Our dogs are like our own reflections.But do we dare to look into their eyes and see our reflections?- Unknown

Favourite visitor of all time.

Happy.

The end.

Went to the vets, going back again next week. Hopefully nothing serious. Got attacked by a rottweiler while going for a walk just now, fortunately wasn't hurt at all. stupid people not knowing how to handle their dogs are just stupid sometimes.

Just so you all know, school's officially over for this year. Surprisingly, I think I'm going to miss class and people this year. I swore, I skipped school as much as I could last year. Too early for a year end school holiday this year, and I really have nothing to do other than going to tuitions.Dear god, send me a puppy.

and I guess, every good thing must come to an end, no matter what.

Time

Time.. time is flying by too fast. It's november, can you imagine how fast time flies?
I got a ride from a friend right after school on sunday, to go and look at puppies at the training ground as she goes for her classes.But sadly, happy didn't get the ride, but puppies? She don't like puppies, so I guess it's okay? :) To be honest, I really missed spending sunday mornings there meeting up people and dogs, my life is getting really boring without all these, especially agility.

Getting a free car ride to my school on a sunday. She gets to sit in front with mum, spoiled to the max.

(photo dosen't belongs to me.)

I'm so in love... with both of them.

  Puppies... they drive me crazy in love. sigh.

Overloaded and that's why.

So, I shall blog today. What I wanna say is..

I love this dog more each day. You know how would some pet owners, hate their pets if they'd did something wrong? The way I feel is the exact opposite. Happy had been acting rather weird, I wouldn't labeled her as "Aggressive". She's actually too timid to be one. It's totally fine, when she would avoid strangers or friends patting her, that's because she's afraid. But when the whole week, she go after dogs, children and people when we go for walks, or at home. It's really not okay, when she just dash out into the opposite neigbours just to bark at them, she even ran in their house just to bark at two strangers with a kid. The kid screamed and I cried, I couldn't control her. The whole week, I didn't knew what to do. Mum was thinking,maybe she's not getting enough to socialize. But I don't think that's it, she never acts that way when we stopped meeting up with other dogs on sundays. Even thought, she never goes along well with some dogs but she's not really that kind would just start a fight easily or chasing after people. There must be reasons and issues. But when I was asked to fix it, I'm completely stuck. To be honest, I don't know how to fix all these, sometimes I'm just so suck up with school with exams nearby. I know I could fix it later after exams are done, but what if it gets worse next week? What if, she just ran into someone or a dog, but I couldn't stop it? Others say, you shouldn't care what others think. But every time I see people with children and owners walking their dogs, they would react like as if she's some kind of monster. I would take a tighter grip on the lead, how did it end up like this.. I want to go back to how, "She's okay, she just has a really loud bark and a size of a not so tiny dog." 

Life's good.

Life's good.... well, mine is anyways. 

See that brand new cool header above? Eva took that cool picture of what I love to do best at a trial, back on August. She and her cool camera rock.

Happiness.

“My dog, she looks at me sometimes with that look, and I think maybe deep down inside she must know exactly how I feel. But then maybe she just wants the food off my plate.”

 "A dog is the only thing on earth, that loves you more than he loves himself."

-Josh Billings

Puppy love.

What's with all these puppy talk these days? Well, just today a nice young lady came up and was holding a puppy and told us that it's up for adoption. and she asked if anybody we known of is looking of a puppy? Hah, you kidding? The human feels like giving the reply, YES, WE'RE THE ONE! but sadly, she said no, but asked a little about the puppy. Last sunday, we got back on training.. the truth is, I was just as usual being tied up, it's horrible.. now we don't even do agility. Kimi brought a long this little white jack russell pup, and then.. bang..You know how my human is a sucker for puppies. It won't stop jumping on my face, obviously I showed her whose the boss over there and she stopped and didn't want to get another inch closer to me. That day, the human went to a pet store, and guess what! There's a sheltie and a whippet puppy for sale.(but you know where all these innocent faces come from :\) She acts really like, she just met a border collie,when she looked at that whippet puppy. Then, she spent up to 20 minutes, staying there just watching. Till, human mum says it's time to go and then she even ask human mum about getting that puppy. Sadly, human mum takes no interest on that breed. Talking about border collies, kimi is getting a soon to be girlfriend, what more? Is a red and white border collie! Talking about long and sexy legs for a.. little dog. *laughs* *laughs* Umm.. I'm not the one excited to actually meet a real red & white bc, it's just that the human is the one typing it. makes me sounds, I'm just really looking forward to it.. oh well..  We don't have either photos of all the puppies we're talking above,cos of the human is a emotional freak that couldn't control her emotions towards puppies.. you don't keep a picture of something, if you can't have it.. that's just how sad the human is.btw, pet stores over here don't allow photos. But hey, photos of me are worth to collect tons..
  Everyday, I can hear her asking, " So,you ready to have a little sister..or brother?"

But "Does that involved, sharing half of comfy bed?" No thanks..

Or maybe we could switch shifts for watching over the clothes drying outside for the human mum?

(in case it rains. realized it's all black today? It's cool friday.)

Not so bad.. having someone younger in the house, I could show whose the boss. it could be fun, after all.

Sounds a little impossible, to convince the human parents tho. Time to sing that song that the radio been playing lately by shontelle,~ Impossible..impossible.. impossible~

Happiness comes in many ways,

Happy.

Excuses, mooncakes and many more.

With the human officially back to her normal boring school hours, leaving me ALONE at home, worse than wives waiting for husbands to come home from work. All I do is just, stuck at home and looked like a dog.*grumbles* Remember the trick video she promised to have it, at the end of school holidays? Don't blame me.. She have list of excuses for not updating my blog as often as she should be, same goes with the videos. Main one, Homework..comes home, supposed to be playing but instead.. doing the homework..  all this f-ing homework.. Not to say, she's a smarty pants, school freak or in other way, a Nerd. hah, definitely not. Just too much homework time, no more time for doggy? Anyways, it was mid autumn festival on wednesday for the chinese, who celebrates this festival.. where we used to eat together, meet up all cousins, lighting up lanterns with candles, eat mooncakes or just watch the full moon.. Sadly, this year is the Third year we're not doing all these, for all the reasons.

Since, we don't have any candles or lanterns at home.. but.. LOOK! they have it in the shopping mall!

Lighten up by the beauty of lights~

 mm.. talking about mooncakes.. food. WAIT. what's this?? I can't bare my eyes, is it empty????!?

*I had been waiting for seconds, where's the release command??*

Other than that, I'm doing all good. notice a tiny hole on my head? Yeah, I started a dog fight one day while going for a walk. and totally owned it! heee, lately my human had been really worried and trying to have me get away with other dogs as far as possible ,afraid I might actually swallow their heads.. which I think I would do so. They deserved it, least I think so! 

~Beware image might not be suitable for puppies, 12 months and below. ~

Did I mention, although there's not as much time as usual for doggy. I still hear her cursing the teachers and homework as she's doing it, during my afternoon naps.. Good to know, she still hates homework as much as I hate cats, and loves the dog!  Before I end this post, the human was thinking if any other human knows there is any other movie maker is free to download, other than sony vegas pro 9 (we used up the trial version :P) would be appreciated!.. buying a mac book just to use imovie in it, is not working.. she would be broke... and I would run out of toys.. and not to mention.. treats. :(

HAPPY MID AUTUMN, LANTERN,MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!

 whichever words your heart desires.

and in the real language, 

中秋节快乐!

Happy & Jiayee.

More tricks, more treats.

daiSince it's the school holidays.We've been learning a few tricks lately.. or like just whatever from that 101 dog tricks book. I Hate that book and she LOVES it. cos, guess what? It's official, I know the head down and shame and it's in one of her success stories about me now. Yayy for humans, boo for canine. Which make her just more in love with that book, and hunger for more new tricks. But if you're thinking why am I doing all of this extra work to put up with her clicker mood, Tricks = reward = food = me. 

Per click, per treat. imagine 210 clicks in one day just for doing something over and over again? 

mmm.. treats.. 

She can seriously put up embarrassing photos of me.

Guess what's the upcoming trick to be learn? 

Watch the space for videos.

The one & only.

Happy.

What's the camera for anyway?

Pictures that speaks a thousand words, pretty much.

Right after we got home from Dogathon.

We're trying different kinds of fun lately, kung-fu fighting with the frisbee is one of them.

“Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog; 

but you’re never friendless ever, if you have a dog.”

P/s did they mention that they're shooting stars tonight? :)

So close and yet so far.

Funny how there were so many things, that used to matter, but didn't anymore. But things that didn't seems to matter last time, matters a lot now.

Before we into the agility ring today, I thought we were soo ready. They didn't even have a tyre jump in the course! Till the few minutes before our turn, happy wasn't showing any interest in the food I'm holding. She was backing off, she didn't want anything. We walk in the ring, I put her down, preparing for the worst. She stare at me, jump over a jump and she's done. She ran around the ring like, she was herding those jumps. The first round, we tried 3 times and the second, I decided could she do the end the end of part of the course? I took her and she went in the tunnel and then she ran off again. I wasn't upset or anything, I was just disappointed. But with a dog that has so many problems, you just have to get used to be disappointed. So what's the big deal? It's not the first time others seen her running off like that before. 

So, am I going home to train harder again?

The answer would more likely to be a no, she's taking a break from agility. In the mean time, we'll work on other stuffs like obedience, crate training and tricks too. Not sure if we're able to go training or maybe we should go anymore. Let's see how things work out, I don't think I got the
"don't stop believing feeling" in me. It takes time to get it back though. See everyone back in training maybe few weeks or maybe months time! Also, if anyone is interested to rent me a puppy/dog to me to do agility.. I would love to.. so umm.. ring me up? Getting able to run Russell and Cami was fun, thanks a lot for letting me run them! I was a little unsure about running Cami, she's so great and fast. and I wasn't at all ready to run someone's else dog,especially a fast and great one but thanks a lot to her human who taught me how to handle his little amazing dog :) The first impression, I ran her was like.. whoa, she's fast!
And,we also apologize for everyone to run around to chase after the crazy mad dog on the loose in the ring.

Well, thanks to eva's owners for taking this video. haha this is basically, the " Whose your best friend " trick!

-Jiayee.

Here we go again.

So, it might feel a little weird to walk a dog in the school uniform in the morning.Still, I feel a lot better about getting to let happy before school.and and and I don't think she's really a morning person  dog after all, haha. 

We also work with the cat issue thingy today, well this is mizz green eyes kitty.It has to be pen-ed up a while, but later I took the box out, covered on top but she could still see the cat. She was a lot better than the first time I work on her with this, she didn't really bark much until the cat hiss at her. But there were improvements, she actually sit as I told her to and she respond me & the clicker, she also ate the treats with the cat around!! Such a good gurly! I was amazed a while! It's only the second time, I'm introducing her to the cat :) Still, we will have to work bit by bit on it.

Here we go again! second agility trial this weekend, wish us luck? 

-Jiayee.

Today.

Guess who came home right after school and got dead on the coach for the rest of the day and left me no walks and no toys in the crate? That's right, somebody caught up a virus and this is a good chance for the human parents to lock me up without starting a fight.

In other hand, it also means that staying away from the clicker awhile and start lying on the bed with a book for her or either, lying on bed with the laptop watching agility videos. At second thought, she's not really made of metal after all.

Weird enough to causing the lack of sleep.

Wondering what the pawesome white mutt had been up to lately? Wonder no more!

Weird things had been happening around lately.

Here's me freezing the lion with my super powers.

I spent too much time with my toys instead of the food.

Guess where I found my enemy the other day? I knew she had been hiding away from me.The human is acting rather weird these days.Sometimes out of a sudden, she thought of weird games for us to play with.

see what I mean?

Well, this is called the act-like-you-are-a-K9-game.

See me drooling over in that photo?

You get to bite the human's arm.. wrapped in a towel*

Just so you know, I always wins the game. the human is just ohhhh so weak..

Did I also mentioned that she had been waking up way too early Every day? Well she is, I just need her to know that the school is really nearby that I don't think that's a need to wake up that early in the morning. Also weekends, is probably saturdays I get to sleep in.. till she decides that I'm over weight. time for more long walks. awesomeness? Then if you wonder why I had been running away a lot more lately in training, is probably because I want to go home.. [to be honest, there's a cat in the car park.] and continue my sleep. Blame it all on the human/cat whichever reasons above that make sense to you, for all my misbehaving.

And and and .. this is how I actually looks like before and after sunday training. you just couldn't missed a single second of sleeping in the car.

I better get off the computer and continue my sleep before the she decides that I shouldn't even be napping during afternoons instead I should do more training and running with her. Sometimes, I wonder if she's really made of metal and never gets tired?

More to tell soon, 

The poor mutt,

Happy.

Day 2.

More jump drills! We added a bar.We did a little stay and come, not much obedience today.But jump drills are definitely looking good! And now for some great stuffs! We finally bought the Pvc cutter after pleasing the parents for ages!!Finally! we got it!  :) we will build more jumps soon! Here's a video.

New Moon Fanatic. Grr-eat.

This is just grr-eat. Guess who pop onto the front gate on wednesday? Buddy's owner! If you don't know whose Buddy, well he's a handsome husky and my cousin (: Anyway, back to where I was about to say. Also, she pop into our front gate and then here comes the human taking in a plastic bag. The moment she open it, all I know she was screaming and jumping up and down all excited like she there was a brown border collie in it. Later on, all I know was what.. what... was it? Oh it's just .. a New moon dvd and a really huge poster. Ohh I'm sure she's mad, somebody call the mental problem hospital and send her in there please.By the way, do check out my awesome pond,I extended it and bought another 4 fishes to keep another 4 accompany! They're pretty aren't they? all different colours! You can feed them but Only with fish food (: [Translate it, if you wanna know the meaning of the title I put for my pond] And then, she make me take photos with that scary huge poster! so here it goes..

I'm Not a new moon fanatic At all.

I wasn't looking at Taylor Lautner honestly. I was looking at that poor wolf

Hey wolf, poor you getting stuck inside the poster!

This is just horrible! How many more photos do you need!

OHHH look a bird! 

Trying to put my beautiful paw prints on it..

OOHH I thought it was a mat. Oh nvm!

[sceretly attempting to squash it. ooh i forgotten it's flat.]

I hope she donsen't ask me to accompany her to watch the dvds.Oh Hope not.If she does, I let you all know by howling! Keep your ears clean hounds and make sure you send a few wolves or vampires to save me. 

By the way, I heard FIFA World Cup 2010 had already started on Africa? I'm not really sure whats so nice about it, I'm no biggie fan but I do like to chase footballs! I thought the photo above was kinda Lame, the human edited it. Lame much! ..Humans..

Bark bark bark,

Happy.

Did someone say Food?

Here are some photos of what I've been up to lately.

The human made a birthday card.. for a friend.

 The only thing is nice about it. Cos it has my face on it.

Then she found A cool dog treat recipe from a blog, where she's looking at hillcrest border collies. 

I think she called it Frosty paw.Click on it for the recipe :)

Later on she tries to torture me with it. and this is the picture where she asked me to leave it. then she kept on mumbling "You want it..You want it?"

and again...

I swear I could kill someone right now.

Can't ... stand... it ... any.... longer... call.. the.. animal police...

AND FINALLY, she gave the "ok"

So, I started to eat!

You've to close your eyes to enjoy it.

I guess that's all for now peeps! hope you enjoy the photos of how my human torturing me with food, please ring spca/paws up for animal abuse if anybody would like to help the poor dog.Anyways, Time to get back some serious study. "OHHH This gotta be my favourite chapter! FOOD! mm.. smells funny.. I wonder if it's edible?"

Before I end this, here's a the proof of how evil the human can be sometimes and definitely someone taught her this.Saying all the alphabets out and then it makes me blur she have to say OK two times. Till I get it's OK to eat now. Which is Exactly what happened to kimi last time. Poor us.
