My Dog Diary

We didn’t make it to the beach last Sunday due to darl’s old injury on his knee. So despite my packed and tight schedule, we decided to make a trip this Sunday evening. It rained a little when we were about to leave and I thought we had to postpone again this time. But it stopped after a while. Weird weather nowadays. :/

We stopped by Bobby’s place to see if they would like to join. Bobby’s owner agreed and we all headed to the beach in darl’s car, and I had to squeeze myself with two huge dogs at the back seat. lol.

Upon arriving at the beach, the dogs couldn’t resist to sniff around, as usual. We were greeted by a black beach dog, who, couldn’t resist barking at us, in his case. Xiao Bi didn’t bother too much, and walked towards the beach. Bobby on the other hand, was a bit erm… ‘reserved’.

Darl brought Xiao Bi down into the water after walking around. Bobby refused to go and just keep himself on the beach!

The handsome Bobby.

And meanwhile, the black dog was still barking, barking, and barking…

And here is Bobby refusing to go near the water. I think it was probably because it’s his first time to this beach and after so long since he went to his regular beach, so he was kinda not used to the whole idea.

While Xiao Bi on the other hand, had a great time swimming and running along the beach. Darl said Xiao Bi was actually whining when she was swimming but she still, wanted to swim.

Bobby went greeting Xiao Bi back. lol. That’s the nearest that he would go to the water. A wave came and he just ran away!

It rained again after like a good 30 minutes of fun time, and off we had to leave. Next time, Bobby.

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.

As of today, I’m really proud to say that I’ve been able to bring Xiao Bi out for her normally evening, sometimes morning walk for a continuous 2-3 weeks!

I believe I wouldn’t be able to do it for so long, if it wasn’t because of Xiao Bi’s friend, Bobby, and his friendly master. Xiao Bi has never been so happy before and I really can see that she is looking forward everyday for her walking time to have a little play time with Bobby. And really, Bobby’s master has been very supportive and always allow them to play for a really long time. Sometimes they just wrestled on the road for a good 45 minutes to an hour! And that’s the time we had chit chats on their diet, exercise, behaviour, etc.. It’s so fun to have someone accompanying the normally boring walk and have knowledge and info exchange at the same time!

Looking at the very steady Bobby always makes me more confident in trainng the forever rebellious Xiao Bi. I’m making her some homemade treats these few days, and I hope that will assist me in my journey to ‘conquer’ her! >.<
