My Doggie Goggles

Ooo...Mummy just returned from a trip outside and first thing she did was call me out of my den and give me a carrot. Then she whipped out a present for me! She was all excited and she asked me to sit then before I could say "where's my treat?", she started pulling the Doggles over my head.



Wow, I tell you, things got darker. Mum was jumping up and down with joy but I was just blurred out for a second. Honestly, I just sat there and spaced. Mum got a wee bit worried and walked away. Of course I could see her so my head turned and followed then she was happy.



I think its pretty funky and I look suave. Babes, here I come! =P



Not a bad goggle...with UV protection too. So i'd give this 4.5 paws out of 5 for the eye protection it provides and good fit too. Oh, btw, its good for us cos Corgis are pre-disposed to getting glaucoma (which my grandma has) and that means we'll be senstitve to light.

Benny - Exposed!!!



I bet many dogs do this when they feel safe and secure and sleep and hot. Yep, I'm talking about taking a nap on your back and airing the underside. I love to sleep like this cos its cooling on my body.



Sometimes I wake up when I hear Mummy talking about me (or at least I dream she was talking about me). Usually I drift off back to sleep if she isn't going to feed me or play with me.



I can sleep anywhere. In the kitchen, next to the TV, next to the couch, in the middle of the floor. Yeah, wherever is cool and comfy is fine by me. I'm not a fussy dog. And as you can see, I like to face to my right. Guess i'm right-pawed? =)

The Day Dog Drool Ruled with Massages

The 3rd of May was simply awesome pawsome! So many friends came over to the house! 2 of the Jack Russell Terriers were here to redeem their prepaid massage sessions and 2 Golden Retrievers were here to well...PLAY!







Wait a second. One golden slept most of the time. That's Herbie. When he first came over, he was so much fun and I pulled at his ears until they were dripping wet. This time he was like an old man. Sleepy and tired. We played a bit but I think he enjoyed the massage by Mummy most that day.







This is the first time I met the new little brother, Helios! He is like only 4 months old but he's taller than I am and as long too! Wah...He was so full of energy so I spent at least 75% of my time and energy playing with him and drooling on his head. Hahahaha! Boy were his ears soaking wet at the end of the fun eh?







The 2 JRTs were kinda shy but still interactive. For once, a small dog liked me! Joey actually licked my face and wanted to play. He was funny cos Helios would take my Galileo bone and chew on it (he is teething), then he'd lose it and Joey would swiftly sneak in and hold the huge Galileo in his tiny mouth. I knew he was a sharer so I kinda let him hold it while I chewed. =)







Jack was the one who had the most stress. Poor old guy had problems in his leg and spine already so the therapy he got from Mummy was probably making wonder what was going on. But before and after his therapy, he would come and butt heads with us too! It was funny to see the small, medium and large breeds all play together.



I sure hope to meet up again with them soon. I'm practicing my drooling techniques...just you wait...beware Helios...your ear flaps will be soggy once again! Bwahaha....

The Bopper


Ok Mummy...enough with the photos and posing right? I wanna play with the thingy.....

Apparently I ate enough kibbles for Mummy to redeem a free rubber toy for me. Its call the Bopper. Its a weird egg shaped rubber toy with a heavy base and meshed holes on the rest of it.



It tends to wobble here and there. Oh sorry. It BOPS here and there. You see it in this picture leaning away from me? Yah, I know, I did the funny dog thing of bopping with it too. haha!



And this is me trying my hardest to chew on it. Oh sometimes I see Mummy looking bewildered at me cos I think my mouth is so big that i can pick up the bopper by its huge solid bottom. =)



Its kinda fun to play fetch with cos carrying it in my mouth and running back to mummy makes the thing bop in my mouth and its just funny.

I like it. Yah! I give it 4 paws out of 5! It could improve on the taste. haha...

The day at the SKC Dog Show



Yesterday Mummy brought me to the SKC Dog Show at the Expo. I made so many friends. People and dog alike....I was wearing the Outward Hound Dog Backpack too which was great for Mummy cos I carried my own treats and wipes. I even did my thing and advertised for Pawsitive Sensations.



It wasn't as crowded and there weren't that many stalls this time around compared to the one held in Feb.



Anyway, I met old friends like Paw and Baby who had come for a massage session before by Pawsitive Sensations. Paw and I went all out and played like nuts again. Baby seemed to remember Mummy from the massage session and let Mummy hug and rub her belly.



I also met new friends all over the place...and so many corgi loving people came to say hi to me and take my photos. teehee. Am i handsome or what...(Mummy is frowning at my ego statement). The one in the picture is Chester, plus really friendly human and her dog who thinks she's a corgi so that's what we'll call her. ;)



This video features mostly Chester but you can also see me trying to play with Baby. I wanna have more fun!!! More outings....!!! MUMMY!

The Banana Raid

Mum woke up this morning and found this:



Obviously she wasn't happy. I think she though that I managed to crap all over the floor with no evil smell emanating through the house. But then she saw the plastic bag on the floor and the raffia string...it dawned on her that I ate the whole bunch of bananas.

Well, I tried hard to reach the bananas on the kitchen counter last night and... SUCCESS!!! I pulled them out of the plastic bag and well, started munching. The little black strips you see in the photo above are the remaining skins of the bananas. =)

Mummy says my tummy is a wee bit bloated. I don't think so. I still wanted my breakfast, which she promted reduced by half. Bah. See my belly for yourself and decide.

Pet Movers Dog Run


We just came back from the PMDR. I'm actually fast asleep now from the exertion and my dreaming my thoughts over to Mummy for this entry.

It was a beautiful dog run! I loved it! We met a cool looking Border Collie called Archilles and he instantly became my bigger brother. There was running, playing, sharing water, more running, rolling in sand, walking in mud....

They even have a tap where u can get water from for ur doggy....well, I would've drunk from it but archilles' Mum brought nice cold water instead, so I drank from his bowl. hahaha....

There are also a few agility training aids there. I of course was clueless to what these things were for so I did my best and ran around them. That's the right thing to do yes?

Anyway, I definitely want to go back there again and I have a feeling that Mummy will be bring treats or fetch toys so that she can do more training on me. Woohoo! Ok, back to dreaming.

BBBB's on Bones - Part 4

Galileo..... have you seen those alien looking bones from Nylabone? My daddy bought me one from USA around Christmas last year. Its cheaper than buying it here in Singapore.

This big assed bone was dense and rock solid. When I first got it, I went all ballistic running around the house with Galileo in my mouth, flinging and throwing it on the ground....ha! You should have seen my parents faces when they saw me do that. It sounded like rock pounding on rock! I was having a blast. Of course, the amount of noise I was making meant that I had to keep it quiet so after a few quick "shh!" from Mummy, I leant to play with it quietly and gnaw on it.

There are 3 knobbly ends to this thing. With my small mouth (*wink*) I targeted the smaller knobs and here's what it looks like at present. =)



Mummy loves it cos its the most durable bone. Although the initial cost is higher, it has lasted so much longer than the other bones...so I give this a 4.5 paws out of 5! Wee!!!

I'm a Cockroach Killer!

Mummy hates cockroaches. She usually screams bloody murder and hollers for Daddy to come and get rid of the critters when she sees one. I've decided to be a true dog friend to Mummy and become a cockroach killer.

My first known attempt was a few months ago...sometime last year. Mummy came into my den and found some roach legs on the floor and me looking mildly satisfied. I believe the words that came out of her mouth were...."GROSS!" Thereafter she'd see me chase a few nymphs around.

(Note: its not that the house is infested. This happens everytime the surrounding area is fumigated. Mummy is trying to get me to stop eating it for fear of getting poisoned. Kill them yes, eat them no.)

More recently, a huge flying roach started flying around the house and Mummy again screamed bloody murder and ran into her bedroom. I freaked out too!!! I saw the roach but chose to stick close to Mummy and ran with her into the forbidden room. We were petrified. Only Daddy could save us.

And finally...this morning, when Mummy awoke to clean up my poo, I was a model roach killer. I killed the bug and left it there mostly whole. Ok, the legs were gone. Haha...nasty enough for you? Mummy wanted to take pics but decided it was "GROSS!!!"

BBBB's on Treats!

I love eating. Which dog doesn't? Haha...but cos I'm a CORGI, its even worse. We can eat ourselves silly and still ask for more. That's why Mummy is very strict about my feedings. She makes sure I'm not fat. And because my coat isn't very thick, which is good cos the weather here is hot, I look like a slim corgi.

A slim corgi??? Egads! haha. But I still love food and I try my best to beg for it, usually to no avail. Sometimes, Mummy and Daddy are kind and they give me bits of pear and raw carrots. I love it!

Oops, pardon me. I digress. Today, I'm going to talk about these lusciously green treats called Bone-A-Mints. They are Wheat Free and they are supposed to give me "A Cool, Minty-Fresh Breath".

Mummy bought the minis for me and I can't help but wish they were bigger. Can you see my facial expression? Its like say...YUMMY...but THAT'S ALL???

Anyway, they do give me good breath and I eat them quite neatly. No messy bits all over the place like some of th other greenies.

For a quick fresh breath greenie that is a no mess, this is awesome pawsome. The smell of my breath isn't over poweringly minty. Its a mild toothpaste smell. My mum approves.

And so I give it a rating of 4 paws out of 5.
