Poor Toto

Guess what! Mummy tells me that this weekend Toto is having his boy bits taken out. I had mine done ages ago. And if I remember correctly, Toto will hate it.

First, he can't eat or drink from the night before. Mummy says this is because they will put Toto under general anaesthetic. This makes him go to sleep and not feel the pain.

Then he will wake up and feel really whoosy and sleepy for the rest of the day. And worst of all, the lampshade!! He will have to wear it at least 2 weeks.

Poor Toto! My heart goes out to him.

Silly Toto

Yesterday, our parents brought the whole family to Tanjong Beach. It was a very hot and muggy afternoon. I was panting and panting as it was really hot. When we finally got to the beach, I could hardly wait for my Kor Kor and Jie Jie to change so that they can take me to the sea. Finally into the cold cold sea - I leapt in.

Meanwhile Toto thought he was Superman and followed me jump in as well. This is where he became totally silly. That twit, he kept drinking the sea water. Lapping it up with his greedy tongue. Daddy told him not to do it and that he would get sick, but did he listen - no he did not. True enough, when we went to rest on the beach with Mummy, that silly brother of mine puked his guts out. Serves him right for not listening to Daddy.

But that's not the end of his silliness. When we got home, Toto suddenly started shivering and wouldn't stop. And horrors - he didn't want to eat his dinner. This is very very very unusual as we all know how greedy Toto is. Food is his first love. And sea water it seems!!

Mummy got real worried and kept holding him and covering him with a warm towel. I have to say I got rather jealous and wished I was sick too. Daddy said it was probably all the sea water he insisted on drinking and exhaustion. He is littler than I so he's not so used to hectic activity. Anyway, luckily after all the mothering Mummy gave him he felt better. After sleeping the whole night, today he is right as rain and gobbling down his breakfast like he always does. I sure hope he learnt his lesson and listen to Daddy next time. But I know my brother, he will forget and do exactly the same thing the next time we go. That silly boy!!

Pictures

Its now 2008. A brand new year. I thought that as a first post for the year, I would share some recent pictures which my Daddy took.

Here's one of my Mummy and I.

I love you Mummy! You are such a nice soft pillow.

Hark! Who goes there?

How do you like my bling bling collar? Mummy made it out of teeny weeny beads and crystals for me. I only wear it for special occasions.

So that Toto doesn't feel left out here's one of him.

Happy New Year!!!

Toto and I wish all our doggy friends and their hoomans a very happy and successful 2008. May the new year bring with it loads of treats for us furkids and their hoomans.

Today is the very last day of 2007. This year has been quite eventful for me. First off, I had my boy bits taken out this year. I was sorry to see them go but Mummy says she loves me with or without my boy bits so I guess that was OK.

I also gained a brother this year. I went from a single dog family to having to share my hoomans with a pesky little brother. I am still getting used to being a big brother.

And another very exciting event in my doggy world - I found Dogs With Blogs! I am so happy to have found such a happy and caring community out there in cyberspace. I am enjoying myself very much with all the friends that I have found.

I now look forward to 2008. I wonder what the year will bring for me.

Post Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends and their parents!

Its been ages since Mummy updated my blog for me. She has been deserting us and travelling all over the place in the last month. That is why I am so back dated. Anyway better late than never now that Mummy is home.

Well, Christmas has come and gone. I just love Christmas and I wish it came more than once a year. Loads of yummy things to eat and pressies. Lovely! We always have a lovely tree all decorated with glittery things and lights. And of course, loads of pressies under it. It was Toto's first Christmas with us so he was a bit confused in the beginning but he soon got the idea when the food came along.

With Mummy and our tree (and our pressies)

Christmas in our house is a time to be with family and this year was no exception. Mummy made a yummy dinner of roast beef and rack of lamb. We were given some for our Christmas dinner so I can tell you it was good. And we had Por Por (my maternal Grandmother), Mah Mah (my paternal Grandmother) and Qong Qong (my paternal Grandfather) over for dinner.

Jie Jie as usual clowning around at the dinner table

After dinner we opened all our presents and there were loads of presents to be opened. It was really quite exciting. Kor Kor and Jie Jie were squealing and jumping around with excitement. I had been smelling something really yummy around the tree the last couple of days. I've been wondering if its my present.

I was right. It was my present.Kor Kor in raptures over his Christmas present

All too soon, all the presents were opened. The very last bit of roast beef and lamb were gone. Its time to get back to our favourite pasttime - lazing around till next Christmas

Busy Busy

Sorry! Sorry! A thousand apologies my fur friends. The last 10 days have been really very hectic. Many things have happened and I just couldn't find the time to sit down with Mummy and work on my blog.

Firstly, Daddy got real sick with food poisoning and had to go to hospital! He was there for 4 whole days. He is now fine and is back at home. But during those days, Mummy, Jie Jie and Kor Kor had to go to hospital everyday. Mummy says Daddy was just like a big baby when he was in hospital. Personally I think Daddy was faking it. He doesn't look sick to me. He just wanted some babying!

After the big hooha with Daddy, Toto turned 1 year old. He's a big boy now. I must say I like this birthday thing. Even though it was Toto's birthday I also enjoyed his presents. I had such a good time that day.

The day started out as usual with Toto in his favorite pose.

Then we had the present giving session. I can see treats and my favorite squeaky toys in there. I wanted them but Mummy says they are for Toto because its his birthday presents. Its not fair. I also want pressies too.

Thank goodness Toto shared his presents with me. I love my brother! Here's a video of us playing with his toy.

Well! Its actually a video of me playing with his toy!

After playing for a bit, Mummy said it was time to have cake. Cake! Cake! I love cake! So we gathered around and Mummy brought out Toto's birthday cake. It had a little doggie on it and one candle for his 1st birthday. See his cake. Next year, I will get my own cake Mummy says. I will have 2 candles on mine.

After Toto, well Jie Jie helped, blew out the candle Toto cut his cake. Here he is doing the honours with Jie Jie's help.

Then we each got a huge piece of cake. It is vanilla pandan flavor. Yum Yum! Here we are wolfing down our cake.

To end off a perfect day, we even had a special dinner that night. We had lamb with pasta. What a treat. I have to tell you I didn't like the lettuce and broccoli but I ate everything else. Toto as usual ate every drop and tried to get mine too.

I've Been Away

Sorry my furfriends. My Mummy has been really busy this last week. She had this big meeting happening and had many people from all over the world visiting so she has not been free to update my blog. As a result of that too, our lives have been rather boring of late. But the good news is that we are now back to normal. I have missed reading all your blogs and will be spending the next few days doing so.

In the meantime, I am so happy that I have been given 2 awards. The first one is the I "Heart" Your Blog! from Petbeach. Its a blog about stories of furkids and their adventures. They are new and depend on stories from fellow furkids. So please do visit them and give them stories about yourselves.


The second award is Be The Blog from my fellow Cairn terrors, Maya and Kena. Thanks a million you guys. You're the greatest. I just love reading about your exploits.

This award is presented to a successful blogger, one who can “be the blog” - making it their own, staying with it, interacting with the readers, and just plain having fun. At the same time, I would also like to give this award to my good friend Precious, Girl Girl The Hamsterberian, Lorenza and Balboa & his Mummy. They are just the greatest bloggers.

And very importantly, my Jie Jie has asked me to thank all of you for your kind barkday wishes. She had a great time eating and eating like a pig. (The pig part I added in myself.)

She also has more great news. She learnt yesterday that she has been accepted into the junior college of her choice. She will be reading Theatre Studies and Drama. This means that we will have to put up with more wailing and screeching from her trying to sing!!! More of her prancing around doing something she calls dancing! She looks rather funny when she does this. Anyway, congratulations Jie Jie.
