Lollie & Koa: All Grown Up!

Every one of these shots of Lollie and Koa are so precious to us... these will be one of the last few pictures of the original babies that we have grown to love so dearly! Soon they will be off to a cooler climate (their coats will be fabulous for sure!) and bid farewell to Singapore.


Lollie and Koa are quite the insane duo - they need only each other. But will gamely take on anything in their path. Big or small dogs - bring it on! :)

Koa will always be the more playful of the two... he's fast and crazy - pretty much all that you expect from a boy! We love how he greets us when we come in with all the shakes and wiggles that make us laugh :D

Lollie cannot be underestimated - she will be all sweet, loving and girly, but she has her moments too. Moments that remind us that she's a puppy and just as playful when it comes down to being with her brother!

Here are their "stalk and be stalked" with Sassy and Virdel (another 2 cute babies!) in the yard. See the videos here!

A drink to both of you - Cheers!

Brutus

This is what we like to call the typical Westie HELLO!!!

Yes, what you see is what you get with Brutus... he's happy to be involved with what everyone is doing all the time. Not a worry in the world :D

Even when he's chilled, he looks so happy doing it. Makes us smile and thank our lucky stars for doggies like Brutus!

Bichon

For the lack of creativity, Bichon is a Bichon Frise... not the owner's fault - he came with the name! But we always like to be proven wrong - he's not like any other ones that we know. He loves other dogs and people - uber friendly and he's great to have around.

We are so glad that he found a good home and given another chance. He's just too nice otherwise! It would be a perfect place if all the dogs are like Bichon :D

"Whatcha' got there?? Put it down and play with me!"

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

Sassy & Virdel

BABIES IN THE HOUSE! :D :D :D

Sorry couldn't help myself. Babies just grow too fast! The previous babies that were here were Lollie & Koa, they are all big kids now (sobs!). So it's always great to have new little ones around the house!

Meet Sassy! She's a teeny-tiny Yorkshire Terrier. I think she's as heavy as a peanut! She loves her big brother Virdel and will follow him around, even if he bowls over her all the time.

"Sniff sniff... do you have FOOD??!!"

Sassy has a BIG voice when it comes to food time... there is no mistaking it! Haha! :D

Like all babies and young pups, they are INCREDIBLY difficult to take good still shots of. And just when you think you got THE perfect shot >>> you get this: backs to the lens. Typical :P

This is Virdel - and to me, he looks just like Harry when he too first came to us :) They are similar if you can count crazy-playful-puppylike-nonstop zooming-go-go-go as being the same. Watch their video here. We love him! (He's a Griffon Brussels, by the way)

Oh that tounge - is what makes Virdel too cute for words. How can you not gush over this little boy?

See? Even when he's doing a poop, he looks like he's thinking very hard about it!

We love Babies :D

Pilchard

Pilchard looks like Baron with a longer coat! Then again, he also looks like Knuckles - but MUCH nicer (sorry Knuckles :P ) This boy is just 11 months old and it didn't take him long to "earn" his freedom (be friendly to all!). He was playing with the resident boys in no time :D

Isn't he a handsome cat? :)

Baron: "Mum! Just because we look similar... does that mean he MUST play with MY tail?!"

A Little Friend

Sometimes we get extra special guests :) Meet our Little Friend - her name is not here cuz I can't spell it! But we still love to have her over.

Here she is on her wheel - and she can run fast! If she spies you looking at her (like with a huge camera phone!) she'll stop and look at you: "what'cha looking at!"

And if you still "invade" her privacy - she'll come up to check out the intruder. Amazingly, she's good with the dogs that come and press their noses up the glass tank that she calls home. "Silly pup-arazzi..." she must be saying. I think if she had big celebrity sunglasses, she would put them on!

She does love her food - glad to see that she's not too concerned about what others think about her figure. "I'm a growing gal." Life of a little hamster is quite funny indeed!

Xiong Xiong

How Mr Hero has blossomed... he always looks like he's soooo sad. Then he'll break into a big grin, like he has something planned in that brain of his.

And his voice - oh yeah - he still has it! He'll be really good and we'll step out of the room for a while (like to go upstairs) then you'll hear it: "OOOOooooooo *pause for dramatic effect* OOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!"

Other than THAT, he's a funny fella to have around. Glad you're back Mr Hero!

Mei Mei

We haven't seen Mei Mei in (about) 2 years and we welcome her with open arms again! This was her back then.

Happy to report that Mei Mei is just the same now as she was back then - highly spirited and playful. Generally it's really nice to see the senior dogs in great shape and enjoying themselves. We love the oldies! :D

Scupi really liked Mei Mei and followed her around quite a bit. Mei Mei was accommodating as much as she could be! But Mei Mei liked Roxy and they played a "cat-and-mouse-game". Kind of just able to touch each other then bouncing/prancing/skipping away and asking to be chased. Too funny to watch cuz it's big/tall (Roxy) and small/short (Mei Mei). Haha!


Awww - hope that it won't be a long time till we catch up again!
