Looking back to 2008

The year's ending in 2 days time...

Looking back the past year, we've had Micole as an additional member in the family.. :) my sweetheart... grown bigger... heavier... and naughtier... :) she simply doesn't want me to comb her fur... she'll start struggling and biting the comb once it goes near her... *faint* and she's rather picky when it comes to food... now she's feeding on Cesar with kibbles... current flavour of the month is beef and vegetable :)

As for big girl Schnappi... her best accomplishment this year is her CD title from the last trials... we are extremely proud of her... though it came rather as a surprise... :P nevertheless, I would still consider her "well-trained"... whilst practising the jumps recently... we noticed that she still have this "play streak" in her... Trainer Chris was telling Bb that she's still not showing enuf "respect" for the handler... need to instill these into her more more more... :P we're planning to get some jumps set up ourselves so that we can practise more often... it's something different from the usual rigid obedience training... and we hope she can get some fun out of it and maybe can try out Jumpers in time to come...

Hope the girls will be healthy.. be good.. for the coming year... :)

Next Trial in Feb 15!!

Woo hoo!!! Heard the next trials is on Feb 15... Seems rather near hor... after minusing all the christmas lar, new year lar, cny lar... basically we're left with only around 7-8 weeks to train... woo hoo~~~

Dunno whether we can make it for Jumpers this time... coz Schnappi still not stable yet~~~ she still runs wild in during the jumps... to her, it seems like more play than work~~ :P

Nevertheless, we shall all do our best~~ hopefully we can all surpass our achievements in the last trials!!!

Doggie woes...

First thing, this micole is not eating again~~~ not totally "NOT" eating... but she takes a few bites then play then totally ignore the food... i tried to coax her to eat more but she simply wouldn't eat... i tried mixing some egg white into her food and she picks most of the whites then some kibbles then leave the food unfinished... i noticed it's not the food prob... Aunt E says she's "hong sim"... haizz... i have no choice now but to starve her a bit... though it might not be a good idea cuz she's still a puppy... but hopefully she'll eat better after this... :( that's how we "cured" Schnappi on the same problem...

Next thing... i reached home yestereday to find Schnappi gone... her playpen empty with a pile of shit and some vomit stuff... my gosh... i nearly fainted.... then i tried calling BB but couldn't reach him... i started crying like mad and keep re-dialling Bb's number.... then i received a sms from him saying he's driving Schnappi to the vet cuz her face is so swollen that her eyes can't open normally... i was sooo scared.... about an hour or so later, Bb called and said Schnappi is fine liao.. her swell going down a little.. doctor gave her a jab and they are on the way home... i was so happy and relieved to see her home... the swell is still there... and because we induced 2 medications (heartworm pill to eat + applied frontline) to her the day before... hence the doc cant tell what exactly caused the swell.. she looked somewhat like a husky with a pit bull terrier face... can u imagine... :( heart pain...

Because of this, it striked me as how important Schnappi is to me!! she's really a part of my life, my family... i really can't imagine if anything happens to her... so is it for Micole... i worry because she doesn't eat.. that she'll turn skinny... or will not properly develop her whatevers in her pup stage... haizzz.... sooo many worries~~~
