Booping Noses

Sleep is a must

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

It's such a wonderful feeling.

Sleepy sleepy

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

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.

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!

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!

Dog Days of Autumn!

The Summer is slowly going away, you can feel it in the air! We know it not just because of this, but that the Humans have started to take us on our mountain trails again!



It is a little sad though, as it was a public holiday yesterday, and the trails were just a mess... the "public" barbecue areas were trashed, peppered in litter. Where's the consideration, humans?

In any case, we trudged on!



Woofy probably needs some more training - he's been left to slack off for some time, he got tired merely a quarter way through...



The Human Girl is starting to take more care in looking Menina up an down. Menina is going to turn 8 soon (that the Human Girl knows of) and she seems to have some problem breathing. But in this trip, Menina made her own merry way, despite slowly, without any complication!



The walk took a little over an hour and let me take this chance to remind everyone: remember to keep your pets hydrated! Have water on you at all times!



That is all from this household!

It's been MONTHS

The HUMAN GIRL is unforgivable! It's been months since she posted any updates on us! She has been slacking way too much!!

I am officially MAD!!



There hasn't been that much of varying news about us though... here's a group-shot for you to refresh your memories of who we are:



Nothing much happened, really. We went out with on of the Human Girl's colleague and the lady liked us very much. Woofy continued to need the vet and taking baths with his special medication and it's been hard trying to maintain this weight.

What did happen that is out of the ordinary, is that Max got a dislocated joint, maybe his kneecap. Monday he was playing with Bido and gave a shriek, but after 10 minutes he was fine. The Human Girl though, noticed he seemed to be bothered by something, couldn't jump well and still whimpered once in a while. The Vet found out about the dislocated joint... and so the dog is on house arrest. Because on the very next day after seeing the vet, he again dislocated his joint and had to go to the vet again today!

So, you see, male dogs are really difficult to deal with. I'll just sit by here and soak up the sun for a bit!

For a change

I was feeling generous, so I decided to give the humans a treat.

I set their dinner table the other day!



However, they didn't seem to notice that I set the dinner table up for them. So I decided I shouldn't be worrying about these humanly things and just chill like I always do!



The Human Girl changed her bedsheets. That means THAT IS PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SOIL IT!

So we did.

Light reading

Human Girl picked up a book in Hong Kong, and she is now reading it whenever she can.

What happened to her Kindle?

Her Kindle is very fine and well, but she still decided to buy an actual printed book.

The plan is to pass this book on to the local Library so that other people can read it too. Though she is not sure if anyone would be searching for such a book.



Funny it's got Menina on the cover, woof woof woof!

Of Car Rides and Cookies

The Human Girl has been working really hard! But she needs to manage her time better. We were out yesterday, all so happily without any worries, and... we couldn't go home right after our walk! The car ran out of gas and we had to drive over to the pump to get a refill!



But, it was a fun trip. I got to bark around at various random people. Hey, they were all around the car and pointing and laughing at me!

Oh, and today the Human Girl did something right, and all of us are really pleased about it.



Apparently, the Human Girl went to some baking workshop class and baked us cookies! That was yummy!

The Human Girl shares the translated recipe, which is from the Cebolinha Workshop 若野夢工房 (please note: this is in MACAU):

Doggie Veggie Cookies
Organic Whole Wheat Flour 220gr
Egg (whole) 1pc
Carrot (diced) 1pc
Apple (diced) 1 pc
Water as required

1. Make a depression in the flour, and mix the egg in by hand. Add water as needed, but keep in mind that eventually you will have to add in the apple and carrot dice and those give out liquid as you knead as well.

2. Cut in shapes or knead into shapes - anything works, just keep it under 1cm thick for easy baking.

3. Bake in a pre-heat oven at 180C for 25-35 minutes. Best result is if it is crispy on the outside and soft in the inside

※ (Human Girl comments) Forget about "decorating" the cookies with any remaining apples or carrots as it shrinks or burns easily. Personally I think it is better if you try to knead these into the cookie instead of just putting it on the surface.

As you can see, we are all pretty happy with the result!



The Human Girl should go on more such classes and cook things for us. Woof Woof Woof!

The Life

Life should be enjoyed.



That is all...

This is the life

Such is the life of (fortunate) dogs nowadays. They are free to go sunbathing and hop back to bed as they like.

Menina sure looks like she is enjoying life!

Caption time!

Why don't we all try to caption this??



We were out in the morning and Menina just sat down there on the pavement and watched the world go by.

Or perhaps she was checking the handsome Golden Retriever that had just arrived out. Haha!

Picky eater

Menina has been a picky eater lately!



The human girl has to sit right next to Menina so that she would eat something, and FINALLY there she had finished her plate of food!

Atrocity!

The human girl has been busy... that she forgot to post ANYTHING!



What is a dog to do!? I cannot imagine!

That cannot happen again!



However, they did make time to take us out to the hills again. See that! No dog-pooh-ing! I don't really get why they need a sign to say no guns, though. It's weird.



Spot Menina in the window? That's us on the way home :D

Some old videos

Life has been pretty standard recently. So we decided to post some old videos of us!

If memory serves well, this was some time between Peppie leaving us, and Bido coming to us... so there's only three of us in here...

Here we have Sai-Lup chasing after a ball. Maybe this has to be done more frequently!



And here we have Sai-Lup and Pequenai singing a duet in the car!



Meanwhile, Bido is sulking because so far there are no videos of him!



So I'll just go ahead and secure myself the best spot in the bed!
