East Coast Park excursion

Yeah! Godpa and Uncle Leon brought me to ECP today. The weather was great and I'm now a tired contented little dog. I met quite a few new dogs today, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, German Shepard, Shihtzu, and a few MiniSchnauzers. I did my usual barking thing, which seemed pretty rude, but I was trained to redirect my attention by walking away. They found out I love to run on leash and calling me to run helps distract me from focusing on my anxieties. I also got my first bath after surgery so I smell real nice and sweet...*YAWN* ZzzzZzzzzZzzz

Woof!

This morning I met that JRT again, it was daylight so I could see her clearly. I gave her a piece of my mind, and I believe our barking woke the entire estate. I'm not sure why I don't like her but I told godpa not to give up on me coz I don't have many doggy friends.

Weekend's coming!

Godpa says there are 2 fun events for doggies this weekend: the Class95 dog walk at Bishan Park, and the 2nd USDAA International Dog Agility Sanctioned Trials at West Coast Park Dog Run. He hopes to help me socialize with other doggies but is concerned about my stitches and whether I am ready to face such a big crowd. I'm still not very confident as I get excited when seeing other dogs and cats. Just this morning we met a cool cat coming towards us and I started standing on my hind legs and got frantic about it. The other day I barked at a Jack Russell while she was carried around in the garden. I usually whine a bit after that. Godpa just stayed by my side, he's a calm guy and this helps me regain composure. I guess he's trying to show me that he's there for me and there's nothing to be afraid of. I certainly want to live up to my name as Nikki the Brave too :)
