Fell off the bed

I fell off the bed last saturday night. :(

Initiall I was so happy to be able to sleep with Mommie and Daddy, because I just bathed, so is allowed on their bed. I made myself comfy and cosy and slept. The next thing I know, I got a shock falling off the bed. Very very shocked, so scary!!!

(It was 2am in the morning, all of us were asleep, suddenly we heard 2 loud thumps and realised Mocha fell off. We quickly went to take a look, she was in shock, lying on the floor-down pose, refuse to move. Think she fell and hit the bedframe then the floor. She peed on the floor in that pose. After approximately 5-10mins, she finally got up and walk, but she pooed and vomited after she stood up. We were so worried, because she was still not very responsive. I tried to take out some treats, immediately she turn around and walk towards me, tail wagging softly. Phew... At least she responded.

It seems that she curled herself under the comforter, and slept at the edge of the bed. Usually she will go back to her own bed after awhile, but this time she slept all the way, and unknowingly fell off. Thank god she is alright.)

Happy Birthday Casper!

It was Casper's birthday on 13 March, Auntie W requested for a big big birthday cake for Casper.... Taadaa!

This cake is double the size of the one I have for my birthday cake, ingredients including:

• 1 egg
• Wholemeal flour
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 4 potatos, boiled
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 600 gm of minced beef & 500 gm of minced pork (Mommie was 'inspired by IKEA's famous Swedish meatballs which uses both beef and pork)

Results:
I hope Casper, Junior, Weewee and Yuki enjoyed the cake.

Mojo and I had a share of the 'Birthday celebration' too, guess who has which cake?

The M (Mojo) & M (Mocha).

P.S: of course I got the bigger one!

New addition to the family

We have a new addition to our family yesterday.... A Chihuahua.





I was surprised when he came to my home with Auntie Cyn and Wendy, and was angry that he never left. I am quite angry that he 'invaded' into my home. I'm no longer the only dog that everyone loves. Everyone went 'Ooo and ahhh' over him.


Wawa (his temporary name) keep chasing after me, I ran away from him, growled at him. But knowing he is still a puppy, i kept my distance by staying on the sofa, out of his reach.

I cried... I refused to go to Grandma when she called for me.

Where is daddy and mommie...?


******

Mommie: Worried that Mocha will feel sad because of the addition of the new puppy, we decide to go back to check on her as well as the new puppy. Wawa seem to be a submissive dog. But Mocha do not seem to like him, she kind of tried to pounce on him a few times, but she did not bite him. I guess its a natural reaction for all dogs, she is just trying to protect her own territory. She will have to learn to get along with him living under the same roof. And hopefully as time goes by, she will soon realise that she is still our one and only, that we love the most.

Punk Head + My Birthday!

Went for grooming today, Auntie W wanted to try punk head on me again since I have so much fur to spare.

This is the 'Before' with messy hair.

And this is the 'After'....

A side view~

I was so tired after the grooming session, that I slept in the car without bothering to lie down.


***********
Remember that mommie & daddy didn't know my date of birth because the pet farm did not provide them with the info? Tracing back my vaccination card, its seems that my birthday should be 15 of January. Hence mommie decide to bake me a wolfy cake for birthday! Recipe provided by Helio's mommie~

Minced beef with mashed pototo cake.
Top layer icing is cream cheese with mashed bananas.
The word 'Mocha' is made of chopped strawberries.

M O C H A = ME

They took more than 10 photos of me and this is the best they could get, a grouchy me trying to get my paws on the cake. Happy 5 years old to me!

FYI: I did not eat the entire cake (which could last me for more than 1 week). I only got 1/5 of the cake (Letter M area), the rest were giving to Casper, Junior, Weewee and Yuki. Hope they enjoyed the cake as much as I did!

Salmon for last weekend's dinner

Mommie's been a little busy to post recently... she decided to cook me a nice dinner for the brand new year 2010. Salmon! The fish is a bit too much for me for 1 meal, hence it was split into 2 dinner.

First night: Baked Salmon


Second night: Pan fried Salmon


Desert: Low Fat Plain Yoghurt


With Wolfberries.

One more photo before I can start my dinner.


Bon Appetite!

Merry Xmas!

Merry Xmas to all!

In regards to my earlier post on 'The making of the cartooned Me', here are the pictures of the final products, guess who is who?

These nice pictures were printed onto mugs, which mommie gave to close friends only. (Limited edition!) Thank you Helio's M!

Mommie and daddy brought me to a walk on Xmas day, and I saw this weird creature sitting on the ledge downstairs, I decide to check it out by 'pouncing' on it. Mommie shouted and daddy immediately pulled me away from that creature. That creature looked quite angry that I disturb its peaceful xmas evening, it was ready to attack me:

Nah it didn't look like that, it was a grey cat.... it looked something similar to this, as angry but without the fangs.

Daddy scolded me that I "never die before" to agitate a cat, that my nose will drop off easily, if it really attacks me.

After this encounter, we continued with our walk, I think we walked for 15 mins around the neighbourhood before heading back. Mommie and daddy gave me a bath when home. And I smelt so irresistibly nice after the bath that I got to snuggle and sleep on the bed with mommie and daddy for 2 nights in a row!

I love Xmas~

Food and more food!

Mommie's here to stay for a week, its like a honeymoon period for me.... food, food and more yummy food!

Check out what I have been eating:


Saturday: Boiled Xiao Bai Cai, Stewed pork and carrots with chopped garlic


Sunday: Boiled Pork Loin, Broccoli and Carrots with chopped garlic



Monday: Pan fried minced pork and Carrots (again) with chopped garlic (never forget the garlic~)



Tuesday: Boiled Pork Balls, Broccoli (again) and Carrots (yes again) with chopped garlic (again)


Wednesday: Kibbles. (mommie went back to work and didn't have time to cook)

The making of the cartooned Me

Seeing the great work done by Helio's M, mommie asked her if she can help cartoon me as well. Helio's M graciously agreed to help, despite the tedious project that she is embarking on.

Had a few tries, 1st draft:

Hm... snout seems to be a little long, looks a bit like an English Cocker? And I'm not so slim.. needs some fattening up! .
.
.
.

2nd try, with added curls on my ears...

Ahh now it looks more like me
.
.
.
.

With added colors....

Nice!!! Looks like me, a demure side of me!

The final finishing will be a secret for now which will be revealed next time!

New Blings

I have a new name tag, the old one has tarnished and the contact information on it was no longer valid. Mommie went shopping and fell in love with this one with lots of bling bling. It supposed to be made of stainless steel so we hope it doesn't tarnish and the blings doesn't drop out. My name was electronically engraved on it. Nice?


Mommie found some older pics of me taken last year, where i was very very un-groomed for many months. She found it amusing and thought I look more like a bear (fat and furry) than a dog.

Who turned off the lights?

Sunflower Kaka~

Before I start on my latest post, just wanna update that for the first time in my life, I ate a Macdonald's ice-cream last week! Never ate ice cream before! Here are some blurred pics from Mommie's hp where I attempt to eat ice cream. They were busy making sure the ice cream doesn't melt and drip on my fur because I just bathed that day, that they couldn't take better quality photos.

(Mommie: She sniffed at the ice cream and refuse to lick it. After a few tries, she finally realised its food and start biting very small nibbles, like a lady. Not like her usual 'food gobbling' self.

Back to my latest post:

I have been a naughty girl... have been biting on one of my legs, till there was a swelled lump. Daddy brought me to see Aunty Wendy for help, she said if I continue to lick and bite, the wound might develop maggots. *Eeeek* After Daddy has bath me, Aunty Wendy applied medication on my wound and gave instructions that I cannot lick/bite my wound anymore. So Aunty Cyn gave me something to wear to stop me from biting:

What is this round thing?

Everyone find it funny on me, I tried to scratch my ears, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach them!

Mommie say I look like a butt shaking lightbulb. Although its uncomfortable, I like the attention I'm getting!

"Don-cha wish your doggy is fun like me?"

I think I looked more like a alien sunflower.... Eeeuuu... I think mommie is too bored at home.

Sea Salt Treatment

Went bathing at Doggy Salon on Monday. Casper's mommie recommended for me to try Sea Salt Treatment due to my skin problems. Natural Sea Salt was rubbed onto my entire body, I felt that I'm like a suckling pig being marinated with salt, ready for cooking. Then the salt was left on my body for 10 minutes before washing off and then proceed to the normal bath.

After bathing, Daddy (who didn't know I tried Sea Salt treatment) mentioned that the dried spots on my skin seem to have lessen, previously the bumps swelled quite obviously. Mommie told him I did the treatment, and they are going to monitor to see if this really works for my skin problems.

So what is Sea Salt?

Sea salt is harvested from seawater through evaporation. Sea salt is beneficial to the skin. Skin absorbs sea salts, vitamins and any other substances it comes into contact with. It is universally accepted that sea salts can have a wonderful effect on circulation and metabolism. It relieves itching, sleep disturbances, and skin scaling!

Ahh... it relieves sleep disturbances, no wonder I have been sleeping so soundly recently. (Mommie: You always sleep soundly and most of the time snored like a pig!)

Sneak Preview of Photoshoot

My photos are out! Mommie have finalized 5 photos of me, they are now pending with the photographer to do some digital imaging to make me even prettier.

Due to good response, Helio's M and her photographer friends are going to do it again. Sat 11 Jul slots are open for bookings, you can refer to Herbie/Helio's blog for more info.

Here are a few sneak previews some of the photos taken.

Note: How come I'm always in a basket? To be given away like a present? :P

New Portfolio photos!

Helio's mum is organising a charity drive to help a 4 year old girl, Charmaine, who has gotten cancer (her story is on http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/). She and her volunteer photographers friends will be helping doggies to take studio photos at doggy salon this coming weekend. All proceeds will be donated to Charmaine to help her seek treatment in US.

There are still slots avaliable, anyone interested pls contact Helios for more information on bookings. (www.herbiegr.blogspot.com)

I will be participating in the photoshoot to support this charity drive this weekend.

Stay tuned for the photos!

SPA Time

I went for grooming last weekend at Doggy Salon... Mommie decide to try their Dead Sea Mud Spa on me as I seem to be developing skin problems recently.... Dead Sea Mud Spa? What's that?

Dead Sea Mud Spa:

It is rich in Dead Sea Minerals, that provide a calming and relaxing experience for the dogs. The Dead Sea Mud combined with the Silica exfoliates the dog's skin and helps to naturally remove the dog's undercoat, which decreases shedding. The Eucalyptus oil helps to sooth hot spots & itching. It is perfect for dogs with skin disorders such as eczema & psoriasis. While the Aloe and Vitamin E moisturizes your dog’s skin.

After a Dead Sea Mineral Mud Scrub, the dog's hair will feel softer, and its coat look silky smooth and shiny.

Key Ingredients: Dead Sea Mud & Minerals, Eucalyptus oil, Aloe, Vitamin E, and Silica.

The mud mixture supposed to be more concentrated. My absent-minded Mommie added too much water, hence the mixture became diluted!

So do I look slimmer as it suppose to help remove my undercoat? *wink*

My present

I got a new bed bed... nice and colorful bed bed. It came with a matching green orange bone bone toy.


I love the toy so much, so much till the toy was spoil after 2 days.

Mommie tried to sew up the toy toy for me, because I pulled out the cotton inside. (note that the bone became 'out of shape' because mommie tried to close up the holes)


But 10mins after I got back the toy, I bite another hole and made a mess in the room with cotton again, so she gave up and threw away the toy.

My new bed is so spacious and comfortable. I slept in it every day...


And slept like a pig. *snores*
