All the Little Ones

This is Tobi and he's grown into a big boy! :) But he's a good boy. He will still give a squeak when he's super happy and excited! And he learnt to be a big brother to...

... Wei Wei! He's a splitting image of Tobi when Tobi was younger. And they share the same personality and playfulness too! Happy and bouncy all the time. Tobi had his hands full :P

And this is tiny Rosebud. What a sweet name! And yes she is very very very tiny. She can squeeze through the baby gate type of tiny. Without any effort at all! I would describe Rosebud like a darting fish... just when you think you get close enough to get to her, ZIP! And she's out of reach.

So we had a group of small ones this time - they are a fun bunch to watch. Just be careful not to trip or squash anyone!

Rosebud: "We're the same size!"

Wei Wei: "No, you're smaller."

Rosebud: "Not if i do this! Hee..."

Wei Wei: "???"

Days are never Boring...

When you have Ume around! Or any youngster for that matter!

How do you choose? Toy, playmate, toy...? Why can't we do it all at once! At least that's what Ume tries to do :D

And if you can't get entertainment, find some! Ume is one brave puppy for taking on Phoebe :P

At the Dog Park with Solomon & Ume

It was a bright HOT (34c!!!) morning at the dog park. 

Here's (silly) Solomon:

Checking out the dog place.

"A" for effort Solomon! Here he is trying to get someone to play with him.

Why doesn't anyone want to play with me??

I'll just lay here and give you puzzled looks :)

But there's always the big job of sniffing around...

And Ume does it very well!

Don't ask me how or why she got in there!

Or there's also lots of fun in rolling in dirt

And when it's all over - take a break in the shade!

JJ

Another delightful senior! JJ is one of the sweetest boys that we have ever had here ;) Check out the size of those ears - HUGE!

He's ever curious and follows you around just to see what you are up to. But he's also an independent spirit and minds his own business!

Angel

Here's Angel (again!). These pictures REALLY don't do her justice. She's wary of that little grey box that I'm holding - the camera. Add that to her list with rain/thunderstorms and the vacuum cleaner. Other than that, she's a fireball! :)

Here she is at the dog park having a blast with Phoebe - there was alot of running, chasing, barking... all in good fun!

Mei Mei

Meet Mei Mei... she's 11 years old and very much a spirited gal! She's very animated and makes us all laugh with her antics.

"Whacha' looking at?"

She has this things that she does when you point your finger and talk to her... she bares her teeth and does a playful snapping motion. It's really funny!

Do come back soon!

Tobi

Finally we get proper shots of Mr-Fluffball, Tobi! Last time he was here, he was but a wee lil' puppy - how fast they grow! (see here)

"I've got something to say and i know you'll hear it!"

Tobi takes the prize for ear-shattering pitches. It really makes your eardrums rattle!!!

But all can be forgiven for THAT super cuddly face :P We say that cuteness can get you anywhere!

"Shh... this is my serious face."

"Ok, I'm bored now... are you done taking pictures??"

Saffie

This madam we call Miss Independent... while the rest were having their picture taken, Saffie sat right behind me, out of shot. That's her for you! She loves to play as always... but will be upset if the other dog doesn't play with her. And her philosophy is "What's yours is mine... What's mine, you don't take it!" :D

Good Friday Blessings

The gang's all here! :) This is a group who have been here before, so they all get along well.

That's Tobi (mini-poodle) near the gate... more pictures on this cutie!

And then moving down the corridor, we have Chucky, Pepo and Sisi.

Pepo: "Why does Chucky always get to be the cute one?"

Happy 9th Birthday Lady!

Yup the grand ole auntie is 9 years old this year - and her birthday falls in April. This year we made it on the 1st - April Fools!

We had to make her wait for her birthday treats - cheese muffins and chew sticks as candles! Look at that pathetic face!

Now you know why they have to wait... it's gone in no time at all!

This is big (size) sister having her share too!

And the candles are edible too - cool!

Happy Birthday Lady! 

Many more years of greedy eating, loving cuddles, tummy rubs and whining like a bird! :D
