Booping Noses

I got stuck!

I simply wanted to get nearer to The Human Girl... and as I squeezed in between the front seats of the car, I got stuck!

Well, just because my harness got hooked to the seatbelt thing. The Human Girl managed to save me!

Error: Assembling Failure

Warning! Assembling Failure! Assembling Failure!

Or, when you try to put your Ikea dog(s) together and you fail at it...

Sleep is a must

This is life, all we need to do is sleep, sleep, and sleep. 

It's such a wonderful feeling.

Blast from the Past

The Human Girl did some major cleaning of her room over the weekend and came across a stack of old photos.

There, of course, were a lot of dog photos.

Here's one of our predecessors: Fufu.



According to the Human Girl, this was her best dog ever. *rolls eyes* I don't get it. All these humans keep saying their childhood dog is the best. How many best dogs can there be?

The history for this Fufu is as follows:

The Human Girl's Dad had a restaurant, where somehow a stray dog had come and made it her home; eventually just hopping into the car and going home with him. That was Foxy. Foxy had one litter of puppies - 3 males and 2 females. All got given away. Then she had a second litter of puppies - 6 males and 1 female. Everyone wanted the males, and nobody wanted the female puppy. After much begging and grovelling, the Parents decided to let the Human Girl have her own dog.



So Fufu was a crazy dog too - during walks she would walk far ahead, but she kept her pace, always running back to make sure you were following. She was pretty good off-leash. She knew basic street-walking commands like straight ahead, turn left, turn right. Oh, she also knew the standard commands - sit, paw/shake, lie down, jump.

Sadly, her demise was an accident.

The Human Girl had a lie down as she had a busy day and was tired. Someone from the family went to bring the trash out and took Fufu with them. Suddenly, the Human Girl jolted awake and felt a great unease. And that was the exact time it happened. Fufu was off leash and in a freak accident (the car didn't even hit her, she probably only got the fright of her life), and that was that.

The Human Girl was so sad at that time. That was the last dog the family had for a while. It was also during this they decided to renovate the home a bit. Soon after, Peppie came along, but that is another story to tell..

Sleepy sleepy

*yawn* let me sleep, why are you alway disturbing me?

Weird face dog

Rawr! How do I look?

Snoopy!

The Human Girl has betrayed us once again. Why would she put something not-us at her workplace?



Why Snoopy? Why Charlie Brown? She could have put something of us at her workplace!

Oh yeah, she has an electronic photo frame that constantly loops our photos. No more jealousy. Isn't that snuggly Snoopy and Charlie Brown warm? We try to sit on The Human Girl that way too.

Cat Cave Cafe and The Husky

There's a new cafe opened in the area, and the cafe follows the concept of the Japanese Cat Cafes - there are cats! The cats are all adopted, and they have quite a lot of space to run around and mingle.

Cat Cave Cafe in São Lourenço area in Macau. Posts are in Chinese.



Despite being called the Cat Cave Cafe, for some reason, they now have a Husky, or a Husky mix with them. Apparently he was recently adopted as well.



Mr. Husky (Chinese name 史力奇, meaning "Snufkin" from Moomin) seems to enjoy chewing The Human Girl's arm instead of playing tug.

Food served is not really anything to tell home about, but it's nice to see an establishment that is keen on helping strays as well.

The Human Girl Apologizes

For the complete disregard for this blog for 2 whole years. The Human Girl shall pay. Somehow.

THEN WHY IS IT THAT WE ARE THE ONES SUFFERING AGAIN!?!?!?







The Human Girl and The Other Human Girl locked us outside and gave us all a wash. Then we got full service manicure and ear cleaning, and Bido and Max got a new haircut too!

BETRAYAL

THE HUMAN GIRL HAS ONCE AGAIN BETRAYED US!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!!!!!



A BLOODY BATH OUTDOORS?

Ah... but ohwell, we do feel better after this bath, now that we are all nice and dry. Ok, we'll let it slide this time.



So the other week the Human Girl went over to Hong Kong to see this Cesar Millan guy. Dunno who he is. Never seen him either. I think the Human Girl read a book or two by this guy. Something about he's on TV too. No interest. But she got me a present!! And it's a new leash! Lookie!



I did try to convince the Human Girl that I'm grown up enough to walk myself, but she seems to be determined. AND I've already chewed the handle part of the leash. Yummy!

Menina isn't too well though.



Mr. Vet has taken her off Tramadol and after a few days she's back to her unbalanced, can't walk, constant pain self. The Human Girl will have to find the time to take her to visit the vet before the two-weeks-later appointment. That is going to be a very difficult case to crack!

Until we have more updates, toodles!

Exhibitionists

We are dogs. We don't really care if you get to see our wee-wees or whatever. We enjoy life, and we will just show it all, if it so fancies us.

Even the ladies can just be as free as the rest!

Why should we cover up? It's a free world and there is NO SHAME at all!



So why is the Human Girl suddenly putting stamps to cover up our weewees these days!?!?!?!?



And this one too!



Could it be the Human Girl is ashamed of seeing us exhibiting ourselves?

Nah, apparently it was just for fun.

Twelve Nights 十二夜

The Human Girl today recommends a Taiwan movie-documentary she watched.

http://www.twelvenights.com.tw 

Twelve Nights 十二夜. It tells of the 12 nights of some 450 dogs in a shelter. At the end of the period only some 50-something are adopted.

It is, of course, really sad, but the Himan Girl was impressed with the cinematography, lighting, angles, and all. It made a shabby old cheap shelter look like a sturdy, quaint rustic shelter.

We are on the iPhone right now so we are not sure how to post anything, but I'm sure if we click around, something will eventually work.

So... If you have time, the Human Girl would recommend for you to watch it

Puppies are unwell

The Human Girl went into shock and blacked out a few days ago! In retrospect, the entire incident was funny enough, but at that time, it was pretty devastating.

Our queen Menina had some complications where she was constantly crying. After several runs to the vet and a couple of false diagnosis, it was concluded Menina had some type of spinal and cranial hernia (whatever those terms are). In simple words, something was growing in between her spinal bones, or something.

This conclusion came to after a blood test, a few injections, and a change of vet, who conceded to give her an x-ray and identified the problem. So she now has her meds, has a collar thing that she has to put on at all times (though in reality she has it off for longer) and seems to be doing well.

Next is Woofy, our Pequenai. He somehow displaced his kneecap, which led to surgery to put it back in place and to deepen the ridge in his bone to keep the kneecap in place.

As the vet explained this, the Human Girl blacked out. Ha. The entire clinic staff stood around her and got her coke and water. It was just funny for us but embarrassing for her, which is fine, really.

Before surgery took place, a blood test tested Woofy to have canine pancreatitis and so, bad luck for him, he has to stay hospitalized for the next 3 days.

In both cases, the vets are pretty happy with the progress, so all is good. We will soon give you updates and of course, photos.

Menina

Allow the Human Girl to say something today.

After running around in some circles with a couple of vets, and a story that i don't particularly care to elaborate, she did a blood test and a set of 4 x-rays.

Our lovely Menina is pretty sick. She has some problems with her spine and is in constant pain. Something about bones growing between her spine bone blocks. Or something.

The X-ray we took also showed she has an enlarged heart, liver, and a mysterious organ(spleen?)/something that the vet is unsure what it is.

We are going to do an ultrasound next week to find out.

Luckily, she is still eating well and can still do her regular toilet business. We only have to avoid her climbing up/down the stairs and steps and jumping. Trying to carry her is a pain as well as if we move her wrong then she cries a lot as well.

Please keep her in your thoughts.

Life goes on

Life at this household goes on rather well. You don't have to worry, we are being kept really well!



We are still going out twice every day. I even heard the humans talking about going out to the mountains tomorrow morning! That is going to be very exciting!



Those who like to sleep on the bed still get to do that. Here Menina sleeps in a very enticing pose. And the humans only laugh at it. Yes. Envy us, envy our lives.



Oh yeah. And I got to be called, or referred to, as a Husky again. This time, it's not just some somebody that don't know about dogs. It was a vet! My regular vet was saying my energetic stride comes from the Huskies and that I need a lot of exercise! While I agree I need a lot of exercise, I am sure I am in no way related to Huskies!

Selfie #1

The Human Girl should be ashamed of herself for ignoring our blog. OUR BLOG! How can she even forget about it? We are everyday around her. We make her play with us. She sees us every single day!

Anyway, I decided, if she's not going to take photos of us, I can do it myself!

My first Selfie:

Betrayed!

The Human Girl has betrayed us!

The Human Girl... went to Japan! Without us! How dare her!

Not only did she leave us hanging here and go to Japan, she played with other animals in Japan!

This is unforgivable!



I'm mad and I shall ignore the Human Girl for some time.

She got lost somewhere in Nara and had to go ask for the way... she asked a deer that was standing by the road sign. What was she thinking? When did deers give direction? She should have asked a dog!



Well, but given that she insulted this dog by not letting her have the yellow pig toy, the dog was mad!





A note of caution, seriously, the Human Girl was in Nara, Japan, and that's where all these deers are walking around the city (at least the park areas). This is official signage, so now you know. The deers are wild deers. They are dangerous!

Another day out at the suburbs

Autumn is here, Autumn is here, Autumn is here!

It is such a lovely time with this Autumnish weather! Or, it is just because we are being constantly walked out in the suburbs!



Here's a photogenic me the Human Girl snapped. Lovely walk around the lake today!

Not so many dog photos, but you can take the chance to see the beautiful scenery around!

We are Healthy Dogs

We are all so healthy. We get a lot of exercise!



Since Autumn is coming up, the air is getting cooler, we're really getting on our weekly suburb walks!



I am a Wii Fit Yoga Master. Listen to me!

Not really, but it's fun to pretend.



Actually we just really like the yoga matt from the Human Girl.



I also wanted to take the chance to say, it may look like I don't seem to be in danger in here (the air con was on!), that you should NEVER leave your pets or children inside a car unsupervised!
