31 Dec 2007 New Year's eve

Can't believe it that today is the last day of 2007! Mummy baked salmon for us to eat. This is my special meal. Every year during Christmas' eve, New Year's eve and Chinese New Year, I get to eat baked salmon. During my birthday I usually get steak. Happy New Year 2008 to every doggy friend out there! Hope those unlucky homeless doggies get a warmth home. I am very lucky to be loved and pampered all year long.

Christmas at the Palawan Beach

Christmas morning we are all packed into the van and headed for Sentosa Palawan Beach! We have a seven-year old boy joining us. He was running around and screaming. I barked at him. At the beach I was hooked on a long leash, as I was not allowed to run freely at the beach anymore. I have a great Christmas!

No More Bloody Stool

Today my stools are no more bloody. They are still soft. Mummy has been feeding me yogurt to fight off the bad bacteria. Guess I won't be seeing a vet after all. I am recovering very well. I would like to wish all my doggie friends a Merry X'mas and Happy New Year 2008. This year has been very good to me. Next year I will be turning five years old in April. I am a grown up now. I stopped chewing my Mummy's stuffs now, no more tearing newspapers, making snow out of toilet rolls, digging potted plants, etc. Mummy has removed all barriers and now I am running free in the house when Mummy goes to work. I am a good girl nowadays!

Bloody Stools

Oh dear.. I have been having tummy upset. My stools are bloody and watery. Mummy is very worried. She has been encouraging me to drink more water in case of dehydration. My bloody stools episode lasted for 12 hours. This morning I feel fine. I am still very much myself, running around, barking and playing. Most importantly I am still as greedy as before. Mummy will observe me for 24 hours before bringing me to the vet tomorrow. What have I eaten? Was it the kangaroo backbones? Was it the bones cutting my intestines?

Raining season in Singapore

It has been raining cats and dogs these few weeks. So instead of walking in the parks, we have been visiting houses. Mummy brings us along whenever she visits friends and family. We stay inside the house to keep warm and away from the rain.

At sentosa, husky bitten a 3-year old girl

We finally get the news at sentosa. There was a husky that has bitten the ear of a three-year old girl. That's why now all dogs must be leashed at sentosa. We are seeing less and less dogs at sentosa now. The dog shower facility is still out of order. Where else in Singapore can I swim freely in the sea?

Big Red Ball and Bishan Dog Run

On Sunday, Mummy brought the big red ball to the bishan dog run for us to play. Cookie was so happy chasing after the ball all through the dog run! As for me, I was barking happily at Cookie. There was a chocolat lab dog playing with us. After a while, Cookie managed to tear the big red ball and it burst! That's the end of our fun.

Big Red Ball

We have so much fun with the Big Red Ball! Cookie is trying very hard to puncture it!

Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West

On Sunday we went to Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West. We seldom go there. After the morning walk, we went to the Macdonald and sat at the Cafe outside. It was very nice. Our fun was cut short when the staff told Mummy that dogs are not allowed! So we left.

We saw a lot of small, medium and large red balls outside the Macdonald. We went crazy. Cookie was chasing after the balls, and I was barking! That was most fun! I will show you some photos of Cookie playing with red balls in my next post.

Where are my friends?

On Sunday we went to Sentosa Tanjong Beach. But where are all my friends? The beach was deserted! There were a few dogs, but they were all leashed. After talking to a lady, it turned out that last week someone was fined S$300 for not leashing a dog! Oh no! So I was also leashed up. Sigh, Koufu food court is not dog friendly, now the beach is also no longer dog friendly. Also, one of the dog shower area was without any water! What is happening?

Sentosa Pahlawan Beach

Look! Beautiful sentosa Pahlawan Beach view I like to share with my doggies friends!

Pasir Ris Pet Movers

We went to a new place on Sunday! There were so many doggie smells, I went crazy! We went to the dog run and did agility. It has been so long since Cookie did the agility. But she did not forget her moves! I jumped into the pool and fetched ball. It was a great outing!

Buttercup is back from China!

I am so happy today! I have not been myself for the past few days when Buttercup was not around. I couldn't sleep at night, waiting for Buttercup to come home. I waited at the door, and waited in the bed. I wagged my tail less. But today Buttercup came home! She brought back beef jerky, Kahlua liquor, dried scallop, but not for me. I am jumping for joy! My life is back to normal again.

Sentosa Tanjong Beach dog shower

We went to Tanjong Beach on Sunday. This time the dog shower place was repaired. The drainage was alright. Unlike the last time when the shower place was flooded due to sand blocking the drainage system. Also the tap was repaired, no more dripping of water. But there was a tap that was spoiled. After it was tapped on, it showered without stopping. What a waste of water! Anyway, thank God we can shower at Tanjong Beach, because there was once "No Dog" signs were posted everywhere at the shower area.

Bottle Tree Park at Yishun

We went to a new place called bottle tree park at yishun/kathib on Sunday. It was very hot. The place was not very crowded. Many children were fishing in the ponds. There was not much walking path, so we ended up with nothing much to do there. We spent only a short while checking out the place.

Later we went to our old favourite place, the Bishan park II. We met over 20 plus dogs in the dog run! I get to run off-leash with Jaffe and Kylie in the dog run. As Cookie is a naughty doggie, she was leashed by Butter Cup in the dog run. We have a great time!

Bishan Park I

We went to Bishan Park I last saturday. The last time we went there was a year ago. This time, the coffee shop was no longer in operation. So sad. We got nothing to eat. It was drizzling in the morning, so we sat around the empty coffee shop. An hour passed by quickly and we set out home, wet, cold and hungry.

On Sunday, it was raining heavily in the morning. We only get a short walk along the covered walk-way around the neighbourhood.

Mummy spent the next three weekdays with us, walking us in the morning and evening everyday. I love it when Mummy is on leave!

Crow that stole sausage

We all walked to Chomp Chomp on Sunday morning. We ate breakfast alfresco style at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. A big black crow suddenly flew down and grabbed a sausage with its beak. The crow stole a sausage from our table!

Later in the evening, we all went to visit granny. The place where we ate has many cats. I was very excited. There was a rat nearby making "chip chip" sound. It was a long day and when we got home, I was beat!

The new van has arrived!

We all went to sentosa on Sunday in the new van. It was very cool. Later we went to Koufu for lunch. But sadly we noticed there was a "no dog" sign at the Koufu. We ignored it and ate our lunch. Sentosa is no longer dog-friendly. When we were at the beach, the beach patrol distributed flyers stating that all dogs must be leashed.

Smoked Turkey Neck

Buttons and Ninja's Mummy visiting Singapore from Australia! She brings us lots of goodies! Smoked turkey neck, kangaroo back bones, pork bone, lamb lungs, and a doggie carrier. We love her lots. Buttons and Ninja have migrated to Australia for a year now. We miss them.

Pets on MRT/Trains

It would be wonderful if I am allowed on the MRT/Trains in Singapore, like in the first world countries. Mummy will then bring me all over Singapore on MRT ! I will be with Mummy all the time! Great! All dog lovers please vote "yes" in the below LTA survey!
