My Dog Diary

Xiao Bi received an invitation last week. An invitation from her boy-friend, Bobby’s owner. He invited her to spend some time with Bobby in his garden, so they could wrestle and play off leash!

This is so so so so so cool! I’ve always been dreaming about Xiao Bi being able to play with Bobby (or other dogs) off leash. Since she likes Bobby, they could just be the next perfect couple.

We dropped by yesterday evening but I forgot to bring along the camera. The dogs were certainly happy with the arrangement that they kept running in and out of the house. Bobby was leading and Xiao Bi was following most of the time.

Since today is a public holiday, I brought Xiao Bi out again in the evening and went to Bobby’s place. This time around, I snapped a few photos with my camera phone.

The one standing is Xiao Bi and the other is Bobby. See how loving they can be.

They couldn’t stop pretending to drink and play with the water.

And here is a little video clip of them. Not very clear since it was recorded with my camera phone.

We are planning for a trip to the beach some time at the end of the week. We’ve also invited Bobby. It would certainly be great if they could go together.

I have been thinking a lot about Gobi lately. Gobi was my first GR, and she was Xiao Bi’s sister. Different batch with different dad, but same mum.

She was a legendary dog. She was very friendly, and every single neighbour loved her. She behaved so well that you never had to worry about her. She didn’t whine or cry even on the first night she joined us. She made no nonsense when she was left alone in our new house. She never bit a single slipper. She exercised twice with the old Snow White and Snow White, although barking, just loved her. She was just, the perfect dog.

The thing is, she died when she was about 6 months old, out of a sudden and unknown disease. Vomit, extremely high fever, ‘tarik‘. I still remember the night she was so sick and it was raining so heavily. I was accompanying her in the living room, hoping that she would recover. She still wanted to play and was still friendly enough to wag her tail when she saw anyone. It was such a pain.

It’s about 1.5 years since she left, and I could still remember the way she wagged her tail and ran to me. I could have posted some of her photos here as a proof of her beauty but I still couldn’t bear the pain seeing her photos.

I hope she is now all well in dog heaven. I miss you.

I have been having this thought for a while. You know, when I see the way Xiao Bi is loving her life. Being able to spend time with dogs in daily life is really a gift from heaven. I’ve told myself that I would want a dog that can live in the same room with me when I own a place for myself. You just can’t imagine how much they will teach you along the way. And it’s all straight forward. Loving life to the fullest.

And then I was working day and night when darl was away for a few days. I’ve got this, that I would like to dedicate to the dogs in the world. Made On Earth. This is where we belong to.

I’m loving the pink version so much that I’m keeping for myself. I would like to declare that I’m made on earth.

Life has been busy… and sick. So many things to do, so little body energy to handle. Sigh.

I’m working on making my own mold for the jewelry. There are some limitations but I love it. I just need to get myself away more to inhale lesser smell from the mold that makes me sick. @.@

Anyway, just a quick update. Xiao Bi has been improving bit by bit (as usual). And work wise, two of our t-shirts are flying to Hong Kong next week! I hope the new owner will love them.

I’ll try to post up some photos of Xiao Bi some time soon. Haven’t been snapping pretty photos of hers. She just isn’t a cooperative model. lol.

Darl has been complaining that I haven’t been following the Cesar Millan’s way to walk Xiao Bi for the past few days. He said I was too soft in terms of controlling her. Hello! She is huge for me ok… -.-

Anyway, I went walking Xiao Bi this evening myself. I walked her the way I want her to listen to me, and I think it went pretty well. She sat instantly when we met a small dog on the way back and I asked her to sit. She didn’t struggle to go to the dog. She followed when I walked, and she stopped when I stopped. Although yes at times she tried to sniff further than I allowed but she came back immediately once I pulled the leash. No struggling and pulling from her. It could just be one of the best walks that I’ve had with her so far.

Before we returned, I practiced with her in front of the house, walking round and round, again and again. She followed with no question asked. When I turned, she turned. When I stopped, she stopped. It was just so perfect!

I wouldn’t say that she is not 100% rehabilitated, but I would give a score of, say, 70%-80%. She is just so extra sweet now, that I believe very soon she will no longer be referred as my forever-rebellious GR.
