Poor Toy

This is the condition of this new toy after 3 hours I bought home. Pity Casper boy... the toy is torn before he have the chance to play with it. Look at how hard Hero boy played with it and you will feel lucky for the toy that its condition isn't that bad...

3 hours after the toy arrived home.

Let's play tug-o-war!

Jungle Trekking (4th August 2007)

It's Saturday again... When I woke up, Hero and Casper still blur blur sleeping there. They knew I was up, but they just continued with their sweet doggie dream. Straight after I took out my trek bottom, the two of them jumped up and wagged the tail like crazy... they knew we were going to jungle trekking.. amazing...

This week, I still brought the rotan, just standby... to discipline Hero when he starts showing his dominant & fighting and to stop Casper when he barks like crazy at bigger dog... Hopefully they will behave better this week. Well, at last, my rotan was not as effective as Sow Fun's Tone of Discipline... Casper listen to her :-D

It was raining the night before. The trek was quite muddy and slippery, Hero and Casper's leg became yellowish very fast, not even half of the trek. they got quite dirty but they enjoyed the outing very much.

Before leaving for home, we went for breakfast at the Indian mamak... fed them with few small pieces of plain roti canai :-p

Let's cross the stream together...

Mommy, wait for us...

Bently is enjoying the cool water 'spa' again

Rest for awhile...

Come on... let's go!

Ganbette! we can make it...

Mommy, carry carry...

Sleep like pig afters... ZZzzzz

Night Out @ Friendster Cafe

I always wanted to take the furkids to Friendster Cafe after seeing so many pictures from the ALL Pets Gathering Friendster Cafe @ HomeApetforum. But I am quite worry that they will misbehave outside. After a few tries bringing them to the mamak and chinese kopitiam, I somehow "think" that they can behave themselves. So, I decided to bring them to the cafe last friday.

On that day, I prepared myself to leave office "early", at 7 pm, to rush home and bring the WHOLE family for the dinner.

We were very lucky. I managed to get the parking space right in front on the cafe entrance. Not much patron on that night. We reached there about 7.45pm and only 1 seat outside was occupied. The waiter arranged us a corner table, next to the entrance. My mother and I thought of letting the kids to sit on the chair because we are lazy to clean them later. But the chairs are the type which have gap in between the stainless steel plate. The kids didn't dare to move after I put them on the chair... kesian them, they just stand still there. Finally, I let them to sit on the floor.

As usual, I tied their leash to my chair. They are excited and busy walking here and there to sniff around. After settled down, they sit quietly under my chair and the table, with some barking, occasionally to the stranger who walked pass us :-(

And as usual, I shared my food with them. But I only gave them the bread, because the food we ordered is too oily and salty for them.

I am quite happy with them. Their overall "performance" are good. They behave themselves well. I think they will be more "civilize" in the future with more outing and not going to bark at the patron :-D

Casper: Mommy, can I eat some?

Hero: Don't forget me, mommy.

Tricks

Teaching them new tricks is fun. Especially when they pick up the tricks. You just feel so proud of them!

I have not taught them many tricks, mainly because I don't know what to teach them. Here are the tricks/commands they learn so far.

1) sit
2) heal
3) down
4) wait (wait for food most of the time)
5) stay
6) roll
7) "hoop" (sit up)
8) sleep (the famous bang bang game)
9) turn (turn around themselves)
10) bow - only Hero
11) bark
12) Quiet - only Casper and only at home... he barks like crazy when outside the house :-(
12) Circle (walk around me) - only Hero
13) Cross (weaving around legs) - only Hero
14) fetch - catch what I throw - only Hero
15) give - leave what is in the mouth - only Hero
16) take - take the toy nearer to me - only Hero
17) shake hand
18) back
19) stand (with 4 legs)

Obviously, Hero knows more tricks, not because he is smarter. It is mainly he is more stable when he sees the treats. He will listen carefully what is the command and do it right. While Casper get excited when he sees the treats, he will simply do all commands he knows in order to get the rewards or he will be so happy and starts jumping up and down...


Here are some tricks where there is static post and easier for the photo taking.

Bow

"Hoop" (sit up)... the best trick Casper knows... he can remain the position for a very long time.

"Hoop" (sit up).. Hero does not pick up this trick so good.. his buttock will leave the floor and he waves his front leg like 'ching ching'

Fetch... after fetching the toy and bring the toy back, Hero will "play" with the toy for a while, then drop it near me and perform the "down" command to wait for me to throw it again!

Standing Poo

I was sitting in front of this poo poo for quite some time, trying to figure out how did the kids pass the feces... It just looks like The Tower of Pisa...

It was a Sunday morning few months back, after I woke up and I saw this in my attached bathroom. Not sure Hero or Casper "produced" this... but it was amazing, he must be aiming very hard to get the poo stands :-P This was something that make the whole family laugh the whole morning... even until now...

Well, on that day, I forced the kids to drink lots of water... It could just be constipation... :-(

ZZzzzzzz

When I surf the homeAPet forum, I found this special topic,
Let Show Our Doggie Zzzzzzzzz PicTuRe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . This is an interesting topic. Most dog owners take lots of pictures for the furkids... Pretty or handsome look, energetic or speedy or active look, cute look, greedy look, eating looking, playing look, mystery look... etc. There are so many posture or expression can be seen from their face...

After seeing those sleeping picture, I feel I am not alone! The kids share the same or similar sleeping post... So, I decided to show some of the kids sleeping pictures.

Well... after *filtering* of the 'level 3' photos, these are the photos :-D

Hero: This is my usual sleeping post

Hero: ... But sometimes I love this

Hero: Most of the time I like this... beside mommy pillow

Casper: (Snoring...)
