Can you see me?
I found out that under my baby sister's cot is a cozy den just right for sleeping!
Although sometimes I do knock my head on the underside of the bed when I try to rush out. My M says she hopes I don't get any sillier from all the knockings. I thought I'm a smart boi?
It's Helios!
My M was out of town for a working trip for 4 days and I bunked in with Scuba when she wasn't around. Boy, was I glad when my family finally came to pick me up!
My M always called me her 'One-dog welcoming party'. I'm sorry you only get to see my butt in most of the video. I think I was moving too fast for my M to video so she just decided to focus on one spot and waited til I zoom into view.
I hope she felt that I gave a warm enough welcome... I was zooming for almost 5 minutes!
Just a typical day showing how my baby sister and I like to disturb each other.
She doesn't like being licked on the face, and I don't really like being scrunched in the face. So we see who gives up first.
I win this round!
... for my early morning rubba....
a.k.a morning wake up call... at the same time my tail would be thumping against the bed and the baby cot, enough to make my M stop lazing on the bed.
(M: Luckily, like Herbie, Helios doesn't wake me up from my sleep. He'll only do this when he knows that I'm actually awake but still lazing in bed.)
It's the time of the year where we celebrate all mothers and since my mum is far away in Oz, I will celebrate the day with my baby sister and my M.
And it just so happens that my baby sister's new childcare centre was organising a mothers' day celebration right next to my regular dog run yesterday morning! So right after my weekly run at the park, we popped over the fence (almost literally!)to join the kids pawty.
See the dog run?
The dogs were all on the other side so you can't see any of them in the above picture.
Anyway, I was quite the star at the pawty and a lot of kids came up to touch me ot take peektures with me. I even managed to get myself a full body massage!
A little to the right please!
And then there was food! I was kinda hoping that once again, my baby sister will share her yummies with me.
Helios: Do I get a bite?
Sherylyn: Do I want to give Helios a bite?
I thought my wish would be answered when my M told my baby sister to 'Go and sit WITH Helios'.
Which is what I thought she would do...
But apparently my baby sister didn't want to get her pants dirty so she quietly did this instead...
Not only was she not sharing her yummies with me, she's sitting ON me and EATING her yummies!
I think she's still not very good with her vocab, since she can mistake 'sit WITH Helios' with 'sit ON Helios'.
I hope this new childcare teach her better english next time. The important words being 'give', 'share' and 'offer', best used before the word 'Helios'.
Anyway, here's wishing all mums a Happy Mother's Day! (including my mum in OZ!)
Introducing.... my new best friend!
Yes, it's none other than my baby sister!
She's starting to get to the 'fun' age (if I can ignore the fur pulling and head butting).
What should I get her to feed me next?
I just 'nose' there's something interesting in there.... if only I can get someone to lift up the flap for me.
Scuba and I had a rawhide competition the other day to see who would be the fastest chewer in town.
Unfortunately, I lost.
But not because I was a slower chewer, but because Scuba's mum instigated my baby sister to distract me while I chew. Here's the proof!
After successfully spoiling my view of my rawhide, she went to get her reward.
I bet I would have won if not for distractions. I call for a re-match!
This is my very smart baby sister naming all of us! Of couse, although she's smart, she still needed some prompting sometimes.
I think my baby sister can sorta recognise my big brother herbie sometimes. Sometimes when she sees his photo, she will go 'Er-Bie!' but sometimes she just says dog. My M have been trying to tape her saying 'Herbie' but she's not always so cooperative. I wonder how she knows which is my big brother herbie since my M only showed her a few pictures of herbie.
My M got an email from my breeder recently, and it turns out that I'm gonna be promoted soon! Yes, promoted to the status of Uncle!
My litter sister, Spice, will be having her first pups in April! I thought our mum was great by having 7 pups in all but Spice managed to pull an even better one. The vet thinks that she might have 12 pups!! I'll be an uncle to 12 nieces and nephews!
Look at the soon-to-be mother, doesn't she look as boootiful as me?
Gosh, I feel so grown up now!
PS: But I'm not sure my M still calls me a silly boy and thinks of me as a puppy. (M: because you behave like a puppy!!! ) I shall have to make her stop calling me silly or else none of my nephews and nieces are gonna wespect me.
My M has been busy these few days making a cake for her friend whom she says is going to 'pop' soon. I wonder what is her friend popping. Maybe corn? So that we can have pop-corn?
And the cake she's making looks very strange too. I asked her if I can eat the cake and she says no, coz it's a diaper cake. I asked if she meant to say her friend 'pooped' instead of 'popped' since she needs diapers but she kok my head and called me a silly boy. She said a diaper cake is made up of diapers and baby goodies stuffed inside to resemble a cake.
Then I noticed something VERY interesting on the diaper cake!
A toy-toy!!!
So I asked if I can have the toy if I can't have the cake.
Can I have Mr Tiger please??
But my M said no and proceeded to wrap it up.
I think maybe I'll have to pop too in order to get a diaper cake with toy. Or maybe should I poop instead? Hmmm....
Although this post is not suitable for children, the atrocious act is done by none other than my baby sister, a kid herself!
See, not only is she a dog abuser, she is also a dog molester too!
Look at the proof! Look at what she's trying to do to Scuba! 
Besides this, she has also tried to touch his balls and poke his bum! Poor Scuba! I'm so glad that I have my long fur to help cover up my privates, otherwise I think I won't be spared from her molestations as well.
Don't let this seemingly sweet photo from deceiving you. My baby sister is indeed capable of criminal acts!
Dogs who visit us, be warned! Come at your own risk!
Happy Roaring Year of the Tiger! I hope everyone's year started Puurfectly! At least mine was not too bad. My M and MM brought me visiting on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year and I got to perform my parlor tricks (ie: food on nose). The kids were extremely impressed and I got quite a bit of cookies. I would have gotten more if my M was not there to control the amount *pout*.
Well, we didn't manage to take any photos coz my M didn't bring her camera and I was too busy checking out the new houses and trying to avoid the babies. My M says I finally knows what it feels like to be stalked because one of the nephews, who is only a month older than my baby sis, was totally fascinated with me and kept following me all night. I had to be constantly on the move because I think he was trying to steal my toy.
My M's gonna have a pawty at home this saturday so hopefully there'll be more food! Maybe she'll remember to take photos too!
(M: And there's gonna be another baby too!)
Oh no! I hope this baby won't stalk me like the other one does. I have soooo many toys to pawtect!
Well, a reader of my blog commented on my earlier posting that he/she was appalled that my M allowed my baby sister to hit me with a book.
There are somethings I need to clarify on my M's behalf.
Firstly, that was only a portion of the video recording. Prior to that being recorded, my baby sister was actually patting me, that's why my M took out the video to film us. Then my baby sister changed her mind and decided to bully me.
Secondly, what makes the reader think that my M did not scold or discipline my baby sister? It was precisely why the video was cut off at the end coz my M stopped taping to reprimand her when she refused to heed the earlier warnings. Or maybe I should ask my M to continue taping the evidence of her disciplining my baby sister to show to the world that she did not just sit back and let me be bullied.
Thirdly, I can choose to walk away and my baby sister will not be able to reach me since she is confined in the playpen. I was not made to stay there. Actually, if I am really very much in pain, I would have walked away.
Those who follow my blog will know that there are posts showing when me and my baby sister really love each other. And babies being babies, sometimes they do not know their own strength or what they do might be wrong. But don't worry, I'm still very much loved, and my baby sister does get stopped when she gets a bit overboard.
Just don't get so uptight and jump to conclusions, ok?
Remember I said that my M is planning to do something else with the photos she drew of us?
This is what she did... with her netbook:
Isn't that nice!
Remember I said that my baby sister loves me?
Now I'm beginning to think that it's not that true. Look at what she's doing to me?
She has now taken to whacking me with her book. And after that (not captured on video), she even attempted to dig out my eye with her thumb!
(M: The funny thing is, the baby is confined in her playpen and Helios is outside. He could have walked away when she started 'bullying' him and she won't be able to reach him but he chose to stay there and let her finish her evil deeds (pulling ears, pulling fur, whacking head, poking eye) before he walks away. Then he'll stay there looking very sad and resigned the whole time. What a silly dog!)
Although after that she tried to make up to me, I couldn't quite decide if I should forgive her.
Oh well, I think I'll forgive her.
Remember sometime ago I posted this drawing my M made of me and my big brother Herbie and I was wondering what she was planning to do with it?
Well, I finally found out some time ago but I couldn't tell you guys about it as it was meant as christmas presents and I can't reveal what it is until the recipients have all opened their presents.
This is what my M made in the end:
A tee-shirt with all my friends on it!
Here's a close-up. Can you tell who's who?
She also made some mugs as well.
Side A...
Side B...
And she made a non-chrismas version tee for my baby sister.
Finally! I can let the cat out of the bag! What a relief!
And now my M is thinking of what else can she do with the drawings. She's thinking maybe she will zhng her netbook next. Whatdyaguys think?
(Zhng is a local slang for 'modify', ie: modify something so that it's nicer, faster, prettier etc)
First of all, a very Happy New 2010 to everyone! Me and my M started the new year by going to the beach early this morning to try and catch the sun rise with her friends. I told her, why must she catch the sun when she can catch me, since my name have the word sun too?
She said it's a different sun. Frankly I can't tell but I'm just happy to be out with her. She said she will try and see if there's any nice peektures.
And now, an update on my barkday. My M says I'm officially an adult now so I can vote, drink and watch R(21) movies.
On X'mas eve, after baking the cake, I finally had a chance to eat it, but we had to do some things first.
Take peektures...
It took a lot of convincing to make me take this peekture coz I refused to go near the dangerous fire on my cake. I don't know why my M tried to burn my yummy cake. Luckily, my baby sister and Tommy's baby brother managed to help me put out the fire.
After that we managed to take a proper (and safe) peekture. Safe also because Jack and Joey were kept aside. They couldn't take the peekture with us because if they stand too near the cake, there'll be none left for the rest of us.
There must be something about white dogs. Even Scuba tried to steal my cake while me and Tommy were still posing. Luckily he's not as fast as Jack and Joey so we managed to save the cake.
Here's us testing the cake first before it was taken away to be cut up.
And on my actual barkday, my M cooked my yummy steak and a fried egg. She also gave me some of her carbonara!
More peekture taking...
Chomp... chomp...
What a wonderful end to a great year!
How time flies! I'm gonna be 3 years old next week and since the humans are having a x'mas eve party tonight, my M decided to have an early celebration for my Barkday too! So she's gonna make me a yummy cake. You can try out this recipe at home too but there's no guarantee how it'll turn out coz my M does everything in estimation.
Sorry if the photos turn out blurry or with a strange color cast coz my M left her camera at Scuba's house and she had to make do with her phone's camera.
First, you'll need these:
Of course, what's a doggie cake without meat? So you'll need this too:
Minced beef (or whatever meat), stir fried with chopped garlic. Then boil and mash the potatoes.
Mix them with the egg (coz I think the egg holds everything together)
My M happens to have some left over cream and she was afraid it'll spoil if kept for too long so she added it in as well but you can skip this if you want.
And how can a cake not have flour? So we have the healthier wholemeal version. It's also to soak up any excess juice if your mixture is too soggy.
Mix, mix, mix. I wanted to help but my M won't let me.
But in the end she found something that I can help out with.
I think this is a very good job for me, cleaning hands.
This year, my M decided that instead of the usual round or square cakes, she'll try something special. Can you guess what?
She's gonna make me a Me cake!
And this is what the finished me looks like!
Complete with 3D ears!
After that it's baking time, about 200 celcius for 30 minutes. Then the cake has to be cooled down before we can start decorating.
Speaking of decorating, my M was actually wondering if there's any sugarless, or healthy icing (for dogs). She's not a cake person so in the end she used cream cheese again. But she'd like to try something else (with some color hopefully) next year. Drop a note if you have a recipe please!
ok, so here's the cream cheese deco in progress...
And the completed one...
Now comes the hard part.... trying to put my name on it.
My M DIYed the 'icing' with mashed sweet potatoe (actually she cooked 4 sweet potatoes but ended up using only one).
Luckily my name came out all right.
And here come the hardest, hardest part....
Taking a photo with my cake but not being able to eat it... *pout*
My M says I have to wait til the pawty tonight to share with my friends.
PS: Psstt.... I've actually had a secret lick when she wasn't looking. Don't tell her that.
