Back from R & R

Hi everyone!

Whoa, has it been so long?

Thanks for dropping by eventhough this place is filled with dust and cobwebs *hint to LS*

LS said thanks for the well wishes. Her wrists are getting better although she's not to lift heavy things for a while yet.

Well, we haven't been doing anything at all, really. Just some R&R.

Retreat from the computer for LS and reflexology for me.

Highly recommended, don't you agree?

Playing Nurse

Sorry we haven't been visiting lately. LS hurt her wrists so she couldn't spend much time on the computer.

So this has been our daily routine lately...

I'd put LS on some physio...

Hey LS, it's playtime!

Note to Huskee : The shroom is still intact :-)

Why are you still in bed?

You need to rest?

Then you shouldn't be watching TV!

Half an hour later....

Are you done with the resting yet???

I make sure she's not in bed for too long nor stare at the idiot box all the time.

Do you think I make a good nurse?

Thankful Thursday

One of the setbacks of living in the hot climate is that a lot of pesky insects love it too. Especially the mosquitoes. We sure get plenty of them all year round.

So I was pleasantly surprised when a friend got me this gadget. It's an insect trap. And it really works!

As much as I appreciate this gadget, it's the thoughtfulness of the friend that I appreciate the most.

It's the thoughts that count the most. Very true indeed! That's a lot to be thankful for.

Happy:

I'm thankful for the insect trap too. With the gadget around :

I get less sprayed on with the neem and citronella repellant LS uses on me.

I get less shrieked at for trying to rub it off on LS, the furniture, the rugs and umm...the walls too.

I really, really dislike the repellant smell. It doesn't matter that LS said it's for my own good. I just want to be a fragrance free dog.

Do you have this problem with your humans? Or are you a walking bouquet of floral or citrus smell as well?

What are you thankful for? Hope everyone is having a thankful time too.












Thank you Lynn, for hosting Thankful Thursday.

We're participating in Dogs on Thursday too!

I love naps, not nappies!

Weekends sure don't last, do they? How was your weekend?

Thanks everyone for being so understanding. They really helped in getting me out in time for the weekend. Only to find out that it's the time of the year again. Oh no!

Remember this?

Luckily this time around LS didn't whip out her camera for another snapshot.

LS, I love naps, not nappies!

Do you think we have a communication problem?

Big Trouble

LS says I have a serious problem. LS says I need help.

It always happen when I'm bored...

That's when I hear the voices...

Since I always listen to both...

Poo near the door...

So it always end like this...

Do you think I have a problem? Do I need help?

Hopefully I'll be out in time for the weekend.

Have a good weekend everybody!

To Be a Dog Mom

Here's a little tribute (albeit one day late hee...) to all doggie moms out there. We know you would've read this before but still, we couldn't resist posting it again hee...

Before I Was a Dog Mom

Before I was a Dog Mom........

...I cleaned my house everyday, I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies, or invited neighbour's dog over to play.

...I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags, toilet paper, soap, or deodorant were poisonous or dangerous.

...I had never been peed on, pooped on, drooled on, chewed on, or pinched by puppy teeth.

...I made and enjoyed hot meals...alone.

...I had unstained, unfurred, clothes, and quiet conversations on the phone, even if the doorbell rang.

...I had complete control of my thoughts, body and mind.

...I slept all night without sharing the covers or my pillow.

...I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop a hurt. I never knew something so furry and four-legged could affect my heart so deeply.

...I had never held a sleeping puppy just because I couldn't put it down.

...I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.

...I didn't know how warm it feels inside to feed a hungry puppy.

...I didn't know something so small could make me feel so important.

...I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a...Dog Mom.

Hunger and Hope

Recently we received this in our email. The subject said it's a Film Festival Winner. After watching it, we understood why. And we saw what hunger is from another perspective.

View this movie at cultureunplugged.com

Right now, more than 500 million people are living in 'absolute poverty' and more than 15 million children die of hunger every year.

World Health Organisation estimates that one-third of the population is underfed and another third is starving.

Unite for Hunger & Hope

LS:

This week I'm combining this post with my thankful post.

I have a confession to make. I used to be a fussy eater. Thankfully, that has changed. Or rather, I'm still improvising LOL! I have to admit that at times I am still fussy...but I'm getting there. So when I received this email about hunger and hope, I am reminded once again of not taking provision for granted.

Happy:

I have a confession to make too. I'm a fussy eater (just like LS hee...). At times I do kick up a fuss over my kibbles, wanting to eat LS' food instead. I know I should be thankful for having food and shelter when many of our friends are hungry and homeless. But LS said it's no fault of mine. She made the mistake of giving in to me all those times but now she's more resolved on being more firm with me. I'm thankful she knows better.

Oh wait, does that mean from now onwards I have to beg harder for human food?

Does anyone of you have eating issues like me? Or do you just eat anything that's edible?

Friday Funnies

TGIF! Things have been rather quiet here. Can't wait for the weekend though.

I'm sure most of you would've watched this video before. How about a re-run?

Anyone of you can play dead? I know I can't.

Have a good weekend!
