Baxter & Mya

Such a handsome shot :D 

Baxter is getting some time off from his "cone" to prevent him from scratching himself. So he's very happy to stay still for pictures! He's one happy chap - he'll come up to you, sit very nicely, look at you, (and if you ignore him) raise one paw up and tap you for attention... I'm HERE!

But he's an old man too; so it wasn't long before he was all bored and tired of his photo session and laid in a heap. Still looking so cute :P

And this is the lovely Mya... she looks just like Niyma, don't you think? Just as active and fun-loving too. She likes as much attention as you can give her. Or she will jus thang out with Baxter!

The rising of Mya's ears... up up and POP! They are HUGE! :P

Cherry & Niyma

It's been toooo long since we last saw these 2 spaniels! Can you remember Cherry? Well, at first neither could we! She was very young when she first came. She's now 4 years old but still as sweet as ever and the independent girl that we know and love. Our resident dogs Lady and Phoebe still recognise them; how cool is that!

Cherry is one half of a duo. Here's her partner - Niyma. He was a wee puppy when we first saw him! He's grown up to be a well mannered boy. No longer the monkey-boy that he was when he was a baby. Kudos to their mummy!

He gets along with all the dogs - just a tad shy of the bigger ones (sorry Phoebe!) but with Cherry in the same room, he's more confident and secure. Always helps to have a sibling around!

Niyma - back in the Race Course location in 2008. Just 3 months old! :)

Here he is today - sitting tall on our sofa in Hillvew :D

Sleepy Time!

One of the best times of the day for me is naptime. You would think that all they want to do is play all day... but somehow, they know when it's time to decompress, lay back and relax. This is when i can attend to emails and update the blog (like this!)


Of course, nap times are also not the best time to take pictures, cuz they can stirr at the slightest sound! Unless they were pretending to sleep in the first place. Yes that means you Saffie!

Top to bottom: Cherry, Niyma, Molly and Saffie

Year of the Rat! (squeak squeak)

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!
We had a great time with our 4-legged guests over the holidays :D
Here they are:


Xabibi!! We LOVE Xabi :)
This picture of him is so funny and oh so cute. Yes i have food in my hand... and check out Miss Pathetic in the background (that's Lady!).


This is Lady "playing". She doesn't know how to play, so for Xabi to get this close to her with out her worrying and getting stressed is a very good sign!


This is Mika - an 8 month old Shih Tzu puppy.


Don't let that sad face fool you! He's a puppy after all :P After spending the first day and a half being shy and hiding under the dining table chair, he can be a crazy one.


He does speeding runs, sending the newspapers flying all over the place! And he plays with his chew stick like it was a prey, stalking and pouncing on it :)


And this is Mika's partner in mischief: Niyma. This is Cherry's new little bro at 3 months old only. Again, like Mika, this picture does not capture the little tyrant that he can be!


He may be small, but he's the king of the world! He will play with all sizes of dogs, even Phoebe, without any fear. Fear? Pfft. Little rascal.


Ahh Princess Goldie. Such a good girl this time. She was very gracious to allow the smaller ones to zip by her all day. But she still gets her one-to-one time. This is a fitting example, she plonked herself infront of the camera: "Take my picture!"


Cookie! Everyone thought that she would be alot to handle... goes to show how they always have surprises in store. In fact, she was easy to managed and well behaved.


All the dogs especially likes Cookie during mealtimes - she on a BARF diet. So everyone wants a piece too :S But she had a great playmate in the form of...


Scout! She's a Schnoodle and very playful. Quite an earful at times (take the vocals of a Schnauzer and a Poodle...whoa!), but well behaved otherwise.


This is the classic "I'm innocent" shot :P


And here with Scout is Ziggy. Ziggy is THE best reason to do spring cleaning. Why? He's a Food Monster! Gosh this English Cocker Spaniel will eat anything he can get his paws on.


Fallen victims: Peanut butter toast and a container (with kibbles - thankfully, no harm was caused to the kibbles, phew).


He has the sweetest look, but watch out when he goes into hiding! This dog likes his privacy when he needs it.


Everyone who came got an "Ang Bao" from all of us: Gong Xi Fa Cai! I figured that they won't care much for money - but jerky treats are always a hit!


Lady: I'm so glad they are all gone.
Silly girl!
