Rock Hopping

PicsArt_1454990940106

Rock climbing is a human physically and mentally demanding sports which create strength, endurance, agility and balance along with mental control.

For me, instead of doing rock climbing, we do rock hopping. Mum brings me to hop on every rocks around the neighbourhood. It also creates my strength and balance so that I am able to stand still on them.

Balance on mountain stone

Balance on the 2 rocks

Play bow on 2 rocks

Balance on rock

2 on 2 off

Balance on mushroom stone

It ended with a big smile.

A memorable week

DAY 1

Mommy and Daddy had a hard time that day. I still remembered it was on a Monday, 3 August 2015. They had never carried that rotten feeling when travelling from home to vet. Even though it is indeed a small operation, so called sterilization, they felt very uncomfortable. For me, I didn’t know anything. I just followed them. Maybe my Mom was too comical. She almost cried out when she handed me over to Dr Lee. I guessed Dr Lee noticed that and that’s why she had given her 5 minutes extra to reconsider.

[Benefits of Steralization:

Reduce the risk of certain types of cancer that can be terminal.
Eliminate undesirable behaviours like spraying, marking and fighting (of course, this need to be trained too even after neutering).
Not developing the uterine infection called, “Pyometra”, which occurs commonly among older, unspayed dogs and cats. Pyometra is a life threatening disease.
Prevent unwanted breeding. ]

Final conclusion, Mommy had decided at 12pm .

According to the vet tech, I had awaken at 4pm and started to make some barking sound for awareness.

At 7 pm, I can be discharged. Before leaving the place, I had left a goodbye souvenir for the vet by marking at the entrance door.

What a moody face!

Feel so tired.

DAY 2

Still in pain.

DAY3

My FIRST jump!

DAY 4

Able to play!

DAY 5

Healing fast!

DAY 6

Asking for fetch or tug!

DAY 7

Finally I’m out.

Mommy brought me out on the day 7 walking from Robertson Quay to Clarke Quay with my buddy H.

And I took some individual shot.

And we ended our walk with healthy breakfast at one of the cafe (forget the name) at Robertson Quay which is a dog friendly place.

Raw Duck Leg for Baileys’ 1st Birthday

I got new type of meat today on my first birthday.

Guess what?

It’s a Duck Leg. Awesome!!

As usual, I need to SIT and STAY FOCUS before I allowed to taste it.

I must be patient. The duck leg eventually is mine.

Since today is a special day, I got MORE MORE WORK to do. Say Cheese!!

Ok. This is how a Duck Leg looks like. Nothing really special. Almost the same like Chicken Drumstick to me.

Mummy loves my focus and endurance. Keep it up!!

Mummy:”Come closer, Boy!”

Not again. How long must I wait? I have been sitting here and there for more than 5 mins.

My hunger has gone. There’s more FUN outside.

Finally I got my first taste of it. It tastes just like chicken but with a slightly strong flavour.

Now is my little Myers’ turn to do whatever my mummy loves to see.

My endurance is definitely better than my big brother. See!!

Not bad right. My little trick is “HOLD YOUR BREATH”, so you can’t smell the foooooood.

Another 1 min of holding time. I have to work till the end.

Yum Yum Yum!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEYS! STAY HEALTHY AND BE HAPPY ALWAYS. MY PRECIOUS BOY.

First encounter on lamb ear

This is our first experience munching the lamb ear. Based on mummy’s research, these lamb ears are made 100% natural and free range. They are high in Protein and make a tasty snack treat. It is delicious and appetizing.

By looking at my pictures, it can tell you that I’m very enjoyable chewing it. By the way, this is better than chewing the table’s leg. It tastes much better.

Never thought of the taste of lamb ear. Is it tasty or tasteless? We shall see.

Danger:”Yummy! Taste nicer but I forgot whether I have had it before.”

Heavenly Treats.

Baileys’ FIRST Barkdae Pawtee

What’s so special today?

Early in the morning, we have asked for focus to mummy’s big camera before treating us. What’s wrong, man? Nehhh!!! Is ok!! I LOVE those dehydrated pears.

Mummy:”Let’s go kids! We got to fetch Danger from Grandpapa’s house to the pawty area.”

By the way, this is Danger. We call him “BOSS”.

WOW!! PAWTY!! WHO’S PAWTY??

OH OH OH!!

Our pawrents have coincided with Hugo’s pawrents to organize a barkday pawty session for us today.

Heres come the birthday boys.

Let me introduce you. This is my handsome little buddy. We have been playing and attending puppy classes together since we were 4 months old. Time really flies. We are turning 1 year old in a few days time.

HAPPY HAPPY!!

Mummy always has this weird idea. She put a blue checker bow tie on me. What’s that for? For our barkday pawty?? Do I look handsome or funny with that? Hmm!! Don’t really can see that with so many furs on it.

Here comes the pawrents.

Aunty Trina (Hugo’s mummy) is the pawty deco designer today. She has drawn out those big black labels and decorated some of the walls with our names on it. A mini barkday photo booth is also her idea for those who wanted to bring back memories from us. So sweet of her!

Uncle Robby will be our photographer today and he is also the birthday boy, Hugo’s daddy. All his photos are awesome and beautiful. Do enjoy it while you are browsing. Thanks Uncle Robby!

This is my daddy. He will be our guardian today as mummy will be busily helping out the event.

Both mummies are taking the best shots with the birthday boys.

Let’s get started.

The barkday event is kicking off at Paw Pet-Radise Cafe from 12.30 pm to 3 pm and the cutting cake session will be around 2.30 pm. However, the bosses of the cafe (Vivian and Hui Jing) have extended our timing to 3.30 pm out of their goodwill. This pet-friendly cafe is small but is a nice gathering place for our furry little fellas. If you got chance, go check it out.

Don’t misunderstand, the menu on the board is for human. This is our mini snack bar corner for dogs’ consumption. There are dehydrated carrots, pumpkin and chicken fillets (made from my mummy) and lamb’s ear and hooves (from Aunty Trina).

Here comes our guests.

She is my little sister, Myers. Not really a guest. As you can see, she is enjoying her little session with the yummy treats. By the way, nobody has given it to her. She has just stolen it by chance. Why? Aunty Janice has accidentally dropped the treats bottle and here comes the little Myers.

This lady who is having her yummy potato chips dip is Aunty Lynn. She is Loukas and Messi’s mummy. Behind her is Fidele. His mummy, Karen, is sitting opposite them. Maybe Aunty Lynn has something sweet on her so that’s explained why he is there.

This is Governess Juliet. Why do we always call her “GOVERNESS”? She has her own teaching methods to correct those naughty pups. She was also once Myers’ little lecturer.

Who is this little cute puppy? His name is Hershey. The youngest in the house today. His size don’t really seem like he is 4 months old.

Precious is one of our outing buddies. She’s sweet and will chase together with us. We will always meet out for any outdoor activities like trekking, garden walking, night walking and swimming.

This is Loukas. My mummy always love to see his sweet little face. He is older than me but I’m bigger in size than him.

Beside Governess Juliet is Romeo. They are our little master as their mummy is our lifetime lecturer, Teacher Michelle. She has really guided us and helped us along the way since the day I had my first raw. When was it? 3 months old? I guess so. Why do I say so? She will be able to answer all kinds of difficult questions (to us is difficult) from us in an understandable form, be it diet, behaviour modification, training and many more that you cannot imagine. One word for her, AWESOME.

This is Harley the Golden Retriever. I have not seen him for very long time since we graduated from our puppy class 2. That was in August. She has grown up so big but still very playful.

This is Messi. He is the biggest in size in the house. My daddy loves his big bone and big coat. We call him “BIG BEAR BEAR”.

She is Myers’ biological sister, Miko. She is the smallest in size in the house. She loves to cuddle up with her mummy and stay on couch throughout the whole event.

This is Danger. Not really a guest. By the way, he is the father of Hugo (the birthday boy), Myers and Miko. So sweet that Hugo’s biological dad can attend his 1st barkday. (Photo as below.)

The family.

Here comes the candid shots.

Let’s get ready to our mini photo shoots at our mini photo booth.

Finally our group photos.

Big happy family cum mini shelties gathering.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all my furry friends’ ‘pawrents to use their busy time to be part of our memory of the happiest moments.

Thank you Teacher Michelle, Aunty Lynn & her hubby, Aunty Janice, Ginger’s mummy, Uncle Ian, Aunty Elim, Aunty Karen, Uncle Wee Boon and of course Uncle Robby and Aunty Trina.

Hope you all have enjoy the sweet moments with us.
