Cookie's Growth in the Butt

As Cookie's growth in the butt is geting bigger and redder, Mummy thought it is a good idea to let the sea water cure it. So we went to Sentosa Tanjong Beach. We met good old friend, Duffy, the Scottish Terrier. After the beach, Mummy checked that Cookie's growth is no longer reddish, it is back to pinkish. So the sea water must have helped. Anyway, it is time to check with the vet again.

Eating Durian

It's the durian season in the month of July! Mummy has been eating a lot of the $2/durian from China Town. Almost everyday. The durian meat is sweet and golden yellow. We love it as well. Everytime we see the durians on the floor, we will go over and smell them. We have to be careful around the thorny fruit, may get pricked if we bump into it.

Pasir Ris Park

We have a surprise trip today. Instead of the usual Bishan Park or Sentosa, Mummy brought us to Pasir Ris Park. This is the first time in my life to visit Pasir Ris Park. It is so huge. We spent five hours going from one end to the other. I swam and played fetch game at the beach. Cookie climbed up and slide down the giant slide at the children's play ground.

Mummy met a group of Filipino BBQ at the beach. They were so nice to offer Mummy and Buttercup BBQ chicken wings. Yummy!

When we reached home, Cookie and I had raw oxtail to chew. After our shower we had eggs. We love Sunday!

Chewing Ox Tail again

Apparently my losing teeth did not affect my ability to chew on ox tail. Mummy has been giving me skinny ox tail to chew on, and I am able to chew and eat it. I am so happy! I am still able to play fetch squeaky ball game too without my front teeth! As I hate the tooth brush, mummy has been using gauze to rub on my teeth.

Molar extraction.. oouch!

Went to the vet for teeth scaling this morning.... Came back missing a back molar and four fronth teeth. Back molar was cracked and root decaying, so has to be extracted. Four front teeth (three below and one top) were loose, so have to be removed. No tumor found in the mouth cavity. The lump around the throat has reduced in size, so continue with antibiotics treatment. From inside the mouth, the lump looks like a hardened skin, according to the vet.

On the ride home I moved about in the carrier noisily. Once home, Cookie checked me out and I couldn't walk properly. My hind legs were weak. At home I kissed Mummy all over...
I am now taking PlaqueOff which contains especially selected seaweed: D1070. My drinking water is also added with Biotene, which contains two natural enzyme system that help remove plaque. Every night Mummy is also brushing my teeth using PetzLife Oral Care Gel, wild salmon oil.

I am only 5 years old, and I have lost six teeth..... Mummy is very worried...

Discover a lump around the throat

This morning Mummy woke up very concerned as she found a lump on my right side of the throat. She called the vet to make an appointment for this afternoon. Suddenly Cookie's buttock small growth seems so insignificant.

We are back from the vet in the afternoon. The vet treated the swollen throat as an infection. So I was given 2 types of antibiotics. Mummy fed me the pills with yummy food.

This Wednesday I am still going to the vet for teeth scaling. The vet will have a better look at my swollen throat then. The vet also have a look at Cookie's growth and she thought that it was nothing serious.

At K9 Kampus this morning, I was enjoying myself and eating the lamb meatballs. The swollen throat didn't bother me a bit. I was running around the compound actively playing and barking.

A small growth found on Cookie's butt

Mummy found a small growth, about the size of a Singapore one cent coin, on Cookie's butt (not the anus). The growth is regular in shape. So instead of going for a teeth scaling, Cookie is seeing the vet about the growth. Hope it's nothing serious!

Teeth Scaling and Extraction

I have gum problem....Mummy has made an appointment for me to undergo teeth scaling and extraction. It's genetic. Cookie is also coming with me, she needs a teeth scaling as well. Cookie is 9 years old and she hasn't lost any of her teeth yet. She has good teeth. The last time when Cookie has her teeth scaling was 4 years ago. I am 5 years old, and I am losing my front teeth..... This is my first time to have teeth scaling....

My Receding Gum

Mummy has made an appointment for me to see a vet in two weeks' time, as the vet is fully booked. Well, my front tooth has fallen off... Now there is another front tooth which is shaky. My gum is receding.

My front tooth fell off

I don't know what happened, but one of my front tooth fell off. So now there are only 3 front teeth left on me. And I am only 5 years old. I think my front tooth fell off when I was chewing on kangaroo's back bone on Thursday. Oh well.....

Serangoon Garden

We went to Serangoon Garden this evening. We went to Chomp Chomp.. 'no pets allowed' sign. We went to the hawker centre, again 'no pets allowed' sign. We went to Cafe Cartel, big big 'no pets allowed' sign. We hang out at the pet shop for a while. We found a pub with alfresco sitting area. Mummy asked if dogs are allowed outside. Yes! So we have our nice dinner at the pub. This pub is not the same one where Mummy had the rubber lamb chop (Blog posted on Jan 26, 2008).

My favorite corner

This is Cookie's favorite sleeping corner when Mummy and Buttercup are working at the table above.

Pawtobello Dog Cafe

We finally went to Pawtobello dog cafe in town after hearing from my doggies friends how cool the place is to hang out. It was really crowded with many doggies. I ate 'muttloaf' and Cookie ate 'something fishy'. There was this small black dog (miniature pinscher) picking fight with me. Cookie jumped down from the chair to fight the dog off.

Meeting my friends on Mother's Day

This is me, Cookie and Dewey (Cocker Spaniel) on a walk today. We decided to meet at K9 Kampus to celebrate Mother's Day.

This is me and Alfie (Jack Russell Terrier) playing at K9 Kampus compound. Alfie is 5 years old like me. She loves to play fetch ball. Hey, we have a lot in common.

This is Cookie on agility. Although she has not been on agility for years, as the agility equipment in Bishan Park Dog Run was removed, she is still able to perform all the tricks!

This is Cookie on see-saw! She is still very agile and she loves to show off her agility skills!

We have a great time at K9 Kampus today celebrating Mother's Day!

My yellowish incisors

If you look closely at my incisors, you will see that they are yellowish. Mummy has been trying to clean them using the salmon oil dental care gel every day. Are they better now? I am born with not very good teeth. One of my front tooth is shaking now... It may drop off one day... Sometimes when I chew on the kangaroo bones, it will bleed.

K9 Kampus Dog Cafe

This is Kimura. He is the birthday boy, one year old. He is the son of Sakura. He is wearing a light blue two-piece tuxedo. Very handsome hor!

This is me and Cookie behaving ourselves very well in a cafe.

Starting from the left is Sakura, Kimura and Di Di. They are a happy family!

Today we went to K9 Kampus at Turf Club Road. The place was converted from a horse stable. It was awesome. We ate lamb meat balls, chicken pie, birthday cake, cheese bone, and lamb leg chew. Burrrrp!! There were about 15 dacshunds gathering for the birtday celebration. There were lots of barking going on in the dog cafe. It was a blast. I have a great time!

The beginning of skin problem

It's April, and the weather is getting hotter and more humid. My skin begins to flake. I have dandruffs! Buttercup showers me thoroughly each week and applies apple cider vinegar on my skin. I am being combed everyday now to get rid of my dandruffs. I hope my daily meal that consists of seaweed and flaxseed oil will help my skin to grow healthy again.... Mummy and Buttercup are very worried.

SPCA Dog Walk April 2008

This morning we arrived at Bishan Dog Run at 8:00 Am for the SPCA Dog Walk. There were about 50 other doggies already there. The whole group of doggies walked for 3 km around Bishan Park. As always, Cookie has to be number ONE. Buttercup and Cookie was the first to reach the end point. I was running behind Cookie, but Mummy was pulling me to slow down!

When we finished the walk, SPCA gave out so many free gifts! It was like Christmas! There were dog bowls, leather leashes, collars, harnesses, T-shirts, doggie beds, doggie houses, apples, and water bottles. Buttercup got us a bright red doggie house. Mummy got a T-shirt.

I love my new doggie home!

Pet Cafe

Although my birthday is over, this morning Mummy and Buttercup brought us to Pet Cafe for a treat. We skipped our breakfast at 8 am. I was very hungry. We reached the Pet Cafe at 9 am. Our chicken and rice order came at 9:30 and we chowed down hungrily. Oh boy it was so yummy. We ate everything except the celery branches. We met our friend at the cafe, Dewey. He was a Cocker Spaniel. His Mummy adopted him from SPCA last year. He is a vegetarian. Looks like we will be visiting the Pet Cafe again soon, as the people and doggies there are jolly friendly!

13 April 2008 - My Birthday on Sunday!

I celebrated my five years old birthday yesterday! I woke up late at 12 pm, ate my fruits and yoghurt breakfast. Mummy and Buttercup brought us to Bishan Park for walks. Then we went for late lunch at 3 pm. I ate some unsalted french fries and chicken salad. When we got home, I had a hot shower. After shower I have my steak dinner and Cookie have chicken filet. Yummy! I love my birthday!
