Dead cat

As usual, went jogging yesterday with Mico along the canal. Saw what resembled a dead cat carcass floating in the canal. Could not believe my eyes and looked again before continuing my jog. But when I went back again to confirm my findings, I did not see it anynore.
still left in suspense if my eyes were playing tricks or if someone cruel threw the cat into the river. Certainly, a cat would not jump into the canal itself.

doggie peanut biscuit

Baked biscuits for Mico.

Got the recipe from the three dog bakery book I borrowed from library.
Plain flour, honey, canola oil, peanuts, vanila essence and baking powder. Quite easy to make. I ate it myself too. Quite nice. Mico seemed to like it. Stupid Dar don't know how to appreciate it. Always think that I will poison him.

BARF & beatle

So gross. Mico played with the brown beatle. It got stuck onto her leg fur. She brushed it away and to play with it again. Finally ate it leaving only its legs. Then she continued licking the floor. Gross. Wonder if it is because i've started feeding Mico BARF since Monday. She loves Barf.

Initially she looked at the chicken wing, looked at me and wondered for a while. But soon she started eating. Since then, whenever I gave her raw meaty bones, she would dive in straight away.

Not eating kibbles anymore. Her poo has become white, very hard, lesser amount of poo and hardly gives out any smell. So good.

Disappointed

This CKCS, male, tri-colour was found abandoned and up for adoption. Went to visit him and so very much would like to have him. A brother for Mico.

Too bad, the fosterer decided to give to another couple so that he can be the only dog at home.

Disappointed but hope that he has gone to a good home with a loving family.

anyway, 2 dogs can be tedious. Don't think will have another dog unless it is CKCS. Then i wouldn't mind.

How much is that doggie in the window??


While getting her out, hit the panic button when I found the sliding door jammed. Tot her paws jutted out too much, causing the jam. Scared I hurt her in the process & cannot get her out. Ai ya, scare myself only. Discovered that it was my notepad in the next section of the cupboard causing the jam. Stupid me....hahhahaha..

Mico & I were too bored mah. hahaha

Mico can Swim

My dear Mico can swim liao. Yesterday we brought her to Sentosa. After tons of swimming lessons, she can finally swim with confidence instead of shaking with fear. All we have to do is to let her swim freely and go up the shore freely. that means I'll have to chase after her (for fear she goes up to shore to disturb people or go back to my things & trample all over with sand.) One lady shooed Mico before I could get to her but Mico completely din get a hint at all. Simply stayed on the spot. What a naive dog.

We were happily swimming and watching other toy breed dogs, who struggled in the water and headed towards shore hurrily. Some owners watched with envy while Mico swam, or at least i think so..haha..Only a puppy labordor seemed gungo to swim.

Reason for sterlisation

Many times, I asked myself or people asked me why I sent Mico for sterlisation. Most of the times, I could not really answer. Today I finally figured out why.

My poor Mico, it must have hurt. I know it was cruel but it would be more cruel to not to sterlise you and leave you yearning to have a sexual life. Afterall this is animal instinct. Call it kiasi, I do not want to lose you to cancer or see you kenna bullied by male dogs yearning to have sex when you do not wish to. I simply do not know how to take care of you if you got pregnant and do not want you to go through the dangers of pregnancy. Your offsprings, if you had, I would not be able to take care of them all myself. Neither did I want them to suffer and risk being abandoned. Thus I think I have made the right decision and I hope that you understand.

To me, you are more than a pet. You are my best friend, keeping me company whenever I am home. Since you came into my life, I never felt that I was at home alone you when you are around. Every morning, I wake up to receive greetings from you...yah..sometimes you are so lazy that you do not wish to leave your bed, just like me. I can disturb you even in the middle of the night and you would not have any grouches.

You bring me lots of fun and laughter with your antics and help to cement the love between your daddy and me. Your daddy, who never thought that he will have a dog, grow to love you more day by day. We will be celebrating your 1 year anniversary with us soon. Looking forward to more anniversaries. I love you, Mico.

A bad dream

Last night, I dreamt about Mico being knocked down by a car.

I off-leashed her the other day at the canal and asked her to down & stay. As i walked away from her, trying to train her stay, she simply could not bear to be away from me and would follow me. Then I wondered if this disobedience would result in her being in a car accident someday. At least I could save her if she followed my command. Thus i guess, triggered the occurence of my dream. I was so relieved that it was a dream when I woke up.

who should bear the cost

Recently someone bought a kong ball from me via Yahoo Auction. I offered 3 choices of collection, meet up , normal mail or registered mail, with the buyer bearing the cost of mail. She requested the item to be sent via normal mail. So i sent and she din receive.

Been 2 weeks and now she requested for me to give her another one or refund. Like that, it means that I bear the risk lor. But since she paid for postage and she opted for normal mail when i offered registered mail, shouldn't she be the one to bear the risk? I can also suspect that she received the item but simply wanted another. Her email din sound very nice too.

Hi AudreyI bought a kong ball recently and have yet to receiveit though you said you sent it.I have checked with Yahoo Auctions and they advised meto sort it out with you before taking any furtheraction.Can you please resend the item, or offer a refund?Alternatively, I could pick it up this time.Thanks.

Anyway, strange thing is that I had indicated my return address. Even if it din get to her, it should still return to me. I pasted 5 $0.22 stamps. Even if the item dropped out, the blank envelope should still go somewhere right?

Hubby said that do business must have goodwill, then will have good reputation. So no choice but to offer her another one lor..

In future, will not give anyone normal mail option. Learnt from my lesson.

Favourite picture of hubby & Mico


Technical difficulties






Lousy blogger. Couldn't update my blog recently as blogger was down whenever I wanted to write something...haha..so i forgot what I wanted to write.

Mico went for sterlisation on 8 May & recovered quite fast. But 1st 2 days, she pooed in the kitchen instead of the toilet. A bit loss of control. Went back to her usual self quite fast after that
The next day, she was already quite happily walking abt. So glad that I was not as what I envisioned, 1 week lying there motionless...haha

Growing old & being couch potato

Found so many strands of white hair recently. Too stressed or growing old? Sob Sob..
No choice, already have a nephew liao.

It's the time of the year for mugging books. But i don't have the determination to sit down & study. After every hour of studying, I will want to move about and do other things such as blogging, surfing net, doing housework etc. I'm a sucker for Romantic drama serials. Colleague loaned one to me recently, only to find myself unable to puck myself away from the TV screen. Corner with love. Watched & cried. So nice that I bought myself a set from yahoo auction. Also finished watching another set that sister lent me. Reason that I delayed buying a TV and lived with 14" TV for a year is that I do not want to be a couch potato. Somehow, there seems to be more important things in life to do...like filing myself with knowledge and passing my exams. Nevertheless, I love being couch potato. Can't pluck myself away from romantic drama serials. haha

Such is the life of a part-time student & full time employee. So no fun!

Sterlisation - 8 May

Countdown to Mico's sterlisation. 10 more days.
Hubby says never die a virgin! poor Mico
Anyway don't really know if Mico was humped by Boyce back then.
Maybe she isn't really a virgin anymore. hee

I only pity my poor pocket.

Jordan not coming anymore.

Jordan not coming anymore. So sad sob sob =(

Stupid Mico knows how to bark for water. because could not find water anywhere, even at the aircon pipes..show temper. Taking me for granted. I will report her to SPCO. Society Prevention of Cruelty to Owners!

Everytime bark bark bark at me. So rude. Knows I don't like her to bark she stil barks. Somemore only dares to bark at me. See other people and dogs, she don't know hide where, let alone make noise.

Hilarious Fren's blog

Had an interesting conversation with my sis.

J: I just spent 70 bucks on a stupid ovulation kit

Sis: how come

J: The rationale is ahem ahem after Ovulation with 6 days of ahem ahem abstinance can increase the Y chromosome & produce a Son.

J: But I cannot detect an ovualtion after using up the test kit

Sis: Who the bloody hell said tat

J: References from internet, what said u ?

Sis: TOTALLY Rubbish

Sis: the epididymis where the sperm is stored has millions and millions of sperm XX and YY

J: but YY die fast

Sis: ask ur hubby to recompartmentalise his sperms, tat's more practical

Sis: NOTHING CAN HELP..it is absolutely random; from the scientific view, nothing can coax the XY sperm to go and the XX sperm to stay in his epdidymis

J: How abt 6 days of sex abstinace

Sis: i suggest going to temple & pray to Zhu Sheng Nian Nian to pray for a Son, more practical this way

Sis: So rubbishy lor, cmon man if there is a way to choose male female, then all the diary farms will choose the best timing to get female calves (to get milk)..just cannot one lah

J: hmm

Sis: those families with 1 whole string of daughters, u think they never sought for ways to get a son meh..this kind of things how to control..dun waste $$$ liao, go Shuang Lin Shi pray for son and donate $$ if succeed

It is sheer luck & nothing else!

J: Darn

Sis: aiyah..dun be too upset lah, yi que shui yuan bah

Happy Feet

2 days ago, Mico kept tapping her feet. Only her right hind leg. Don't know why she kept tapping it. At first, I thought she was scratching. But she din seem to scratch. She even tapped while she walked, just like Happy feet. heehee. Hopefully not another case of ticks.

New Bed




New Bed from Ikea. Cheap. Only $15. Comfy Comfy. Mummy also grabbed 4 bowls from Ikea. 50 cents each only. So kiasu. I only need 2 bowls - 1 eating, 1 drinking. Mostly I hate to eat from my bowl. Mum said 4 bowls are just in case any foster dog comes by or for pet sitting purposes.
