Hey guys! I've been very busy for the past few days & will be busy for this whole week because because because... next Sunday, there'll be another doggie event(I know...phew! No break) & I'm picked to do a few demos even my sista Chloe.
We both will be dancing. It will be Chloe's 1st time but this will be my 4th or 5th time now. Chloe will be doing the easy basic moves coz she's a beginner & I'll be doing the advanced stuff. We've been practicing everyday & here are some pictures of us doing our stuff yesterday afternoon...
Me circling backwards... Mommy says I don't do this smoothly coz I always tend to slam into my her legs all the time & then she'll loose her footing & fall like a clumsy blob, heeheehee!
Still circling backwards around her. Nice butt shots eh! Who's got a nicer bottom?
Me doing the 'Flip'. People really love it when they see me do this trick. I have no idea why...
Bowing together... This will be the finish I think.
Playing tug-of-war in between our practice...
Then me standing up. Mommy always scream when I grip her juicy belly too hard, hahaha!
Me doing a few more 'Flips'. I think mommy needs to loose that "spare tire" around her waist so that she'll look just as slim as me!
Me bowing between my mommy's legs... I look sooo photogenic don't I?
Then it was Chloe's turn. Okay, the new tricks that she has just learned? She can circle back(she does it neater than me. She always does it slow & steady), back up & reverse. Considered not bad already. Oh, she's also working on her 'Flip' too...
She was really excited about practicing with my mommy.
She doing horse dressage. I think they both need to loose weight! Kekekeke...
Weaving through legs...
And a big finish! I wonder how long she can stay like that?
Now today, we went for training. I just stopped OB classes & now doing agility training coz I enjoy this sport much better. It was my 2nd Novice class today & I'm doing better each week! My trainer said, I'm really fast at weaving. Heeeheee!
I'll be doing Agility & Flyball demo too. And then after the demos, I'll have to go around holding a basket collecting donations for SPCA & PAWS. How so not cool is that? I hate holding baskets but nevermind. I'll do it anyway...
Weeeeeeee! Here I come! Move out of the way woman!
And the best part! Stepping on the paddle & here comes the ball!
Me on the dog walk. Ooooh, I was sooo half dead after a few rounds...
Me weaving...
Over the low hurdle. A bit too low don't for my height don't ya think? You agility maniacs will understand what I'm saying.
Pausing on the pause table...
And then, over the A Frame.
How did I do? Made a few mistakes here & there but overall I was good right? Groovy & Pacco, I need some feedback from you two. I wish I can be as good as they both, soon. There are too much sharp turns for me but guess what Sparky? I'm not scared of the see-saw anymore! Yippeee!
Guys, have you heard about Rookie the Golden & his owner Carolyn Scott before? Actually, my mommy & I will be doing that Grease routine during the event coz we both just simply love love love them both & that routine. They both were famous for that routine but Rookie, has already retired & I think we doing this dance, will be a good tribute for them both. What do you think? They were actually the ones who inspired us to start dancing. They both are just sensational!
Well, I just hope we both will be able to do good performnace on that day. Wish us luck guys!
Hey friends! Sorry for taking too long to post about my trip. My mommy has contracted conjunctivitis in both her eyes so she didn't have any mood to help me blog. Her eyes are sooo disgustingly red & she is feeling very uncomfortable. She has gone to the clinic already & her eyes are not hurting as much as yesterday but they are still red & swollen. Hope she will get better soon...
Here is us getting ready to hit the road...
Okay, now about my fun fun fun trip! Last Saturday, we went to A'Famosa for a howliday & a doggie event. My hooman booked a condotel room there(the same room we stayed in last year) I liked the room alot! It was small but very cozy. Why? Becoz there were air-conditioners! Woohoo! My dream come true.
Here's me making myself at home...
Here's us making ourselves comfortable on the cozy bed... (Psss... actually we doggies are not allowed on the bed.)
Is this what it looks like when we're on the 21st floor? Woh! I've never seen in this scawie perspective before...
We got to play in the corridor coz it was empty. It was fun chasing each other up & down!
After checking in & settling down, we decided to try out some of the activities in A'Famosa itself. There were many but my hoomans decided to go for a pony ride before the event started at 4pm.
Here's my mommy riding on a bootiful pony. Her name is Misty...
Chloe was barking at Misty but Faith & I wanted to ride on her too! We barked & whined non-stop but my mommy did not allow... Awww, not fair!
After horse riding, we headed back to our room to get ready for the doggie event. Weeeeee! The event was actually just a few metres away room our condotel. So we actually could have just walked there but we decided to drive there.
The event actually started at 5pm. The first game was called 'Simon Says'. I find this game the 2nd funnest besides the 'Best Tricks' game becoz this is a game where hoomans make the silly mistakes. Not us doggies! We doggies just do what the hooman says but if they make us & themselves do dumb mistakes, then we are loosers! I joined this game with my mommy & we were top 4 or 5 but then my mommy made me stand when she was not supposed to so, we got kicked out!
The second game was called 'Best Dressed Dog'. My hooman asked a tailor to costume make my costume. It was a graduation costume. Quite a number of doggies joined & all their costumes were nice too!
Here's my hooman trying to dress me up. We only had one minute to dress up... Phew!
Here's me posing & holding my scroll...
Gosh, I look sooo geeky... While trotting around to show off my costume, my shoes, my sleeve, my spectacles & my pants were falling off. Oh, how embarrassing...
Me holding my scroll again. Heeheehee... I got Ph.D. in 'Bark'ology! I'm soooo smart.
After showing off my costume & barking on command, guess who won?
ME AGAIN!!! Yaaaaay! My friend Scruffy(the one in the Red Indian costume) got 2nd placing.
See how happee I am?
The next game was the 'Fastest Recall'. Faith & my hooman M joined. Faith was actually was the fastest but then ran off to play with her Rhodesian friend. So, she was not qualified for the semi final round... My hooman M was not happee at all! She also joined the 'Waggiest Tail' game but stopped wagging after a while so, no trophies for Faith, again!
Here's everyone & their doggies getting ready...
The 5th game was the 'Longest Sit Stay' game. Mommy & I joined this. We doggies are required to sit & stay for as looooong as possible without breaking.
Here we all in our positions... Mommy gave me one nice tug before asking me to stay.
Slowly, all the hoomans had to increase their distance away from us. Each time they increase, one after one dog breaks.
After that, there were only me & my friend Scruffy left. My mommy then asked to go out of sight. A man came up to me teasing me with treats. I ate some in his hand but still maintained my position, so did Scruffy. He called me to come towards him but I refused becoz when I'm asked to stay especially when my mommy asks me to, then I do it to please her.
After a minute or so, Scruffy broke & I won! Yippee-doo-dah! This was my 1st time that I actually stayed while out of sight.
The next game was called 'Puppython' where handlers & their dogs were to run one round around the condo & who reaches the finish line, wins. My mommy made me join this game so my handler this time is my hooman B. The man always do the running right?
Can you see me & my hooman B?
When somebody blew the whistle, we all ran as fast as we could! We were actually ahead of everyone else but then... my hooman B fell & injured himself really badly. He fell on the rough road. I actually ran off but then I turned around & realized, that my hooman B was no longer running with me. So I ran back to tell him to get up, get up! But then he couldn't. He was bleeding all over so we didn't continue the race.
The last game ofcourse was the 'Best Trick' game. My favooooooooorite!
Hear all the applause? Oh, I just luuurve applause from the crowd. They loved me! They really did... Mommy just taught me to jump over the hoop the day before. I'm actually very terrified of it but after a few rounds of practice, I'm notso scared of it now. And who won? ME won! Chloe also joined & got 2nd placing. Lucky her!
After the event was over at about 7pm, we all got to run wild in the field & play with our friends. Then when we headed back to our room, we were like...
...this! Soooo pooped out & hungry.
So we got some wet food to eat! Okay, doesn't look very tempting right but it was delicious!
Okay okay, I know you all can't wait to see the trophies right? But wait wait, patience. Our howliday hasn't ended yet ya know? We actually extended one more day to have a longer howliday coz since my hooman drove all the way to A'Famosa, mise as well right?
So the next day, my hooman M & B brought us for our toilet walk.
We had a looooooong walk!
Then later, we had to stay in the room by ourselves coz... My hoomans got to have fun! They went for go-kart race. My hooman M said that my hooman B was a maniac driver! Hehehe, I'm sure he was.
For din dins, we had KFC! Yum yum! I had one whole chicken breast for myself... *lick lips*
Oooooo... Come to me chicken meat!
The next day on Monday, it was time for us to go home. We had to check out at 12pm but we check out around 2pm. My mommy gave us a bath. But 1st, we got to play in the bathtub. It was sooo fun!
We had a bubble bath!
Mommy put those bubbles on my head... Not funny!
I was actually having alot of fun playing & eating those bubbles...
Ooooo... Bubbles bubbles bubbles!
Okay, I'm tired of playing with these bubbles...
This is me after my bath. My nose is sooo big!
Okay now, the time you guys have been waiting for... Here they are!
Our shiny trophies!!! Gorgeous me Champion 3 times & Chloe got one 1st runner up trophie...
We sure had a fabooooooolous time there! We will definitely miss A'Famosa but we'll be back next year, that's for sure!
Hope you others had a faboooooolous weekend too! Now time for me to catch up with all your bloggies. Till next time, see ya!
