My baby sister has finally been upgraded to eating semi-solids.
What a mess!
So I thought I finally got to the stage when babies gets fun (for dogs).
Is anything dropping?
Hey I'm still waiting for my turn... yoo hoo... here~~
But it turns out there was nothing.
Sherylyn: Haha, Helios got cheated!
Helios: I thought you're supposed to drop some!
I thought they say babies throw food on the ground?
Sigh.. maybe next time....
But I still love my baby sis.
My M seems to think I've got 6th sense, coz I just know when they're coming home from work. Either that or their coming home time happens to coincide near dinnertime.
Proof can be seen in the clip below. I was already waiting at the door when they were still in the lift. They even asked GrandM if I was there the whole day but GrandM said I just started staying near the door slightly before they came home.
It's a VERY special day today, coz I'm now officially TWO!
But I celebrated my barkday with my friends earlier, on christmas eve, since the humans were also having a gathering then. My M made me a barkday cake to share with my friends, made with wholesome goodies!
*warning: loads of photos of my cake in progress!*
Fried with healthy olive oil
my minced chicken!
Even my MM helped... for like 2 minutes!
Is it ready?
The we added carrots and garlic
Some honey.... coz I'm sweeeeet
And an egg and flour
this is so exciting!
Mix 'em up and put in a tray for baking
The cake 'icing', which is actually cheese
the 'iced' cake
My name! And I'm 2!
But I can't eat it yet...
We have to go Scuba's house for the x'mas pawty and take the annual 'dogs with tree (and now babies) photo'.
Then I finally get to eat my cake. Or rather, I have to pose with it again. All my friends were kept away so that the humans can take my peekture in peace. Unfortunately, there was no more fridge space coz it's filled with human goodies so my cake was left outside and the words on my cake started bleeding.

Me having the first lick at bleeding cake
Then we all got to eat the cake! Look at me chomping!
Chomp!
And on Christmas day, I get to open my presents! But as usual, I have to pose AGAIN!
Are we quite done yet?
Finally!
Thanks to everyone for the lovely presents!!
And last night, my M cooked me a YUMMY dinner as an early barkday dinner. I got a whole piece of steak!
I want it medium-well please!
My yummy dinner!
The other part is a mix of veges, prawns, scallops, fish and some mussels. (actually leftovers from the human dinner but coz it's only cooked with herbs and no salt, I get to eat some).
My medium-well steak!
Yummy! I ate all the beef first
But I don't really like veges, and I think I'm not a mussel fan as well.
But overall, it was a very good dinner!
My M says that I'm an even BIGGER boy now coz I'm 2, so I shouldn't be so silly anymore.... but... I never thought I was silly. Was I?
Last week, my MM's brother, Uncle CH brought me out to play freeze-bee. My M said she wanted to come along to take some peektures too so the 3 of us went out for an hour of fun.
But that's not the oops part.
So I waited for the freeze-bee to land...
But that's not the oops part.
I flipped over the freeze-bee with my nose...
Bit it's still not the oops part yet.
I ran with the freeze-bee...
Still no oopsie yet although my M says I look rabbit... I thought I'm a dog?
(M: Rabid! Not Rabbit!)
Then I posed nicely with my freeze-bee...
But still no oops.
Actually the oops has got nothing to do with my freeze-bee! I'm sure I tricked you into thinking I did a oopsie with the freeze-bee! Ha ha ha!
What happened was, I think I need glasses. It was a VERY big field, and there was only Uncle CH, my M, me, and a couple with a westie. So I ran to sniff noses with the westie. As I was busy sniffing butts... I mean, noses, Uncle CH told my M that he's gonna walk further down. So he walked far far away.
So after doing my social thingy, I wanted to look for uncle CH to play more freeze-bee, and there I saw him... far far away! So I ran FULL SPEED AHEAD towards Uncle CH.
In the faint distant, I could hear my M shouting something but I can't catch what she said coz I was running so fast the wind was buzzing in my ears. I think I also heard Uncle CH shouting for me so I ran even faster. I think Uncle CH wanted to play catching with me coz he started running as well.
As soon as I caught up with Uncle CH, I jumped up at him twice. OOOOOPS! THAT is NOT Uncle CH?!!?! Where IS Uncle CH??? So I turned around and I saw Uncle CH far far away again and I ran at him FULL SPEED AHEAD!
It turned out that unknown to me, at that time while I was buzy sniffing butts, I mean, noses... a teenage boy joined the picture and he walked past us.
And later my M called me a stupid boy and started telling everyone how silly I've been.
(M: What happened was, Helios just saw a 'lone' figure walking and he assumed that it's my brother-in-law. So he started running. I was shouting "Helios! Wrong Person!!!" But I don't think he understood. My brother-in-law was also shouting Helios name in a bid to make him switch directions.
The teenage boy was actually just walking when he turned around when he heard us shout only to see a big dog running at him in full speed. Then he started running as well. Unfortunately, 2 legs cannot be faster than 4 and Helios caught up with him. Helios has ha habit of jumping on my brother-in-law to play and after 2 jumps, I think he realised he got the wrong person and he turned back.
The couple with the westie, were initially wondering if my dog was going for the kill coz they were asking each other what's happening. Until they they heard me shouting 'wrong person!', then they started laughing quietly... and laughing... and repeating 'wrong person' to each other.
Luckily we did not get a complain from the boy for letting our dog run after him. He continued walking on his way and we quickly made our escape soon after.
And THAT is my oopsie.
Baby: What's the next lesson?
Lesson 3: Drool is gooood....
The more you drool, the more likely you get fed. Because the humans want to stop the drool from coming.
And my baby sister is learning fast!
At this rate I'll be running out of things to teach her soon!
And this is how you play with a long toy.
I think either my baby sister will have to grow a bigger mouth or use a smaller toy.
Where are you?
(M: Just another day in the life of the silly boy, just another goofy way of holding his toy (besides poking his own eye with them) )
I am now officially a Big Brother! My momma gave birth again recently so now I have 3 step-brothers and 2 step-sisters.
Tired momma and step-siblings
My M says that all those puppy bums reminded her of me when I was young, and when she was anxiously waiting for updates from my breeder.
29 Dec 2006 - can you tell which is me?
Anyway, this will be my one and only batch of step-siblings coz my breeder says my momma's not gonna give birth anymore. But I may get to be an UNCLE next year coz my sister Spice will be bred next year!
Spice
Don't Spice and me look alike? But Aunty G says that we only look alike when I look serious, which is hardly ever.
Maybe I should try to look more serious and less goofy.
Bye bye, Big Sister Daisy. Go and look for my big brother Herbie, he'll look after you well.
I still remember the last time we met was so long ago, I was still a pup, and you were celebrating your barkday.
It's because of your website (started long before blogs were the 'in' thing), that my M hit upon the idea of setting up a blog for my big brother Herbie so that she can convince overseas breeders that she's a sincere golden lover by showing them how she takes care of my big brother so well, so that they can consider selling her a pup and that they can watch the pup's update via the blog too.
If not for Aunty Trish, my M would not have found my breeder, and thus found me, and I would not have gotten to meet you and Waverly as well.
So it's all thanks to you that my M and I got each other.
Aunty Trish, take care of yourself. We know how you feel, because we went through the same pain when my big brother herbie decided to move to the rainbow bridge first. There will never be another Daisy, just like there will never be another Herbie, but me and Waverly will be around to lick the wounds better for my M and for you.
My M took some peektures of me doing the food on nose trick in slow-motion...
Now you see it...
Then it's going...
Going... (see the inside of my mouth!)
Gone!
It was yummy. And my M took the peektures 4 times, so it's 4x yummies! I think I might want to try balancing a whole chicken next time. Do you think it'll fit on my nose?
Sherylyn: What's that big black thing pointing at us?
Helios: Say Cheese and don't move, otherwise there'll be no food.
No food??
A few months ago, a small patch of white fur suddenly appeared on my head. A lot of people asked my M what happened, so my M told them that I got white hair from thinking too much.
Thinking in process
Maybe I should try not to think too much about who to disturb next.
