Harry - the guru

Oh how he has grown!! He's gone beyond all expectations and is now teaching the others how to behave... which is a laugh cuz he was one of the delinquents not that long ago! Well done Harry!

With all that maturity, thankfully, he still knows how to have a good time and plays well with everyone :)

A week of Outings

We do head out! Here are some shots from the past week:

Ume with her grey friend - needless to say everyone ended up all muddy... but very happy!

Trying to pose for a picture is very hard! Even when there is a helping hand - there's just too much going on :)

Ah - what a little food bribe can do.

Swimming day at the beach. The sun was super great that day - "splish splash, here we go!"

Things to do while on the beach: take other dog's toy and refuse to give it back (as seen here with Phoebe)...

... or roll in the good times while hitting the sand :D

Ume

Puppies! We love puppies! 

A big warm hello and lots of kisses for this newbie.

When she first arrived, we weren't quite sure if she was going to break out of her shell and start playing. Well, that lasted all of about 10 minutes... then she was off!

As you can see from these pictures she's a playful one! She teases and makes Hamilton chase her round and round the place.

"We're happy and exhausted!" (at least i hope so!)

I got it, I got it! Come take it from me if you can! (video)

Tumbling Time! (video)

Hamilton

Ah what a big big boy... with equally big big eyes :) Welcome back Hammie! Still the happy wiggly Cavalier that we all know and love. We did have some teething issues - literally. But other than that, he's a joy to have. Sometimes just a little too much. Can we bottle it and put it out for retail? :P

"I have stars in my eyes!"

"Mememememe... TAKE me!"

Play time is waaaay more fun with someone else to tumble with! Here's Hammie with Ume having a fun time. (video)

Mr Hero

Ah this is Xiong Xiong - It's been sometime since we last saw him. Still as sweet as ever, and he didn't break out into song time time round! What a good beagle boy :)

Sora

I hope you have alot of white furniture :) This blue-eyed beauty will steal your heart away with her soft mannerisms. She's incredibly friendly and non too bothered with the resident dog lurking around.

Thanks to her owner for these pictures - i could never get a good shot that didn't involve the shadows under the bed!

Solomon

This breed is always so gorgeous! Solomon (what a grand name) is a loopy, bouncy, playful 2 year old boy.  He will try to initiate play with Phoebe... but it doesn't always gets reciprocated (as you will see in the video!) But great on him for trying!

This is his "can you play with me?" face :)

In Angel & Shadow's House

We were more than happy to be at the house of these 2 softies :) But when they play... man, watch our for your toes, legs... and most body parts!

How can you ignore this face?! 

Angel: Please play with meeee... Pretty pleeease?

Shadow: I'll just stay out of the way while the ladies tumble around (that would be Angel and Phoebe)... but don't forget about me!

Dinner Time!!

It starts with the rumble of the tummy... a clink of the food bowls and a clang of the spoon... "Is it that time?? Now?? YIPPEE!!" They follow you around and become your shadows. The anticipation is overwhelming and the smiles are all around :D

This is when the chaos starts... and it's only with 4 dogs :) Oh and yes that's the 2 cats wandering around also. When the food is being prepared, then tension mounts and it takes everything for them to not pin me down with their paws!

And when their bowls are served and they all chow down noses first... check out who gets to lick the spoon :P

Bon Appetit! (Burp)

Happy Moo-Year!

This little cutie is Tobi, a wee 4 month old puppy. But what big lungs he has! Kind of like a bird - but we totally understand that it's quite scary to be away from your parents for the first time. 

OOOooooooo... Scooby is Mr Howler :P He just wants his mummy and doesn't really know any better. We think that he will still need some reassurance next time :P 

The sweetest boy EVER! Toby is a Labradoodle and is a very young playful 1 year old bouncy dog :) We tell people that this is the dog that new President Obama wants in The White House. It's a great choice :D

Oh Ziggy... after so many times here, what can i say? Still the motivated foodie, always scheming and plotting on how to get the next handout... By any means necessary! Never mind that he gets told off and gets thrown into "jail", to him, it's all well worth every morsel.

Finally got a great picture of Sisi - look she's smiling! :D She gets better and better in behaviour every time.

What a change in Scout! Last time we saw this Schnoodle, she took to talking (aka screaming) quite a bit. But now... wow, super well behaved! Kudos to mummy for doing a great job!

We also had Pepo, Polly, Pepper, Cookie and Summer (STILL haven't managed to get a picture of her!)

Wishing all doggies and their mummys and daddies a Bull-run in 2009!
