Yin Yang

Do we look like Yin Yang symbol?


Here's the snow skin mooncake.

Mooncake Festival

Mummy, Buttercup and Ninja's Mummy from Australia are enjoying mooncakes and drinking Chinese tea. The mooncakes are from Sze-Chuan Court. The mini Snow-Skin mooncakes are Strawberry & Dark Chocolate, Rum & Raisin Chocolate Truffle, Champagne Truffle, and Baileys Chocolate.

This is Cookie eyeing the mooncakes.

This is me hoping to get a bite of the mooncakes. Sometimes I drool...

Cookie Posting

Cookie on a see-saw. She loves doing agility, and very good at it. I don't do agility as Mummy is afraid that I may hurt my backbones.

It's been awhile since I posted Cookie's photos on my blog. Thought her friends may miss her. Here are Cookie's latest photos while she celebrated her ninth year-old birthday. Do you think she has aged when compared to her younger photo? This evening when Mummy walked me to Bishan Park, I met Jack and Joey. They are really fit and active. Jack looks good for his age too.

Shinny Coat After Oatmeals

What do you all think? Does my coat get shinnier after eating oatmeals? These photos were taken this morning after eating oatmeals for dinner instead of rice. My Mummy is thinking if she should give me cod's liver oil to make my coat shinnier.

This is a wire-haired dachshund I met at the K9 Kampus today.

Cookie's growth at the bum

Miracle has happened with the growth at Cookie's bum. This morning Mummy tried to locate the growth and it was gone! It disappeared! Gone! It wasn't surgically removed. Just that Mummy has been spraying "Richard's Organics" incredible skin spray for dogs. Or may be eating oatmeals has helped Cookie recover. The growth has simply flattened by itself without any treatment from the vet. Mummy is so delighted!

Cookie's Birthday 31 August 2008

Cookie is nine years old yesterday on Sunday. Nothing special was going on... We didn't get to party or going for a long walkie walkie. Except we have human guests visited us at home. They ate mooncakes and drank Chinese tea. There was a little boy who came with his father. I was trying to smell him when he jumped onto the sofa and jumping up and down screaming. He thought I was going to eat him. Later he jumped onto his father's arm.

At night, Cookie was being naughty. She peed all over the pillows. I heard from Buttercup that tonight's dinner will be special for me and Cookie.

Shinny Coat and Fur

This photo was taken before I began my oatmeal dinner. Do you think my fur is shinny? Now that I am on oatmeal dinner, Mummy hopes that I get shinny coat and fur. My shampoo does contain oatmeal ingredient.

Oatmeal replaces rice

Instead of rice, our dinner is now consist of oatmeal. At first I didn't know what it was. I was just licking it. Mummy has to feed me spoon by spoon. But now I am loving it, gobbling it up quickly. Mummy is eating oatmeal herself to lower her cholesterol level.

Changi Village and Beach

This morning at 5:30 am, Mummy and Butter Cup packed us up into the van and off we went to Changi Airport. After that we went to Changi Beach and Changi Village. We have a nice walk and beautiful scenery along the beach. We met four unleashed dogs roaming freely, they were not stray dogs. We sat at a coffee shop for breakfast. Later we went for a swim. The wave was really huge as there were speedboats. We missed the sun rise at the beach.

Doggie Paradise Continues...

In the doggie paradise, doggies swimming happily.

Here is a Giant Schnauzer with long tail.

The Beagle is Mimi. She is very friendly! We have a great Sunday today. I ate meat balls and frozen yogurt.

Doggie Paradise

Today we hitched a ride to doggie paradise on our friend, Dewey's, car. Here is me relaxing during the ride.

And here is Cookie sleeping on the way.....

When we reached the doggie paradise, there were already many doggies out and running!

So many friends around...

Dewey is here for dog obedient lesson conducted by my Mummy and Butetrcup. Dewey was adopted from SPCA a year ago. Basically he is a very friendly dog. It's just that he doesn't listen to his Mama. He will bolt off jumping over a fence and off he goes...

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....
