Streamyx Problem!!!

I'm sure most of you in Malaysia use Streamyx Broadband or Dial-Up, right? But surely you all are facing the same problem I am facing right now which actually started yesterday. The two problems are 1) Cannot log into MSN Messenger and 2) The Internet line has slowed down, having difficulties browsing on the net. The reason for this is because of the earthquake which just hit Taiwan yesterday if I'm not mistaken...or was it two days ago? So now the line has been messed up but today it's not so bad as yesterday; cannot go online at all! Anyway, I just hope Streamyx will heal soon...

Spoon-feeding???

Here's a video of my mom spoon-feeding our dogs & some of the boarders using a spoon. So spoilt they are! Especially my Faith. Maybe need to use the 'Starving Method' one day...

Horrific News!!!

Yesterday afternoon around 6pm, as my brother was cycling home after his hair cut he noticed a dog trotting by with something on its head. At first he thought it was just some scar it got after a fight with another dog but then, when he took a closer look, part of the dog's head was sliced off with blood streaming down its face!!!

On that day, the grass cutters were here in our area cutting the grass. My mom told me, as she was bringing the dogs for a walk, she made all the dogs sit & wait in one corner for the grass cutters to walk off first. But then the grass cutters purposely came close with the thing spinning pointing at the dogs. They were like threatening them without saying a word. Their faces were covered with hats and scarfs so my mom can't identify them if they did hurt our dogs or her.

Definitely that dog my brother witnessed with part of his head sliced off perfectly were done by one of the grass cutters & their Indonesians. Why did they do that for? Just for their pleasure is it...? We tried looking for the dog last night but failed to find it. My mom's gona try and report this cruelty case soon and tell them to send back ALL the Indonesian workers whether they did it or not OR, unless the one who did it admits he did it. Fair enough???

Welcome & Hello Chloë!

Just adorable...Can't help looking at that face!

Announcement everyone! A new family member has joined us! We've just adopted another beautiful 10 months old Golden Retriever! She's got a big build, kind & gentle, good natured, cream in color, has very thick but soft fur, kinda like almost look like a bear, she has Richard Gere's eyes & is show potential.

At first I named her Anna Clare, then it became Clare, but my father said that Clare's a bit old fashion so he suggested Anna-Lea, then my mother suggested Leah, but I didn't like any of them except Anna Clare but then surprisingly, my brother who knows nothing about girls' names came out with a very sweet, kinda like a princess's name; Cloe. We all loved it until my mom came out with another name, Zoe, which sounded like a old woman's name...But we stuck to Cloe after that. We did a little research on the net to find out what this name, Cloe means. It actually means like a 'blooming flower' in Greek & indeed Cloe is! But then I changed the spelling from Cloe to Chloë with two dots above the letter 'e'. It makes it extra special...

Anyway, the reason why her previous owners gave her up was because they have two very young children & unfortunately, Chloë has knocked one of them down accidentally & caused a very big cut on the child's arm. Well, can't blame her right, what does she know? She's just a friendly dog & that's her way of greeting people...So on that day forward, she was left outside everyday with little human & dog interaction in a huge garden. She also stank & was a little bit filthy when we got her coz she always got wet from the rain & her undercoat never got dried properly. We gave her owners our telephone numbers & they kept on calling & calling us to take her like right now, "ASAP!!!" or straight she goes to SPCA. So we were like, what a waste for such a beautiful Golden to be chucked there...So, we adopted her on that very day.

It was love at first sight! She's just a Bonnie little Chloë...But ofcourse, nothing is stopping me from loving my two other dogs especially my precious Amber-Mae. Now that we have three dogs, there's more work to be done. Thinking of entering her for the Conformation Show in the Bitch Puppy category this coming March. But no guarantee that she can become a Champion that's for sure.

Just one big doggie-happy family...

We've Recieved Your X'mas Cards!

Loving them all...!

These are the cards we got so far...Just received two this morning. One from Baby & Boy and the other's from Thor the Dobermann's owner who is currently now in Sweden. That stoopid postman went and folded Baby & Boy's card, trying to put it on our gate coz too lazy to put the cards in the post box which was just three feet away. Now it's bent!

Christmas Tag???

Hey guys, check out this new game! It's called Christmas Tag. Don't know who invented this game but I'm sure it's pretty fun & easy...Oh and thanks FleasGang, Snow & Jessy and Prince for tagging me!

Now here are the rules for this game: The player with this game starts with "3 wishes he/she would love to get for Christmas" and also has a list of "3 wishes he/she definitely does not want for Christmas". Then he/she tags 5 friends and list their names. The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rules clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And the ones who tag need to leave a comment that says, "You've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog. Easy right?

Okay, here are Amber's & Faith's Wishes...

"3 wishes that Amber would love to get for Christmas"
1. Another red colored bouncy rubbery ball...That's you must get!
2. One huge, fat, juicy Turkey stuffed with mashed potatoes. All for myself!
3. I wish that all my wishes come true.

"3 wishes that Amber would definitely not want for Christmas"
1. Oh for Christ sake, please end Obedience training...Thank you!
2. A big no, no to vets! And please, don't board me with anybody else, it breaks my heart...
3. A little kitty cat for me to bully & play with.

"3 wishes that Faith would love to get for Christmas"
1. A huge king size bed all to myself!
2. Loads & loads of teddy bears for me to rip up and dig out all the stuffings!
3. A room full of flies for me to catch & eat. Quite tasty you know, maybe you should try one yourself next time...

"3 wishes that Faith would definitely not want for Christmas"
1. I'm not the type who's into OB and Agility. Would be more appreciative if I don't continue anymore for the rest of my life!
2. Oh please stop these dogs from trespassing into our property! No more boarding! No more boarding!
3. Don't want anymore bathing & teeth brushing, please...

Now these are the fellas whom I gona tag- Sasha, Cleopatra, Molly, Sugar & Summer.

Orientation & Graduation Day

Amber holding her cert...And Faith received nothing.
Oh look at her sad face.

Today is the day where Amber will receive her 3rd certificate & no medal again, how boring...I prefer medals & trophies than anything else honestly. I prepared a big rice pot of 'chao fan' (meaning fried rice in chinese) for everyone to eat & not to praise myself, but quite a number of people said that my chao fan was very nice. Hahaha, I & another friend of mine who also cooked fried rice challenged & most people went for mine. Wakakaka!!! I'm just glad that people ate my chao fan...

We even came prepared with our own plates, spoons, forks, paper cups & a bottle of coke. Anyway there wasn't much time for us to eat because the Graduation had started before anyone could even grab a plate. Finally Amber & I received the certificate and boy, wasn't I happy! So Amber's now officially an Intermediate!

It was great meeting new owners & dogs there. We really enjoyed ourselves! After the day finished, our dogs were let free to run around in the ring & not to mention, I'm now an assistant trainer for the Basic class. Isn't that great?!

X'mas Cards Ready To Be Sent!

This is what your card will look like...

I know some of you can't wait any longer for the cards to be sent so gona send out either tomorrow or the day after. So, be patient ya'll...

Dog's Christmas Carol

This song is sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland"

Dog tags ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistenin',
It's yellow NOT white - I've been there tonight,
Marking up my Winter Wonderland

Smell that tree? That's my fragrance,
It's a sign for wandering vagrants;
Avoid where I pee, It's my pro-per-ty!
Marked up as my Winter Wonderland

In the meadow, dad will build a snowman,
Following the classical design,
Then I'll lift my leg and I let go Man,
So all the world will know, that it's mine, mine, mine!

Straight from me to the fencepost, flows my natural incense boast;
Stay off my TURF, this small piece of earth,
I marked it as my Winter Wonderland

Lyrics by Melissa & her Mom

What is it???

It's a head turner...It will startle you...It will make you look twice...It will pop your eyes out & It will awe you...!

What is it...?! Is it a bird...? Is it a plane...? Is it Superman..? NO!!!

It's just their portraits. No need to get too excited...

Ahhh...Finally got to put them safely onto the wall above the piano & Amber's trophies. They are important too you know Boo? Now we three have our cutesy portraits on the wall!

I just love this angle...

Jingle Balls Everyone!

Yes...Christmas is coming up & I totally can't wait for the day to come! Our house is decorated with colourful shiny balls hanging down from a line of Christmas garlands under the awning, our bar/drinking wine section is also decorated with some blue balls and bells & even our front door is decorated!

Pretty isn't it? Did it all myself...

The bar section decorated with shiny bells
& blue balls with ribbons...

Shoe on gate...

Today we brought our two dogs to Ikano to hang out & mingle around with new people and other dogs there. And we also went shopping & bought cute Christmas stuff for them which includes a new premium dog food, Nutri Edge! Suppose to be "very good"...

X'mas toys just for our dogs!

Our Christmas Girls! Sorry everyone,
not enuf cards left but will see if there's extras...

Finally modified their scarfs & Faith didn't mind so much about that thingy on her head today...Hehehe, actually I forced them to get up from their nap to take some shots of them in their costumes. Poor things...Oh well, that's what happens when they gota show some Christmas spirit when I say so! Wahahahahaha!!!

You can do it!

My mom bought a new cage few days ago for my Amber to sleep in because she loves to lie down on cold floors & she tends to get sick from it. She always seem to be so hot all the time...This cage is the only thing to force her to sleep on the bed! Anyway, after bathing our dogs today I decided to put Amber in the cage to rest before Agility. But I thought I'll let her have a little fun 1st before resting which is for her to try & get her ball into the cage too!
