Singapore Hotdogs 3rd Anniversary

Published on July 31, 2007 in Journal. 23 Comments

It was Singapore Hotdogs group 3rd Anniversary on 27th July 2007 and we had a private pool party that evening.

I was really looking forward to it cause i heard there will be games and i can’t wait to take part in those games!

Since Daddy is in camp and mummy still haven’t get her driving license (lousy), mummy had to take a taxi there. Good thing Mummy manage to share taxi with my fellow hotdog friend Ramu and his Daddy.

Here is a picture of me & Ramu. Ramu is a Long Hair Dachshund, black & tan too! Isn’t he good looking???

The organisers booked a doggie swimming pool at U-petamart, so the whole place belongs to US, the Dachshunds! Any dogs taller and have a body that is shorter, cannot come in. Oh, though there is a maltese, i didn get his name and i am not really sure if hes a maltese (Reina’s Mum: I am pretty sure he is not a maltese) :p There were so many dachies that mummy didn’t manage to get their names.

Heres the Pool. Nice eh? Can you see Jamie following behind me. I think he likes me cause the previous gathering, he kept following me too.

So, there was running, swimming & sit stay competition. I came in 3rd for both Running & swimming but i did badly for my Sit stay command. Based on overall results, i didn’t manage to win anything! *sobs* Its not that i do not know the sit & stay command, but come on, the floor was so wet and dirty, of course i did not want to dirty my sexy back yea?

Heres a picture of the very handsome Clubbie & very pretty Tifanny!

Food for the day!

Here is a very blur group photo.

I had a greattttt time and i am so looking forward to the next outing. I will defintely win something the next time round if the let me compete on a carpet floor :p

Mummy’s been really busy these days, She has 2 events coming thursday & friday. 2nd half of the year means the launch of Fall/Winter collection. I can’t wait for her events to be over cause she looks like a zombie now. Well, if there is any good that came out of the preparation for her event, is the reason to buy new clothes & shoes. She came home today with a new pair of shoes & says she needs to squeeze time out from her tight schedule to buy some new cocktail dresses. Woman *shakes head*…. Shop, Shop, Shop….

Daddy will be coming home this Friday! Come friday come faster. Mummy will be done with her events and i will have Daddy here with me too!

I hope it will not rain ANYMORE cause if it rains, i can’t go to the park! I want to chase some birds…

Goodbye

I heard the news from Luckie… and till now i still cannot believe it…

I’ve always known Oscar as the Airedale who scores ACES in his agility classes… Probably one of the smartest dog i’ve ever met. Just take alook at all his awards and certificates.

Mummy & I never knew of this breed Airedale and Oscar was the first Airedale we know. We love reading Oscar’s blog as he always bring so much fun. Mummy likes Oscar so much that she even told Daddy that she wants to get an Airedale if they get to move to a bigger house.

I like the Oscar who plays with his hoola hop, who looks so smart wearing the bandana…

You’ll be missed dearly… Continue to be as charming over at the rainbow bridge.

Love,
Reina

POTTER MY ***

I swear this thing is evil.

I shall publish my own REINA PAWTTER and make sure Mummy reads that!

Shame on you Mummy! Daddy’s in camp and you are supposed to spend more time with me and not Mr Potter!!!!!

Reina’s Mum: Well, i forgo a gathering with my University friends and brought Reina to a dachshund gathering. I said bye bye to the gathering.. i was supposed to go watch The Simpsons and then go to a nice pub for some drinks. I FORGO all these for Reina. So Reina, quit Whinning…

Lousy Mummy :p – Reina

To Sentosa we go!

Published on July 25, 2007 in Journal. 21 Comments

I had a greatttttt weekend! My parents brought me to Sentosa. Sentosa is this little getaway with beaches that are good enough in Singapore context. Well, to me, i think the beaches are beautiful, but mum swears that these beaches are NOTHING compared to those she’s seen. *roll eyes*

Ok, so before i start talking about my Sentosa trip, i just wanna say… I MISS DADDY already! Daddy has officially gone for his reservist. For my frens who do not stay here in Sunny Singapore. Reservist is a torture boot camp for ex army boys, it is (sad to say) COMPULSARY! Daddy had no choice but to go… a man’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.

So i am left to face Mummy for 2 weeks… (oops, did what i just said sounded like i did not fancy the thought of facing my Mum?) Ok, here i go again. I am SO Happy that i will be having so much private time with Mummy!~ (i really still prefer having daddy around)

Back to Sentosa now. It was FAMILY DAY on last Sunday and my hooman’s family decided to go Sentosa for a pinic! I was really happy to see DomDom again cause i really miss playing with my frens! Mummy prepared her best dish, Prawn Aglio Olio for the gathering and it was a hit. The dish was WIPED out! Pity i didn’t get to try… But mummy was nice to bring pumpkin for DomDom and me.

It was my first time there at the beach, so i was pretty excited when i see the amount of SAND. So what did i do the first thing i step paw on sand? I DIG! YES!!!

I COME, I SEE, I DIG!

Dom Dom however did not know how to dig. The last time he came in contact with sand, he actually ate it. (seriously… i know hoomans always say dogs like to stuff ANYTHING into their mouths, but Dom… do you really need to eat sand?) Well, i couldn’t help but teach Dom Dom what a dog should do to sand. I must have been a good leader because within minutes, Dom Dom started digging already!

Can you see Dom Dom digging in the background?

Oh, and how can one not swim when you are at the beach yea? I tell you… i was a natural. The moment i hit the waters, i was swimming GRACEFULLY…. Dom Dom, once again stood there looking at me. It took Dom dom’s parents nearly half an hour to get him into the waters.

Heres me showing Dom Dom how to swim. Can you actually hear my Mummy laughing at Dom? So rude…. Mummy should learn to respect my friend!

Other than the Digging & Swimming, Dom and i did alot of ball chasing too! There was this Daddy & son playing football near us and the little boy heard my mummy call me REINA. The little boy was excited to hear my name and told his Daddy about it. So his Daddy asked my Mummy… “Reina as in the Liverpool’s goal keeper Reina?”

My parents were so happy that my name was finally acknowledged! Oh Come on… I did that goal keeper Reina proud for being such an oustanding mini dachshund alright! This is how it really should be: when someone meet Reina the goalkeeper, the person will say… “Reina as in the lovely little mini dachshund Reina?”

Don’t you agree with me? :p

What do we have in common?

Life and death of Mr Bean

Published on July 19, 2007 in Journal. 33 Comments

Mummy introduced a new toy to me. I call him Mr Bean.

Unlike Luckie, who goes for the underpants, I attack the eyes first…Mummy never had the chance to take a proper picture.

Moments after the first picture was taken, I attacked the other eye.

And in a couple of days…

Mr Bean didn’t have a very long life. =X

Seperation anxiety

This entry is for the records… it happened about 2 and a half months ago… I was younger and erm… *too embarrassed for words*

Daddy and mummy did a little experiment. They switched off the lights, faked an exit out of the room and hid under the blankets. I was tricked into thinking that they were out. It didn’t take long for me to do my usual thing…

Whining, crying and yelling like a chicken! *gasps*

*****Warning. Because it may sound errie to some, parental guidance is advised*****

Thankfully, I have outgrown it.

The chicken yellings and cryings are now a thing of the past. =)

Hot dog

I think we have been going to the botanical gardens too often! Hahaha…but we just love it there! It’s peaceful, green, great place for a stroll and some photography too!

Last Sunday was a hot day, we were tired from a long walk and many people have been calling me hot dog. We stopped by the station for some refreshments. But wait! Does it say Hot Dogs! OMD!
