Mico deserved it

LS after stealing dehydrated treats to eat...

Mico's weight when I bought her

Before I forget in years to come, I better note it down since it was a significant no.
Mico was 3 kg when I bought her at 3-4 months.

Mico, the thief - caught red-handed

The guilty Look...
Crime convicted with evidence below.

Before I could take any shots of Mico's greedy face while eating the dehydrated treats, she ate them all while we were out.

I had placed 2 packets of treats (sealed in their packaging)- the pack of dehyrated treats & a pack of cheese fondue on my sofa. Usually treats sealed in their packaging would remain untouched when Mico was given free roaming access.

Initially I had cornered Mico & Rover in the kitchen when we left. As I had forgotten my wallet and came back for it, I found both of them roaming free in the living room. Hence decided to put Rover in the playpen. I thought Mico could do harm so I let her free access.

While we were out watching " the underdog", Mico committed the act. She was caught red handed with the evidence. See pictures of the remains.

The dehyrated treats really smelt so nice. Mico must have loved it so much that she tore the ziplock bag, plastic bag and ate them all. The pack of cheese fondue remain untouched.

Mico is making me toy with the idea of buying the food dehyrator machine again. Perhaps Christmas, perhaps.

Rover & Mico again - 20 sept to 23 sept

Rover is here to board with us for another 3 days. Gee, Rover is so guai, more guai than Mico. Some kind soul gave Mico a pack of dehyrated treats (home made). Both Mico & Rover were so eager & happy to eat it till Mico accidently bit my finger.

Mico & skin woes

Poor Mico. Have been itchy for at least a month. she has been having itchy pimples, sometimes with pus about 3 times. the 1st 2 times, i applied aloe vera gel and put her on e-collar. The red angry pimples subsidied after about 3 days while some raw wounds into scabs, which meant that her skin was healing. Before they could fully heal, a new bout of pimples would appear & she would scratch them as well as the old wounds.

Today is the 3rd bout of pimples. Wondering what could trigger the allergy. I do not want to bring her to the vet and unsubject her to any unnecessary medicine. I need to find out the source of allergy to lessen her itch. Would have to monitor her diet. Suspect that she may be allergic to sand.

I vaguely recalled bringing to the East Coast Park for a walk along the beach after which the 1st bout of pimples occured.

Yesterday, we were at Sentosa. Diet was Canidae lamb kibbles & Bow Wow mixed snacks. Nothing else.

Man, the superior gender - a fact of life

As usual, during class, lecturer would off-track at times to share his experiences, stories, opinion on issues etc.

Facing a class of 90% female, he mentioned that many companies discriminated against women. He advised that if we were to look for a new job, singles should not mentioned that they planned to get married. Married ones should not mentioned about plans to have kids. Most companies would not hire a woman as an top executive unless she is single and tough like the boys. Must also be able to withstand dirty jokes that men crack, entertain clients and drink till 2am daily. Even if any woman could do this, no men would be able to tolerate their wives coming home at 2am daily. When kids got sick, the woman would be the ones going home to take care of them instead of the men.

All the talk about equality of gender is rubbish!

What he said simply supports my believe that men & women are never equal.

Mico - I learnt new trick!

I learnt a new trick today. With the help of treats of course! Why else would I want to learn a new trick other than being able to help myself to plenty of treats!

I learnt how to "Turnover", which is basically to roll my body over. Actually, it's so simply but my mummy is so fascinated. Ah! Humans can be so simple minded.

Bad Bad Mico

Yesterday I got very angry with Mico.
The previous day, I discovered her peed on the sofa. Had to wash & dry the sheets.
Next morning, I found her poo on the floor rag. Furthermore, it was the soft type so I had to mop the floor and wash the rag.
Before I went out, I decided to put the freshly laundered sheets back onto the sofa.
Came back home a few hours later to find her pee on the sofa again. A different spot this time.

I was so mad with Mico that I decided to lock her in the toilet for the rest of the day while I went out. I simply refused to come home early to let her out. I knew that if i were to go home early, I would let her out. So she stayed in the toilet for 5 hours while I went mum's place & IMM.

When i opened the toilet door, she was so happy to see me and behaved as if she did nothing wrong. Apparently, after the few hours, she seemed to have forgotten about the incident. But I was still mad, ignored her and locked her in the kitchen for the night.

Usually, I would get over her naughtiness after 1 or 2 hours. But yesterday, I was simply so mad. Others say that dogs have a forgiving nature. I wondered the reality of it. Is it true? I doubt so. Why else would Mico behave this way other than throwing temptrums?
Seriously, I could not think of any other reason.

Mico & birds

Mico is wonderful with recall now. We went jogging this morning and after our jog, I deliberately took a slow walk so that she could check out the surroundings. Being the dog that was bullied by a crow when she was a pup and now fully grown and fearsome to birds, she gave chase to the birds. My intention was to check out the reliability of her recall and while she was chasing birds halfway, I called her back. Immediately, she stopped in her chase and came back running to me. How proud I was of Mico!

ckcs

the gal who wanted to give me her ckcs called yesterday to ask me to take the dog. Earlier, I had already given up hope that she would give up her dog.
But I had in mind a nice friday with dar and already had plans so I told the gal I could not take in the dog yesterday. Now wondering if she will still give me the dog. Perhaps it went to another person already. I think ultimately, I'm not desperate for another dog, which was why i did not cancel my plans yesterday.
Anyway, I'll just wait. If the dog comes, then i'll love him like I love Mico. Otherwise, I will not think of him again.

MP4 player

I never even own an MP3 player before.

But now, I got this.
