Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails

Valentine's day was uneventful for me as I got left at home. Oh well, I'm not keen on getting hitched anyway. Which reminds me of what happened at the dogrun yesterday. Godpa read about the SKC event but we decided to go to the usual dogrun on Sunday. He thought it's alot better for me to enjoy the off leash socialization.

The place was packed with dogs and a few were taking classes, it seemed like guard dog training. I wonder if they have watch dog training, I'm a great barker you know. I had at least two suitors that day, an old black corgi-mix (grey whiskers and eye brow) and a miniature schnauzer with a punk mohawk furdo. Too bad godpa didn't take any pictures. We didn't mind the mohawk dog's interest in me but his human insisted on keeping a distance so he wouldn't hump me. Should've let him try so I can teach that punk a lesson in dog etiquette.

Godpa says he's going to be busy the next few weeks especially in the evenings. So it looks like less photos of me and more on food *argh* He tried Komala's masala dosai today, it's pricey but alright he says. I wonder when I'll have a go at spicy foods. Would I go haywire like what happens after my showers.

Hot and stinky

It's been so hot these days I think I'm stinking from the sweat. Godpa squeezed time for a dogrun excursion last week but sadly it rained shortly after we arrived there. So it's mainly been walks around the familiar estate, usually brisk ones to ensure I get enough cardio exercise (or is the cardio meant for godpa?)

We did some obedience revision today. As you can see, I was asked to "stay" so very far away that I nearly broke the "stay". I guess I'm rusty too.

Since the flowers looked pretty, I was asked to pose for some cute shots to brighten my blog. As for the fire hydrant photo, I'm not really into those things though godpa thought dogs and fire hydrants often go together (not for a bitch!)

元宵 Spring returns

正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节。正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。元宵节又称为“上元节”。

Hmm, do I know Chinese? Well, I guess so as godpa does speak to me in Mandarin sometimes. I suppose I'm a tri-lingual dog (include my own mother tongue of course). Godpa's back into this blog thing after a short mourning for Benji. Actually he's been feasting a bit at the same time; life's full of contradictions. He says he'd only one big buffet feast this year and it was with colleagues. As for yusheng (鱼生) he only had it twice this year. He loves yusheng; probably I'd like it too since there's raw meat involved.

Godpa did not forget to treat me for the new year, and coincidentally my new treat is dried salmon strips. They're kind of crunchy and strangely smell like cured cuttlefish rather than fish. Hmm, godpa wonders if there's something fishy going on with the product.

One of my favourite pastimes these days is sitting on the sofa with godpa while he watches tv. If I ask politely he'll sometimes let me jump up there (usually after I obediently do a sit).
