A Panic Moment in my Life

Brother gave me a ferror rocheo before heading home. I placed it in a plastic bag full of other stuff. Hubby & Mico came to pick me up. Mico was in the back of the van and I placed my bag in between the driver and pasenger seat.

Stupid Mico poked her head into my bag without me knowing and started eating the chocolate. Ate entire top coating of the chocolate before I discovered.

Rushed home and tried using my fingers and spray water into her throat to force her to throw up but got bitten instead. Called the vet and vet advised to give her a teaspoon of salt to make her vomit.

Gave her that salt and initially she was quite willing to eat it. Within 1 minute, she started vomitting foam in a mixture of white, chocolate and red colour. Red colour is because hubby fed her watermelon earlier. Retching for 15 minutes followed by diarhoea of brown/yellow & red, which I think is because of the watermelon yesterday again. Initially thought that it was her insides!So scared.

Never panicked so much before. Stupid hubby took it very lightly about Mico eating chocolate and simply refused to believe the seriousness. In self denial! Simply bochap and stayed in the room while Mico and I were in the bathroom retching. Din even attempt to help me to search for Vet's no when I was frantically searching any emergency no. Pls, anyone, pls drum that concept into my stupid Hubby's brain that chocolate is poisonous to dog and it is serious! Somemore can take aftermath photo of Mico suffering. The most heartache part was already washed away by me then. If I din wash away, Mico would attempt to eat back her vomit.

My heart aches so much for Mico. After all that pucking, she's a wet, weak and sick dog. but still can play the towel game with me when I tried to wipe her dry. after that still can go chase my clothes when hubby threw it into the laundry basket. I cried when I saw her resting. I could have just lost Mico like that!

She seems allrite now. Need to monitor her tonight. Wonder what to feed her tomorrow so that her stomach will recover slowly.

Never will I eat chocolate in my house again!

Gone with the heat

Yo, finally my heat is finished. Feel so much better. Don't have to clean myself every few minutes. hehehe.. best part is that my mummy is bringing me out again every day for walk.when I heard the word "leash", I know that I get to go out. So must show my mummy that I'm happy about going out or else my mummy may not bring me out.

Recently i like to speak. but my mummy don't like me to speak at all. she'll get angry with me and i'm so frightened when she gets angry. Why can't I speak? I'm so like human, just that I cannot talk. So i speak in my own way lor. Mummy and Daddy don't understand my language, what can i do?

mico - the queen of gy9122h

Normally Mico will ride with me in front on my lap on the passenger seat or at my feet. Put her at the back of the van yesterday and we drove to Mount Faber. Decided to make fun of her and not to let her out. So i pretended to say bye bye and locked her in the car. Dar opened the back door to let her out. she climbed onto the sofa to get out. that was the 1st time she went up the sofa.

On the way home, i looked back to check Mico and discovered that she has climbed up the sofa and seated herself comfortably on the sofa. Somemore already lie down. She looked so relaxed. Just like queen and we are the chauffer and butler. Reminds me of some dog who inherited some fortune from the deseased owner and got servants to look after it.. what a sight. A pity that I did not take any pictures.

She's been barking more often recently at nothing. So i'm taking the opportunity to teach her 'speak"

Heat almost ending. Yeah! This afternoon I squatted on the floor to wipe the stains accumulated for a few days. Back breaking man.

Bought a packet of timberwolf on Sun from the pet shop. Couldn't bear to wait anymore. Have mixed both canidae & timberwolf (with more of canidae though so that my pocket won't hurt too much. Mico is eating better with the mixture.

Another Cavalier

Heard that Pets Instinct brought in cavalier puppies. So tempted to buy another cavalier..Wonder how much one will cost.

I'm so hungry

I'm so hungry. I haven eaten for almost 2 days except a morsel of kibbles, biscuit and fruits.

My mummy only feed me kibbles which i do not like. Everytime i see the kibbles, I will give my mummy a sad face and hope that she gives me something else. But my mummy has been ignoring my plea.

I love lamb lungs, ice, treats, fruits, milk, canned food. Basically I'm ok with everything except kibbles.

I'm not stubborn. I only want nice food, that's all. sigh. Maybe mummy will give me nice food again when I puck yellow gastric juice again. Just like the previous 2 times.

the long wait for timberwolf kibbles

Weird company. hubby contacted the company numerous times to say that we are interested to sell. I'm more interested to feed Mico TW though. Always give excuses or last minute say cannot turn up for meeting. Also refused to give us price list. I'm so keen to buy. But they are not keen to sell.

Destructive gal


Today came home and saw some yellow/orange colour bits on the floor besides the usual shit and pee.. was wondering wat it was. Is it puck? Never fed her anything that colour. Picked it up and realised that it is hard like rubber. I never gave her any toy this morning. Then I saw the carcass of the toy.

Fussy mico and helpless audrey

stupid gal so fussy abt food..after weeks on putting her on canidae, still do not want to eat.. eat only when super hungry or I must be there to watch her eat. Watching her eat is a luxury of time which I can hardly afford now with my exams approaching. So she chooses to eat only once a day, sometimes dont' even eat..just thinking maybe i should just feed her once a day,like an adult dog since she chooses it.


Canidae causes her to have tear stains..everyday got to wipe her eyes at least 3 times. This problem was not so bad when she was on timberwolf elk..also din have to watch her eat..she just automatically eats...i think it's nice bah.......want to put her back..

but got to solve my canidae 10+kg problem... & timberwolf supplier just refused to give us the pricing until we buy fm them...

running out of patience to watch mico eat..hope to lay my hands on timberwolf soon.

Mico loose pants up


wonder when her first heat is finishing. Started on 1 NOV. Today is already 13 nov. Isn't it only for 2 weeks? Poor gal has been deprived from going out or even roaming around the house. Saw frm DS that dogs on heat can have change in behaviour and if she meets a male dog and she may get injured due to deprival. Hence don't dare to bring her out at all. Heng no change in behaviour either...does stubbornness count??

Let her wear pants with my panty liner on it so that she can move around at home. See the loose pants up..even s size too big..haha..
Problem is after a few hours, she will pee in the pants...end up have to wash and dry that pants..then she kenna isolated cos no pants to wear..cannot roam the house..

Sentosa Outing

Mico's very good life. Yesterday bring her to Sentosa. Actually coz aku become pet taxi and the customer don't mind so I let Mico tag along lor.

Ha, when we first reach the Tanjong Beach, a couple (think is Mother and Son) asked me about Mico and if I'm interested to let Mico mate with their CKCS. We've exchanged contacts, but I leave the decision to big boss Audrey lar. After all, it's her pet anyway. See when she want Mico to be an adult, hahaha



Here's Mico swimming in the sea.

Oh,the life jacket was actually borrowed from my customer. The one we originally purchased for her was sold to someone one, and the rest we had are too big for her. lol.

Took me a hard time to 'drag' Mico into the sea. Stupid dog seems to be frighten of water. After a few force throwing, she eventually dares to go into the sea. Got one time she own self 'willing' slowly test water and go in to.




Here's Mico stylo shots after the various swim.

Mico also very auto. When my customer ask Mico if want to play on her floatable boat, she just jumped in without thinking. Think she enjoys it. See if Audrey will auto buy one for her or not. hahaha. When the boat 'hit' the shores, Mico also very fast know how to jump out and go for the land.

Audrey said this morning want to go again de, but as usual she 'say only', cannot wake up. Signz... Poor Mico, no chance to go play again coz she owner very lazy de.

sad case of a mongrel

Went to discovery centre yesterday noon for a visit..
when I was on the bus, i saw a mongrel lying by the side of the road.
at first, thought it was just asleep but upon closer look, realised that it has actually died and tongue sticking out with open wound.

Oh my god...poor doggy...dead already also nobody bothered to bury it.
That place, though deserted, has a whole stretch of factories...
How come nobody bothered to do anything??

doggy's love

Last nite, my rarely barked gal barked in the middle of the night. Dashed into my room (which is forbidden grounds to her) and onto my bed...when i picked her up, she held onto me so tightly with her front legs and refused to let go..

Last time she barked was because of a cockroach..that time she was so scared till she pee..
wondered wat it was that made her so clingly last night. Went to the kitchen and found nothing...

Is it ghost or UFO??? haha

Outing at pet movers and Mico's depression

Saturday was an eventful day. Was supposed to send a pair of poor unwanted rabbits to SPCA. At the last minute, a foster was found hence they were spared from their destiny temporarily. But there went my 1st visit to SPCA.

Brought Mico to pet movers to swim and play in the dog run. So many dogs in the dog run. Mico was so excited and she even ran up the ramp. But alas, my poor gal was so crowded out by other dogs and while she was on top of the ramp, another schauzer climbed on top of her. Then both of them fell off the ramp subsequently.

I could only watch helplessly as I was on the other side of the ramp and could not reach out in time. Luckily, my poor gal was ok.

Bought a elizabeth collar for her to prepare her for spaying. Put it on her at night. The whole time she had that one, she refused to move, eat, drink or even look at me when I walked past. Just like a dead dog.

Even after removing the collar the next morning, she still behaved like a dead dog..It was only after sayanging and giving her treats that she started to behave more normally.

Gosh, though my dear gal was sick..keke..

My sister said...Got attitude!

Snap Shots of Mico

Here's our Mico. Right after her shower. She's a timid doggie. Initially she was frightened easily by the sound from the ball, but she gradually get used to it.

As of 24 Oct 2006, Mico weights 4.5kg and19 in (includes her head). Mmm, getting bigger in size and heavier very fast :< Not so fun to play with already. Mico now is already 6mths old. We've decided to set her birthday same as Audrey (ie, 9th July). Actual age will be add 3months, hahaha.

Here's Mico pictures when she's with us in the 1st month.






Mico pictures when she is obedience





Mico pictures with her bed.





To prevent her solid our rooms, we did manage to get a box for her. She is quite used to the box to know and understand it's her new home.

Launch of MicoTan's Blog

Welcome to our dear doggie Mico's (aka Miko) website :-)

Well, why Mico aka Miko in the first place. Coz the stupid wife told the husband Mico, but he likes to call her "Co Co" (ie, "ko ko"). lol

To start off, Mico is Cavalier King Charles Spaniels breed. She joined our family on 9th July, on Audrey's birthday and, one day anniversary of our wedding dinner. We purchased her at Pet's Movers. We had earlier scouted a few places for this breed, but found their pricing very steep. There were two puppies to choose, but I was quick to select Mico as it's a 'her'. The breeder had warned us that if we select a "he", we got to beware of alot of things like peeing anywhere, etc. As for Audrey, she fond of Mico as she keep wagging her tails when we tries to carry her.

We had done up a website also to sell dogs products to help off-set the costs in maintaining Mico :-) Do support us at http://www.doggiezone.sg More write-up on Mico will come up shortly
