My new friend, Mr Lamb

Hi everyone! Guess what? I met a new friend yesterday. Mom introduced me to Mr Lamb. He is shimmering black & very huggable. 

Mr Lamb and I were having so much fun yesterday. We introduced ourselves & have a good time sniffing each other out. After that we had a WWF rumble session together. All these reminds me so much of my pal, Benny and my so-called "Geylang" triad brethrens.

Mr Lamb was so good in wrestling that he pinned me down so quickly "Ouch!!! Get off me you lamb-chop!!!"

I tried to win him but at the end, I lost instead - I felt so discouraged & don't want to play with him anymore *Hmph... Sulk!*

Well, Mr Lamb is very nice. He snuggled up to me and gave me a good massage instead - *Oohhhh...Aaahhh... Nice... more-more...where did you learn that from? Auntie Zoe? Shiok shiok...Ahhhh...*

Ok buddy, we are friends again.

After the good massage, we both fell asleep together and drifted off to dreamland where the fun continues.

I must say that Mr Lamb is a good wrestler but he is also a very sweet and attentive pal.

I love you Mr Lamb! 

Happy New Year & Blessed 2009!

Cough*** I have just cleaned up the dusty keyboard. It's been a long time since I update my journal. 

I thought to myself that it would be a good time to start the year right & start journalling again. 

My folks just came back from their holiday & I've just came back from godma's home. 

I really had a great time. This is definitely so much more happier than going to boarding school. 

If you are interested to have a glimpse of my holiday in godma's home, you can read from this link

So let me start the year by wishing everyone especially my family and friends - A blessed 2009. 

Despite of what may come, our loving Creator & God is still in control - He knows everything.

He is ever present when you are in need & when you are helpless. Who would know you better

than the Creator Himself who have all the blueprints of your life *Wink*

You only need to give Him a chance - Call upon Him & "Bing!!!" 

He will appear right beside you without you even knowing it. 

I do that all the time especially when I am frightened & have to face many bad storms alone at home / boarding school.

I often ask God to help me out when I accidentally mess things up & needed help to set things right again. 

Don't ask why you can't see Him lah! 

Very likely the reason is - He don't want to give you a shock & make you jump out of your skin lah... Wahaha!

Hehe... I am not trying to be a gospel sales man but to me, good things must share mah ;p

That goes for me too - I would love to have you as my friend :)

Let me show you MY WORLD THROUGH MY EYES.

Never stop discovering & have the wonder of a child. 

You'll rediscover that life is amazing & never hopeless!

Me No Water Baby!

Last Wednesday, we went to visit Auntie Z at her shop at K9 Campus. So happy to meet up with Benny and Ode. Everything went well until godma persuaded mom to bring me for a good exercise they called swimming. I didn't suspect anything cos how deep can the pool be. It must be the same size as Barnabas kor-kor's tub - piece of cake.

So I said good bye to my buddies and followed my sis, Clare to the pool. Here is a photo of Clare and me. Everyone says we looked alike but can't they tell the difference. My eyes are not almond shape and my snout is shorter leh. Humans always says they got good eye sight but ... sigh!

(L - R) Auntie Lu & Clare; Mom & me

Here's the 3 of us having fun before mom breaks my party & whisked me to the pool.

Here's Benny teaching Ode how to give our parents the perfect "Evil Eyes"

Ode is a fast learner!

When we arrived, I was shocked.

This is not Barnabas kor-kor's tub.

Oh no! I've been punked!!!

I was strapped into Barnabas kor-kor's life jacket by mom & Auntie Lu.

The whole time I have been praying to God to keep me balance & afloat... Help!

Ok! I must stay cool - Remember to breath Dexter & swim, swim, swim...

Brrr... the water is cold! It has been raining & the sun went on vacation for days.

Well, Clare loves it. She is the only kid that didn't complain & enjoyed every bit of it.

My instructor threw the ball & asked us to fetch it.



Only my crazy sister went for it... What's with her?
How can anyone play fetch in cold water... Ah Chooo!!!



I was trying to scramble to land at every given opportunity.
Not like Clare... She is crazy over balls & water.
Bye gal! You can have the pool.



I was so dog-tired for 2 days.
Don't understand why some dogs like to get themselves wet?
I like it dry and nice. Yawn...

Dogs Career Day

Hello everyone! I am back. Yes uncle Eugene, I can hear you saying "Finally!" My apologise to all. Mom has been busy - with what? I dunno. She is either at the computer, on the chair reading & writting, cleaning the house, spray water and shampoo at me, direct the hair dryer at me or disappear to "Only God knows where" countries for days....! I have to learn to take care of dad, the house and be a little more independant.

Have you dudes / gals ever wonder why you were taught obedience lessons? It doesn't matter whether it is at home or in school. All these education and trainings are essential to keep us away from trouble and eventually groom us to be career dogs. Come on... you don't go to school for nothing. We will all join the workforce one day. We either work for our parents by helping them out at home or be a career dog some day. Like my pal Benny, he is a working dog. He is a professional ear cleaner, he keep his customers wet and happy & they keep coming back for more (Err... Benny, please give my mom a chance to clean my ears. Don't lick so clean can?..hehe)

Godma and my parents brought me to a Doggie Career Fair and attended a talk by Singapore Therapy Dogs. To my amazement, the people and all the doggies who were representing STD are very warm, nice, friendly and very professional. I am impressed and inspired by other smart and professional doggies. Here are some pictures of the material and welcome booth outside the presentation room.

Brochures neatly arranged for guess

Welcome and registration corner for guess

Everyone had a great time catching up before the career presentation

This nice uncle is showing some of us
how to do the John Travolta "Saturday Night Fever" moves

Everyone from the STD are all relaxed & ready to share their experience with us

We are excited too!
Here's mom & me; Aunt Lu & Clare & Barnabas kor-kor overseeing the event

Here's Auntie Pearly giving us an overview of STD's Mission:

• To share love, joy and enhance the lives of others
• To reopen the closed emotion doors of people with special needs
• STD is raising public awareness of people with disabilities
• The role of therapy dogs in assising them to live more confidently

So friends, let's live our life worthily!

Here's one intelligent dude who understand all the commands of his mom.

Wow! His "England" good man!

This cutie is such a good dancer - Very "Happening" leh.

They have such a good time dancing together in the beat of the music.

SO COOL....

This intelligent dude is a Mathematic whiz kid.

He is Uncle Charlie's son.

He knows how to count and pick up alphabet.

He was given a big hug from a gentleman.

We love to cheer and bring joy to people.

So we invited guess to dress us up and make us pretty.

Here's mom dolling up a dude...

Mom! For crying out loud - Don't make him a clown can?!

Aiyah! I "No Eye See" (Turning one side)

Clare was not spared either.

See what Auntie Lu did to her!

Auntie Lu, that look doesn't look like Spice Girl leh.

What's that huh? Princess Jasmine?

Hehe! Here's a photo of mom "Goofing me up".

I dreaded it but if mom is happy it is alright with me.

Ok dad! I will smile for the camera.

Here's me - The Hawaiian Hula dancer

Mom is asking me "Do I look cute?"

Bleh! Please don't let Benny and Ode see this!

After the exciting event was over,

we are all invited to have tea and stretched at the roof top.

Wee... Look at that space! Love the wind in my hair!

I must say I have a wonderful day!

Learn a lot from other doggies.

Well, if you are interested to be a career dog,

please visit the website to check out more for yourself (http://www.tdspore.org/)

Till then, remember to live your life worthily & adios!

I am off running around the roof.... Wee!

Read My Lips... I Am Straight!

I had a wonderful time this morning with just a little hiccups here and there. Godma came and brought me out for kai-kai. It was good to catch up and see everyone again. I came back and took a good sniff on myself. Smell alright to me. I didn't put on mom's perfume or anything. Lately I realized that I had some secret admirers. They have mistaken me as a girl... How blur can that be. I remembered I was in Bishan Park and was stalked by another dude. I was wondering why he rode me like a pony. I am a dog, you #$%@. There was also another dude who always went ga-ga over me and took me for a "RIDE" literally by force. So irritating... Why am I attracting these guys? Mom, is it caused by the shampoo that you use on me? Can you change whatever you are using on me?

Dexter Busy Sniffing Himself... Please dudes, do you see me carrying a mineral water bottle on my neck? Do you see me wearing skin tight outfit? "No" right? So.... "RIDE" far-far please. Play rough ok but anything else... Ahem! Can't distinguish the difference? I suggest you do a Google search if you are embarass to ask your parents. Otherwise, I believe Uncle Josiah (a highly qualified lecturer in in K9 Campus, Singapore) can answer your question. Sigh! Next time I must bring my IC to show them my gender. Some just don't believe me. So Sotong (Blur like a squid)! Bah!

Dealing With Fans Is A Tiring Business (YAWN)

Dexter the Guard Dog

I have a reason to be happy. My folks are praising me for being a good guard dog. They begin to recognized that I am growing up to be a fine Corgi Jedi Master and am no longer just a "Watch Dog" - Naive and watch only... Haha

These days, I stay vigilent both day and night. I will wake up with the slightest noise (Excluding my dad's gentle snoring noise - I am used to it) and go check on the main door. Anyone who attempt to break into my house will get a nice scolding from me.

Today is a nice cool day. Mom is home with me. I chewed on my toys and rawhides while she is doing some boring stuff on the table. We had some conversations in between and I am all excited to learn that tomorrow I am going kai-kai with godma again. I am hoping that this will be a weekly thing. This is the only time I get to meet my friends and meet new Corgi friends.

When will my best pal Benny get tired of doggie ears. Dude, if you are reading this please go easy on my poor ears. If only I have spare then I don't have to worry too much. Yawn... I am tired already. I better see what my parents are doing and tell them that I am going to bed now. Tomorrow is an exciting day!!!

Halo! We Are Back... With Clare!

Hi pals! Sorry for MIA for so long. What can I say. Mom has been busy with work lately and I can't seemed to be able to influence her to be my typist. I am thankful to godma for reminding her that she is tired of seeing Rusty's face for the past 2 months. Now she finally got the message and find time to sit down with me.

The most amazing thing that had happened to me in this 2 months is having a new baby sister. Let me introduce this cute little girl to you. Her name is Clare. I was so eager to meet my godsister. Last weekend, she came over and stayed with me. I was overjoyed!

I like her the moment I set my eyes on her. Mom, she is so adorable! I don't understand why mom and godma put her in this thing they call "playpen". It looks like a cage to me. I couldn't get next to her. She is trying to bite through the fence while I try to dig into the ground to reach her over the other side. Oh, I could not get my eyes off her.

Dexter & Clare met for the 1st time
Oh Clare, What Beautiful Eyes You've Got

For for the weekend, I baby-sitted Clare and appointed myself as her guardian angel. She is my sister. (Mom: You better believe it. Dexter literally stayed by her side throughout and even tolerated her scolding for not being able to rescue her out of her playpen. You should look at Dexter's face when Clare scolds him. He look one side but continued to stay by her side. Such a nice dude... sigh!)

Clare & Dexter As Her Self Appointed Guardian Angel

Dexter assuring Clare that she is not alone

The most difficult task is to explain to Clare that I didn't mean to leave her alone once a while when my folks calls me. I have to take care of my folks too, Clare. She accused me for being selfish and heartless. You will understand all these when you grow a little older. I understand how she feels. All she wants is to follow me around. It is ok sis. I am still here isn't it?

I must say that godma's chicken porridge is good. She left me some porridge and I love it. Thanks godma! Licks!
