1st Grooming

Before

After

Turns out to be a bad experience.
So scared of grooming now.
Made me so itchy and I scratched till i bled.
Mummy realised her mistake and decided that I should never go for grooming again.
The only good thing is that Mummy can do less housework nowadays since I shed less fur.

3rd Year as part of Tan Family

9 July 2009 is the 3rd year since I was brought into the Tan Family.

Here's to our 3rd year together and many years to come

Poor me

Beach Bum & Me

Haven been to the beach for the longest time ever. Missed swimming.
Last Friday, I finally had my swim. Daddy was swimming with Matthew while I swam with Mummy. Usually while swimming, I will go to Daddy to ask him to hold me while I rest. But this time around, Daddy was holding Matthew and I knew that Matthew would not be able to support my weight. So I did not go near Matthew to rest and kept swimming forth and back to the shore. I could see that Matthew, the beach bum was having a good time watching me swim. I guessed it was very amusing to him as he usually swam at the swimming pool.

A pity that Mummy did not bring along the camera.

Me, the naughty dog

I'm such a naughty dog these days. Pooed and peed all over the kitchen while my daddy & mummy was at work. Daddy come home, scolded me and locked me in the toilet till Mummy came home.

Well, you see, I'm simply a negelected gal these days. Hardly go out for walks. Nobody to play with me. My nails get cut less often. I get less baths.

This morning, Mummy brought me out for a walk. Just Mummy and Me.
I was so happy and keep making happy 'whines'. It is simply so nice to spend time alone with Mummy again.

My skin problem is getting better ever since Mummy started to be more diligent. I get a supplement of fish oil, solid gold seameal and a spray of petzlife for my teeth. Hopefully my teeth and gums get better

3rd Christmas with Mico

On human breast milk

ever since Mummy asked in the forum if dogs can drink human breast milk and someone said it is the best next to some other milk, Mummy has been giving me leftovers from Matthew.

So whenever Matthew drinks his milk, I will be there too. =)

I am sad..so sad

I will not be able to see my aunt's dog, Maisy again.

You see, she has been given up for adoption.

She is going to a lovely family who lives in a house. 

No longer have to stay in a HDB flat and feel restricted, neglected.

My Aunt is having her 2nd kid and simply has no time to care for Maisy anymore.

Out of love and for Maisy's benefit, she is given away.

I hope Maisy adapts to her new family soon and I will miss her.

Sob Sob.

I can totally understand cos since Matthew is born, my mummy does not have much time for me either.  We seldom go for walks now.

But my mummy assures me that I will not be given away.

Simply because I am a small dog, toilet trained at home unlike Maisy, a GR that needs space and walks.

Mummy's sadness

Sentiment from Mummy:

Ever since Matthew is born, Mico has been ignoring Mummy

Oops my secret has been exposed

I love to sleep in Daddy's and Mummy's wardrobe.

It is a 3 door sliding wardrobe and I love to sleep in the centre portion as it has a lot of clothes lying around. It is so comfortable.

Even though Mummy created a cosy corner in the wardrobe for me, I prefer to sleep on daddy's clothes.

The adults always close the centre portion but they did not realise that I can get in myself without their help until recently.

While I was pushing the sliding door, Daddy saw me in the act. Oops. Caught red-handed.

Subsequently, Daddy started teaching me the trick "cupboard"..

i soon learnt it very fast.

Yummy Yummy

It's been a long time since Mummy gave me milk.

But the milk i drank yesterday tasted different.

As usual, Matthew was fussing and Mummy was in the midst of pumping milk.

She had to pause to get to him and in her urgency, she knocked off the pump, spilling some milk on the floor.

There I was, just right beside the milk and did not dare to go near it for fear of Mummy scolding me.

Once Mummy left, I licked it all up & left no residue at all. Tongue licking good...Yummy

Matthew & Mico

Hair loss

My 20cents wound on the head seems to be healing after mummy diligently applied anti fungal gel on it for the 4 days. However, no more hair on the wound. I wonder if my hair will grow again or that area will be baldless.

I was also given a DIY hair cut by my mummy & uncle last week. Mummy bought a shaver and both of them held me and cut my fur. I was quite scared and kept figeting. Anyway it was not such a bad experience. My fur is not very short and they did not manage to cut my pretty long fur near my neck area for fear of accidental cuts.

Todate, the floor seems to be cleaner and less vacuuming needed.

Hair cut

Before

After

With Matthew on the way, Mummy bought a shaver and cut my fur so that I shed less. Become so much shorter. Do i look pretty?

I itch, I itch

Itchy head, so i scratched. Now got a 20 cent coin wound which my mummy is very worried about. So I had to wear E collar. Very uncomfortable wearing it whole day long till i get sores at my neck area.

Attention seeking

With Matthew coming along anytime now, i feel that Mummy & Daddy is giving me less and less attention. Maybe it's just being over sensitive.

So I deliberately anyhow pee, poo and shred newspapers just to get their attention.

Actually I know that Mummy and Daddy do not love me any less. EG, I got a new cushion this week after my old smelly bed was damaged and thrown away. Daddy even put me on the bed and sleeps besides me despite disapproval from Mummy. They still bring me out whenever they can. Be it a short drive or a short walk.

The only thing nowadays is that I get less grooming. Mummy's tummy is simply too big to groom me. Daddy is very lazy hence I only get shower once a fortnight after constant nagging from Mummy. My nails do not get cut and are growing long. I get very scared and shivers whenever rough Daddy tries to cut my nails.

Happy 2nd Anniversary with Mummy & Daddy

Today is my 2nd anniversary with Mummy & Daddy. 2 years since mummy & daddy brought me home. As I don't know my birthday, I consider today my brithday.

As a treat today, I get to eat durian puff from emicakes. Yummy, simply delicious ! Paw licking good. I love durians =)

Successful weight loss plan

Wow, i'm now a skinny version compared to 2 months ago when rover came over.

I am now 6.6kg compared to my previous 7.5kg. =)

No separation anxiety

Over the last few months, I realised that there is a trend for fruits. Daddy would come home at night and immediately head for the kitchen to cut fruits for Mummy. In the morning, when daddy leaves home, he'll always give me some treats before leaving the house.
It is such a good thing when Daddy leaves homes and come back. I am so unlike my fellow friends who have separation anxiety. They do not like to be away from their hooman pals. Me, I love the moment Daddy prepares to leave the house. Always standby in the kitchen waiting for my treats. I am totally happy staying at home alone.
