I'm turning 4!

I'm turning 4 years old this coming Sunday, but mommie and daddy will be going Bangkok for holiday this weekend. I wonder what presents they will bring back to me this time? I hope there will be lots of food and toys for me!

Anyone else want to celebrate birthday with me?

Happy Birthday to Ju Ju!

Today is Junior's birthday... her mommies have booked a holiday chalet to celebrate. She turned 3 this year (i think?) With a lot of dogs running around, humans playing mahjong and lots of bbq food! Sounds yummy and fun.

Enjoy your birthday Junior!

No updates?

There have been feedback that I have been lazy for not updating my blog on a regular basis.

Okok, few weeks back Mommie and Daddy went Korea for holidays for a week, so I went to daddy's brother's place to stay as well as, to guard their house (Mommie: As if! You are just too noisy till you scares people away). During my stay, other than being a noisy guard dog, I threw in additional service to monitor if they are eating healthily.

One of the day, I saw Ruven (Daddy's little nephew who's 6yrs old this year) eating deep fried chicken. (KFC). Knowing its not very healthy food, I volunteered myself to help Ruven finish his chicken. This happened too quickly that they did not have time to take photos.
(Mommie: This is not the first time Mocha snatches food from the kids, especially from Ruven when she stays with them... she tend to bully people when we are not around... sigh!)

Ruven loves me so much till he kept asking Daddy when am I going to their place to stay again. Maybe he enjoys my food consultation servies? Hehe... But the adults are not happy because I damaged their wooden door when I tried to get out from the kitchen by scratching ferociously on the door. :(

Anyway Mommie and Daddy is back and I'm very happy to be home. No new photos taken, but just in case you all forgot how I looked like... here is a combined old photos of myself which Mommie previously complied for their PC wallpaper. Mommie and Daddy are too shy to show their faces, so I have artistically covered their faces. You can click on the photo to enlarge to see more clearly.

Birthday Photos

Mommie finally have some time to post my photos today, 3rd day after Chinese New Year. She said I'm a good girl during visits as I went to the newspaper and did not anyhow pee at her relatives' place. I get to perform and entertained them with my famous "Roll over" trick (of course I get treats as my reward).

Anyway... here are some of the pictures taken on how they 'tortured' me before letting me eat my birthday cakes and treats!

Strawberry cake, muffin and meatball!!!

This looks good...

Smells good...

Photo shot 1 - *blink*

Photo shot 2 - *when can i eat?*

Photo shot 3 - *grouchy/hungry look*

Mommie finally gave the long awaited command "OK!", and I rushed to the food and dunked my head into the bowl.

Photo shot 4 - *strawberry cream lip gloss*

Photo shot 5 - *slurp!*

I'm already looking forward to my next birthday.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Happy Birthday to me!

I'm 21 yrs old (human years) as of yesterday (1st Feb)!!! They say I should be getting a KEY since its my 21st birthday, but I'm not sure why.

I had a belated 3 yr old birthday mini party today... as I didn't send out party invitations for my party celebration (wanted to give them a surprise), my paw friends, Casper, Junior, Wee wee and Yuki did not know its my birthday and they were at home today.

We bought strawberry cakes, muffins and meatballs for all of us, but since they are not here, I celebrated with the humans and they 'da bao' (packed) the rest of the party food back for the Casper & gang at home to eat.

Had some photos taken, but mommie do not have time to upload them here, she will try to upload as soon as she has time. Be patient guys!

Punk Hair

I went grooming recently because of my long fur getting untidy, and I have a lot of tangles on my fur again. They had a hard time removing all the tangles and Casper's mommie did a good job grooming me, I look so neat and ladylike:

But during the final finishing of trimming my fur, my mommie jokingly suggested doing something funny to my hair on my head:

And they decide to keep it this way and even put hair spray on that chunk of hair to keep it standing! How come humans just love to do funny things to their dogs?

Early Christmas Gift

I have been staying over at my mommie's place for the past 1 week. She has a nice Christmas tree in her house. It is her favourite time time of the year, and the tree was her favourite tree. Its 32 days to Christmas, I thought I shoud leave something below the Christmas tree... but from her expression I think she didn't like my early gift~

(Mocha left me something below my Christmas tree this morning... as early as 7.15am, have drawn a picture of her gift)

In case the picture is too small for viewing... here is an zoomed in photo:

Ho Ho Ho!!!

***************

Jolly Christmas to all!

Double image?

There is a dog currently boarding at the Doggy Salon for 2 weeks, she is a ACS (just like me), she is buff in color (just like me!), and she is cute (just like me!!).

Her name is Roxy.

Other than being so 'alike' with me, Roxy is bigger than me (I'm the one that is undersized) and she has a more feminine look (according to my mommie, I have a mischievous look, not ladylike), with very nice curls and long eye lash! So mommie and daddy went "Oooo... Ahhh... So cute!!!" over her! Hmph...

Roxy is recuperating from a wound on her hind paw, Casper's mommie found maggots crawling out of her paw on the first day of boarding. They immediately notify her owner and helped brought her to a vet. Luckily under good care, her leg swelling has gone down and the wound is recovering well.

The vet has shaved off the hind paw, so that they can put the medication and keep the wound clean.

I hope Roxy can recover well soon and be happy (just like me!).

In loving memory...

Dear Herbie, you have always been a part of our family, part of our life, our companion... Everyone who meet you loves you.

You will be always in our hearts and we miss you...
Goodbye dear friend...

My latest LOOK

After exactly 5months since I was 'bared', I have my grooming today evening at Casper's Mommies new grooming shop.

Here are the pictures of my 'Before' and 'After' look. I'm still working hard in growing longer hair at the sides of my body (not sure why it doesn't grow long, any suggestions to help me on this?)

"Before grooming" Take 1 (front view)

"Before grooming" Take 2 (side view)

"After grooming" Take 1 (front view)

"After grooming" Take 2 (side view)

Am I pretty pretty now?
There were also some other dogs who went grooming like me today.

Yuki was very cool, she kept still throughout the whole grooming session (unlike me who keep fidgeting around.) Yuki could even sleep when she's standing, while she's being groomed!





Best of all.... I'm getting famous, I'm 'featured' in the name card of the shop. Isn't that cool!


The official opening will be this coming Sat 22 Sept'07, of course I will take more pictures to update everyone. If anyone wants to meet me for some pawtographs, feel free to come down, I will be there! :P (The Doggy Salon, 52 Jalan Jurong Kechil).

Curly Updates!

Its been quite awhile since my last post... and here is some updates of my 'fur growing' process. We were in the car waiting for Daddy, so Mommie started taking photos of me with her mobile phone.

From the photos you can see that most of my fur has grown by quite a bit... I'm going to keep them long as Casper's Mommie #2 (she has 2 mommies), who has learnt grooming skills, is gonna give me a Fool Grooming session (she meant FULL Grooming)

once I have long long coat of hair!

******

Must keep Curly hair to live up to my name: Mocha the Curly!

More Curly Curly Curls!

Lookalike?

Few days back, my mommie was at a petshop and she saw a puppy that made her went 'Awwwwwh....'. Reason being puppy looked like me and reminded her when I was young and innocent... awwwwhh....

Pictures of the cute puppy:

Pictures of cute ME:

*Don't I look serious in the 2nd pic? Can't rememeber the reason for that look.*

These photos were taken when I'm 2-3 mths old... mommie didn't get to take a lot of photos when I'm a puppy (as in 1-2 mths old) . A lot were only taken after I'm 4-5 mths onwards, which is no longer babyish.. missed those days!

Updates on my fur: its growing well.. the curls on my ears are coming back, I think I will need to take another 2 mths in order for my nice nice fur to grow back totally. Meanwhile I'm still enjoying sleeping on daddy's bed every night!

Bared!

I have never felt like this before... feels lighter, cleaner, less smelly and best of all, I'm allowed up the bed everyday... ANY DAY ANY TIME.

On the contrary.... I look ugly... very ugly!

*The following pictures is not suitable for those with ailing hearts.*

Due to having 'severe' tangles and matts on my fur... mommie and daddy have come to a final & decision... "she must go..." ... opps typo... i mean "her hair must go"

So they requested Casper's mom to shave off my hair... and go BALD.

Other than the ugliness of it, looking like an old woman and not able to really look like a cocker spaniel... I quite enjoyed being hairless for now.

The thought of being able to sleep in daddy's mum makes me happy! (^^)

Mommie bought this little fur toy dog last month because she feels it looked like me... I guess she will have to wait longer before I can really look like that!

I love Tomato

I have a new friend, his name is Mr Tomato. Mommie ordered him from US and now he is my favouriate playmate.. although I always bite him too hard.

It seems that my bed is getting old and small for me, hence mommie went to buy materials and made a new bed for me. The bed has Moo Moo Cow prints and yellow is a very sunny color that brightens up my room (my daddy's room).

Here is a video of me playing (erm i mean Biting) with Mr Tomato:

Chinese New Year?

Remember the goodies that mommie and daddy brought back from Bangkok?

Remember this Kimono.....? Something terrible has happened....

I can't fit into the Kimono anymore!!! Too Fat!!!

Mommie is determined that I have to wear this during CNY. In order to fit into it, I have to go on diet.... lesser kibbles, lesser treats.... *bleah*

My Belated Birthday Post

Yes! I'm finally 2!

Mommie had office function on my birthday 02-Feb, so she didn't celebrate with me, so only daddy sang birthday song to me: *Happy birthday to Mocha~~*

The next day, daddy and mommie went to buy treats/birthday gifts for me:

*********************************************************
Mommie prepared my Birthday Feast... main dish is macaroni with minced pork and vegetables... (Daddy thinks that the macaroni look like worms on camera, erm... well its the taste that is more important right?)

*********************************************************

And I was made to pose in front of the camera before I'm allowed to eat...

(look at me with the big watery eyes...)

*********************************************************

(hey... when can I eat?)

*********************************************************

Next is dessert, plain yogurt with strawberry and dried cranberries:

*********************************************************

The next day... I had a bone bone for lunch... and although its a small bone bone, but it took me 2+ hrs to finish eating it. Daddy and mommie nearly fell asleep waiting for me to finish it...

Happy Day!

Xmas Photos

Due to the festive season, mommie did not have time to download the Xmas photos until today:

This Xmas, I found another greenish Scrooge look alike.... Casper...















Some pictures of Auntie WeeWee enjoying her Xmas...














And of course pictures of myself.
















*****************************************************

Bah Humbug?!

Its Christmas time!

In order to add on to the festive mood, mommie has altered a Xmas hat for me...
However I don't like wearing accessories, so instead of looking more 'Xmas-ly', my photos turned out looking like a Scrooge...





















































Merry Xmas and have a Woofy New Year!

My official birthday: 02 February 2005

Finally, after 1 year of doubt, I have an official birth date. Not that my mommie daddy finally found out which exact day I was born… just that they think I should have an official day.

Its because last week Herbie’s M asked about my birth date, and mommie went ‘Erm...’
I must thank Herbie’s M for this (and of course Herbie too)!

They went investigate some of the history information on my 'birth card' and gave an estimated official date for me.

I can finally celebrate my birthday. I’m already planning for my birthday party (if there is one),

a) Big cake (that is taller than me)
b) Edible sugar confetti
c) Beef and Chicken flavor edible balloons

Here is a sketch of it:
