My Dog Diary

I brought Xiao Bi out for her evening walk alone today. Certainly she had to pay her friend the routine visit before she started her walk. When we arrived at the gate, her friend just finished his bath and he was practically running towards the gate to welcome Xiao Bi. Cute fella.

Xiao Bi and I continued walking and to my surprise, the owner brought her friend out too! He said that the fella was following Xiao Bi’s trail to track her. Haha.

This time around, I was with my mobile phone. So obviously the photos are not going to be clear or nice but that’s the best that I can have now.

Xiao Bi on the left, and her friend on the right.

The two dogs played (wrestled, to be exact) with each other on the road while me and the owner exchanged some ideas about the dogs. Diet, health, supplements, a lot. It was really nice talking to another GR owner. I’ve got so many new tips to improve Xiao Bi’s diet!

And then before we realised, her friend was ‘oosshhh-oosshhh-ing’ again. Boys, boys. lol.

Xiao Bi was so tired when we greeted her friend goodbye and was lying in the middle of the road for a while before she could move herself back home. lol.

It was slightly over midnight.

The neighbour’s Chihuahua was barking non-stop. Not very fierce-type of barking but was non-stop. This little fella used to bark a lot until Xiao Bi came, whom, obviously has been barking more than her.

During normal days, they are separated by a distance of grass in between them, since the little fella seldom got herself a chance to run out of her back yard territory. They see each other everyday, but they seldom play together. Sometimes they like to ’show-off’ to another like when one of them got their dinner earlier or something like that. Yeah weird dogs, but that’s what they do. :/

Strange thing, when the Chihuahua was barking non-stop, Xiao Bi wasn’t making any noise at all. That, of course, didn’t sound very much like her. So I said to darl:

“Can you look out from the window, check and see why is the Chihuahua barking but not Bi?”

Darl looked down and sat back, without saying any word.

“What is it that she is barking at?”

“Xiao Bi lo.”

“Uh? Then where is Xiao Bi?”

“Lazing herself just right opposite the Chihuahua.”

-.-

For the record, I’ve been bringing Xiao Bi out for evening walk for, erm, I think 4 continuos days now. Instead of having my ideal morning walk, which I always failed to wake up on time, I guess it’s better than nothing if I could bring her out to know her environment in the evening.

There were of course, countless times of dragging, dragging, and dragging during the first day. Darl was with me and he was handling her so I was OK. The second day, as darl was working, I thought, well perhaps I should bring her out and see what happened, together with my mum and my little niece. It turned out pretty well. She wasn’t dragging me much and was quite under control. We all enjoyed the session.

On the third day, we passed by her new friend’s place and saw him bathing! Xiao Bi was so excited and ran to the gate. They both communicated with each other with the gate in between them. That was a nice session too. Not too much of dragging, pretty much under control.

Today is the fourth day and I thought, ahhh everything will turn out OK, since she has been picking up her walking-manners. It turned out I was wrong. I was being dragged, and knocked into bruises on my leg, before, during, and after the session!

Arrrggghhhh!!!!!

Yesterday was a significant day for Xiao Bi. She finally turns one year old! … or maybe I should say it was a significant day for me, as ever since Gobi’s departure I’ve had this phobia of… anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Xiao Bi!

So to celebrate with her (although I don’t think she realised that she is now one year old), I’ve made her a small liver brownie - her favourite.

She didn’t wanna blow her candle - or she probably didn’t know that she HAD to blow her candle. Anyway I helped her blowing off the candle and I’ve made a wish for her to stay happy and healthy forever.

And then her favourite moment. Cake eating time!

Oi! Why are you there busy-ing with the camera? Come eat my birthday cake lar!

LOL. Happy Birthday again Xiao Bi!

I was checking the date of my last post here and OMG it’s been so long… I’m starting to feel really bad about myself not updating this blog… @.@

It’s been extremely busy lately. New projects coming up at work place. New products in the pipeline for NottyPooch Design. Everything requires attention and extreme care. Everything requires time. I just wish I could have enough of time. Enough of communication. Someone please talk to me!!! (Damn it I sound so sick… @.@)

Anyway…

Xiao Bi was loosing her appetite a few days back. She skipped about 3 meals continuously - 2 breakfast and 1 dinner. I was rather worried but she seemed to be as monkey as usual. Rainbow (my cousin’s Shih-Tzu) came visiting and she was extremely happy and scared that poor fella off. Btw, Rainbow is only about 4kg! Imagine Xiao Bi sitting on her… HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Anyway, she got back her appetite last night. I guess it was just one of those time when she needed to clean her own digest system up. I so wanted to bring her out, to the beach or just to have a walk. But I guess unless someone finally says that he is FREE, I won’t get the chance anytime soon…

Anyway…

Here is she sleeping on her favourite spot in a hot evening. She somehow heard my camera ‘too-too-ing’ when focusing. I accidentally set the camera’s white balance to fluorescent (or something), hence the blue-ish effect.
