we should give him a coat of "sunblock" on his face just in case...

Overall it was a wonderful day at the beach. I wish everyday was as sunny as this.

I have good news!!!

2007-10-23T22:00:00.000+08:00

Hello every pup, hamsterrier & kitty... This is Kaylie Kaylie blogging today!

A couple of weeks ago, MaMa noticed I was licking/chewing at my paw obsessively. Before she knew it, a lump started to form...

MaMa freaked out & brought me to the vet last Sat. She was so paranoid, she thought it was some cancerous growth... *eye roll* Handsome vet had a good chuckle & said it was due to my obsessive licking / chewing, the skin had thickened. There was a little imflamation so I had to take some anti-biotic to get rid of it. MaMa suggested to the vet that I was suffering from OCD. If I was "Overall Cutest Dog" how's that suffering?! She's a nut case I tell 'ya.

Also, the vet ordered for a scrape test to check if the Mange situation is under control and guess what?! NO MORE BUG BUGS!!! I'm the happiest!!!

To celebrate, we went to Sentosa on Sunday. I had sooooo much fun. Jaffe & I rough house on the beach...
Then I decided it was time for a good roll in the sand...

Vegas did his fair share of rolling around too. MaMa took pictures of Vegas & me with our sandy faces to see who will top the "cutest" chart...

Since I beat Vegas hands down, he got a little petty & did the unthinkable... (oh, please ignore the scary laughter of MaMa & definitely ignore her comment at the end!!!)

It's pay back time!!!

2007-10-18T21:30:00.000+08:00

Now now now... Enough of the "awwwww, Vegas is so cute." It's time I got some love. I so deserve it. Let me tell you why.

See, in the litter of 4 males, I'm number 2 & Vegas number 4. As the "baby" of the lot he drank the most milk. He was bigger than me as a puppy growing up & now he is still bigger built than me. Whatever happened to fairness.

Since I had a chance to meet up with him, I took matters into my own paws. I have to show him it is not the size that counts. I dominate the pack and that's what I do, always. Let me show you my stuff.

See, that evil MaMa said "Jaffe, don't do that to Vegas." being the good boy that I am, I stopped.

I had great fun at the beach. I ran around, I swam, I rolled, I did anything & everything that sends MaMa's eyes rolling! That was great!!! Here are some pix of my wild time...

That was fun. I hope we'll go there again soon.

Alright, I was just kidding about Vegas being the brat. I love him to bits. Here's another of MaMa's favourite pictures.

This one's for you...

2007-10-14T20:45:00.000+08:00

I dedicate this post to Vegas. As I said in the last post, we went to Sentosa & met up with Vegas. We had a fantastic time; swam lots, ate lots & took loads of pictures. There were sooooo many pictures it was so hard to choose which to post. After looking through all of them 7 times, I shortlisted 10...

I want to start off with a couple of close ups of Vegas; including one "artsy" shot.

It was Vegas' first time at the beach so MaMa carried him into the water. He is a natural swimmer.

'Cos Vegas was such a good kid, MaMa said all of us could have a treat or 2 as reward.

While we were waiting for our turn, Vegas decided to say "hello" to Kaylie.
We went for a few more rounds of swim & Vegas was getting a little tired. He was lagging a little so Kaylie & I took turns to make sure he was keeping up.

Back on shore, Vegas decided to take a rest with his hooman sissy Anna.

I'll leave all of you with this very last picture...

(Jaffe's MaMa: Vegas & this lovely family are both very lucky to have "found" each other. When I saw this last picture, it almost brought tears to my eyes. It's so heartwarming to see such love. So pure & unconditional)

He ain't heavy, he's my brother...

2007-10-13T07:50:00.000+08:00

Hey there pals, just to let all of you know that my brother (yes, same litter) has been looking for a new forever home for some time now. Last week, he went to meet up with this wonderful family who is now totally "in love" with him.

It's been a week now & I think he is there to stay!!!

Kaylie & I have a play date with him @ Sentosa in an hours time. Will take loads of pictures of course.

Before we leave for Sentosa, I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of Vegas.

Sing along with me... Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas...

Do we look alike or do we look alike?!

ON ON

2007-10-08T22:00:00.000+08:00

We went ON ON last Sat & it was great fun. MaMa tried out her camera & it worked just fine except for her shaky hands.

I'll splash a few pictures & U will know what fun we had!!!

Need I say more?

PS: We go "double shower". Yup, shampoo x 2 for Kaylie & me! Darn...

Dry run...

2007-10-03T22:30:00.000+08:00

I've got quite a few comments for the last post, asking for pictures pictures pictures. Indeed, MaMa tested the camera with shots of us after a bath! Now you know why I was so reluctant to post anything?!

After some "consideration", I decided; what the hack...

Not very flattering at all, I know. Now, why pictures of us wet from shower?! That was MaMa's way of testing out the waterproof function... **eye roll**

To boot, she decided to have us wear T-shirt to the park on Monday night. Then she took pictures of us in it after we got home...

Kaylie's outfit was bought when she was still a wee pup. It is a little tight on her...

Thank Dogness I didn't have to wear my "MaMa's little Boy" t-shirt. No offense but I look so gay in it.

New toy...

2007-09-30T22:30:00.000+08:00

Yup U heard right. We've got new toy! However, this toy is not really for Kaylie nor me. It's more for Mama.

See, she has been whining about not being able to take pictures of us wherever & whenever she wants. PaPa's Canon SLR is just to chunky for her & it is not waterproof. So Papa took Mama out on a little shopping tour to get her very own waterproof; "point-shoot" camera. And here it is...

For those who want to read about it, google Olympus 790SW

MaMa still couldn't figure out the waterproof part but we'll definitely be bringing it out rain or shine. We'll post pictures from the camera soon.

On guard duty...

2007-09-23T22:00:00.000+08:00

We hadn't been doing much lately since PaPa got the Conjuntivitis bug. He is finally recovering but poor MaMa got it a few days ago. This thing is nasty! MaMa said no licking the face & no snuggling up. It sucked, big time.

MaMa felt so bad for Kaylie & me, she decided it was time to make us some treats. She loves to dehydrate liver, lungs, heart & sometimes yummy fishy. So we woke up early Saturday morning & headed off to the market!!!

We got home by noon & MaMa layed the "parts" onto the tray then straight onto the dehydrater aka "best friend"...
Ok, there are 3 different things you see here. The pale yellow one is the mutton tripe. The almost black one is mutton heart & the other one is mutton lungs. They are the yummiest!!!

Next, MaMa threw some of the liver on the tray...
They smell delish! It gives off a very milky smell throughout the drying process.

Kaylie & I were very busy guarding & checking the drying process...

Let me tell you, it wasn't easy since the drying process takes up to 18hrs. The liver is always the hardest to dry.

Ok, I gotta go now cos MaMa is about to "harvest" the 2nd batch. This time it's beef lungs. Ciao for now!!!

Slacks...

2007-09-18T22:00:00.000+08:00

I know, I know. It's been awhile since I barked. No need to go into any detail, I blame it on MaMa; period.

She, my friends, had crossed the line. Not only was she not helpful with my blog; she decided to give me a "stripping". As if that wasn't bad enough, she wanted me to "smile" for the camera after all was done. Apawling, I call it.

So, after 20mins of hair pulling agony, this was what she got off me.

Not much, some of you might say. I thank Dog that MaMa likes me to look a little "messy" so she doesn't "over do it"...
And of course the "smile for the camera now"...
Silly Kaylie decided to "smile for the camera" too. (I smile for Jaffa Jaffa!!! See I happy happy now, Jaffa Jaffa.)

She had on this pathetic look when MaMa said it will be her turn for hair pulling soon.
Then for no rhyme or reason, she started to "attack" me!

Jaffa, would you like to take her in NOW?!

Run Run Run again

2007-09-02T21:00:00.000+08:00

The whole family (except my kittie sisters) went on the DASH yesterday. It was fun fun fun. Again we didn't have a camera with us 'cos it has been raining quite a bit recently. Not only did it not rain on our run, it was pretty hot. I was so thirsty that I drank the STINKY water from the drain! Yuks, I know but wait till you hear what MaMa drank from.

Anyway, after an hour of great run we were treated to some carrots, cucumber & celery. MaMa said it's good for us. I thought a steak at that point was more appropriate! We then headed home after the hoomans chatted & snacked.

So this was me after the run...
And Kaylie...
I didn't think we looked dirty AT ALL but noooooo, MaMa said we were in some really filthy water so we had to take a shower before we were allowed on the bed for a nap. Did I mention I HATE BATHs?! Let me say it.... I HATE BATHs!!!
After 15mins of torture...

Seriously, I didn't think we were any cleaner. Infact, we felt worse than before the bath... humiliating...

Speaking of humiliation, I got a good one to tell. See, after the DASH, the hoomans had a "circle meeting". They get "charged" for anything under the sun & they will have to drink some beer out of a dog bowl. So someone, Kingsley's Ma to be exact, spotted MaMa with her spankin new Nike Air Assail IV before the run started. MaMa didn't have time to "characterise" the sneakers before the DASH!!! BIG MISTAKE. So at the "circle meeting" MaMa had to drink beer out of her shoe!!! She was given a choice of drinking from her shoe or through her sock. Which would you choose?! Let me show you the condition of the shoes after the run...

Did someone say drinking from drain was disgusting?

OMDog!!!

2007-08-29T21:45:00.000+08:00

Hello hello... this is Kaylie blogging. A few days ago, we got a little note from the postman stating we've got "bulk item" that couldn't fit in our mailbox. MaMa took the note & went to the post office today. To her dismay, they couldn't locate the said "bulky item". Little did she know the postman had tried to deliver the "bulky item" again while she was at work!!!

So MaMa came home to this...

I was super excited to open it but MaMa said I am too clumpsy so she had to help me. The first thing we saw was a lovely note from the handsome JaffaMan...

He is the most lovely boy. **blush**

MaMa opened up the poster & OMDog, it is the most awesome. You'll have to see it to know how I felt when I saw it!!!

(MaMa: Actually Kaylie was trying to figure out who & what it smells like. I was the one in awe... hahaha)

Thank you so much JaffaMan. You ARE the sweetest indeed. I hope our Disney dream will come true soon!!! **blush blush**

It's MY turn!!!

2007-08-25T22:15:00.000+08:00

Hello hello everyone. Jaffe said I get to write MY OWN post today. I want to tell you pups out there the fantastic time we had @ the beach on National Day. This post is quite a bit late cos Jaffe won't let me. Anyway, I think a picture speaks a thousand words. So here we go...

Uncle N is a really good photographer. He makes me look uber good. Oh, can you see my little paddle under the water?!

No picture of Jaffe cos this post is MINE!!!

Anyway, on our walkies this morning, we spotted a giant shroom growing again. MaMa managed to take a picture before bratty Jaffe pee'd on it.

MaMa said no eating it. Darn, I love cream of shrooms!

Oh, MaMa brought a paper pooch home today.
I got a little jealous but MaMa said it's just a BD card so no need for any jealousy. Phew...

Ok pups, I need to continue with my tendon. Teddy is waiting for me...

We missed the chat!!!

2007-08-20T22:00:00.000+08:00

Last missed the chat last evening. I'm reasonably upset as you can imagine but I chose to forgive. It was MaMa's Burpday last Saturday & PaPa had brought her to enjoy a nice Brunch yesterday. So, together with a few of MaMa's work collegue, the out the went. They didn't return till almost 11pm. MaMa fed us & crashed.

Kaylie & I stayed close to her in bed, just in case she felt sick from all the drinking & eating. She was fine. Slept like a baby.

She got a couple of pressies & had ask me to post the pictures...

Here's a keychain from Aunty R & Aunty J. Aunty R is really good at her crafts...

This one is from Aunty E. Notice they seem to like kitties...

So what did PaPa get for MaMa's burpday?! Brand new smile!!! Yes, MaMa's braces is off. MaMa will get her teeth "lightened" by 4 - 6 shades courtesy of PaPa. MaMa is sure happy about her new smile! I love it too. I can steal a kissy or 2 when she smiles without cutting my tongue.

Strike a pose

2007-08-11T21:00:00.000+08:00

Today, MaMa came home with a big bag of tendons. 2kg of deer tendons and 1kg of pig tendons for Kaylie & me. They look yummilicious.

We keep watch while she packed them away. MaMa got a little soft & decided to give us one each as a snack. She then came up with a crazy idea. She wanted to see how many different expressions she can capture while we chew on the tendons. So here we go...

That's all for me MaMa, leave me alone to my tendon please. Go bug Kaylie...

She is a big girl now!

More Pressies

2007-08-06T21:10:00.000+08:00

Last Thursday MaMa received a big white package in the mail. It was addressed to Kaylie. Since Kaylie is a bit of a duh duh, MaMa decided she will open it up instead.

Look what Kaylie got from Baby & Boy!!!

A couple of day before this, she got a lovely squeaky from Bobbie. It was a scuba monkey. I love it!!! I meant Kaylie loves it...
Thank you Baby, Boy & Bobbie (all the Bs... so coincidental) I love the pressies. Burpdays are nice!!! Can I have a burpday every week??? Please!!!

Puppy will always be puppy.

Time's up & Burpday...

2007-07-26T22:20:00.000+08:00

Remember I was talking about no treats for 5 years? I kept thinking, was MaMa talking hooman years, doggie years or GirlGirl years. "Doing time" was so tough. There was no treats, the weather was horrible, the path where we go for walkies was soaking wet. It was just miserable.

Just as I was about to sink into depression, MaMa brought back a bag of goodies...
I think MaMa was talking about 5 hooman DAYS! Thank goodness.

Wait, my turn to "speak". All the goodies are for ME! It is MY Burpday and all those things you see are MINE! Keep your stinky paws away from them!

What a bitch she has become. What's gonna happen when she turns 2, 3 ,4...

Ok, I'll let you take a picture with the goodies and have a bite of my dinner.

Instead of baking, MaMa got Kaylie a piece of oxtail for din din. I, too, got a piece. They are the yummiest!!!

After din din, MaMa made us take pictures with the loot before we can dig into them...

Since Kaylie is the Burpday Girl, she got to eat it first!

And finally, it was my turn!

The following pictures will tell you what happened after the biscuit...

Jaffe was just trying to make me look bad so please ignore him. I want to say "thank you" for all the well wishes. Licks Licks to you.

Shrooms & Coach

2007-07-21T21:00:00.000+08:00

Hey there pals, it's been awhile since we got the use of the laptop. MaMa was either too lazy or going out too much. So today I issued her the ultimatum - either I get laptop time or I'll put some fang marks on your new bag. It wasn't a difficult choice so here I am.

Anyway, we have not been up to much. Just lazing around going for our usual walkies at night, meeting some friends at the park, run around a little & of 'cos power naps. On one of our walkies, I noticed some shrooms growing...
I'd like to think my pee pee contributed to it's growth. Now, I took a sniff at the shroom but it is no shitake & so I left it alone. Kaylie did the same & she too, didn't think too much of it. Only MaMa was facinated & kept trying to take pictures with her phone.

Now, I mentioned earlier about a new bag. MaMa had been busy shopping for bags, both in the shops & online. After much hunting, she came home on Friday with this...
She was smiling from ear to ear. I wasn't. She said I'll have to go without treats for the next 5years 'cos she just spent it on that bag. hmmmmph....

We Rock!

2007-07-14T23:30:00.000+08:00

Thank you Butchy & Snowball for awarding both of us with the Rockin' Blogger award. We are so honoured. I think MaMa will need to dehydrate some yummy treats in celebration!

So here I am, Jaffe, the Rockin' Guy Blogger...

Oh, me turn me turn. Kaylie Kaylie girl say thank you thank you. I Rock Rock!!!

Puppy no more...

2007-07-10T22:45:00.000+08:00

MaMa was looking through all the pictures that she had taken of me when I was tiny. I've since grown ALOT!!!

This was me when I was a tinnie little puppy...

Then I was feather weight & last Saturday when I was at the vet, MaMa put me on the scale. I now weigh 7.3kg/16lbs!!! (Jaffe is now 7.5kg/16.5lbs) MaMa said I'm almost fully grown now. In 16days' time, I'll be a lady. I was so proud of myself; I decided to hunt down (actually killed) a rat yesterday; to show MaMa how capable I can be. She wasn't too impress cos she said rats are yucky & I shouldn't even think of holding them in my mouth. Ya whatever MaMa, don't be a whimp.

So there you go peeps, I'm a big girl now!

Kaylie Kaylie me me

2007-07-08T21:40:00.000+08:00

Hello Hello everyone. I have good news!!! MaMa brought me to the vet vet yesterday for another scrappy. The vet vet said all the nasty mite mites are gone gone. No more eekky eekky mite mites on Kaylie Kaylie!!!

MaMa said all the yummy yummy pills helped kill the mite mites but I said Jaffa & Qila ate all of them!

Going to the vet vet made me tired tired so I took a nap nap with Jaffe...

Vitamins!!!

2007-07-02T21:45:00.000+08:00

Yet another weekend gone by. MaMa was quite busy with shopping. See, MaMa wanted to buy everything before the GST (Goods & Services Tax) increased & of course she had to wait till the last couple of days to do it.

Since Kaylie's vitamins will cost MaMa a bomb, so that was her first stop...
Yup, all the above are for Kaylie. MaMa said I can share a little with her & so can PaPa.

Then on Sunday, being a gorgeous sunny day, PaPa suggested going to East Coast Park together!!! I say yeah to going out & so did Kaylie, and out we went to get some Vitamin D. So here are some picutres we took.

After brunch, we went chilling by the beach...

2007-06-24T21:33:00.000+08:00

I, Kaylie, went to see the vet vet yesterday. Handsome vet vet wasn't around so we saw the pretty vet vet instead.

On the way to the vet vet. Waiting for the moving box to bring us downstairs...

So, they did a skin scrape on 3 spots; head, body & paw. It took them a long time to look for the mite mite. Finally, it was the moment of truth. The mite mite are all dead dead & they have dropped of my body body!!! Thank you Thank you Jaffa & Qila for eating the mite mite & flies flies. U killed killed all of them!!!

The vet vet said I'll need to go back in 2 weeks to make sure no more mite mite jump back on to my body. So Jaffa Jaffa, you have to keep eating all the mite mite & flies flies when you see them ok?!

MaMa said I can keep my fur fur growing. I'll look pretty again soon... See...
Jose & Jaffa, wait wait for my fur fur to grow ok?!

MaMa brought Jaffe & I to our favourite pet shop. Jaffe thought he would try out the Bungalow they "built"...

By the end of the evening we were all tire tired. Jaffe was trying to get cozy cozy with me taking a nap nap...

Boring week

2007-06-21T23:00:00.000+08:00

Hello hello... I am Kaylie. Jaffe said I have to write like an adult otherwise he will take over. So far ok?

MaMa said I will be going to see handsome vet this Saturday. They will check the mite mite on my body. See, I'm still quite itchy from the mite mite. They like to stick to my paws. I hope they will be gone soon.

We had our shower today. Jaffe hates the shower. I don't mind the water except when it takes too long I get impatient.

Here's Jaffe looking all sad & fluffy...

Too be honest, I don't see him being angry nor sad about the shower. The first picture is really an act. He is so hoping MaMa will give him some treat treat to coax him. What a "schemer"

I, on the other hand, wasn't too impressed with MaMa trying to take pictures while I'm still trying to dry off...

Yup, MaMa said I need braces for my teeth. My front teeth are not "perfect". I hope Jaffa & Jose don't mind this little flaw of mine.

Anyway, my "showing teeth" didn't stop the trigger so I decided to show MaMa how boring it is to just sit there while she clicks away... Boring...

Puppy Love

2007-06-13T22:00:00.000+08:00

Today MaMa came home all excited. She started waiving a package at us as she walked in the door. It's my 2nd package from Sunshade!!! Yup, with Kaylie's "love letter" from JaffaMan. Allow me to digress. How is it that I'm 3 & I'm JaffeBOY but Jaffa is bearly 1 & he is JaffaMAN???

MaMa didn't allow us to open the package just cos she's super paranoid. "What if you tear up the good stuff?!" She says everytime. I think she is just deprived of opening packages since she has hardly any.

Kaylie was all excited when she saw JaffaMan had written her name on the envelope. She was sure her "love letter" was in there.

After MaMa opened the package, there was of cos the customary photography session which in my opinion was 'so not necessary'.

See, I got the cool bone shape tag & the collar in my favouritest color.

Me love love the red red collar & heart heart tag from Jaffa Jaffa. I told MaMa to lemonade Jaffa's note note to me!!! (Laminate! Laminate!)

Don't they look good on our beautiful neck against our beautiful fur?

Thank you Sunshade!

Thank you Thank you Jaffa Jaffa!

Vet & Vex

2007-06-11T21:00:00.000+08:00

MaMa brought Kaylie to the vet last Saturday. They did a little skin scrape on 2 spots on her body. What we want to hear is all the mites are dead but unfortunately they found a couple of live ones. A couple of options were given but we are not gonna take the pill popping route for now. We'll give Kaylie some time to build up her immunity through proper supplements & food. Her next scrape will be in 2 weeks time so paws crossed peeps.

Anyway, MaMa & PaPa went out on their own on Sunday to the "hooman beach". It was indeed a gorgeous day...

They were out for about 3 hours before they head to the "pasah malam" (night market in Malay) where MaMa got really excited about some cute stickers...

So that was quite a boring weekend for Kaylie & I. We hope this coming weekend will be better.

DASH, CRASH, BASH

2007-06-04T20:40:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps, sorry for the "non update". See, MaMa had to do work from home for the whole of last week so I didn't get any blogging time.

I know MaMa felt really bad so she brought us to yet another DASH (doggie version of HASH). It was the greatest. We ran for about an hour on quite a "challenging" terrain; for some anyway.

Now both PaPa & MaMa didn't think bringing the camera is a good idea, so I have no pictures of the great hike to share. Just as well 'cos PaPa was trying hard to keep up to Kaylie & I, so U can imagine it was impossible to take a picture of us anyway. Now, what about MaMa, U may ask. She was hopeless! She could hardly keep up to us let alone taking pictures. To make matters worse, she slipped & tripped. Not once, not twice but THREE times!!!

First, she got a scratch on her shin...

Then, she got another on her knee...

The worst was on the third time. She got a big bruise on her thigh...

I would love to lick them all well except I was poop'd from all that exercise...

What a Sunday...

2007-05-27T19:50:00.000+08:00

It was a gorgeous day. We had a lazy sleep in this morning & in the afternoon we went for some agility workshop. We took a, "close to 50mins", walk to the "agility centre". Boy, was it hot hot hot.

Since we were early, we got to watch as the other doggies strolled in. In about half an hour, the place was packed with doggies. I was too tired thou' to check every single one out, so only a selected few got my attention.

First up, Poodle Pup (sorry, didn't get his name)...

Next up... There was no next up. You gotta understand, 50mins walking under the scotching sun (about 34 celsius, 93F) I really didn't care for much more than shelter & ice cold water.

So, the workshop started with some demo from the experts & before U know it, it was our turn to give the course a go. So this was me (& Kaylie) jumping some easy peasy hurdle...

You see, it was first time for alot of the doggies who attended so they had to make it really easy. I'm no stranger to agility except I didn't really take to the weaving poles. See, I could jump quite high...

We then moved on to the "collapsable tunnel". Again I had no problem but Kaylie wasn't too keen on going thru. MaMa had to do a "The Ring" just so Kaylie would go thru the tunnel with her...

Mind U, MaMa had just gotten her Mani & Pedi, hair & facial done on Sat, so she wasn't too pleased with what she had to do. Nevertheless, she did it. She called it unconditional love. I doubt she had any idea what she was talking about since we are the epitomy of unconditional love. She obviously liked going thru the tunnel 'cos Kaylie would follow me thru the tunnel anyway...
Another POC (piece of cake)...

So U get the picture. It was POC for me since I've been there, done that. For Kaylie it was all new so she needed to follow me. Why MaMa thought she had to go thru the tunnel, we had no idea. The best part of the whole exercise was the fact that we got about 50 million treats each. I wish it lasted longer than it did.

We started to head home as it started to get cloudy. I was glad to finally get home for a nap since the treats were done. Instead of leaving me alone, MaMa decided it was time to take a couple of shots of me with extra ears!
The above picture was when I thought I'd get some yummy treats for putting up with the nonsense. As soon as I know there was no "benefit" I refused to look into the camera...

I've got a package!!!

2007-05-21T22:00:00.000+08:00

Hello peeps. Sorry I haven't had much time to update you of my activities 'cos I've been busy keeping an eye on the mailman. Each day passed by & he did not bare me gifts. I was getting impatient & agitated. Today, however, the mailman was the sweetest. He brought me the package that I'd been waiting for!
I was jumping with joy but MaMa said I can't open it myself since I'll probably "kill" everything in there. She slowly unwrap the package & pull out each item to show me. They are delightful!
As U can see, not all of them were mine. The "mini" items were from JaffaMan to Kaylie. He had written a note saying "I no no a lot a lot $." I figured that was why he had to piggyback on the package that Sunshade had for me. MaMa was just as excited as me & she promised I'll get to eat the treat treat tomorrow. She said I've had enough to eat for the day... bummer...

Silly Kaylie was all excited about her tag. She wanted MaMa to wear it for her just like JaffaMan had when he got his...
Just look at her silly grin.

I want to thank you Sunshade for the lovely gifts. They are the bestest.

Kaylie says : "Thank you thank you JaffaMan. Love the tag tag. Smell nice nice. Will sleep good good with tag tag around neck neck."

Ok, that's all the "air time" Kaylie will get for now.

Happy Burpday to Me

2007-05-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I had a pawsome Me day!

We started off on our usual quick walky to release ourselves. I found some really nice "perfume" so I rolled in it a couple of times. MaMa wasn't too impressed with the smell so she put me under the tap before I could have my breaky.

While waiting for PaPa & MaMa to return from work, I decided to re-decorate the dining area a little. Kaylie told me since it was my Burpday, I could probably get away with murder. So the "paper works" was solely my doing.

So MaMa returned to this...
You are right, she wasn't very impressed with my deco but she quietly cleaned up the "mess" & we went out for our night walky. Phew!

When we returned, MaMa brought out my Burpday dinner.
She knows I love Oxtail. Soon, it was time for chow down!

Kaylie enjoyed her Oxtail din din too!

Next up was pressies time. I got a collar from Boy & Baby. Thank you very much, Boy & Baby, I love it. I got my fav chew bone & a teddy bear from Kaylie. Thank you Kaylie. I'll share with you when I'm done with them.

And finally, MaMa gave me the hugest chew bone that I won from Amber-Mae's contest! Love it love it love it...

On a more serious note, we found out about the passing of FuFu the hamsterrier. He was such a amazing hamster. He never fail to put a smile on our faces. Till we meet again, rest in peace FuFu.

Kaylie at the Vetinary

2007-05-13T20:00:00.000+08:00

Hello all, it's me Kaylie Kaylie; or KaylieGirl; or KayliePoo or Kaylie Darlin... Sorry, I get too excited...

Anyway, I went to the vet vet yesterday & they did a scrappy scrap to see if the bug bugs are all dead. PaPa & MaMa got to see the dead bug bugs under the microscone. The vet vet was happy happy cos the bug bugs are dead dead. Unfortunately, vet vet found a couple of new spots on me. He suggested that I get a full body clip. MaMa was distraught. She couldn't bare to see my beautiful fur gone but in order to kill all the bug bugs on my body, it needed to be done.

So off we went to our favourite pet shop where Aunty W gave me a quick shave.

After half an hour, this is how I look now!!!

MaMa say I look ugly ugly but I know she is trying to cover up for her sadness. I caught her cry cry when she was holding me last night.

Jaffa Jaffa, U think I still pretty pretty without my fur fur? My skin is red red from the bug bites. I hope it'll go away soon!!!

PaPa had done some reading up about my condition & said that I'll be ok ok once the bug bugs are dead dead. I will eat all the yummy yummy MaMa gives me so I will be strong strong!!!

MaMa had written a short message to the breeder about my condition & hopefully they will not pair my mummy & daddy up for breeding again.

King of fruits!

2007-05-10T22:00:00.000+08:00

Kaylie's Demodectic Mange condition seems to be getting better. Her follow up with the vet is this coming this Sat. Paws crossed, hope her skin scrap will show that those nasty bugs are all dead.

Kaylie dropped a note to Jaffa after she came back from the vet last week. Jaffa's MaMa was very kind. She dropped some very informative advice for MaMa 'cos MaMa was so lost & didn't know where to start. Armed with the valuable tips, she headed to the store last Sunday to pick up the supplements that would help with Kaylie's condition. 3 items she picked up from the store. She picked up Super Colostrum. She also bought Vit A,C,E + Selenium. Lastly, the thing that Kaylie can't seem to breakdown from the food that she eats; Zinc (Sorry, MaMa couldn't find the product info online). She thought she's pretty much covered until she remembered - the "King of Fruits"!

The "King of Fruits" - Durian; is a very popular fruit in some parts of Asia. Eating it is an acquired taste. It is believed that the protein content is very high therefore it must be good for me, no?! Anyway, MaMa bought a whole lot of it & boy was it good!
Kaylie & I totally enjoyed it. Poor MaMa was left with almost nothing by the time she realised how much she had given us! It was yummy in my tummy indeed!

General rules...

2007-05-06T22:00:00.000+08:00

We woke up to a bright & sunny beautiful morning. We take it easy, had breakie then went for walkie. The sky was so blue...
The sun was shining brightly, we can feel the warmth. It was great for walkie...
There ain't much going on since it's really "rest & relax" day for the whole family. So perhaps I'll post a picture of my prize. I won the "guess the number of toys" contest on Amber-Mae's blog!!! I was very excited when MaMa showed me the box full of yummies!!!
Thank you Faith & Amber-Mae, I love it love it love it. The sad thing thou, MaMa said I'll have to wait till next week before I could have it. She refused to give me an acceptable reason. What to do, Bitches rule the family in my case.

I've got some updates on Kaylie too. She seems to be coping well. The sore spots are now dried up & the fur are starting to grow back. She is still on anitbiotic to control any flare up on her skin. Oh, her last visit at the vet showed she weighed 6.8kg. She is 9 months now. MaMa said I was only 5.9kg when I was 9 months. Is Kaylie fat or fat?!

MaMa also went to get some supplements to boost her immune system. I wonder if they are yummilicious. I told MaMa if it is yummilicious, I will want some too. Guess what MaMa said?! "Yummilicious or not, both of U are gonna have to take it!" Did I mention Bitches rule?!

Demodectic Mange

2007-05-02T11:30:00.000+08:00

Hello peeps, it is me Kaylie. I asked Jaffe to let me have a little "air time".

See, on Monday 30th Apr, MaMa brought me to the vet 'cos my skin was getting red & it is not recovering well...

A couple of months ago, MaMa thought I had food allergy & that was why I had spots on my body. After seeing Dr Kasey & getting some skin scrap done, he confirmed I have this scawy sounding bug on me - Demodectic Mange.

Dr Kasay said that it is due to some weak immune system. I need more yummy supplement to boost my immunity but MaMa don't know which one will be directly beneficial for me in this situation. If any of you peeps know anything, please help MaMa out so I can be strong again!

Anyway, after taking some pills & getting some lotion on my wound, MaMa brought us out on our walkies. In the evening, Aunty Y suggested bringing all of us to the West Coast Dog Run for a swell time. It was all wet & muddy. We did have a swell time but it was Aunty Y & MaMa's nightmare. Check us out...

So, there you have it. I may have some bugs on me, I am still up for a "muddy" good time... licks licks...

Pawty Pawty Pawty

2007-04-29T20:00:00.000+08:00

It is the 1 year anniversary of DWB and Miss Sunshade had came up with the fantastic idea of a Wine, Cheese & Chat Pawty.

Of cos there were no wine, no cheese & so no pawty for us if MaMa didn't get her lazy a** to pick up some. And so off she went; but only at noon on Sat, when the whole of DWB were hitting the keypads for hours already...

So this was where PaPa & MaMa went to pick up the stuff...

It is a hypermart. There were tonnes of stuff there & we could only hope they zoom straight to the wine & cheese section...

They took the longest time out at the mall...

3 hours later, they came back with...

After all the picture taking, I said "cut the cheese up & let the pawty begin!"

Alpha Intensive

2007-04-22T20:00:00.000+08:00

No no no no no... It is not about me being the alpha, it is about this post being made up of words, words & more words.

See, it has been raining quite a bit where we are & it makes it impossible to take nice pictures.

Anyway, I've got a story to tell. I'll use a few pictures from the "archives" to "spice up" the story a little. And here's how it begins...

We set off to Chestnut Ave again yesterday afternoon. It started to rain before we even got there. Since it wasn't too heavy, we decided to still go on the hike. A third of the way we came to our favourtie spot...

We all enjoyed a quick dip. Then we heard our names being called. We got out of the water all ready to continue the exciting hike...

We started running ahead leading "the pack" as it were. MaMa started to call for us again cos she likes to "check" on us every so often to make sure we're keeping with the pack. That was when we noticed Jose was nowhere to be found. Aunty Y was worried but remained rather calm. We "combed" the surrounding area for close to half an hour, shouting out to Jose but still no sign of him. Aunty Y suggested one of us head back to the car while she continued her search around the water but MaMa knows better not to leave her alone there.

Then we lost PaPa as well!!! MaMa called out to him but there was no reply. He didn't tell us which way he was heading to look for Jose. By about 6.15pm MaMa had to make a decision. She told Aunty Y we should start heading to the car before it gets too dark & we all get lost in the woods.

As we headed along the path to the car we saw PaPa running with a "package" in his arm. It was Jose!!! PaPa found Jose en route to the car. Anuty Y was relieved, as you can imagine.

We can only guess that Jose had headed too far too quickly, lost sight of us & sorta lost his way. He must have used the scent that we left behind every so often to get back the path that leads us back to the car. He is a smart little terrior.

PaPa said Jose looked a little "shaken" when he found him. He was a little wary of PaPa as PaPa approached him. PaPa knew the only thing that could win him over were the yummy treats we brought along on each walk. And yes, PaPa was right, he ran to PaPa for the treats & the rest is history.

Teethies... a bunch of them

2007-04-16T21:00:00.000+08:00

MaMa went to collect the long overdue teethie pendant. In my earlier post, I talked about MaMa collecting all our "milk teeth". She had been keeping them in a little container, until she saw in Butchy & Snicker's post about what their mommy did with theirs. MaMa made an attempt to do something herself but made a huge mess. Thank goodness she didn't ruin any of our teethies.

She finally admitted that she is not "artistically inclined" & so she asked for professional help. 3 weeks later, this is what she got...

PaPa & MaMa loved it, thought it's real cool. What do you think?

Dirty but Happy

2007-04-11T23:00:00.000+08:00

We went to the beach on Good Friday & on the Saturday, we went galavanting at this really cool place. We were there on our very first DASH back in Feburary. We loved it & so did Jose & Bond. Jose was really quick at posting the pictures unlike me cos MaMa only had her super slow phone camera that couldn't capture any of us in action fast enough.

I received the pictures taken by Jose's Dad, Uncle E, and after sorting them I'm ready to put them up. Thanks Uncle E.

So, no need for any more words. Just pictures, pictures, pictures...

Uncle E took a nice big shot of me coming out of the water...

1.5hrs later, we were all beat...

Kaylie was still busy making silly faces...

It's time to the beach again!!!

2007-04-07T10:40:00.000+08:00

We headed down to the beach yesterday. Yippee... It was bright & sunny, the water was perfect. Doggies everywhere too!!! MaMa didn't take too many pictures of us cos she was armed with only her mobile phone camera, which was no loss for us.

Anyway, MaMa went to get this Air Kong thingy for us to play at the beach...

See, none of us like to open our mouths in the sea so the toy was a no go. Alright, Kaylie gave it a go a couple of times but that's it.

Kaylie is a real water baby. She is always getting into the water...

Whereas Jose & I were busy chasing down other doggies & "sprinkling" water on Sunbathers. And then we all got really tired & decided to take a rest...
and a scratch...
I was all comfy when I heard my name called...

Now see, MaMa didn't have the "kick ass" camera so she took crappy shots of our top view...

On On, Chomp Chomp, Gone Gone

2007-04-02T22:20:00.000+08:00

We had lotsa fun last Saturday. It was the 5th Anniversary Dog HASH. It started raining as we set off to the HASH "site" but the rain didn't dampen our spirits.

When we got there, it was not raining anymore but it was cloudy. We settled down for a quick group picture before we got all "Stinky" (no offense there Jaffa)...

After that we set off on our trail. So "On On" we went barking...

It started to pour 15mins after & we got drenched. Here we are at a circle check where everyone gets a breather & a swim...

After the "rest", actually I think the rest was more for the humans, we went On On again...

After 2hrs & about 8km later, we were close to our destination.

When we finally finish the "run", the humans were asked to change into their "anniversary" T for a group picture...

We got fed lamb ribs for din din. I was yummy yummy. We chomped it down in 15mins! Sorry no pictures cos MaMa didn't want to risk starting a dog fight over din din.

After din din, I went to check out the other dogs & also check if there were more treats. I saw a man with about 10 dog bowls filled with beer! OMDog, I had to go check the bowls out. That silly Kaylie was too stupid to notice it & she decided to take a nap.

I didn't want to rest till we finally got home. After our shower, we couldn't keep awake any longer. It was bedtime soon after we were dried. We were "gone" till Sunday morning...

MaMa is all happy she got a T-shirt & a doggie toy in the goodie bag. She even bought a skirt to complete the "HASH look"...

Do check out Jose's blog for more pictures...
