Fun-Loving Fiffy.

Lunar New Year

2012-02-06T15:23:00.005+08:00

On a happier note, Happy received an ang pow from his grand aunt who had tucked it under his collar!

White Dog / Happy Boy

2012-02-06T15:16:00.004+08:00

The irresponsible owner of the white dog took its dog to Bishan Park WITHOUT keeping a close watch over it and Happy boy was injured as a result of this.
Hap's ear had a small 'hole'
His upper arm had a long scratch
Even his nose nose was not spared!

AND the owner of the white dog didnt even apologise when I showed him Happy's injuries!

Cold cold night

2012-01-11T13:08:00.004+08:00

This little one is so so afraid of the cold and I am to be blamed for shaving him COMPLETELY BALD!

He shivered and I had to put a small towel over him to keep him warm!

Oh what a night!

2011-11-02T13:56:00.002+08:00

This was what I saw one night ..........Hap covering his eyes as the reading light must be bothering him immensely!

He must have done this for quite a long period as I noticed this pose only when I was going to switch off the reading light to go to sleep. I had been reading for a while.
But he looked so comfy lying on his newly acquired bed!

Dearest FIFFY GER,

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!

Missing all your mischievious ways!

From Mummy and Happy Boy

Dae and Grey Rabbit

2011-07-21T12:43:00.001+08:00

This little naughty ger was recently boarded at Fi's Godma's home when her Mum went away for a short holiday

Looking so much like Fiffy ger!

These 2 pixs were taken for Aunt G to see if this is indeed a grey rabbit in disguise!

Look at its floppy ears! Grey rabbit was looking @ me eating in the kitchen and awaiting for some to fall onto the floor

Dogs In Mongolia

2011-06-27T13:23:00.004+08:00

This is the dogs' life in Mongolia-
out in the cold, fortunately they have thick hair.
they were rummaging through the bins to look for food.

H and H

2011-06-27T13:21:00.002+08:00

Not long ago, Happy visited Aunt V's place -lo and behold Helios was there and this was what Happy did on sighting Helios!

Helios waited patiently for him to get off the sofa. hahaha

Hap is very well and HAPPY AGAIN

2011-04-11T12:55:00.003+08:00

Couldnt resist snapping this 'resting' position of his. This is Hap's favorite sleeping position.
Hap shaved clean after he fully recovered.
This was his 1st jaunt to BP after his recovery, still full of hair. Didnt want to put more stress on him during his convalescing period.

I didnt forget.....

2011-04-05T09:59:00.003+08:00

Dearest Fiffy, that you came to planet earth 8 years ago on this day!
Your Aunty G bought this photo frame for me to put your photo in.
Enjoy your freedom wherever you are, running free and happy in the green meadows!
I was so blessed to have you come into my life!
Your are forever in my mind and heart.

Happy's recent ordeal

2011-03-28T11:30:00.016+08:00

Last Wed, Hap vomitted all his dinner as soon as he finished eating. Later on in the night, I fed him once more as he gave me that hungry look. He vomitted EVERYTHING from his 2nd dinner as well. His vomitting continued through out the entire Wednesday night / Thursday morning.
In the morning, I saw that he had gone to the newspaper as he has had diarrhea. This is most unusual of Hap as he would hold as long as he can until he is taken out for his early morning walk.
As his vomitting / diarrhea continued on Thurs, I decided to take him to a newly opened vet/hospital. He has his X rays taken as I was concerned that it could have been caused by a bone that he had on Wed night. The very young inexperienced vets couldnt find anything lodged in his system and he was sent home with an anti vomit syrup. He could not retain anything he ate or drank, including the anti vomit syrup.

Eventually he refused food / water and looked extremely miserable.
I decided the best thing to do was to have him on a drip as he had not eaten/drank water for 2 days. My sister M, checked him into the hospital on Fri morning. The vets were told that he is to be given only an anti vomit jab / half day drip as they werent able to find the cause of his continuous vomitting/diarrhea.
When I checked on him later on at the hospital, I asked that he be taken out from the 'cage' as I will keep him company during the drip. I was attended to by another young doctor who was on duty that day. I didnt like the attitude of this doctor, so full of herself and when I questioned her if an anti vomit jab had been administered onto Hap, she said that in addition to that anti vomit jab, she also gave him an anti-bio jab. Upon hearing this I gave her an earful and told her point blank she HAD NO RIGHT to give him any other jabs without mine / or my sis consent or knowledge! I couldnt help but mouthed at her, whatever went thro my head. She tried to get out of her mistake by trying to explain herself and seeing that I couldnt be appeased, quickly offered to let Hap have a private room to continue with his drip with me inside the room.
On Sat, I decided to get a 2nd opinion from another vet. I had collected his feces, urine and vomit to get all of these tested. When the 2nd vet said that he had bilirubin in his urine, he suggested a blood test to check his liver. Results showed nothing is wrong with his liver and kidneys.
I had with me the x-rays taken by the 1st vet and when the 2nd vet went thro the x-rays, he said that Hap's stomach lining seems to be thick, an indication of swelling of his stomach lining.
2nd vet suggested Hap be retained overnight on a 24 hour medicated drip which I agreed.
I do not think that Hap liked the place where he was placed on a 24 hr drip. I had specifically informed the vet that Hap doesnt like air-con / he will shiver when he holds his pee for too long. I asked that he be taken out occasionally for his pee.
Much to my dismay, the female attending vet on Sun was similar to the one I had encountered at the 1st hospital. When Hap was brought out to me on Sun, he was shivering real bad. I said I wanted to take Hap out for a pee, she 'threatened' in not so many words that if anything happened to Hap, he will have to stay on another 24 hours.
I was damn PISSED off and told her I know my dog better than she does when she told me Hap was only shivering from fear! I TOOK HIM OUT FOR A PEE and he pee-ed quite alot.
I am totally disillusioned by these type of vets who DONT take care of their patients needs! They think they are the ones who decide whats good for the patients, totally disregarding what the owners want for their pets, thinking that the owners/their pets are at their mercy! Who would know their pets better? Vets or owners?
To them, its the financial benefit they get out from their patients!
This is another animal clinic that I have struck OFF from my list, now that Hap is out from there!
*Hap didnt shiver in the 1st clinic, just that the vets were too young and inexperienced and Hap was their 'experiment".
*2nd clinic had older more experienced vets but they impose their own STRONG belief systems onto others! Even tho they are the treating vets, the ultimate decision of whats best for the pet/s lies with the owner. The pet is after all the owners not the vet's!

Freedom!

2011-03-04T12:02:00.005+08:00

Yesterday evening, Happy was the one and only dog at Bishan Park. And what did he 'happily' do?
He went from each and every tree / each and every pole to pee at them. He was extremely happy he could do this without any other canines disturbing him. Very often, other canines will either sniff or lick his male private part when he is amongst them so imagine his freedom to do as he wants!

Hap's most eventful Sunday

2011-02-28T10:23:00.016+08:00

Happy's Sunday morning started with his former owner Mum L / Uncle C coming over to play / see him. Mummy L got this for him.
In the late afternoon I took him to Bishan Park. On our way into the park, we spotted this huge very friendly fella.
Happy wasnt afraid / he suddenly looked so small, next to Scooby Doo.
At about 9pm, Happy gave me the "look" that said he needed to go out for a poop. Off we went around the neighbourhood. He sighted a dog and as usual was pulling his leash as he wanted to sniff the dog. As it was rather dark, he didnt see that he was at the edge of a deep drain. Plonked he fell into the drain. As I was going to rescue him out of the drain, he gave me a very terrified look in his eyes and I felt so sorry for him. He got away scott free from any scolding from me.
He sustained a rather deep cut on his left upper arm. ....

some abrasions on his under belly........
I know he was in pain as it showed on his face. I cleaned his wound and applied lavender oil on his cut / abrasions. And he was so 'manja' after this fall that he went to my bed to sleep with me, something that he never liked. He has ALWAYS slept on his own bed.

Happy, the watch-dog

2011-02-21T10:30:00.001+08:00

Happy's new career started when I put his his treats in the dehydrator. He sat behind it as soon as I put the dehydrator on.

Thinking that his presence wasnt noticed, he moved closer to the dehydrator and sat next to it.

He kept watch over his treats when I was leaving the house.

And he slept like this the entire afternoon!

Happy's umbrella

2011-01-31T13:29:00.001+08:00

Thanks to the recent incessant rain, I got to use this BRAND NEW HAPPY UMBRELLA this morning.

Bought this recently when Hap and I attended a charity lunch held early this month. Had it not been for J/J's shopperholic HC, who alerted me to this sale, I wouldnt have known this HAPPY UMBRELLA was on sale at the event!

So useful to have a BIG BROLLY for such heavy rains!

The Giant and The Dwarf

2011-01-28T10:20:00.007+08:00

This is the little dwarf with..............
very small but VERY sharp teeth.............
taking a piggy back ride on the GIANT'S back.............( look at the "un"-happy face )
the dwarf seems to be enjoying himself while the Giant was wriggling to free himself off the burden on his back.
Both of them with their curious faces looking at ???????

Till we meet again Mushka-ka

2011-01-26T12:54:00.000+08:00

Mushka on his last day of stay with Happy / me.

Happy 'whispering' his good bye speech to dear Mushka and gave

Mushka a nose to nose sniff / kiss before he was sent back home.

Isnt he a cutie-pie. Everyone who saw / met him could'nt resist either patting or carrying him, exclaiming his cuteness!

The tiny one

2011-01-12T10:04:00.000+08:00

This tiny one has been staying with Happy since last month. Cute but extremely playful. Took him a day and a half to adjust to his new environment. Wonder how he will fare when he returns home at the end of this month.

Looking so innocent but wait until he sinks his wicked teeth into your finger! He's forever in a chewing mood, not with toys but with human fingers!

Trying to stand tall as he sights other bigger dogs inside the dog run.

Disliking his leash and trying to get out of the leash. Quite a clever little thing.

Charity lunch on 09Jan 2011

2011-01-11T15:07:00.007+08:00

Happy had the privilege of attending a charity lunch at Klapsons Hotel recently. Attendees were given a goody bag. ...........Hap peeping into his goody bag!

Lunch wasnt just for humans, they had prepared lunch for the furry ones as well. Hap licking his lips in anticipation, waiting to hear the word 'ok'.

He lost no time in gobbling up his lunch in the doggie bowl provided by J/J's HC.

All those furry ones(BJ/Hap/J and J) pictured below had a whale of a time, all 1st timers to a lunch at a hotel.

Mushka, the tiny maltese

2010-12-27T14:34:00.002+08:00

Meet Mushka, the male maltese, 3months young! Hap met this tiny one for the very 1st time on Xmas day. Here, he's looking down at him. Mushka was naturally excited upon seeing another dog at his house. Altho Mushka was a little scared, Mushka made attempts to get to know Hap better.

Hap wasnt too pleased that he had to be in a down position in order that little Mushka can smell / play with him. After a while, Hap walked away from Mushka and did his own thing.

The Grey Rabbit

2010-12-20T14:54:00.006+08:00

Look at Happy with his hands tucked under his chin sleeping so soundly
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......................happiiiiilllly
Look at his body
He looks just like a HUGE grey rabbit with his floppy ears!
Oh Oh.................my dear grey rabbit is FFF...AAA...TTT!

Dae's safe distance

2010-11-29T12:59:00.005+08:00

Dae photographed here with her late sista's photo that is displayed near where her 'ashes' are.
Dae tired out with playing frisbee in the garden
Dae, remembering her sista's home / Dae / Hap keeping a safe distance from each other whenever they are together at Godma M's home

Sundae Girl

2010-11-29T12:56:00.002+08:00

Sundae's parent went out of town recently and she was left in the care of Fi's Godma M. During her stay there, Hap and i visited her.

Godma M, took Dae / her dog Pepper, to meet Hap/I at Katong Park.

It rained so heavily on that day we met to Katong Park, we had to take shelter and waited until the rain stopped and than Sundae had to play 'dirty' at Katong Park.

Sundae would sometimes struggle with Aunty M on their walks together / fortunately I found Fi's favourite red harness for Sundae to use for her walks with Aunty M.

Sundae also came to to Fi's home to play in the garden with Hap/Pepper. Here she is either sniffing at her 'old' scent or perhaps at the male scent(Happy's).

Happy's encounter

2010-10-05T10:11:00.001+08:00

Who is this with big floppy ears? Happy was initially nervous when he 1st sighted this caged rabbit and laid down splayed on the floor, mouthing some sounds and eventually let out a bark.

He then inched nearer and nearer to the rabbit.

Nearer and nearer

to smell this new 'pet'

finally sticking his mouth into the rabbit cage!

The Happy Then and The Happy now

2010-09-29T14:49:00.001+08:00

This was how Happy looked like, close to almost 2 years ago. Looked a little girly!

This is the NOW Happy Boy. So much neater and more masculine looking.

The former Happy.

The NOW Happy with lighter coloured hair. Nope, I didnt dye his hair, it naturally became the colour it is now.

I can see how he has 'blossomed' from a dog who didnt dare or know or allowed to climb stairs/ ride the lifts / didnt know how to do so many things to one that now runs up and down the stairs, sometimes leaping off two steps at one go. Dogs are not stupid, their owners who dont bother to train or 'stimulate' their brains are the stupid ones!

On a cold night

2010-09-08T13:28:00.002+08:00

Hap was fidgety, trying to find how he can find a best position to sleep. Realising that he could be feeling cold as I have shaved him bald, I decided to put a thin cover over him.....

Think he feels better / warmer with the cover,

In less than 5 minutes, he must have gone to dreamland as I wasnt able to see his face anymore! In the middle of the night, he must have moved around and lost the cover over him, so he jumped over to my bed and snuggled up with me. That was the 1st time he had done that as he prefers to sleep alone, undisturbed. I have tested this by sleeping on his bed with him, he will 'tolerate' my presence for a while, after which he will move away and hop on to my empty bed.

A forgotten place

2010-09-06T11:15:00.002+08:00

Last Sat evening, I took Happy to a place full of greenery, most people who go there are joggers, very few dogs/owners, best of all...........no poo2 left on the ground! This is the former Bidadari burial ground along Upper Serangoon Road.

Happy met this fella who is just as playful as Happy is.

My constant male companion occupying the front passenger seat!

And this was taken this morning! Reason? Yesterday I carried him yesterday and injured my back. Just have to find out his current weight, and it is OMG!

Remembering.................

2010-09-02T09:55:00.000+08:00

the little sumsenger ger who had brought so much joy and laughter into our family with her most sumsenger ways! Today is her 2nd death anniversary, gone but NEVER forgotten. She lives on in my heart. Bless her soul and her onward journey to be whoever/whatever she so chooses to be. We will meet again Fiffy ger.

Happy's toy

2010-07-27T11:52:00.000+08:00

Strangely, Happy DOESNT like balls. However he likes this toy alot!!!

He doesnt like the smaller sized cylindrical cardboard core. It has to be this size

And he would put his mouth into it!

Or hold it and run around with it! He's such a good boy, so low maintenance as well. Lucky me!

Raining days are here to stay?

2010-07-20T13:14:00.000+08:00

This is UNHAPPY Happy boy!

He didnt like wearing this 'raincoat' when going out for his walks in the rain.

But I think he looks kinda cute in his blue raincoat!

At K9 Culture

2010-07-12T13:15:00.000+08:00

These 3some REFUSED to look at the camera when their HC/I took them to K9 culture recently!

This is "UNHAPPY" Happy turning away from the camera

MISTER UNHAPPY BOY

They were all looking at the direction where THEIR FOOD is ; that's WHY!

OMG

2010-04-12T14:43:00.002+08:00

I saw Happy looking like this and I just had to find out.....

how heavy he weighs......

eeerrrrr.......he didnt look too pleased sitting on the weighing scale

in fact he looks so miserable, perhaps he knows he will get less treats from now on??

Happy Birthday

2010-04-05T10:41:00.000+08:00

Today is Sundae / Fiffy's birthday.
Happy Happy Birthday Sundae from AngelFiffy / her Mum.

Peekaboo

2010-03-24T12:18:00.003+08:00

Happy peeping at what I was doing in the kitchen.

He got braver and stuck his head out further

Half body out, looking suspicious

Full view with ears flapped outwards. And why was he hiding?? Prior to these pictures, I had shaved him. He had been co-operative and decided to go to the kitchen to get him a treat.

Remembering..........

2010-03-15T10:22:00.000+08:00

my cutey pie!

Pepper / Happy

Happi-ly waiting for FOOD

2009-12-09T10:34:00.002+08:00

Happy watching Grandma eat her breakfast.

still watching and hoping..............

no offer of food???

that's it, Grandma has walked away into the kitchen without giving Happy any food!

The 3 female molesters

2009-10-30T15:23:00.006+08:00

These 3some are always molesting me whenever they visit. I am forced to take a photo with them for keepsake...sigh!!
Will they ever let me go???
Despite my unhappy face, they will still continue to molest my entire body cos I never retaliate
And they cant even call my name properly.........I am Happy Boy, not Arpy Boy!!!!!!!!

My Dearest Angel Ger

2009-09-02T12:06:00.000+08:00

Today marks the 1st year that Fiffy Ger has left planet earth to be with the other Angels in Heaven. At 7.15am this morning, I lit up candles at home in memory of her.

When I was out in the garden this morning playing with Happy Boy, something strange happened!!! It was like a sign from up above that all is well with Angel Fiffy Ger.

Out in our open garden above open skies, I felt something dropped onto my head................it felt like a rain drop! But there wasnt any rain!

A bird had flown past and had dropped something onto my head! I went in to tell my Mum and she said......"how strange... its like its timed to land on your head!" I then asked if she remembers that TODAY is Fi's 1st death anniversary! She too agreed that it was a well timed message meant for me.

Fi, as always, U are so very mischievous in 'delivering' your messages to me. Memories of our times playing / going out together are very ALIVE in my heart!!!

Dae's revenge!

2009-08-31T12:10:00.002+08:00

and this is what Fi's sister Sundae has to say/give to the CARE-LESS dog owner/s who had deprived her of spending much more time with her beloved sister Fi.

2nd September 2009

2009-08-31T12:01:00.004+08:00

Come 2nd Sept 09, is Fi's 1st death anniversay.

The past year succeeding her death had been fraught with alot of pain / grief on losing my most precious gem. There was lot of anger / UNFORGIVENESS towards the CARE-LESS dog owner, their F- attitude towards the whole tragedy, the lies they spewed via their lawyer to my lawyer etc. Although they claim themselves to be dog-lovers, I really doubt so, considering how they 'treated' the whole tragedy.........what they displayed was nothing more than just their F-guilt which they tried so hard to defend! I definitely do not respect their attitude / behaviour. Life is just like a circle and whatever goes around comes around too. I can only hope that they are in their own way repentant for causing the death of my precious dog / I leave this with the GREATER FORCE to deal with such people! Its only through losing one's most beloved ones that we begin to 'feel' for others in the same plight and I can only hope that they do not have to learn this the VERY HARD way!

I know my Fi is always with me in spirit and is pleased that I have chosen 'forgiveness' over 'punishment'. It had been an extremely difficult year for me but through all the difficulties I had many 'awakenings' / messages from Fi that pulled me through it all.

It had also been a year where Fi's canine relatives passed on too. There was Lucy and Angel, dogs of Fi's Aunt SC in Melbourne / Bambi, dog of Fi's grandaunt.

Fi's Godpa, Uncle Milk2 has also left planet earth. I believe that when one leaves here, one begins a new life in another dimension. Whenever Fi was at Godpa's place, Godpa would ask Fi, 'U want milk2?" and she would follow him so2 closely, hence his nickname.

There are so2 many fond memories of Fi / her Godpa / her canine relatives.

I hope all our human relatives / canine relatives have gotten together and having a great BIG party over on the other side!!!!!!!

Happy's 1st visit to a restaurant

2009-08-21T12:17:00.000+08:00

Last night, Happy, my niece and I went out with Aunt Ja to celebrate her forthcoming birthday.

Happy was so2 well behaved and sat on the chair, NOT even begging for food!

He only LOOKED with his greedy eyes!

Towards the end of the dinner, we allowed him to sit up and he did only when allowed to.

For those dog lovers who want a sumptuous inexpensive seafood dinner with your furry one, go to House of Seafood at 180 Yo Chu Kang Road. I had sms the owner prior to my visit and he was so kind as to allow Happy to be with us. Please call to inform them of your intention so that they can set a table away from the crowd. The nbr is 62827180 / 90019000, look for Francis.

U can be sure that i will be going back for more of their delicious food with Happy Boy!

Happy and Sky

2009-08-03T13:51:00.004+08:00

Happy has been going to Bishan Park pretty often these days as he is currently staying with me

This is his 'regular' playmate called Sky, they dont stop playing when they see each other.

And they love hugging each other!

Happy Training Days

2009-07-27T14:34:00.003+08:00

Happy is being 'obedient' trained / he is attending training every Sunday. Since going to 'school', he has improved and isnt barking so much at other dogs. He is still easily 'excited' when he sights / scents the presence of other dogs.

Perhaps he wasnt given the chance to interact so often / much with other dogs in the past.

Happy, quite calm with other dogs who are in his class.

Happy enjoying himself with his agility training / ooo, its so nice to see him so happy playing!

Happily, crossing the bars during his training!

The IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS

2009-07-24T12:40:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, I took Happy to Bishan Park in the evening. All dogs were playing and running around until ONE TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE couple walked in with their dog pictured here. The moment their dog entered the 2nd gate, it bared its teeth to all the dogs who were around him.
The most unbelievable REACTION was that the couple DID NOTHING to remove their dog. They stood like 2 stone statues looking at their dog baring its teeth, ready to snap at any nearby dog.
Immediately I held onto Happy's collar, who was near the aggressive dog and I quickly and lightly tapped the aggressive dog at its neck to snap him out of its aggression, else the other 3 or 4 small nearby dogs may have been attacked.
Whats more shocking was that I was reprimanded for 'having touched' their dog, instead of mine who was an innocent bystander??? This statement in itself, reflected the extreme stupidity of the irresponsible dog owners whose dog would have attacked any nearby innocent dogs that were within its reach.

Instead of being responsible enough to stop a potential dog fight, the couple went on to accuse Happy of 'touching'(provoking) their dog, something that Happy NEVER did. I completely ignored their accusations / and all the shit that they spouted from their mouths as they headed out of the park with their dog.

Minutes later, the totally DISSATISFIED IRRESPONSIBLE couple, made their way back to the park, but this time, stood outside the fence with their dog, announcing to everyone LOUDLY / to those who bothered to listen to her, that I had no reason whatsoever to touch their dog etc. I just turned a deaf ear to illiterate dog owners!!!!!!!!!

It wasnt the dog's fault at all. They may love their dog / even accept its aggresssive behaviour but there were other dog owners present with their dogs whom they love just as much and their dogs' lives are at risk when such irresponsible dog owners take such dogs into the park UNSUPERVISED.

Some years back, dogs could only be admitted into this park, after undergoing a temperament test. It was a much safer place then for all the dogs, unlike now.

If the couple has any BRAINS / GOOD COMMON SENSE, they would realise that in any fights, be it between dogs / humans, the 1st thing to do is to ward off / block off the attacker from its intended victim.

Doggies Love

2009-07-21T12:32:00.000+08:00

We feel a tremendous love for our dogs and our dogs sure seem yo love us. But is a dog really capable of emotions? Or are we just projecting our feelings onto our dog?

Scientists avoid the subject because part of what sets humans apart from the animals is our ability to experience feeling. To say that animals actually have feelings, in the same way we do, would change everything-perhaps disrupt our entire position and standing in the animal kingdom.

However, any dog owner knows that dogs love completely and have a greater capacity for love than most people. If one were to describe the main characteristics of a dog, they would be have to be:
1) Strong affection
2) warm attachment
3) unselfish loyalty and benevolent concern for others.

Probably why the author of "Dogs never lie about love", Jeffrey Moussaieff masson writes, 'Dogs are Love". So there isnt a question of whether dogs love, they mystery is how they have such an enormous capapcity for it. Dogs who are neglected or abused still show love for their humans and wag their tails in hope of a little affection.

Dogs taken from abusive situations hold no grudges towards the human race. A half an ounce of kindness from a new person results in an abundance of affection from the formerly mistreated dog. Humans rarely have the capacity to so completely forgive and love under those circumstances.

Probabaly the biggest reason the dog has become man's best friend is because we know that when it comes to love, a dog can always outdo us. The highest form of love, AGAPE LOVE, which is completely UNCONDITIONAL, is something people ofthe have to work at or grow into. To love someone regardless of what wrongs they hae done you is very difficult for humans.

A dog, however, is born with an endless capacity for AGAPE LOVE, and doesnt even have to work at it. You can be a complete grouch, ignore your dog and refuse him your love. When U decide u are ready to be sociable again, your dog doesnt pay U back by ignoring U too. He's just happy your are there. More amazing still is that the love that dogs and owners feel for each other lasts a lifetime. This is the ideal love humans strive for but often fail at.

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson so beautifully writes in "Dogs Never Lie about Love" Learning to know somebody is often the beginnings of dislikes, sometimes even of contempt. Among humans, love often does not survive a growing aquaintance, but in a dog, love seems to grow with aquaintance, to get stronger, deeper. Even fully aquainted with all our weaknesses, our treachery, our un-kindness, the dog seems to love strongly and this love is returned by most dog-loving humans. We, too seem to love our dogs more the more we get to know them. the bond grows between us and our dogs.

This is why we need dogs, they do something for us that rarely a human companion can do. No matter how much U mess up your life, or how much wrong U do, no matter how many mistakes U make or how often u make them, regardless of yoru looks, income or social standing, YOUR DOG NEVER JUDGES U. He always thinks U ARE WONDERUFL AND LOVES U WITH ALL HIS HEART!

This is a calender hung on my room wall which says " In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog" I wish for that too for all the canines / stray animals throughout the world wherever they may be! And I hope this perfect world will materialise SOOON!

I saw this wall calender when i was in Adelaide some months back and just had to get it!!!

On this one, it says " Dogs are made of Love and Fur". Only true dog lovers can vouch for this!

Happy Boy

2009-07-15T13:28:00.002+08:00

This is how Happy Boy (formerly known as Pepper boy) looked like when he 1st arrived at Fi's Godma M's home late last year.
Hes so FULL OF HAIR.

This is current CLEAN CUT Happy Boy, all hair trimmed! I like him this way! Nope, it wasnt my idea to have him so neat... he had some rashes / spots on his body and GodMa M shaved him clean so that he can be treated.

O, hes so spoilt by his Mum / me!

Happy is undergoing obedience training every Sun evening. Other than his barking at other dogs, hes pretty well behaved, non destructive, non aggressive, non demanding and very mild mannered.

Hes pretty much a Happy boy! And I hope hes happy to find his forever home!

Happy Boy / Pepper Ger

2009-06-30T14:28:00.000+08:00

These are dogs of Fi's Godma M.

Happy's former owners were migrating to NZ and as Happy failed the blood test, he had to be left behind. Upon hearing the fate of Happy, Godma M, quickly agreed to look after him, else he would have to be sent to SPCA. What a lucky boy!
Happy went to Godma M's home a month after Fi's death. He is now 3 years old. A happy go lucky fella, not a well socialised dog, gets very excited / anxious / barky whenever he sights other dogs. Having looked after him for some weeks, I realised that his bark is his way of initiating play with his canine friends. Quite different from other dogs.

Last Sun, Godma M, took him for his 1st lesson in obedience training, and altho he was barky initially, he did calm down, while other dogs were running riot and were uncontrollable. Godma M was so proud that he was the best behaved dog among the lot!

I am so happy he is a member of our family!

My Most Beautiful Angel

2009-05-19T10:59:00.013+08:00

it has been more than 8 months since my fiffy-ger left to doggie paradise. There had been many 'knowings' / messages that came forth during that 'difficult' period for Fi's entire human family members / her GodMa M and myself.

There were many dreams of Fiffy-Ger. Some of her being mischievous / some sad / some 'enlightening' ones on her 'sudden' death.

Physical death = eternal life. I am comforted knowing that she is safe with GOD.

Someone said that our dogs dont stay with us for so long cos they dont have issues like we do.

Some of U may know / not know how Alfie came into my life. I personally would not have gone to a pet shop to buy a dog. I prefer to adopt one and thats what I did. It wasnt that her former owners didnt love her, they loved her lots. Unknown to them / me, they had somehow "selected" her for me. Fiffy, as she is affectionately called, came into my life through some unusual circumstances.

I saw/knew/played with Fi when she was a puppy. Twice or thrice weekly, we would go for walks around her neighbourhood, Bishan Park etc. Prior to my formally adopting her in Feb 2004, she would stay over with me every Thursday in my former home.

Her former owners had named her Alfie as their own names start with the alphabet "A" . I didnt change her name upon adopting her. Her boyish name was so suitable for her as she was such a gangsta ger, totally unafraid and so very courageous, game for anything and everything! She thoroughly enjoyed her Search / Rescue training so so much and I enjoyed watching her 'in action'. Its a pity/sad, her young life(050403-020908) ended so suddenly due to another dog owner's GROSS CARE-LESS-NESS and MERE ARROGANCE, with TOTAL DISREGARD of our laws. My small young bitch is even much more intelligent than that two legged brain-dead BITCH! All animals are far more intelligent than we ever give them credit for. Ask any animal lover this!

Many 'unknown' things happen in our lives for which we can never comprehend / forsee and Fi's entry into my life is one of such. We had such great fun together, went almost everywhere together. I would boycott those people / places that didnt accept / respect /snubbed her presence. She was a very big part of my life and everything that I did revolved around her well being / happiness!

To My Most Precious Gem, Fiffy,

U are my greatest HERO in my life. Thank U for all the happiness / laughter U brought into my life. These are the unforgettable times in my life. Your love is so unconditional, so forgiving, so ungrudging. You are the little one with the biggest heart I have ever known! A heart like a mountain! You were so full of love and life and U are so so so alive filled with so so so much love in my heart!

Dogs' Love

2009-05-05T10:25:00.007+08:00

I met this dog when I visited the Melba Chocolate factory in Adelaide. She was tied up with a long string. This is how she greeted me when I went up to her, so FULL of LOVE and just kissed and kissed me, a total stranger to her. And I just opened myself to receiving her love.

I saw these little ones in a pet shop in Melbourne. They are called Spoodles. They are as cute as their name is. I was so drawn to the little black one and I silently wish that it will go to an extremely loving home. See how it was looking at me. Would have loved to carry/cuddle it.

This is WaWa(chinese name meaning Doll), a mixed Pom. She is 7 years old and belongs to a close friend of mine. She is so loved by her Mum and her immediate neighbour who has even made an opening between their wooden fence so that WaWa can go to either homes to play. What a life!

WaWa kissing me non stop when I carried her. Dogs just give their uncondtional love to any one, asking for nothing in return. They live in the moment / they know when they are loved.

The Handsome Boy

2009-04-17T10:14:00.003+08:00

This is a picture of Bambi taken 2 years ago when my cuzzie, R, came back to see him/her family in 2007. He was born in Dec 1996.

***230409........this is a sad piece of news for me. Just received an email that Bambi left for the rainbow bridge this morning..

Bambi Boy

2009-04-17T10:10:00.000+08:00

Fi's canine relative, Bambi has been diagnosed with skin cancer recently. He underwent an operation in Feb this year to remove a large sized lump on the left side of his mouth.

There are more 'growths' appearing in his tiny body now.

He seems listless / tired after meals.

This is a sad time for all his human pack.

U are such a brave boy Bambi, despite your health condition, U are still wagging your tail whenever I visit .

Your human pack loves U alot!

See Ya again frisbee ger

2009-04-02T15:51:00.002+08:00

When I left for work on Mon morning, I heard Dae bark, howl,whine as I walked towards the car. I was rather sad I had to leave her alone. I called home a couple of times to check if her howling, barking, whining had stopped.

I got home early to play frisbee / walk her.

At night, her parents came to pick her up. I was happy that she would not be alone as I had to leave for work very early the next day, sad that she was leaving me.

Stay well and happy frisbee ger, U were great company

Dae posing with a photo of her late sister, Fi.

Fi's home is your home as well Dae, just come by anytime. I look forward to dae-sit you again.

Day 3 of Sundae's visit

2009-04-02T14:54:00.012+08:00

On Sun 290309, I took Sundae to meet some friends. She wasnt put in her crate like she would normally be. She jumped up into the backseat and as i drove, she just looked out of the window.

Still looking out of the window from the rear of the car.

She surprised me by behaving so very well in the car, she either sat down or peeped out of the window.

Sundae was treated to ice cream by Joey's Mum, Aunty G.

Sundae waiting patiently as we watched the on going on stage.

We had gone to see Joey do a 'live' Search and Rescue demo organised in junction with SCDF

Sundae / Joey / Pepper (Fiffy's regular companion and dog of Fi's Godma, Aunt M)

Happy Dae in the garden everyday, either checking garden out or playing frisbee.

Dae with her 'tulang' given to her by Fi's Godma. Her exclaimation upon seeing Sundae for the very 1st time....."Oh, they look so alike".

Day 2 of Sundae's visit

2009-04-02T13:56:00.012+08:00

On Sat 280309, Sundae woke me up at 5+am, putting herself between my bolster and I. She gave me the eager, 'take me out for a walk' look. I am an early riser and used to take Fiffy out for her hour long walk from 530am.
When Sundae stayed over the 1st time, I had taken her for such walks and perhaps she remembered.
Its still dark and after half hour walk, I took her to the park that Fi used to go to on our walk home.

Sundae at the kid's slide wondering what the noises are....dogs were barking and joggers were around

Sundae, unsure and checking out the surroundings.

Dae still looking around in the dark.

when we got home, she headed straight to my Mum's balcony as she must have smelled her breakfast.

In the late afternoon, she heard the little one and came down to keep her company.

This is Snoopy, who lives a stone's throw away. He is a frequent visitor to our gardern and Fi used to play daily with him.

Sundae intiate play with Snoopy when he came by.
They played for a while in the garden, without any aggression shown towards each other.

Too tired from the day's activities, Sundae rested on neighbour's sofa while we watched telly.

Day 1 of Sundae's visit

2009-03-30T15:26:00.006+08:00

Last Fri evening, Sundae's grandma 'delivered' her to me. As soon as she got out of her crate, I threw her, her frisbee to distract her. We played for an hour in the garden and she hadnt noticed that her Grandma had left quietly and just followed me.

When we got upstairs, I gave her dinner comprising raw chicken gizzard / her small bottle of blended raw carrots and a tiny egg. She just loved the raw food!

Later on, I gave her a home dehydrated meat piece.....raw beef mixed with blended pumpkin and raw egg.....she couldnt wait for the 'ok' signal......

She gobbled the dehydrated meat piece in no time.....

With a full stomach, she fell asleep on the big cushion as I watched telly!

Sundae, The Frisbee Girl

2009-03-30T11:01:00.001+08:00

When I was asked if I could dog-sit Sundae last weekend, I immediately said YES and prepared for her arrival, buying carrots/raw beef/quail eggs/deer tendon.
I even saved these last 2 tarts for her / I had 3 left and when I put one in my mouth and remembered that Sundae was coming, I kept these 2 for her.

Alfie was very fond of them and I guess Sundae would too.

More about what WE did in my next blog.

For the deserving trio

2009-03-26T12:00:00.008+08:00

As Alfie's Mum, I am pained by some thoughtless people/incidents, following her death. While there were many2 truly caring friends/family members who stood by me, sometimes silently, there were others who saw her as just a dog and therefore totally insignificant. This best express what I think of those whose true colours finally emerged out of her death deserve! This is for the shitty tongue twisting mouthed person /his shitty shoddy work whose only sole interest was what he could pocket from her death!!

And this is for that vile slimy snake of a couple who spewed nothing but a whole lot of shitty smelly lies from their mouths / hearts!

Only the brave will dare speak the truth and face the consequences of their actions, while cowards cower in fear scheming all kind of lies to avoid what they FEAR i.e. paying the high price for their own stupidity!

But can these people truly be at peace in their hearts / in their sleep??? Or are they so hardened at the core, numbed to the pain of others, without any conscience guiding them??

2009-03-25T14:28:00.000+08:00

Fi's clothes, 3 from USA, the rainbow coloured sun dress was her 1st dress which I have kept. Blue cutesy dress with a head piece was a birthday gift from her boyfriend Joey and Mum Auntyy G.

Fi's GrandMa sewed these for her. I recall the 1st time Fi surprised me with the skirt that her GrandMa had secretly sewn for her. I had returned home from work and was at the gate / Fi ran straight to the gate wearing the newly sewn skirt which was a little too long for her. I burst out laughing cos she was made to wear it above her waist, close to her front paws. She looked so funny but that didnt seem to bother her. If only humans can be as easy going, live in the moment like our canine friends!

Lucky JRT

2009-03-23T13:53:00.004+08:00

I saw this JRT with its owner on a Sunday morning in SFO when I was there. JRT was very friendly and well behaved / sat waiting for its owner in the mild cold weather.

Couldnt help myself / just had to pet her.

Alot of people abandon their JRTs/dogs saying that they are uncontrollable/too hyperactive etc. This is untrue. Owners just blame their dogs for all their misbehaviour. All dogs become frustrated when cooped up for long periods at home, when they are not walked/well exercised. Owners should ask themselves if its them / their laziness at fault instead of just seeking the easy way out by abandoning their pets.

Some rare pictures of Fiffy Ger

2009-03-20T10:45:00.002+08:00

Fi's Aunty R, from USA bought these clothes for her

These clothes have stayed within the family and have been passed on to her canine relatives, Bear2 / Tiger, both female Chihuahuas.

This was Fi's party dress, worn once at Chinese New Year.

I like her in this cos she looked so dainty

Amazing Sisters

2009-03-19T12:59:00.001+08:00

It amazes me when I look at both their photos and notice how they behave/express in similar fashion.

Both just as cute as the other!

the two sisters

2009-03-17T14:46:00.002+08:00

Can anyone differentiate which one is Sundae / Fiffy???

Both of them look so alike, are so similar in behaviour, so mischievious, so greedy and so very sumseng! And are so verrry cute.

Sundae at Fiffy's home

2009-03-03T14:27:00.001+08:00

We, our little angel at home and I had the pleasure of Sundae's company last weekend.

This little angel was looking after Sundae during her stay with us.

Sundae dae-dreaming in bed, wondering what to do??

Little angel watching over Sundae.

O, this is Sundae but she looks so much like her sister, Fiffy Ger.

this is Sundae's right profile

and this is Fiffy's right profile

Guess who this one is??? Yeah, its Sundae

and this is late Fiffy!! these 2 canine sisters are so very much alike in face/personality. And they are so uniquely sumseng!!!

beautiful sunday

2009-02-25T13:53:00.003+08:00

anyone looking at these photos would think that its Fiffy ger, but nope they arent.

Fi's beautiful sister, Sundae came to my place last Sunday evening and played non stop with her frisbee.

She is a striking resemblance of Fi, except that the patch on their eyes are on the opposite side of each other.

And she is as sumseng as Fi!!!!!!! I think it runs in the family!

Dae2 as she is affectionately called will be staying with me this Fri until Sun. I am so looking forward to playing with her / sharing my bed with her.
She even took Fi's toys from a basket and played with Fi's favourite ball.

Young Fiffy

2008-11-04T12:25:00.000+08:00

this was fiffy ger when she was a few months old / such a baby-looking face.

No she doesnt have the spots seen on this picture. Fi's aunt V got this pix re-done so that I can blog a young pix of her.

a message from this butterfly??

2008-10-23T15:43:00.001+08:00

i had read somewhere that when our beloved pet passes on and has safely crossed over to Doggie Paradise, a butterfly will make its appearance to let the owner know of its safe cross-over.

This butterfly made an appearance on my car door on the morning of the 2nd day of Fiffy-Ger's death.

And this same butterfly flew onto my tissue-box cover on the morning of the 7th day of Fi's death. My aunt had interpreted it as Fi asking me to stop crying over her innocent death. Perhaps that could be true too as Fi must have been as heart-broken as I am, seeing her Mum cry rather endlessly....which child wouldnt be??

Fi 'delivered' many messages to Godma M and myself, following her death. I will blog these at a later date.

thanks Aunty G / J+J

2008-10-13T13:17:00.003+08:00

This came to me this morning on my way to work.

Thanks G/J+J, for letting Fi visit her boyfriend's home, for riding with him / his brother to Blooie's. I can vividly remember the 3 happy fellas running down together from your home to the car.

I am truly glad that she did that before she passed on.

my prize possession

2008-10-07T13:40:00.005+08:00

not many people know this but some years ago, when I had just adopted Fiffy Ger, her Godma M and I took her to attend some dog events organised by her trainer and Fiffy Ger won a brand new TV set for me, which now sits proudly in her Godma's home.

Her Godma M, and I are so proud of her!

" There is a time for every thing and a season for every activity under heaven

a time to be born and a time to die

a time to plant and a time to uproot

a time to kill and a time to heal

a time to tear down and a time to build

a time to weep and a time to laugh

a time to mourn and a time to dance

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them

a time to embrace and a to time to refrain

a time to search and a time to give up

a time to keep and a time to throw away

a time to tear and a time to mend

a time to be silent and a time to speak

a time to love and a time to hate

a time for war and a time for peace."

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras

the beauty of a JRT is in its soul....expressed in its own unique character. For Fiffy, she was so very2 'sum-seng' in such an endearing way that makes me laugh instead of getting angry with her. She has brought so much laughter into my / my family's life. Even on our walks together, strangers will look at her and tell me she's so cute/happy/ lively! Yes, she was so FULL of life and love for everyone she meets, its hard not to notice her PRESENCE!
Her 'sum-seng' ways makes everyone who sees her thinks she is a male JRT. And I wouldnt want anything differently. Its that, that makes her unique. Everyone dog is different in their own special way that only their owners know and appreciate.

My precious Fiffy in her 'working" outfit.

Her 'sharp' nose.

Fiffy with her boyfriend Joey, both volunteer SaR dogs with SCDF.

Last Sat, 20 Sep 08, we ( Aunty J, Little A and I) took a drive to her favourite playground to meet an SCDF officer and to leave some of her ashes there It was extremely sad time for me. At one point, I just squatted and broke down, knowing that Fiffy-Ger and I will not be going there together anymore.

Fiffy Ger, U might be small but U are such a Lion Hearted Ger. We all miss U very much!

Fiffy "played" hard for this reward, a ball sewn inside this tiger, her fav toy!!!!

this was fiffy-ger's favourite playground every Sat morning since Mar 2006.

In memory of Fiffy Ger

2008-09-09T12:39:00.013+08:00

from her special friends Joey and Jack / Scuba / Tommy / Huskee / Helios :

"They say memories are golden
Well maybe thats true
I never wanted memories
I only wanted YOU
A million times I needed you
A million times I have cried
If love only caould save U
You'd never have died
In life I loved U dearly
In death I love U still
In my heart U hold a place
No one could ever fill
If love could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane
I'd walk the apth to heaven
And bring U back again
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
And as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again

From Aunty S / Helios 'Deepest condolences. My heart goes out to U. It hurts terribly now but time does heal. Soon U will be able to think of Alfie and the good times together without the tears. Take care.

From Uncle M, Aunty W/ Tommy " Please take care, we will all miss Alfie. I am sure she'll be alright with Lord, Take care.

From Aunty S/Huskee " So sorry to hear about Alfie... I know she means alot to U. Our sincere condolences in this time of grief.

From Aunt V / Scuba " I am so sorry that Alfie died. I know she meant a lot to U and I am going to miss her too. Alfie I will miss U.

from Aunty G /Joey and Jack " No words can explain our sadness....take care.

From SCDF
Hi S, Really sorry and sad about the loss of Alfie....You are right to say that Alfie's spirit will always live with us. We have learned a lot from you and Alfie. In the past, we were quick to fail dogs which didnt have much play drive which is a pre-requisite for USAR dog training.
Honestly, Alfie didnt impress me when I first saw her. She wasnt focus and tend to lose interest in her toy. But you perserved and somehow managed to find a toy (rubber ball with sound and noise) that Alfie was so crazy over. As a dog trainer, this experience really opened up my eyes. I was quick to fail new dogs in the past, now I am more patient and willing to give aspiring USAR dog owners a second chance. I never fail to relate Alfie's example to the new dog owners when their dogs failed to impress during the 1st temperament assessment. I will then encourage the dog owners to continue to work on their dogs with new toys and they may one day, find a toy that their dogs are crazy about.
Lastly, I would like to say a Big "Thank you" for your support for the volunteer program over the last 2 years. G and yourself have attended our training consistently while many others have dropped out of the program. You have been very appreciative and considerate.
Take care and God's comfort be with you during this difficult time.

From Alfie's Mum: Alfie commenced SaR training with SCDF 11 Mar 2006 / underwent her SaR test at SCDF grounds on 22 Mar 2008 / informed that she had passed on 5 April 2008 and was subsequently given the little "rescue' vest. Pix was taken by Joey's Mum.

Alfie left behind many beloved human family members/her beloved Aunty J/canine relatives, Jimmy/Bambi / Pepper/Tiger and Bear2, who will miss her sum-seng ways / canine sister, Sundae http://sundaejrt.blogspot.com/, canine boyfriend http://joeyjrt.blogspot.com / canine fellow SCDF rottweiller friend, Bear2 and Bruno, http://bigbrownbearbear.blogspot.com, former canine neighbours http://billiejeandog.blogspot.com/; canine friend, Benny http://bennyxobile.blogspot.com/

Hi....i'm sorry for what happened. Although we don't keep in touch often, I know how important Alfie and you mean to each other.

Dear S, We share your sadness and no word can put across to calm your emotional. Let just remember all the fun and the fond memory that Alfie gave us ..... May god bless the lovely Alfie..... Alfies Uncle kt

Dear Aunty,
I cannot even hope to imagine the kind of sadness the loss of Alfie must be. But Life will go on. Always be consoled that you gave Alfie the best five years of her life, and at the end of the day, she went away in your arms, and having a short, but eventful and happy life.
She must be enjoying herself with Toffee, Angel I, Tanic, Angel II and all the other dogs that have gone to heaven already. And I am sure, she must be boasting to them that no other dog could find a more loving mummy than she did.
To say cheer up would be hypocritical, but I know you can hold your head up high, touch your heart, and say you gave fifi the best, always. So take heart in that. Know that in the short span of time, you gave a truly blessed life to a very special dog.
Luv, Alfies Kor2, Alywin

I am saddened by the news of your dear beloved Alfie. Although i have not met him, i feel i know him already thru you.
May she rest in peace and now she lives on in your heart. She will forever be your Angel. Know that she is with you in spirit even if she is no longer in the body.
Please take the time and space to grief for such a deep love and connection.
with love, holding you in support and may the tears heal you in this painful loss. /AF, USA

Hi S...Heard from L about Alfie's tragedy. We know how you feel at this moment and pray that time will heal .... Here's what Alfie wants you to know.....
So sorrowfully endowed
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain
And understanding earthly actsWill only be in vain
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic that willOnce more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner till the end.
Please, understand just what this giftYou're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,For I believe it, too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To grant me this appeal.Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,Forever here, within your heart,And memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,Your ever-faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,... a young dog once againIt is
From your Grateful Alfie............ God bless, Anita & Kenny

Anyway, do drop me a line and tell me how you're getting on, if it is not too hard to do....from EChan, Melbourne 051108

By Alfie's Mum:
Alfie born 050403, affectionately known as Fi-ee / Fiffy Ger passed away on 020908 at 0715hours in my arms.
Her death was caused by a 'care-less' dog owner who had NOT LEASHED NOR MUZZLED her German Shepherd in a public place, where Fiffy was attacked.
Fiffy Ger was cremated on 13 Sep at 530pm.

well wishers said: Dear S,We both were really very distressed to learn untimely demise of ur pet Alfie due to careless handling dog bite.That lady should have relly kept her ferocious animal under leash.Alfie was really docile ,obedient,disciplined & luving pet.We pray for her peace & may God give you courage to bear the tragic loss.That's the God's will.Nini uncle & aunty, India

Hi,S,Opened my email this morning n read that your pet had passed away. So sorry to hear that. I didn't realise it was so serious because Kathleen did mention to us when you couldn't make it to the recent gathering that your pet was hurt n you had to take him to the vet. I know how you fell right now. Just take it easy n keep yourself busy. Take care of yourself n hope we'll meet soon again. Best rgds. Flo

Hi S, I'm very sorry to hear that Fifi did not make it after the ordeal. I know u are in shock and feeling sad - let know if i can help in any way. Are u going to press charges on the other dog's owner? Tried calling you yesterday afternoon till night but u were unreacheable. I tried call M, thinking that u might be with her. J, your AMK neighbour called to ask how u r doing as well. She too seem very stressed out as well (she claims it's work related) and i can hear her breaking down. Take care. Alfies AuntyVik

Sorry to hear that your dog has just died. I thought it would survive the operation itunderwent. Take care.. JH

Dear S, I am really so sad and sorry to learn of poor Fatty's death. Words cannot adequately express my feelings or ease your pain. . I also understand how you must feel as I had felt when my dog died of diabetes at the vet and I was not at his side.
I cant say I blame the bigger dog. It is the handler at fault. All I can say is that the woman is SO STUPIDand IRRESPONSIBLE!! She has violated the law in not leashing the dog and ought to be punished before a similar accident happens to another dog or person. And No brains to walk a dog when she is pregnant. / B

Hello SK What an unfortunate and unexpected incident, the poor dog . How life can be so unpredictably. I can imagine how horrible it must be to witness how the small dog was bitten and the pain . Too painful for me to imagine it as well. I too would be traumatised if I was there to witness the incident. Hope all is well. Love Alfie's Aunty Choo2

....i'm sorry for what happened. Although we don't keep in touch often, I know how important Alfie and you mean to each other. This is going to be a very painful period for you I know....but like everyone would say....life goes on and if Alfie's watching....she wouldn't want you to be so sad. It's not going to be easy and things are going to change....but I hope with time, you'll heal soon. Let me know if you need any help at all. Take care, love / Alfie's Aunty Est.

what a horrible thing to happen. poor alfie. im so sorry she had to suffer like that. you know whats very odd....i just remembered that last night i had a dream about you.....you were calling to alfie to come to you and she ran up to you and started jumping up and licking your face. that was it. and then i get that msg from you this morning....strange huh? so whats going to happen with the other dog? you want to take action? Alfie's Cheh2 Fab, UK

mum just informed me of Alfie's passing and I am deeply saddened by the news. I cried silently as mum was relating what she saw this morning...she was in tears...i had to mask my emotions so that she'll be strong. Aflie was a very special dog and we know she was a sweet companion. May she rest in peace and may you find comfort in your heart with all the happy memories of your life together. Be strong / Alfie's Aunty R, USA, http://rutheroo.blogspot.com/

S - can't reach you. Sorry abt Elfie. I don't know what to say but I know how you feel as I'm feeling it too esp when I knew Elfie. Anything I can do for you? / Weni's Mum

I was so sad when I heard about Alfie and even more so, when I saw your sms this morning.The only consolation is that she would not suffer any more. We all love her as she was such a bubbly, friendly and lovable dog. Please dont be too sad, just think that she has gone to a better place. Have you told the pregnant woman what had happened? Alfie's Aunty Immy

Last Sat, my Mum / Aunty J treated me to an outing at Sembawang Park. Wah, I was so very excited as I have not visited that place for a very long time . Here's Aunty looking for directions on where to take me to.

Look at my constant companion, my shadow!

I was even allowed to drive my Mum's car!

What's life without food???
The greatest pleasure in my life!
This is my privileged life! I have EVERYTHING in life and I cant complain.

life's good!

2008-08-07T10:03:00.001+08:00

Yeah........pixs taken by Aunty J when I was sleeping on my Mum!

Aunty J says I am a spoiled brat.........spoiled by her / my mum / my god-ma!

And I am such a lucky lady.........eer....my Mum doesnt think I behave like a lady!

I spy

2008-08-06T12:27:00.001+08:00

after breakfast, I looked around and guess what I saw??

I was a littl embarrassed to see a little boy enjoying his shower.

and a boy at the fish pond.........wonder why his pants are off??

and my eyes were almost half closed after an hour of watching the world go by at this park!

Bottle Tree Park

2008-08-06T12:22:00.003+08:00

Last Sun morning, Mum / Aunty J decided to take me to Bottle Tree Park for breakfast with them.

Aunty J and me at the lily pond.

O, me looking at whats for breakfast, wondering who I should beg food from.

And I got something to eat from my Mum. Yeah!

2008-07-02T13:19:00.001+08:00

the angry me .....when i was called a HE

my Mum turned me over to prove that I am a SHE not a HE.

And finally, feeling so humiliated I ran away to hide myself!

i am my mums best friend

2008-07-02T13:09:00.003+08:00

my mum's feeling a little down today and decided to post some of my pixs to look at! O I wish I have a magic wand at home.

molested

2008-03-24T11:31:00.004+08:00

she finally got it right after molesting my entire body trying to figure out where my starry collar should be.

I can excuse her if she's blind but she aint so I cant excuse her for doing whats shes done!

I hope someone helps me report this molestation to SPCA.

See I even showed her how unhappy I am with her!

Prior to this act, she tried to sell me off like a pig!

what star???

2008-03-24T11:24:00.003+08:00

my mum hand-made this 'starry' collar for me telling me that I am her 'star'. Instead of treating me like one, she made a mockery out of me by doing the following:

put this near my tail.........hey this isnt where my neck is. Silly mum!

this isnt my neck either!

and silly mum, this is whats called a torso. even i know better than her!

this is SHE / ssssshhhhhhh

2008-03-20T11:08:00.001+08:00

i have this lovely Godma who spoils me rotten and I can get away with any and everything with her. SSSSHHHH its a private matter between us..........my Mum isnt around so I jumped at the chance to ask her for something2. Will blog when promise delivered. Have to end here now....quickly quickly before I get caught red-handed by my Mum.
ssshhhhhhhhhhh not to word about this to anyone!

HELP ME SPCA

2008-03-17T13:53:00.000+08:00

Someone please report this to SPCA!!!!!!!! I am being sold off like a pig. Here I am being weighed for my worth of meat.......
I tried to bite the seller but it doesnt work! I am still held captive / at the mercy of the seller.

I should have sunk my teeth deeper into the hands of this mean seller!

Wait till SPCA hears of this story!
