Me In The Magazine & The Newspapers!

Remember last year we participated in the MKA Obedience Trials? Well yeah, guess what? I'm in the Berita Anjing 2007 (translated: Canine News 2007) Magazine & so are my sistas! Check it out...

Can you spot us?

That's me during the Down-Stay exercise... I do this exercise well becoz I can fall a sleep while waiting for the exercise to be finished.

Faith & Chloe preparing for the Sit-Stay exercise...

The Pre-Novice winners! In case you guys don't know, 1st place goes to my friend, Venus, then 2nd me, 3rd goes to that other Golden beside me & 4th, is Faith. Chloe passed & got 10th place.

Here's a group picture of all of us Pre-Novice participants! Where are we in the picture?

Here are the Judge's critiques about us competitors that day...

This is mine during the Pre-Novice exercise. Mommy didn't realize that I was happy working with her coz I'm usually not especially when it comes to OB, kekeke!

This is Faith's. She performed well that day but she did started to become blurrrr after a while...

And this is Chloe's. Her recall is always very nice & brisk!

Okay, now time to see me in the newspapers! Alright guys, no need to get too excited. Nothing much, just me & my mommy participating in games... Thanks to Pacco's owner for the courtesy of these pictures. Mommy didn't buy the Star Newspapers, lazy her!

Here it is! For a clearer version, please click this link.

There's me & mommy struggling to run as fast as possible on the slippery muddy ground... I would have won this Triathlon game if I didn't run away to the lake when I was supposed to retrieve mah ball... Shoot!

Me during the Fastest Ball Retrieve game. There's me in the corner of the picture, having a little chat with Pacco...

Alrighty, that's all folks! Too bad that Chloe was not interviewed when she won the Pageant like me last year. Oh well...

Do You Smell What The Chef Is Cooking?

I was "the" Chef at home yesterday. For din dins, I roasted a Miniature Turkey. I did all the work including, slaughtering the poor bugger, nah I'm not that good at it! I could never hurt another animal, not even a fly. But I love eating them! Harharhar!!! Hey, I'm an animal, whadaya expect? Then I also marinated the bugger & then put it in the oven, all by myself! Want proof that I cooked it? Well, here's the proof!

Buon giorno! Il mio nome è Amber de Solid Chef. Benvenuto!

Damn my Italian is goooood! Anyway, wanna see what I cooketed?

Guess what's it called? OMdoG, you're sooo right! It's called Miniature Turkey! How come you know? Oh, I must have mentioned it earlier on... Ooopsy!

Come closer. Come come closer... Can you smell it through the screen? Oh, I bet you can... 1-2-3, start droooooling!

Okay, now that you know what it is, I better get off this kitchen counter now becoz standing up like this is just giving me a serious back ache! And this spoon in my mouth tastes weird...

The moment I got off the counter, Chloe came sailing from no where & jumped on the counter too to see what's cooking.

Chloe trying to figure out how to use the tong so that she could grab the Miniature Turkey & run away. Silly girl! Why didn't she just use her mouth to do the job? Gee...

After all the work that I've done to cook the Turkey, I only got a few pieces of it. What is this man? Sigh... Hoomans never appreciate us dogs. Chloe & I also have got to eat the same kibbles that Lorenza's eating & that is, Royal Canin Obesity coz according to my mommy, we're fat! You serious?

But then I tasted the meat & it was magnifico! It was really squisito! Well, at least all my hard work payed off. My hoomans enjoyed eating the whole Turkey all by themselves! They said it's the best they've ever tasted soooo far! See, a dancing dog can cook too... *wink* Ciao!

Hooman Agility Course!

Before the doggie event, we went to the park everyday for one whole week to practice our dance routines & also to play around. In the evenings, we would go to play in this big big big hooman Agility course which is somewhere further away in the park. We had alot of FUN as you can see in the pictures below!

WHOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Gosh, I looked like the Grinch!

Gosh, Chloe was sooo scared to cross the bridge becoz there were holes on it & she could see the bottom. Haha! It was sooo funny... Taking it slow & steady.

See, it's not that hard to walk across it... Just don't look down.

Faith really enjoyed running up & down the slides! Yes, she can run UP & DOWN the slides... Not bad not bad!

My hooman M had to help hopeless Chloe down the stairs becoz she couldn't do it herself, kakakaka!

Meanwhile... Me digging mah ball in the sand. I don't like picking up mah ball when it's coated with sand becoz the sand tastes funny & it makes my mouth look like this.

Blek!!! My mouth is full of sand! Oh no, I can't talk!

Phew, we're pooped! Now let's go home & eat din dins!

Chloe got disqualified from the Novice Jumpers becoz she did not manage to complete some of the obstacles & also, took too long to cross the two bridges. Hahaha! My hooman M touched her too when she was not supposed to. That's a fault! But lucky me & Faith were qualified for the next round! Whooopeee!!! Sooooooooooo, when's the next round???

Here we come!!!

The next day, we went to the park again & we had a great time. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to play agility becoz it was still bright & people can see. Woowoowoo... But we still had fun anyway & guess what we saw for the very 1st time? A SQUIRREL! Oh yeah & we three chased after the poor fella till it was squealing away but after that, it got away & slipped behind us quietly. Boohoo! We totally freaked the beejeesus out of that fella! Harharhar! Hope to see another one again...

Heeeeeeeeyah! Oh shoot! I missed it.

Yes, got it!

Chloe chasing after Faith. No one can outrun Faith becoz of her slim, lean body. She can go up to speeds like a rocket launcher & she can do sudden halts too. She looks good when she runs becoz she runs like a greyhound.

Chloe having a breather under a tree...

Here's Faith standing like a show dog. People always say that she has a very nice body but you should check out her muscles. Woooh! She's got one fine muscle butt!

Okay, that's about it for today guys. Hope you guys have a great week! Just to let you all know, I'm all well again. It was just the stress that made me have diarrhea & that made me vomit. Too-da-loo!

Chloe is Miss K9 Malaysia Champion 2008!

Big big trophies, kibbles & hampers! All Chloe's! I only won a bag of kibbles & biscuits...Faith did nothing the whole day.

Yes, you heard me right. This year is all about my sista Chloe! Congratulations to her! This is the 2nd time we've been to Malaysian K9 Day & last year, I was crowned as 'Miss K9 Malaysia 2007'. I performed a short dance routine during the time when we had to show everyone how intelligent we are & I won the 'Most Intelligent Category' & then won the 'Miss K9' title. I was also in the NST newspaper. Chloe entered last year too but she couldn't do any tricks except 'shake'. But today, she can dance like me but ofcourse, she is still a beginner.

Anyway, yesterday was a soooper doooper hawt day! We didn't really enjoy ourselves becoz the Pageant delayed for too long until everyone got bored & we doggies were panting heavily even though we sat under a tent with small fans blowing down on us.

The day started off with me doing the opening act. Yeah, this time I did a Mission Impossible theme & a ChaCha dance. I did not do the ChaCha dance well becoz I was already exhausted & could not hear the commands my mommy was giving me. I walked off the stage at the end of the dance without any bowing, harharhar! Anyway, here's the video of me & my mommy in action...

How did I do? Pretty well huh? I think my Mission Impossible performance was a big hit! Malaysia have not seen anything like this before & they especially liked it when I rolled over together with my mommy. Mommy was very proud that I executed all my moves well except for the 'elephant' trick becoz the tub color blended into the carpet hence I could not see where I was stepping on. But she was glad that I went into my magic box & sat nicely in it even though it was all soggy & soft from the rain the day before. Heeheehee!

After the opening act, the games were on but the Pageant started an hour later. Gosh! Not much contestants this year & they all were not very competitive. Infact, Chloe was the best! In terms of her regal & expensive looking costume & her cutesy dance performance. We were hoping that there would be another doggy or two who are as good as her but all the other dogs performed the same tricks! Sigh...

Chloe showing off her fur & my hooman M giving a presentation about her... She did not win the 'Best Long Fur' award. A puppy Alaskan Malamute did. His fur is was gorgeous!

After that, she had to show off her costume. Sorry, my mommy did not take any pictures of her in her costume that time. So she made Chloe wear it again when we came home...

Isn't she gorgeous in her costume? It's a Princess dress...

Here's the top view of her dress. It's very looooong & it drags all the way... This is my hooman M's design. She asked a very good tailor who only makes doggy clothes to make it & she did a pawsome job!

Doesn't she look sooo princessy with her shiny bling blings & all? Well anyway, she won the 'Most Photogenic/Most Creatively Dressed Dog' award! She totally deserved it...

Later on, she & a few other dogs were short listed & had to perform some tricks or what ever that shows off their intelligence. Chloe ofcourse performed a short dance routine along with the Adam's Family song & she ofcourse, won the 'Most Intelligent/Best Performer Dog' award and she was crowed 'Miss K9 Malaysia 2008'!!!

Here are all the winners including Chloe, the Champion!

We're so so so proud of her. Now we two are famous! Harharharhar! Faith didn't do anything the whole day but I did join a few games but only won one, the 'Longest Sit Stay' & got 3rd or maybe 2nd placing. Can't remember... But yesterday, it was really torture! I pity all the dogs especially the little puppies. Hopefully, the next event will be done in the evening. People & dogs will enjoy it more. We dogs are very active at night not in the day!

Ringworms dided but I'm still scarred...

The ringworms are totally dead for sure! But I am a little scarred especially the lump on my mouth... I hope it will totally be cured before Sunday because that's the event day.

It was much better this morning but the wound kinda like opened up a bit again... Must be the licking. Shhhh!

The one under mah ear is also healing...

Much much betterer right? That little black dot is actually mah mole, heehee!

Today, mah hooman M went to the post office to pick up a parcel for me. But the meanie old lady working there refused to give it to her becoz my name was written on it. The meanie old lady wanted proof that she was mah owner so my hooman M had to drive everywhere to find a photostat shop so that she could photostat her Identity Card. She even threatened my hooman M that she will send it back to the sender. My hooman M was real pissed with that meanie old drag queen lady becoz she was very rude but finally she gave the parcel to her... If I was there, I would bite her big bum bum till it bursts! Sheesh, sooo much fuss just becoz it's for a dog...

Anyway, here it is. I didn't know who it was from so I couldn't wait to shred it open! Chloe helped me too...

I love chewing on boxes becoz I think they taste really good plus, they smell really sweet. Have you realized that? They smell really sweet like milky sweet!

Look what I pulled out from the box! OMdoG!!! A whole packet of tennis balls all to myself! My dream balls!

These are all the goodies in the box!

Toys, treats & a...

...biiiiig Christmas card! Oooh, all of these are from handsome King King!

Ooo, a bunny-tug toy! Gee, the box actually could stand Chloe's weight! This is one quality box... THANK YOU King King for this great late Christmas pressie!

Okay next! Tosca came up with this Show Your Tongue game few days ago so here's me showing you mine...

I think it's ooogly! I mean, look at that black thingy on the middle of mah tongue... But mommy said it's good luck according to the Chinese belief. I think it is true! I mean, look at all the competitions & trophies I've been winning these past two years! I'm famous too! & I'm only two plus! Wheeeeeee!

I've been tagged by Maggie & Mitch to tell you 7 weird things about myself. Well, here goes...

1) I'm fixated with tennis balls! No I mean, literally! I cannot eat, sleep, walk or even go toilet without one being near me or in my mouth... I pee pee & poop with the ball in mah mouth. It has got to be there or else I will die! It's like my security blanket...

2) I can't really stand males. Yeah really, I'm not joking. Especially those who are mah same kind of breed...

3) I don't like to be humped by anydoggie else but I like to hump others. Does it sound fair? I think it does!

4) I can hold two tennis balls in mah mouth at the same time! Sounds weird? Maybe not...

5) I smile all the time! There's not one minute a day that I don't smile. Only when I'm not feeling well or depressed... Mommy says I have a winning smile. She said I can win the award for the Best Smile On Earth! Really?

6) I like cats. May not sound weird to some of you but to most of you, it does becoz we doggies are not supposed to like cats right? Well for me, I like them alot. No matter how stoopid or smelly they are.

7) I sleep most of the time everyday. Almost 80% of my time, I sleep. No wonder I'm putting on weight all the time...

Okay, that's about it guys! Today we went to the park to practice & this whole week till Saturday, we'll be there to practice till pawfect! We had fun over there today coz we got to play in a hooman Agility course. You know which one I'm talking about right?
