Dogs of Bali

During the visit to Bali, I found that they have many dogs roaming the streets. Be it stray or owned as I assume those with collars are owned. However most of these roaming dogs seems docile and seldom bark at strangers. I guess is the environment which is very relaxing, at peace...
The other thing I realize, their stray dog sizes which usually classified as medium-sized seem smaller than ours.. Is it of the food they eat diff from ours??
Saw one "blackie" at Lembongan island off Bali

Doggies body language

Got this from my fren's fb and find it quite accurate

Company management

got this from someone's fb page and think quite funny.

Is Blackie still missing Marley?

Sometimes we though she forgot, sometimes we think she does......

Today, she made us feel she did not forget Marley....
She barked at the lorry that run over Marley non-stop angrily till the lorry drove off......
after the incident, the lorry did not drive into that area too much...
from her location, she is also not able to see it.
Today, at the staircase she saw the lorry and barked non-stop......
Ah-Bu says maybe she still remembers..... or maybe she only remember hating that vehicle?

whatever .........and it had almost been a yr.
I miss her too.......

Their Breed

Whenever I go to the shop and buy things, they like to ask me what are my dogs' breed......
If to the vet, sometimes I would say "Mongrels" because some vets they like them but some they will "hiam"
There is once, when i walked into the grooming shop and they asked the same question, suddenly I spotted one familiar looking one, I say look like it.......
the one i pointed is Doberman....... =P

don't their color look like them?????? these are puppies by the way, they dont look like the adult version because that is too big......

but I was said by my family, I think too much and too highly of my dogs! >.<"

anyway, just now while reading up on them again.....

The Doberman was developed in the 1880s by Louis Doberman of Apolda in Germany. He wanted a ferocious, short-coated, medium- to large-sized dog with courage and stamina, and developed his stock around the German Pinscher, which was both alert and aggressive. To this he introduced the Rottweiler with its stamina and tracking ability, the Manchester Terrier from which the Doberman inherited its markings, and possibly also the Pointer. The Doberman was given official recognition as a breed standard in Germany in 1900. A fine obedience and show dog, the Doberman can make a good family pet, but it needs knowledgeable handling and training, being wary of strangers and constantly "on guard." It needs a lot of exercise, and should be groomed every couple of days.

they also origin another breed call Manchester Terrier (Pictures as below)

But above breeds are all pedigree Breed, meaning they have a standard size/weight to match bah.....

Mine indeed are far from their standards.....

even though i seriously think they look like them haaaaaa......

Anyway, in Singapore, they can not be called as mongrels and called as "Singapore Specials"

Whatever their breed is, our fates have been linked.....they are always my dogs!

Look like my dogs

was looking around for quotes regarding dog and came across this pic, took it because of its color....
but it's not my dogs......i think Fifi resemble it =P 

unconditional love

Blackie & Fifi pictures - 09/08/2011

In a heartbeat

Blackie Photos.......

Although Fifi is cuter, I love taking photos of Blackie......because she is calmer, easier to take photos and her expressions sometimes quite funny on photos

"I Love Singapore".......but with an emo look!

"Dun Mess with me!" with a "cigarette" puffing away..... =P

Is my glare scary enuff? You better not come near me.......haaaaaa

B&F - photo

Ok, Fifi - 10mths old......as her growing slows down, she almost catch up to blackie's size.

Now that she is longer/taller....she likes to stand up and see things like - her reflection in the toilet's mirror /windows, scenery over the ledge, over the wall to see blackie....and at the window to see inside....
She is about Marley's size, or much longer.. as of now. Let's see whether will she reach Blackie's build at 1 yr old!

Blackie & Fifi pictures

Two Dogs with different characters gave me two diff pics when i ask them to let me take photos..... >.<"

"I'm smiling!!!"

Do I look like I'm smiling???

My Blackie @ 2 yrs 2 Mths old

I decided to do an introduction of Blackie!

My Blackie...... a very cool dog, that doesnt show her affection easily....

although i may not b her top love, I should be #3.....but i know she loves me!

Thank you for coming into my life! 

Always loving & taking care of Marley & Fifi....You are the best sister they ever had/have. 

Blackie's trait: Turn deaf-ear to instructions she dun like, stubborn, love fish /fishy products, selective with food, very fierce when food is stolen, good runner, v cool (not easy to display affections)

Thank you for coming into my life! 

Always loving & taking care of Marley & Fifi....You are the best sister they ever had/have. 

*bang*

Jus saw doggiefriend posted some photos of dogs auditioning. They are asked to play dead and can't help remembering how I taught Marley to learn "bang" and she has to lie on her side play dead. I only taught her in one day but she learned it despite refusing to do it properly. She is so smart. Blackie is too cool to put up with us making her do this. I doubt teaching fifi this is easy. Haiz.... I really miss my marley alot, if only I can "bang" you one time and u will peep at me to see will I give u treats!

I miss u alot, can u come to my dreams next time and give me some happy times and not those nightmares tat I have to wake up feeling more heartache? Minh says dreams are opposite of reality, so mayb u are doing fine wherever u r. If this so, heartache so b it, I still hope to see u in my dreams again. I miss u badly...

Fifi on TV

only managed to get it from website, so cannot rec the sound, or rather i dunno how to lah......

they say will give me a clip of the video, but no news yet......haiz, wonder will they still remember, umph!

Chitocure Rejuvenating Bath

because of this Chitocure Rejuvenating Bath, i searched high and low. I remembering buying the last bottle off the shelf from Vivo's Pet Safari. When i go back months later, it's still not in stock. Then i went to Nex.......which is supposed to be new and big but also no stock!!!! then whichever shop i came across i will try my luck, is it so hard to get this bottle???

Finally, i asked the lady that cut the nails for my 2 doggies, do you have this as i saw it in the poster of Chitocure Products....and she told me 

"We did not bring it in because it was hard to sell"

duhz!!!!!!! i still tot it dis-continued lor!

why i insist finding this "rejuvenating bath"....one pt is it smells nice lah, but it's not the most impt point! the point is Blackie shows less signs of irritations if we rinse her with this as the last step of her weekly bath. so boh bian, we have to find it. I tried rinsing her with Dettol but it's no use. Sometimes I really think if Blackie never meet us, how can she survive under the Bangla's care. Her skin is so sensitive!!

and so what they are mongrel, we treated/loved them very well ok! it takes some effort to take care of them.

and hello ZhangYD, dun say our dogs are "ye gou/stray dogs", you shd maintain ur public image and at least show some respect to the owners! you think stray dogs got manners to act with you meh! 

Lucky, i did not ask to take a grp photos with him and FWong.....else it will be like me wanting to flatter  them. and I have to emphasize, it is MDC wanting to get a dog to act and they approached ASD, I did not go for any interview/audition to get my dog in. 

Dun say my dog is "ye gou" is you all asked for her to act, not I beg you all to take her in!

*angry*

back to the bath, luckily we managed to find it in online shop - doggy friend. 

but i have to spend at least $60 in order to free-shipping, and after getting conditioner, tea-tree shampoo and some treats the total bill is 96.70 duhz!!!! this mth is replenish month, i bought their treats for 40+ jus days ago. I save on myself to spend on them, duhz!

Be Happy - Channel 8

Fifi's scene will be appearing most probably next week.....she is supposedly to be in from ep12-19
it's only one scene at Fann Wong's living room !!!!!!! so please support and take note our little girl's acting!!!
Hope her scenes wont be deleted!!!!! *fingers crossed*

Big Paws

what we noticed about Fifi is that she got quite big paws for her size....which we believed she will grow beyond 2.5FT...

















Today, we came across this article with this quote:

Puppies that are going to grow into larger dogs, often will have over sized paws to begin with, and then the rest of them grow to fit.

okie........ we will see how it goes.
Anyway now her size is more proportionate to her body liao. Not like when she is 3-4mths old.

19th Feb 2011 - Fifi went for spaying

Fifi Went for spaying on 19th Feb 2011 (Saturday).... while waiting to go in, she is clueless and she was so happy to make fren with the dr she didnt even turn her head and look for me! 

4 hrs later, we went to collect her.....she was brawling when we first stepped in, and threatened to break the clinic's cage and spoil the mat that was used to keep her. and later she became this state while waiting to collect her medicine. Grouchy and drowsy due to the GA.....and she is angry with me, i think she felt betrayed by me as she gave me the cold shoulder until into the car when she need some TLC......haaaa  

back in the office, she refused food which is unusual as she wouldnt reject food and only drank few mouths of water.....everybody seeing her in tis state felt "poor thing" as she also vomited 4 times (once in the clinic)

 But the devil in her only subside for that day as the next day she is back as usual. Like 饿鬼!

we gave her a t-shirt to wear so that the wound would not be so exposed to the environment and Blackie also wants it, so both have an old tshirt to wear....

Fifi to Spaying Operation

Our Fifi will be spayed tomorrow.......can't help being abit worried. 

Although is a small operation, and it will be my 3rd time bringing a dog to being spayed, I still felt worried.

Hope nothing goes wrong!!! Bless her!

Btw, saw another few news abt stray dogs getting injured and left in the wild....haiz.

hopefully more strays are being sterlized/spayed so that there wont be too many pitiful ones roaming all over the places. 

Pls help to opt to adopt! There are also purebreds waiting for new owners to love them again!

Happy Valentine Day!

Chinese New Year!

Blackie, Fifi and their mother had a great time this CNY (as in the first few days) except that when there are lion dances in the area. 

Hope everyone had a great day! More photos on the way......

Happy Chinese New Year

Blackie & Fifi

 Dun be upset................ we will go out one day!

Fifi to MDC

why are we at the Mediacorp???

heeeeeeeee it's because they needed a local pup and ASD give them a pic of Fifi, so they say she fit the bill and need Fifi in for one scene!
 but because it seem abit sensitive to take pic during their acting......PLUS we are equally busy with Fifi acting because we need to guide/coax/bluff her to act what is required.

Although it will be like a 1min scene......but it takes 2 hrs to film it (including waiting time).....
Anyway........do look out for Fifi's apperance on Channel 8 9pm drama <生日快乐〉shd be about ep12-20...starring along with Fann & Z.YaoDong to be aired in mid-march.

New Clothes for CNY 2011

Helping them to fit their dress, Blackie in her Red Dragon Kua......but make her looks too MAN! and the Fifi behind smiling away.......

Marley-Mi is back in the car with me.

Fifi - Our first dog to send to obedience training

As she grow to get used to us, she is getting more and more naughty, and due to too much training with Blackie, now her running is faster than last, making us harder to catch her.

Therefore, we decide to send her to obedience training, but earliest will be in march......but just as well, as she will be spayed next month. =D

Nail Cutting

Today We bought Blackie & Fifi for nail cutting. Maybe some owners will feel how come pay ppl to cut for them, but truth is, we are not able to cut them they either put up a fight or struggle/run away. it is v hard to keep them down to cut and we ownselves also struggle fearing to cut too deep and cut their veins.

Blackie likes gng out..... and it is quite rare that she is willing to pose for me......

it is Blackie's third nail-cutting and Fifi's first...the whole nail cutting session only took us 15mins for both of them. The groomer even praise them very obedient, which i thought i heard wrongly.

The last time we went, it took 30mins for Blackie & Marley. Blackie maybe took 5-10 mins, it is Marley, she almost escaped and run out. Whined non-stop.. I almost wanted to go in and help but was stopped.

The first time Marley went nail cutting with Blackie, Marley was whining/yelping/struggling till a crowd was form outside the shop to see what is going on -.-" and i have to hug her to comfort her in the end, the groomer allow me to go in, cuz else they are not able to cut for her. But because Marley doesnt like running, so her veins grow with the nails, thus all the nails are bleeding, cant help feeling her pain, but still have to cut lah.

Now that it is so fast, was not really used to it and too un-eventful i must say, other than Fifi barking back at the dog that was doing grooming before we walk in. On the way back, was missing Marley, memories of going nail cutting flash back. Although I complained her making a scene every time we go nail cutting, I enjoyed it because there are always many situations that caught me unaware, maybe making my life more exciting.

After tat, we went up the hill and tried Blackie's new retractable leash, I'm so afraid that blackie will spoil it lor, i think her strength is more than 25KG but one thing I am sure, so far Blackie always managed to find the way back to the lorry wherever we go. Maybe that is the reason why she has to shit once she get off lorry, to do a marking! Luckily i brought the poo-bag out.

Anyway Fifi grown longer and taller @ length 62cm.
