I forgot to mention that I changed his food to timberwolf organics. Damn expensive. Almost $30 for 2 kg of kibbles. He is going to make me poor.

Anyway, just give it a try and see how it goes.
Changed from chicken to fish also. Heard fish is better for his coat.
Bought a new brand of wet food also. Trying out Nutripe. Not going to feed him Cesar anymore. SALTY. and no more Eukanuba. SALTY.

And I got barked at by a Shih Tzu at the petshop. Saddens.
It came looking for me first, while I was looking at the kibbles. Then when I was about to leave, it barked at me. Maybe it misses me???
Nope, I do not know the sex of the ST.

Let me start with some personal things first.
Ok, I will not say which day is it, but I wasnt in a good mood that day, coz some people reminded me of some things. I just cant seem to get over it. Haiz, and there's no one to tell, even if there is, I doubt anyone will want to listen. Well, but i did kinda told Jolly a little bit. I dunno if she agrees with me or what, but I just feel that way....hee
So what if I asked? It's just some casual asking. What big deal has it got?
Anyway, it's over. I would prefer not to see than to see.
Haha, ambiguity sucks.

Kenny told me to talk to Elmo, I tried today, coz I really cannot tahan anymore...need to say it out...but the person I wanna tok to is not very keen on it. So Elmo. But it made me feel stupid.
Alright, the next few lines might be stupid. But I am going to show all you people how stupid I can get and how sweet Elmo is.
I was trying to hug Elmo, but he struggled.
Then I said," Elmo, can you let me hug you for awhile?I got something to tell you."
And, he sat there to let me hug him. (Maybe I am thinking too much,he's just tired)
I did not feel so touched at that moment.
I was too bothered by the thing that had been in my mind since that Saturaday.
But heck, I am Me, and I belong to Me and my parents. I shouldnt let that thing bother me. But yet, somehow, I cant seem to do it.

Enough about me. Elmo's turn.

We went to the vet on the 18th for his 2nd vaccination. We saw a really cute chocolate toy poodle. Mummy said he was ugly, but i thought he was cute...cant see his eyes though. Covered by his hair...haha

This time, this boy was afraid an hyper on the vet's table. I could feel him trembling, but at the same time, he was busy sniffing here and there.
Then comes the needle.
He jumped. I had to carry him this time. Unlike the other time, when he just slept and slept.
But luckily, it wasnt as bad as Baby.
And now, I can officially leash him and bring him out. Though I did it behind the vet's back.So I think she should know who has been stalking her.(Please get the lame joke here.Haha.)

Bathed him last friday and this was taken after he had his bath...haha. He hates water and wind on his face. If you ever attempt to blow at his face, he will retaliate by biting you or kissing you,in the case of Miss Amanda.

And there's Elmo in his sleepy yet kpo mode.

Oh ya, I took a voice clip of him barking at the plastic bag todae.(Anyone can enlighten me on how to insert a voice file here?)
This is how he looked when he barked.

And the plastic is what he barked at...Ridiculously funny.

And the devil is growing longer and taller...Oops, Mummy's dream might be coming true.
He is long enough to put his head on the table to search for food now. But he has just learnt how to climb onto my writing table.

And this is his typical urine pose.

Below are the no-story-to-tell photos.

Handkerchief Boy.

I hear something in my left ear.

Amanda took this. Not bad after all.

Kena leashed at home becoz he kept going to disturb the auntie cleaning our house.

Alright, right at this moment, my brother is slping and I wan to sleep too. Slept at 0730 today.

Havent been feeding you all with photographs these days...I am going to make up for it todae..

Hehe, some updates first..Let me start with the most interesting thing that happened.
Elmo was playing with the clothes peg todae and I think he 'kiap' himself...Mummy already warned him le, but he still continue, coz he was so fascinated with his new toy,so when we were about to leave the house,we heard cries from the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and saw Elmo was trying to hit the peg, and I immediately knew what happen..haha..this boy 'kiap' himself.

His fave spot in the house is now gone. His carpet is gone...sobs~~~
But he can now run better in the living room, no hinderance, and we no longer need to worry if he will pee on the carpet again...but the thing is, he might pee on the cushions...hahaha....

Amanda is coming over to see Elmo tml, and hopefully, he behaves, since Sugar is such a gd gal...haha...
I am sleepy le..wanna slp liao...Here are the pictures~~~

After the bath on Sunday,but before combing

He's posing for me~~~

There's his drinking bottle!!!

He is a long fellow, and look at his rawhide, I just gave him this morning after the clothes peg incident and now he managed to one of the side out..OMG.

The greedy Elmo

Finally, I have some peace in the forest~~~

Took this with my hp...it's to big to be posted here..hehe...He's biting his rawhide though.

I am so proud of him!!!!
He learned TURN in half a day...must be the DHA in Eukanuba....haha.was just reading the brochure yesterday.
he's supposed to turn 360 degrees, then can get his food...soooo smart...taught him at about 7 todae and night time he knew liao...

Anw, todae's a first experience for Elmo and me. Hehe..I left him alone in the house when I went to take a shower. Hehe...he's free to roam ard the house, I wanna see what nonsense he will give me. Luckily, he did not give me too much of a shock. He just 'bombed' outside the toilet and then was 'chewing' on one of the pebbles. Had to put the bitter spray. Hopefully, he will not play with it anymore, coz I came across one incident whereby the dog ate a stone and it went thru alot...So, I dun want that to happen to Elmo.

Showered him yesterday and groomed him...wahaha...combed his hair to remove the tangles at his paws. Hehe, think it hurt him, coz he wanted to bite me...haha...
Tried the conditioner also...and it really made his coat softer.

Ok, this sat will be the day for his 2nd vaccination and also Daddy and Mummy's anniversary. Hehe...My dad broke the present I bought for them...dunno how he used it also...haiz...
Anw, I have alot of things to ask the vet.
Here's a brief list:-
- Can he take children's multivitamins?(coz i bought a bottle for him,but dun dare to give it to him)

- Are vegetables beneficial for them?(coz we've been given him daily, but he dun seem to digest them well)

- Will carrots and Vitamin C reduce the tear stains? ( coz I gave him carrots, and it seems that his tear stains are becoming lesser, or perhaps it's due to my diligence of wiping his eye area everyday. and alot of pple says that Vit C does decrease the amount of tear stains.)

hmm, that's about it, but I think Mummy got more things to ask the vet too..She was the one doing the asking the other time...haha...

I think my whole family really treats him like a baby..he's my brother...I address him as "your son" in front of my parents and they address him as "your brother" when talking to me...haha

No fotos todae coz the bluetooth doesnt work on this desktop...haha...
That's all folks!!!

I went to the dog event at ECP today..and gosh,there are so many dog owners in Singapore~~~and many more who did not bring their dogs...
Pig says I am dog crazy le,so into dogs~~~let me clarify, it's my dad who asked me to go...He proposed to bring thr camera too...anw, I am too lazy, so I will post the pictures of this really big dog I saw tml...

Nono, Elmo stayed at home..he did not go, coz the vet told us not to bring him near any dogs, so poor Elmo has to stay at home...

And the worst thing was, I saw the Bukit Panjang owner~~~lucky she didnt see me...otherwise, I also dunno what to say to her...Her 7 darlings did not come though...haha, They are great malteses..Maybe can see them again next time...

Anyway, I got a free packaet of kibbles from Eukanuba~~~
Haha, I thought what was the form for, so I filled in and then I asked the man:
"What's this for?"
" This is to redeem your trial pack. What brand of food are you feeding your dog now?"
"Eukanuba for small breed. " He seemed shocked to hear that, but he quickly said," Is yours still a puppy?"
I nodded.
"Then he gets another packet!!!" The man then took a plastic bag and put a pack of kibbles inside...
YAY!!!

Then I went to the Eagle Pack booth,in hope of getting some trials, coz I am thinking of changing his food, as quite a few pple say that Eukanuba is slightly more salty and its name is long and difficult to pronounce(I added this myself..hehe).But too bad, they din give out any.

Cesar booth. Pple kept writing their names down..wonder if that's to get free food? If yes, then 'tui' ar....I nvr go take,can save $1.65!!!

Then I went to the AVA booth, coz they were giving out goodie bags(seriously influenced by Amanda..hahaha), but when I reached there, they werent giving out anymore..and the gal at the counter was in a bad mood, I think...dun care about her~~~

Well, dogs were plentiful there. So many shih tzus and JRTs, not much malteses though, or maybe I din see...but there were a few huskies, a few westies, a few CKCS( and I am falling in love with them, but I still love Elmo more!!! Maybe for a 2nd dog, oops! Mummy's gonna kill me!), a few Poms, a few CHHs, a few minature schnauzers, GRs, labradors and many other breeds that I cannot identify.

On the whole, it was a very fun experience for me and I am definitely going to bring Elmo there if there is anymore of these.
ATTN: Elaine, you can bring Maomao too...hehe

Oh ya, and some of the dogs were really handsome and pretty...esp one CKC that I saw...so pretty...
Must bring Elmo to hook up some gals next time~~~Wahahaha!!!!

He is growing attached to me and I am afraid. Especially after what Missy Ong said...
She said it will be more difficult for Elmo to be without me than me without him...Aint that scary? What if I really have to go???? Hopefully he will still remember me when I am back..haiz, will only know at the end of this month.HOPEFULLY.

Anyway, not much updates these days coz I am too used to his actions liao...everytime will act guai when he does something wrong...For instance, he peed in the living room when you are in the kitchen, he will run back into his playpen and sit there, like a very guai boy...Imagine this,you going to pat him and praise him for being a good boy,then you close the playpen and walk into the living room,hoping to get some peace(FINALLY), then you see that puddle of urine...ELMO!!!!!!
But he's much better than last time already...still have to train more...
From observations, he dun seem to dare to go into the kitchen on his own...and he dun dare to run into the playpen on his own(unless for the situation I mentioned above)...so he dun dare to go pee and poo at the right place...haiz,headache...

1 more week to go before I can leash him and bring him down for walks...been training him at the corridor these few days and only FOOD can make him move..otherwise, I have to be prepared for a game of tug-of-war...maybe he enjoys that game....wahaha

He is really a tan chi gou(greedy dog)...He will follow whoever who has food...then will sit in front of that person and hope to get some food...here are sme photos of him looking at the ice cream that mummy ate~~~

Chiong ar!!! Got food!!!

Ice Cream~~~

*Drools*

Got the stick after much staring...

Now, I dunno what other tricks to continue from stand already....haha.
I accept suggestions.
Please sms me or leave a tag.
I will get back to you ASAP.
If your idea is accepted, you will be rewarded with a hug from Elmo.
Thank you for your participation.

And this boy is really crossing boundaries now...He dares to go into the restricted zone now and we have to lift up our hand(as if we going to hit him) before he will reverse into the safe zone.
And, he dares to take his rawhide up onto my bed to enjoy~~~

Ok, that's about it and here are some fotos taken with my new fone..hehe

The first foto taken with it - The curious/kaypoh Elmo

Nice shot!!

Staring at the pear that Mummy is holding.

That's him in the lazy afternoon(Dated: 11th Mar)

And him again in the lazy evening( Dated: 11th Mar, and he is getting longer)

Not forgetting, he weighs 2.7kg already.
That's 0.7kg in 1 month.

All right, after 5 days and complaints from Amanda and Elaine, I am forcing myself to write this entry...

Hmm, there's alot of things to update on...

I shall start with the horny stuffs first....
This boy humped my hand for a few days last week. Haha, I dunno if he has any funny thoughts in mind, but I asked the pple in dogsforum.com and they said he could just be testing his boundaries with me, since he's just a 3mths old kid. But he stopped this week le, so perhaps, it's really like what they say...

Well, this boy has been going on trips for the past week...Brought him to dayi's house on Saturday and he was slping all the way...and he is afraid of Ting ting, who kept pulling his tail..maybe that's the reason. Also brought him to Mummy's shop today...and I put him on his leash...wahaha...Everyone adores him!!!!
I put him in a basket when he was in the car as we were afraid that he might pee in the car..then it will stink...ATTN: Amanda, his fart smells, he farted in the car todae....wahaha
Here are some pictures of him in the car.

We are going on a ride ride ride~~~

When's Daddy coming back???I am bored~~~

On the way back and he's ZZZZzzzzzz

Oh ya, I spent another bomb on him last week...
Bot him the drinking bottle head(???? dunno what is it called), then some bitter spray,so that he wun bite the newspapers..I wan him to quit his job as the paper shredder..apparently,he loves that job too much,he used to do it with his mouth,now he does it with his paws...wonder how he does it...Then I bot him the retractable leash, and a collar for him...
He hates the leash,like most puppies...The first time I tried, he wouldnt even move a inch...I even showed him how long the leash can go,and he still stare at me blankly...Then I tried again the next day..at the corridor...this time, I tried with treats..WAHAHA...the greedy boy moved...and I am trying to train him to walk alongside...just like how they did it in Quill...haha.
This boy would do anything for food sia..."Tan Chi",like some of his gan ma(s)...wahaha...

There's him wearing his boyish collar...

Oh, one last thing, Daddy made him wear the ribbons for his partner's son wedding...coz they took our car to fetch the ah yi(s), then there were ribbons on the car...so Daddy took them up and tied them onto Elmo...haha,here are the fotos..Not very clearly taken,coz of the stupid camera~~~

One last thing to report on.This smart boy knows how to Sit(he learnt it the first day he was here), then Down(took me a few days..but he got zhao pai dong zuo,must bite my hand before he lie down), then he knows UP(learnt in 1 day) and STAND(also in 1 day)....wahaha...so smart....
But I have been trying to teach him Hand, since dunno when..till now,he still dunno~~~Mummy's also trying to teach him High five,instead of Hand,but still dunno..maybe he will be one of those dogs that dunno Hand...Knows the more difficult ones...haha

Alright,think I should stop here...
Anyway, I will be taking more fotos of him with my new fone...wahaha...since that stupid minolta doesnt work...
Finally, I would like to wish the other half of the fishes, Happy 21st Bdae!!!!

I forgot....Happy birthday to Mr Fong!!! The father of Elmo...haha...

And I also forgot to mention that the groomer praised him for beng a good boy.
She also said that he will grow big, and that he is considered big for his age...

Left a note at 12:48:00 AM

Finally, he went for his grooming session. I think it started at 5...I wasnt around for the first half of the session coz I was at Jolly's place, 'chatting' with Amanda who was busy watching tv programmes.

Well, me and Jolly started walking to the pethouse at about 6 and he was already on the grooming table...hehe..He was such a good boy...no fidgeting or whatsoever,just stood very still and let the groomer groom him...The moment the groomer saw me, she asked if we did cut his hair on our own(oops!). She said it was difficult to shape his hair nice coz we did a very bad job...haha,but anw,she said she will try her best to make him look good. I decided on a puppy cut for him, coz my mum's boss told me not to shave him. She said that he might fell cold, coz he will be bald.

There was this black miniature poodle that was there as well, waiting for his owner to come and fetch him. That boy kept whining and made the groomer abit irritated...wahahaa...but the poodle had a very funny hairstyle. His body was bald and the lower part of his head was bald. But at the top of his head,he had hair. Haha..it was such a funny sight, it's as if the poodle is putting on wig, coz he has black fur which looks like hair.

I stayed there for about another hour, and he was really a very good boy. So proud of him!!!
The only comment that they made was that he is afraid of the hair dryer~~~haha, he is afraid of it at home too. So we can classify it as PHOBIA for hair dryers.

All of you must be wondering how he look like now...haha, there's not much difference, since it's just a puppy cut, meaning they cut only about 1 inch of his hair, but he's definitely much neater now.

His under-paws hair is cut and his nails cut, ears clean, and he smells really good...in addition, he's really white now!!!Like the billabong bag that I have...haha

I took a cab back and dropped Jolly at her hse there.On my way back, there was this huge sound, dunno what happened, but it scared both me and Elmo. He jumped up in his bag, and I feel it...He was 'running' around in his bag and I could feel his fear..I had to calm him down by telling him it was nothing,blah blah, when I got a shock myself too.

Oh well, I did a multi shot of him snatching his rawhide from me, and made it into a .gif

The stupid cam is down, so I cant take videos. Please bear with this..hehe.

The last picture that I am going to post todae is taken a few days ago. He seems be promoting world peace~~~

Yawns~~~It's time I put him in his playpen and go to sleep.

That stupid cam broke down again and I cant take nice fotos!!!! Sian 1/2...
Anw,wanted to take really funny video for all of you to watch...but that stupid cam is not working...maybe I should just invest in TOTO or 4D and try to win some money to buy a new cam that is not a glutton when it comes to battery.

Anyway, muimui and Elaine posted up Elmo's pictures for me le...and he looks really sleepy!!!
Poor boy,that day gotta stay awake for so long...

Ok, let's do some calculations todae.
For the 2 weeks he's been here, I spent a BOMB!! It's comparable to the nuclear bomb that the whole world is afraid of...2 weeks and I spent about S$250 and more to come~~~My goodness, and seriously, I do not want to add in the cost of the newspapers, toilet sheets, wet tissues, kitchen towels, toilet papers and water bills in...I think I might just faint upon seeing the figures.

Well, in case you all do not understand how the list above can be linked to Elmo, please take a look at the following photo to get a clearer picture.

This was how his playpen looked when I came home. Perhaps we left him alone at home for too long and this is his way of getting back at us.

Next, his weights from 22nd Feb to 2nd Mar.
22nd Feb - 2.2kg
23rd Feb - 2.2kg
24th Feb - ~2.2kg(I forgot to take his weight todae..hehe)
25th Feb - 2.2kg
26th Feb - 2.3kg
27th Feb - 2.4kg
28th Feb - 2.5kg(What went wrong here?)
1st Mar - 2.4kg
2nd Mar - 2.4kg
Hmm, finally going to bring him for grooming tml...and the pple at the petshop was really friendly~~Hopefully their service is also good,so I do not have to switch groomers....Will post his handsome fotos tml.

Oh ya, I think this boy loves hide-n-seek. Played with him a few times todae and he seemed really happy...some of you can try it out sometime with him when you come to my house~~~haha

Not many fotos to share todae coz I was busy these few days with the test todae.
But I will replace his fotos with some philosophical stuffs.

Family would not let you down, but friends would.
Family care about you more than themselves, but friends don't.
Family will never change their love for you, but lovers and friends would.

Ever wondered why your parents always tell you to call them when you are out late?
That's becoz they are worried about you and they wanna know that you are safe.
And ever wonder why you should call them when you are staying out late?
That is to let them know that you are thinking of them no matter where you are.

Heck, I am such a sucker when I tok about these stuffs. Please pardon me...
The above are what I think and feel about my parents. I know there are many families in society that are not like that.
I am blessed to have such a happy family.
