The hateful collar and new playmate!

I have been scratching for the past few months and even bite my tail till it bled. The vet suggest that we do an trial and error to see whether it's the food that's causing the allergy. Right now I'm having Barf but in combi..so for now I can only take 1 type of meat in oder to get to the root of the problem. My situation is quite bad as I can scratch the whole night. So mummy put me on and off the collar once I start my scratching frenzy. I totally hate it!

Trying to act pitiful so that the cone can be removed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mummy bought this toy and many others from Petflys. It is made from natural organic cotton. It's a crochet cupcake and she even bought a donut,an ice cream,a mouse and 2 monekys from them. Mummy is now so worried about those chemicals found in my toys and she is even thinking of stoppping all my rawhide chews. Now my chews are all natural stuff. But she has not yet get over the mental barrier of the bully stick therefore I'm not getting them at the moment. But I'm ok with it, now my chewies consist of either lamb ears,beef tripe or ribs. I am a happy dog :) New toy destroyed in 5mins

Everyday when mummy and daddy leaves for work, they will out me at Ah-ma's house. Though there is always someone home to look after and accompany me, I would sometimes wish for a 4-legged friend to run around with me. After 1 year,my wish came true! Bailey is here to stay! She is a Shi-Tzu,3 years old and is a beautiful white and grey color. She belongs to 2nd uncle's wife and they are here to live with Ah-ma and Ah-gong so I have a permanant playmate when I go for my day care :D This is Bailey Hey Bailey,wanna play "catch"?Waiting for her parents to come back

happy day!

02/02/10 Tuesday

Mummy's off today ans surprisingly she got up at 7.30am and brought me for a morning walk in the park :) A 1st time for her off days as we normally walk in the evening. This morning walk will never happen with Daddy.

It was a nice walk,we saw people doing tai-chi,such a healthy lifestyle. The park is next to the lake so we had a nice view as well. As I'm not a regular walker, we walk for 1/2 hour and went home to rest. And guess what's next? Mummy brought me to K9 to meet Michelle yi-yi :D There was a Westie when we arrived and we had fun running around, of cos I got barky again :( Then 2 CHH came and another Westie. It was great fun! The regualra were there too, Polly or Molly, a schnauzer, a cocker and a GR. But they were not allowed in the cafe by their owners.

Sydney is here for boarding! Or not.

Sydney's parents are going for a short trip and since mummy is on leave, she offered to help look after Sydney. Oh boy, what fun we'll have running around all day. But change of plans last min and Sydney is going home after her 1st night here. But nevertheless, we had such great fun :) Slept at 2am and woke up at 7am...such fun. Come to stay someday again! Till our next kopi outing again...

baaaack!!!!

Nika: I'm baaaaaaack!! After AWOL for duno how many decades, I'm finally back to update my paw friends on my life. The past few months have been so busy for me and also I'm too lazy. But if I were to tell you what have been happening the past few months, I will take 2 whole days so I'll just post some important + happy days in my life *woof woof*

Hi 5!
Mummy got inspired by Dodo & Momo when she saw they doing hi-5s. So you can guess,that's what I learnt as well. She's still thinking of new tricks to teach but I think her brain juices are dried up. So far I know sit, stay, hi-5,wait. But all this are subjected to environment changes. You can't expect me to sit and stay when I see my friends around right :) Anyway, mummy says I borned to be pampered *LOL* so no need so many tricks...just enjoy my life :D

I hate swimming!
Mummy thought that all doggies love to swim,but not me. I hate it! Maybe because I'm scared of the water. They tried to carry me and hold on to me while I paddle but i just refused to swim. When mummy tried to lower me into the water, I behaved like a cat, no kidding. I clinged on to her and the lower she go, the higher I climbed. Daddy swear that if mummy tries to go any lower, I will be sitting on her head real soon. So they tried to trick me into going into the water. They ran and make me chase them and into the water they went. And luckily I had on very good tyres, they stopped just before I even reached the waves :D So they can't trick me into the water :) And although most dogs are free to run around in Sentosa, I have to be on leash all the time. Reason? I won't respond to them once I'm outside as I'm too excited and I'll run away and they'll never catch me. So the only places that I can be off leash are pet cafes.

Don't think by buying me a new vest I will swim with u.

Christmas day!
Merry X"mas. Dun say it's too late cos there are 12 days of christmas :D I had grilled chicken thigh and some grilled beef cooked medium rare *yumyum* Needless to say, I finished the 1st round and went on to round 2 of my meal :)

Excessive loss of blood!! *horrors*

Well it happened during my spay. Dr Ng called mummy to say that I lost quite a lot of blood compared to the normal op but not to worry as they have stopped the bleeding. I have to be on drip and fur on my legs are shaved. 1st they inserted the drip into my left leg but being the stubborn me *giggles* how can I let you poke me without giving up a fight. So I chewed and pulled on the drip and they have no choice but to remove it. And they tried my right leg. he same thing happened and they give up. No drip :D BUT to prevent me from biting and licking te wound, they put "The Cone of Shame" on me!! I absolutely Hate it with a capital H. And so I pushed and pushed the cone away from my head. I want to get my head out of that trumpet. In the midst of trying to remove it myself, my paw got stucked in between. >.<>

Note: "Cone of Shame" credit go to movie "UP"My shaved left leg Both sides of my shaved legs Pressure bandage to be removed when I reached home

Porridge day @ Tiong Bahru

Met up with Sydney for porridge breakfast (for the humans that is). Saltee & Vinnie supposed to meet us as well but they can't make it in the end. It was such a tiring day. We had porridge at Tiong Bahru (compliments of Sydney's grandparents), proceed to have dessert @ Robertson Quay and then to Vivo for grooming. Slept like a log on the way home.

Porridge time! See? Sydney KO @ Robertson Quay liao. The humans throw us for grooming while they went shopping I KO-ed on the way home. Too tired to care about sleeping position.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a seperate note, mummy & daddy went to watch F1 leaving me at home :(

And as usual they got the best tix, Pit Straight Sky Suite and just opposite the Ferrari's garage. I love ya Kimi :p *lick lick*

botanic gardens

Nika: Met Sydney for breakfast and walk in botanic gardens. It was such a hot day but we enjoyed walking around.

Need less to say, I KO-ed on the way home. Xiaobai is so sweet,hug me to sleep. I can sleep any style I want once we reach home :D

Impromptu meeting at Holland V

Nika: Daddy & mummy decided to bring me to Holland V for a walk on Friday night. So she asked along Sydney,DoMo and Cobi. It's just an impromptu meet up and it's my 1st time seeing them (other then Sydney). Among the 4 dachshunds, Dodo is the eldest followed by Momo. But Momo is the smallest size among us :) They are all so well behaved and quiet. Not like me, keep on barking and wanting to play. Maybe I really do need lessons. As usual there was a lot of butt sniffing once we saw each other. After the gathering ended and we're on the way to the carpark, I kept chasing after Sydney and still want to play more. So mummy carried me over to sniff and kiss her good night. And I did a very naughty thing which caused mummy to "shoot" and slap my mouth :( I bit Sydney's ear and she screamed. I'm very sorry Sydney...I promised not to play so rough again. Luckily she is alright. *Bad notti me*

Hey Sydney,you're looking the wrong way. They're coming from the other direction.Standby for attack!Momo!Ok,all gather for treatsSydney: I'm shy..stop taking my picNika: Wow Dodo, u've got a long elegant neck :)Dodo: Always wipe your mouth after ice cream :D
