Ding Dong Belle

It's been months since April that Belle went to a new family. Today I finally heard and see some nice pictures from a friend Jess. Good to see that she looks happy in the pictures playing with her younger owner. Belle definitely looks cute with hairclip.


An eye for a date

Licking good to look good

I am plump as a plum

oops.. I slipped

We are trully happy for Belle that she finally found a place that she can comfortably called home. Her family were so fond of her that whenever they go, she go. And Belle, keep the pictures coming. We want to see how fat and pretty you can grow into.. Cheers!

Malaysia Dog Day - 28 June 2009

I finally claimed my independence again to be out to attend a dog event in Stadium Chin Woo, KL last Sunday. Jen was unaware that the dog agility competitions were reschedule to later afternoon. Ron had already mentioned that we should not be there too early as they were afraid that my energy bar will run low before the real competition starts. So there we were the three clowns sitting and waiting for 6 hours.

In between, we joined the Fastest Recall and I unfortunately got hit by a big Golden Retriever with no sense of direction making me tumbled and rolled twice on the floor. Jen was hit by that big dog on her stomach and yeah, with no apologies given from the big dog's owner. How unthoughtful! I was shaken but not stirred as I turned out to be the 2nd in line and the next semifinal run, from the fastest I became the slowest mo. I was too careful after the first incident. Jen was surprised why I was running so slow with my head low looking from left and right. Once bitten, twice shy.

When it comes to 60 weaving poles, Jen thought that I was ready but heck! I was too ready for the doggie treats and kibbles lying unattentively on the competition floor. Sorry Jen, I haven't had my breakfast yet and those treats were alluring and I was hungry. So after three tries, Jen gave up. Weaving is one of my favourite but food is my top favourite. Doggie like me just have to choose to survive.. Jen was nagging at me for not being attentive to her and well, it might help if the floor is clean from all these additions..

And after waiting for another 2 hours plus, my energy bar already sloping down the hill and just probably enough to manage for 2 runs for the Basic Jumper competition. Again, I waited for another half an hour for the organiser, judge and the participants to debate and to have the rules reannounced and course plan rearranged. My engine was so hot a few times that I barked out of excitement. Oh yeah, I don't bark unless I was extremely extremely excited.. My trainers haven't heard me barking all these years and only once on the training ground. That fine day I was too excited and run for four complete runs and off leash.. hehe.

Coming back to the Basic Jumper competition again, the time when everything is ready, my engine already cool down and I was at the edge of recharging my battery. My first run was with hesitation as I was clawing myself on the slippery parquet floor. Jen put me on leash for the first run because she knew that my focus was not there anymore. I was tired and I think I am focusing more on clawing for my safety than running the whole course. When it comes to second run, Jen decided to off leash me. I think she was exhausted too and decided not to push me too hard. At the end, I decided not to pursue the course and ran all the way to my resting area. Jen understood my signal and immediately crossed her arm to be volunteerily eliminated from the competition.

Jen told me in the car that she was proud of me for not letting her to pull the cow off me and the reason why she off leash on the 2nd run was for me to make my choice either to follow her to run the course together or I can decide to rest . Her sole purpose was to exposes me into indoor environment and both of them were happy about it.

I rarely sleep in the car but that day I slept like a log on Jen's arm when we were in the car. Oh boy! I was so mentally and physically tired and I stunk of pee pee from head to toe. Till now, Jen was still figuring if any big dogs are peeing on me when she is not looking..

Both humano did not captured any pictures as they don't see why they should do so. Place was terrible, smelly and crowded. And if any goody of you would like to contribute a few pictures of the event to me, please email me so I could post into this bloggie. Thank you and have a nice doggie day!

Got this pix from another site. Cami looks like a pussy cat from afar and Ron's hiding behind my back? We spent time waiting and waiting.. yawn.

Not forgetting if you are interested to read Jen's opinion on the course layout and her thoughts in shadow-agility site with the link in this bloggie. And now, passing my pen over to you Jen.

Funny Pictures of Me

After searching high and low for old pictures which never comes to public. Here are some for your viewing. Be warned that this might gives you a light head, wobb'y legs and long lasting giggles throughout the day.

"Have a butt-weis-ser" "Warning, don't drink and weave"

"I am the incredible hulk in a tight bee costume" "I am ya King Shadow, bring me my kibbles"

" me and my cute button nose" "me featured in a doggie model magazine of the month"

"oopsie daisy, I just miss the bus" "Where's everyone? Did I miss the feast?"

" balancing act- the devil on me" "I loves this cushion, if you look hard enough, you will notice my drool"

Doggie Fashionista

"you can't touch this" "official ambassador-to-be of a bank"

" the thai massage is superb and it comes with complimentary tidbits" "this roller is good for a belly rub rub"

"this hotdog taste weird..blurrgh" "best to floss after meal to keep your teeth shinny white and clean"

"HaHa..that's all folks"

Shadow in Agility

Jen is extending to an additional site to document my progress and at the same sharing our experiences. The dog agility is an interesting and mostly enjoyable sport for both dogs and humans. I've googled and saw that a training school in Europe even promote agility in small breed such as the chihuahua. This shows size does not matter, it is the passion that counts.

Jen will be putting in some extra efforts to draw the course which we ran on the YMCA ground. She had that memorised after a few rounds. We are running on alternate Sunday instead of every Sunday due to my personal emotional issue.. I am an emo dog, remember? Ron felt that I performed much better this way as I am proned to boredom once I get used to everything. My running mode will automatically switch to 'pull cow' mode if they aren't careful.

Not forgetting my tribute to Groovy's owner, the trainer who comes up with new courses every week..

Dog Rescue in Pulau Ketam

It is sad to see that the dogs were inhumanely banished to isolated islands due to the sick excuse of overpopulations in Pulau Ketam. 300 stray dogs left in the swampy islands were found weak, thin and starving and some had resorted to cannibalism. Poor thing..

Furry Friends Farm and other good souls out there are in the midst of rescuing the survivors from the islands. Here are the sites for all friends and readers who wish to contribute help physically or financially.

Earth, Space and Light

Here comes the Star Trek fever.. Star Trek has been everyones' childhood movie and again all will be looking forward for Spock and the Enterprise. Yes, both my humano Ron and Jen will be watching it soon once they have their spare time. It's a great movie not to be missed..

I personally think that Zachary Quinto suits for the Spock character with his feature (sharp eyes, pointed nose and now comes with pointy ears for a Vulcan) and his cool mysterious personality like how he portrayed in Heroes. Yes and again, the humano are watching Heroes Season 3 back home depriving me of my ball fetching game. But again, I wouldn't mind if we can promptly go for a brief walk around the playground..

Beam me up Scotty!

I hope I doesnt look weirdo in this picture. This was taken during the Earth Day (28/03/2009) at home. Look at sweetie Belle, she was hiding under the table. Afraid of Klingons, perhaps?

Enterprise warping away..bleep bleep

Belle is 2 today

Belle just turned 2 today officially on 07 May and we have celebrated a day earlier to make this post possible to be published on the actual day. Look at the big honey themed birthday cake that Jen bought for Belle. A cute and cheery looking cake. As I says, cakes from Thyme Bakery are the best. Yum yum..
(look at those cute buzzing bees, don't they look delicious)

Belle is kind of a shy gal, always shying away from the camera. I think she is way too excited for a bite..I agreed that the cake looks alluring and smells good. Jen had taken a lots of pictures and screened those that were too blur. Well, looking at those blur pictures makes my head buzzing..zz zz

(Jas dapped some cream on the finger to make Belle hocus focus for the camera. Smile and says beees)

And not forgetting getting dress up for the special occasion. Belle definitely looks a cutie bee to me. You haven't seen Jen putting up the hoop up her head covering her eyes, haha. She was walking blindly just like a bee but very smart enough to take up the hoop by just rubbing her head all the way on the sofa. Smart..


We grabbed any chances to get a lick whenever the cake is near. If you noticed hard enough, in fact I have just licked up a bee..ooppss hehe. Belle wasn't that fast..sorry gal . Anyway the human have to make do of the cake since now it's already contaminated by our saliva or else we wouldn't mind taking the whole cake on our own.. *this is one of the strategy to get a bigger piece* grin

Here's a little posie with Jas smiling at the camera.. I am a heart warmer which makes everyone goes oohh.. what a cute dog... sees the evidence now..haha

Candles lit and it is time to sing a Happy Birthday song to Belle. Happy Birthday Bella girl.. You are 2 years old today and we all loves you! This may be the first and the last birthday with us but we will always remember you the first day you walked in to our sweet home and the day that you will be rehome to a finer family who loves you double triple more than us... loves you gal..

p/s: If you haven't notice the absence of Ron, Jen and the other two humans from the pictures, let me tell you that they are terribly shying away just like Belle. However it wasn't Belle's lucky day since it was her big day and that means you are on the camera.. smile..
