Don Reina

I’ve been tagged by my friend Putter to play the middle name game.

Here are the rules,

1. Post the rules before you give the facts. (Listen up Pups, these are the Rules!!)

2. List one fact that is somehow relevant to you and your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.

3. When you are tagged you need to write your post using your middle name and facts about it.

4. At the end of your post choose one dog to tag for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to let each puppy know she/he has been tagged. (It’s ok if you don’t do this, just tag who you want to tag!).
 
I have a few nick names. Sausage dog, Crazy dog, Your dog (When I mess up the place), Orh Kim (Black Gold) to list a few.  But the true middle/nick name remains “Don”. (After Don Vito and Don Michael Corleone)

Because I’m actually quite a Daredevil, daring in every sense of the word.

O for Organised crime. (no I’m only kidding.) I meant that I’m quite an organised eater. I like to start from one point on my food and work my way from there.

N for Naughty girl (according to my parents.) I like to make offers that they cannot refuse. I have this innocent look that I can carry off whenever needed. You have no idea how well this works. =P

Alas, to further stake my case as Don, here is a picture of proof.

Now, I’ll like to tag my friends Dachies Rule(Roxie, Sammy and Andy), Orson and Nikita to play the middle name game!

Face to face with a Great Dane

Hello friends, today I wanna blog about my encounter with a Great Dane on Saturday.

As promised, mum and dad brought me to Pasir Ris Farmway. As we entered a shop, we were greeted by a rare sight in Singapaw.

A Great dane!

Dad’s first reaction was “Whoah, what a big dog!” Mum’s reaction was ” It’s a Great Dane.”

My reaction was…

No fear. Even though the size of his tail was actually longer than my ENTIRE body( and I’m a dachshund )…

We can still be friends.

 

It was nice meeting you!

After which, we went out to the playground. It was this huge enclosed area with a few training stations.

And because it was enclosed, I was allowed to run wild and free, with no worries.

We ended our day at the Botanic Garden.

tongue out after a long day!

I will end this post with a little trivia.

I’ve discovered a new activity to keep me awake while travelling on car. From the picture, can you guess what it is?

Beautiful Girl

Hurray! It’s Saturday and this is one of my favorite past times.

Tell me, am I groovy???? =P

I love to dance! Do you?

Thank you!

*Mum and Dad hijacked the computer from me for this post* 

Thank you all for the valuable advices and comments!

Spaying or having Little Reinas are indeed two seperate issues. We could have her un-spayed and not have Little Reinas.

One of the primary reasons why we are hesistant about spaying is because of the risks involved in the procedure. And also the pain that she would have to go through.

We used to have two hamsters, Kiwi and Bear Bear. Kiwi gave birth to two boys, Baby and Berrie. When the parents moved on, we were glad that we had their offsprings, two very loving brothers. And the thought of having Reina offsprings is really nice. It never crossed our mind to give her offsprings away.

We will be thinking about it carefully. Thank you again for all the advices, we really do appreciate them!

*Reina regains control of computer*

First things first, Happy Barkday to you Huskee! Mum hasn’t been feeling well these couple of days, so your prezzie might just be a few days late!

I’m looking forward to the weekend! Mum and Dad just told me that they will be bringing me to Pasir Ris Farmway. I’ve heard about the playground there for dogs. Maybe I might just go check it out! Meanwhile, best wishes to everyone out there!

Growing up and dilemmas

Its been a while since my first jab. Since then, I’ve completed all three rounds of my vaccinations. Hurray!

Looking back, I used to weigh 2kg. Now, I’ve put on more than half of that weight. 3.2 kg was my last recorded weight  about 6 weeks ago. Now probably more!

I’ve also got myself microchipped in case any bad guys decide to kidnap me and not return me to Mummy and Daddy. That way, if the kidnappers are silly enough to bring me to a vet, they’ll be caught! Or if there is any dispute over my identity, the chip solves it all. Coincidently, it is also a new ruling here in Singapore that all dogs have to be microchipped before they are issued licenses.

I swear that the chipping hurts more than the vaccinations. My chip wound was bleeding for a few minutes before it stopped after the helpful nurse attended to me. Thank goodness, no more jabs in the imminent future.

Mummy and Daddy are contemplating if they should sterilise me. On one hand they hope for the continual of bloodline, little Reinas in the making. It will be all so wonderful to have children and for them, grandchildren! On the other hand, they’re not sure if they can cope with my pregnancy and the menstrual periods.Plus, the whole sterilisation process seems really scary.

I have created a short poll. Do help them out with your opinions.

Should I be spayed? (click on answer to vote)

1) Yes, I think you should.
2) No, you don’t have to. Keep it natural.

While I’m gone…

I had a blast at the pawty. Thank you Simba for inviting me over!

While I was away, Mummy and Daddy caught the Singapore Fireworks Festival at the Marina Bay on Sunday. I would have loved to join them but (1) Simba’s rocking pawty was on. (2)Dogs not allowed at the festival. Bleah.

Anyway, I gave clear instructions to mum and dad to take more pictures and some videos on the night and also draft out a fireworks report and have it submitted onto my table before 2359hrs on Sunday.  (Dad: Yeah rite…)

Before Sunset.

 That’s the floating plattform specially constructed for the National Day Parade this year after the they decided to demolish the National Stadium.

About to start.

There they go. Fireworks by Team China.

Sorry, no videos though. 

Have a great week ahead everyone! Every doggie and girl girl! 

 

 

Off to Simba’s

I wasn’t going to miss Simba’s house warming.

I flew first class…in James Bond Style.

Got there right on time, with some strawberries and a bottle of wine.

Waiting for more friends to arrive…Hee hee…

Daddy’s Big Day

It’s daddy’s birthday tmr. We went out for a picnic.

Mummy prepared some sandwiches. She calls it the Mozzerella Pesto Portobello Chicken sandwich. Gawks.

Wishful thinking of me having a bite of that sandwich…all I got was banana…

 

*Gulp*

I was so tempted to jump in and grab me one of those…

But all I did was stay and watch kids play ball…

Thankfully, there was a cheese cake. SLURPS.

Watch how I work my plate (notice how I go in circles)

Happy Birthday Daddy! I’ve already given you extra dosage of licks. XX

Farmart and Little Guilin

I love weekends! It’s the time for outings! Last Saturday, we visited Farmart and Little Guilin in Bukit Batok.

Farmart is a neat little village hidden among the streets of Sungei Tengah. There is a seafood restaurant for the humans. Lots of shops selling interesting items. There is a bee farm, fish farm, pet shops, aquariums etc. Very interesting!

We came across this famous kitty celebrity and they forced me to take a picture.

 

After Farmart, we made our way to the nearby Little Guilin. Guilin refers to a granite rock sitting in the middle of a lake. It was beautiful and offered such a wonderful backdrop for a photo, we could not resist.

What’s cooking?

*sings*

They say the sky’s the limit…

Is this what they call dolly eyes?

I had fun! Now, I’m looking forward to the picnic later this week. It’s daddy’s birthday!

New Home and Some Reflexsive Reactions

Mummy bought me a new gift today.

A second home! This one goes into the play pen with me when the humans are at work.

Now, why does daddy keep doing that?
