This is just a short message from me, since my human got back from UK, I've been very busy tyring to stay close to her.

Anyway, as with my yearly Christmas greetings, I hope that everyone will have a fantastic year, all doggies have great homes to go to, more people open to having dogs around, more people taking care of their doggies and other animals and... and.. more yummy mum-mums for all.. ESPECIALLY ME!!!

Merry & Blessed Christmas!!!!!!

Another Senseless Killing

Another piece of news has caused me to be very disturbed... To cut the story short, it is about the inhumane killing of a stray dog within a school compound. It happened right in front of the school's chemistry lab; with 100 students in the block where the incident occurred.

Both parties are to blame in this matter. The principal of the school hadn't heard of the SPCA? The Ipoh City council workers should have had more sense to take the dog away instead of killing it in front of pupils. Imagine if the workers were not "sharpshooters", and the bullet hit a student, that would be a big piece of news.

These people have absolutely no brain nor heart whatsoever. They kill an animal just because it was diseased and was a nuiscance. Why didn't they call the SPCA? I'm sure that they would have picked up the animal and cared for it. Who knows, the dog would have found a good home.

Imagine this... If someone took your kid out to be shot, just because your kid was diseased and a nuiscance (which alot of kids are - being at an incorrigible age), would you allow it?

Anyway, I doubt anything will happen even with the outcry, because these people treat stray dogs as nuiscance and sub-animal (due to certain religious practices).

*SIGH*....

Painters...

Hmmmm....

The house smells weird. My humans tell me that the house is being painted. (?????)

I have limited sense of colour and so, to me, it still looks the same, except that all the humans belongings have moved from one place to another. That means, more stuff for me to sniff out!! Yay!!!

Anyway, some other humans which I don't like come to the house everyday to slap on the paint on the walls, ceillings and doors. It makes me a little sick. However, I have to stand guard because my human told me too.

I'm sooo tired... soo sooo tired... Please let me "doo-doo" here... ZZZzzzzz =.=

A Fellow Nature Lover Dies...!!!

I got the greatest shock in my life! Steve Irwin had died from a freak accident.

(T___T)... Another nature lover taken, but he died what he loved doing best. Being close to nature, trying to educate others about all things made by God, big and small, dangerous and docile, poisonous and safe...

May God bless his family during this time.

More details here from The Age (Australian newspaper)...

I'm THREE???!!!

Yummy...
If the picture isn't clear, it's because of my human...

My humans tell me that I'm older today. I can't understand why... I still feel the same like yesterday. I'm still chewing on my bone.

I noticed one thing though, every time at midnite on the eve of my b'day, there would be these loud explosions which wakes me up from my beauty sleep and cause me to be very irritated. Those darn crows get agigated too. They think that some people are out to shoot them. ^^

Anyway, yes.. I'm THREE... I'll be waiting for my customary cake and gift.

So, where is your gift to me?

I'm Ready For My Close-Up!!

Can you guess what this is??

This is my most favourite thing in the whole wide world. Its the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning.

Its the first thing that pops in my wee little head even before I start chasing any of the birds or cats who have wandered into my territory.

Its... Its... My doggy toy...

ME LOVE IT TO BITS!! ^__^

Finally!! Some Sense!!

My human came across this piece of news online. Read it! After reading about how those 13 dogs died, it is about time someone/some people step into tell these idiots that this is NOT a proper thing to do. (>___<)

Hopefully, they are able to understand this. My only fear is that the top level management may understand but the downlines, the low level workers at the ground level may not carry out the instructions from management properly. (T__T)

Another Piece Of Sad News - 13 Dogs Die

I was browsing through The Star this morning and came across some very disturbing news about an owner of 25 dogs losing 13 of them to death by shotgun. The same news had been reported by The Sun as well.

Select on this image for the larger picture of the front-page article

If you read the story closely, the owner had been given numerous notices to move the dogs, put them up for adoption or even put some of them to death (humanely). It's quite sad to read this piece of news. Imagine, having been asked to put one of your best friends to death, because it's the law. This is a hypothetical question and of course, it isn't possible, but what if you were asked to do so? It's not a pleasant thing to do.

I didn't like the way the situation was being handled. Municipality officers coming to the house, armed with guns, shooting down the dogs in the owner's house! That's just cruel and inhumane! Couldn't they have brought in a van or lorry to take these dogs somewhere to be put to sleep by a vet? The worse part was, along with the municipality officers, the Veterinary Services Department (VSD) officers were there as well. Shouldn't these people have some decency to remove the dogs from the premises before humanely putting them to sleep?

This is just utterly barbaric. Shooting dogs is not like shooting crows as these dogs were confined, had no place to run and these people were firing guns in a housing area!! What if a small child was nearby and the gun misfired and hit the child instead of the dog? Isn't that dangerous??

Anyway, I can't complain much as I've been told, "if you don't like this country, get out!". *sigh*...

Sure, these officers were just "carrying out orders", making a living, just doing their job. So, I can't blame them. I can only blame the senior municipal officers, whom they report to, because they are the ones making the policies and processes on how to handle such situations. X-(

Anyway, I know that God will make these animals whole when they meet him in heaven. I pray to God for forgiveness for these people for they know not what they did.

Let us take a moment of silence for the 13 dogs who died...

Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

He replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

Sad News...

Moose a.k.a "Eddie"
(24th Dec 1990 - 22 June 2006)

A very piece of sad news has reached my ears this morning, the infamouse "Eddie" (Moose) from Frasier has passed on to go meet our Lord at the Rainbow Bridge.

He was a good dog, rescued from the pound by his trainer and has entertained us for many years before retiring, letting his son Enzo take over the reigns of being "Eddie" on Fraiser.

One day, we shall meet up over the Rainbow Bridge, just like I wait for the day to meet my Oofy there.

As a tribute, we should watch "My Dog Skip" as Moose was featured prominently there. Note though, you may end up crying at the end of the movie.

Snoopy: My doggy friend is gone. I howl in sadness... :(

Sign the SPCA Petition!!!

A doggy friend sent this link to a petition earlier this morning, urging me to sign a petition so that the cruelty laws would be ammended. The current law only fines the offender RM200, a paltry sum for such a heinous crime against our four-legged friends.

This petition will urge for a change to the law to have the fine up to RM10,000 so that it will deter such offenders.

Anyway, please do lend a hand/paw to help out the SPCA of Malaysia.

I'm finally feeling much better, thanks!

Yes! Yes! I don't look like a 猪头 (pig head) now. Kekekeke... As you can see, I'm laughing now.

Thanks for all the well wishes! My human says that I must be kuai kuai now... Very hard of you to ask me to be like that... ^_^

Stinging Experience

Here I am again... I'm not looking my best. Neither am I feeling very good either.

This evening, I felt a very stinging and itching sensation on my the left-side of my muzzle. No matter what I did, the itch kept getting worse.

In the end, my entire face became all swollen and puffy. It shocked my humans. It really did.

My humans were very very very concerned. They couldn't recognize the little JRT in me. :( My head was swollen, puffy with tiny swollen bumps all over. My human checked my body and found that it was like an allergic reaction rash.

Anyway, my humans rushed me to the nearest vet. Our regular place was closed for the night. Lucky for me, the vet was about to depart for a housecall. So, he examined me, asked something about snakes. He couldn't find anything wrong, and he gave me a jab.

My human mentioned something that I was scratching my face, and so, he gave me another jab to calm me down.

It sure made me feel woozy as when I got home, I couldn't feel my land legs. I felt groggy and disoriented. My humans made me go to sleep.

Anyway, I'm feeling kind of lousy now. If you can pass me some bones, that would be good. -_-

World Cup and Humans

Ahhh.. Every 4 years, my humans get very excited -- so they tell me.

I am not sure about this phenomenon which grips them and makes them glued to the TV as I'm still a very young pup. But I can tell, this "World Cup" thing is sure making them feel very very excited.

Oh well, I can just sit back and laugh at their antics as they "bark" at the TV. Kekekeke...

Shhhhh.. Boss is Sleeping....

Shhhhh.... The "boss" is sleeping...

I had a really rough morning and I'd suppose I've earned my nap time. I really need my power nap so that I can have enough energy to do my job.

This chair so comfy. Nothing can get me away from my chair.... except for.... CHOCOLATEs and... "Kai-Kai"!!

In Hiding

3:00pm, Monday

What's the notion of time to a dog? I don't know how to read time, but I know what time of day it is.

The time of day is denoted by certain activities in a day. For instance,

Sky looks dark, the air has the smell of fresh dew - Early morning, probably 6:30am - 7:00am
Human gets dressed, carries a large bag - Time for my outing, probably 7:30am - 8:00am
Sun is hitting the glass and it feels warm - Time for my sunbathing, probably 9am - 11:00am

This is just a sampling of my "morning" activties.

**** VVVVRRRRROOOOOMMMMM ****

OH NO!!!! The Horrible Sucky Thingy is out to get me!!!! Ok... Time to hide but WHERE TO GO!

But wait.... I'm in somewhere safe. I'm in the room where that thing will not find me... Where am I? I'm in the Big One's Room enjoying the air-cond for the day.. Aaaaaaahhh.. Phew!!

Bodyguard...

"Yes? May I help you?"

The humans have given me a new job. I'm now a BODYGUARD/SECURITY GUARD to my Old Man. The reason is because my Old Man gets around so much that I have to keep an eye on him.

Wherever he goes, I go. He goes to the loo, I'll be outside waiting for him.

He eats at the dinner table, I wait at his side, looking up and woofing once in a while to get some tasty "mum-mum".

If I'm tired, I'll sit at my chair (which has a direct line of sight all the way to the kitchen) and watch him do his work around the kitchen.

He goes to the garden, I follow too, though, I get very distracted by the cats walking behind the house.

He goes out at night, I won't go to sleep until he comes home. I do this to all the humans...

However, this job is only when my Old Man is around. Sometimes, he asks me to "Stay" when he goes out. I get very disturbed by this because I'm his bodyguard and I should follow him around.

Kekekeke... Some people may call this possessiveness, it's just my way of making sure that you don't go anywhere without my knowledge.

OwWWWWwwwwww...

No.. I'm not howling... I'm actually in pain.

I was out walking with my humans and naturally since I'm their master, they carried me rather than they walk me. So, I was in my human's arms when the "incident" happen.

Apparently, my human said that I jumped out of his arms when I got excited. I wonder if it was because he slipped and let me fall. Hmmm...

None the less, my little leg is aching now. My humans have decided to apply some heat therapy to it so that my muscle would heal better. Well, nothing less than TLC would help heal my wounds now.

I think they felt kind of bad, seeing me in pain, limping around and not going up to them to ask them to play fetch or something. They got me some treats and wet food!! Yum!

Anyway, I'll try to look poorly for the next few days and milk as much as I can from this situation! Nyah Nyah!!

The humans are back!! *yawn*

Contrary to the picture, I'm actually very excited that my other humans are back.

They came back yesterday afternoon and my other human slave kept telling me that they should be back in the afternoon.

I thought it was all an April Fool's Day trick but it turned out to be true!!

My humans did return in the afternoon. My tail is so darn tired from all that wagging that I had to sleep today.

Anyway, they brought back lovely things but nothing for me.... Hmmmm....

It's ok! As long as I have all my human slaves accounted for, I'm happy!! Now, I can sleep in peace.. ZZZZ

I Miss My Humans

Some humans are missing...

I can't seem to find them. I'm sure that they are somewhere but I can't seem to find them. I've asked my other human to take me out on the car to help me look for them. So far, it has been unsuccessful as all I can find are just dogs and cats walking on the roads.

I'm really worried. My human has tried to comfort me by taking me to her room but it doesn't feel the same. I feel more comfortable in my missing humans room. The smell, the sounds.... You can't expect me to adapt to a new room that quickly, right? Sure, i may hang out in other rooms during the day but those are just nap-times.

Anyway, my other human slaves have tried to cheer me up by giving me certain yummy food, but how can I eat when I know some of my humans are missing??

*** SSIIGGGGGHHHH *** {~_~}

I'm legal!

Woof woof!!!

I'm finally "legal".

As you can see, I've got this big medal thing that is hanging from my beautiful collar. No, its not a gold medal from being the most picky eater from the Commonwealth Games, nor is it a medal of honour for having chased the most cats in the neighbourhood.

It's a dog license.

My human finally decided (after 1.7yrs of nagging - I'm nearly 3 by the way...) to get me my license from the city council. It didn't cost a lot and it wasn't such a hassle to get it but my human has been rather busy with stuff that he forgot to make me legal.

So, what does this mean?

Well, it means that I'm legally kept by my human (geez, who said anything about they keeping me, it should be the other way around) and they know that they can ensure that I won't get shot or rounded up because I'm not a stray.

Anyway, the next step --> identification tags!! Bloody hell, I feel like a mini Mr. T with all this jewellery around my neck. "I pity the fool who touch my paw! I pity the fool!!"

Hamburger (squeeeaaakkkk)

My human is so nice.

She figured that I missed one of my toys so badly and so, after she did the other day, she decided to continue onwards to fix up whatever toys which when "holey".

Anyway, I have this little hamburger toy which I chewed to bits... I of course, spread the love around when it got "holey". Cotton was everywhere and my humans were very angry with me. I didn't understand why.

So, now, I got my lovely hamburger back.

** SQUEEAK ** ** SQUEEAK**

Patience Rewards Those Who Wait...

Ah... patience, such a virtue.

Seems that us doggies have a lot of it, I reckon.

Anyway, I managed to find my favourite chew stuffed animal in the form of a Snoopy doll tucked away somewhere in the basket of toys. I did what I always did, since I couldn't reach the basket, I woofed.

"Woof"

-no response-

"WWWOOOOFFFF"

-no response again-

"WWOOOFFF.. RRRRRRR... WOOOFF WOOF"

Human 1: "Go and see what she wants."

** Human comes over to have a looksy to see what's happening **

Human 2: "She wants her old Snoopy chew-toy. Its in pieces, there's a big hole in the head."

Human 3: "No! You can't have this toy! You'll spread the cotton all over the place!"

I just gave a little whine and just smiled at them. Tried to apply some "Jedi mind-tricks" on Human 2 to get her to give it to me.

Human 2: "Ok, ok. I'll sew it up. Snoopy, you've just got to wait, ok?"

** Smiles... **

Anyway, the human took something to close up the big hole on my Snoopy toy. It took a while and I woofed a few times to ask "What's taking so long?". Eventually, my patience paid off and now, the Snoopy doll is fixed. Hurrahh!!!!

** Chew Chew Chew... **

Human 2: "How long do you think the toy will last?"

Human 3: "Probably 1 day."

Human 2: 0_O (shocked)....

Obedience class

Ah, the human received something about Obedience Class.

She looked at me and I looked back.

** PAUSE **

My human finally got the message that I was no longer teachable. In fact, I never was.

I do believe however, that the humans need to attend the How-To-Serve-Your-Dog-Master class refresher again.

Chocolate

Yes...

I've finally discovered this lovely treat... Chocolate.

Its all my human's fault actually. The human thought that she could get away by taking a bar of chocolate into the room and just having some of it while watching some Canto-comedy on TV.

Anyway, it smelt like milk and I was immediately drawn to it.

Licked my lips to tell my human that I was interested.

"No!! You're not having any of it!!"

Licked my lips again.

"No!! No!! Naughty girl-ly. You cannot have this!"

Gave the evil eye. - No effect........

Gave mournful eye. - No effect........

COMBO ATTACK!!!

Evil Eye + Licking of lips!!!!

"Ok!! You can have some............."

Yum!! We're eternally grateful.... We reward you with licks! *LICK*

Hahah!! Now, whenever my human opens the box, I know... Its chocolate time.... Nyah Nyah!!

新年快乐！！

恭喜发财 (Gong Xi Fa Cai) to all!!

Happy Chinese New Year!! Hope that the 财神 (cai shen - God of Wealth) will bring you lots of prosperity and joy to you and your family.

*Woof* *Woof* Happy Year Of the Dog!!

Year Of Dog

I just don't get it...

They are allocating a whole year for the dog soon...

Come on... Every year is the Year Of The Dog when I'm around. Hah!!

Gaseous Maximus....

Ah....

There is no better feeling than having gone for a good poop.. (^_____^)

I'm saying this because on Saturday, the 7th of January, I was feeling really really uncomfortable. I didn't want to eat or play, which caused my humans to be a bit worried.

Anyway, on top of that, they sat really, really, REALLY far away from me... (-______-)"

It turned out that I was passing gas... a LOT!!! *Phew*..... Lucky that I was sitting near the window... Hehehe....
