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!

Looking Smart

"There is, undoubtedly, no other mongrel around that looks as smart as I do," Sai-Lup boasts.

"Oh, shut up," says Menina

The Life

Life should be enjoyed.



That is all...
