Dommy's 8 now. Eight is wise old age to be for a dog. And at eight years old, he is definitely wiser and urmm.. older than me.
To determine a dog's age in human years, it is commonly believed that each year of their life is equivalent to seven human years. I just found out that it is not quite right. It depends on the breed and size. The first two years of their lives are a fast forward in human years for our furry friends. I found a dog age calculator on Pedigree's website. Head over there if you want to check it out. Here's the link http://www.pedigree.com/02All-Things-Dog/Dog-Age-Calculator/Default.aspx
Dommy is a standard poodle. According to the calculator, he's 61 years old.
Results:
In human years, your dog is 61 years old and is considered a senior dog.
Gosh! If i go by the commonly believed calculation of 7 human years, he should only be 56. He sure don't look 61. He still runs like a horse and plays like a kid when his friend Lester drops by.Curly taught me many things. He's pretty wise for a curly. Watching and being with him made me realise that there are things that my dog teaches me each day.
- Patience. Curly says, if you sit quite still with puppy sad eyes at your friend's side when he/she is eating, they are bound to feel guilty and finally share some of their food with you. But love doesn't mean that we can overfeed our dogs.
- Unconditional Love. Stay with your loved ones no matter what happens. Through sunny and rainy days, Curly stays by my side and never once abandon me. Even though i have abandon him and gone off on my own holidays for long periods of time, he will keep watch and wait for my return. He will be back to his joyful self and tag me like my own shadow when i am home. And only a dog will love you so.
- Have Fun.When its time to rest, take a rest. When its time to work, do work. When you are tired, take 40 winks. When the sun is shinning bright, run out to the garden and roll around :) When the days are too warm, roll on the floor and take a break.
- Walks. Have walks with your loved one. Have many walks and leave many mails along the way. Make friends and check out new places.
Happy Birthday my dear Curly. Even though he does not read my blog, i am sure he knows i am writing about him :) He kept looking my way and asks me to go to sleep. *LOL*
A good scent it is. That's what i sniffed right from yesterday. The scent of my Eighth Birthday. Today i am Eight.
To be Eight...
To be Eight...
- I am an awfully old dog now.
- I sleep more and sometimes am lazy to check out the sounds at the outer gate.
- But i still guard my family here with my life.
- I still walk with a spring.
- I have more dots on my body.. old doggy marks.
- My vet says i look like more like a dalmation wannabe when i am shaved bald.
- I can run faster than anyone in this house. Grandpa says i don't run, i gallop almost like a horse.

Dommy
Thank you to all of you who have guessed and for some who keep insisting that its an llama :D I had a fun time reading all your comments.
Have a wonderful weekend ahead and Happy Fluffy Friday with all your fluffies :)
But our car ride ended up at the groomers which is quite far away. I even slept in the car. Then i remembered i came to Karen's place before. Long time ago. My usual groomer is in Kuala Lumpur. Bet she misses me. Tiffany still does the best cut. She knows best on how to make me look cute with the puppy cut. I am always looking puppy cute. Sometimes some people think that i am just a puppy. I am almost going to be 6 years old come December.
That's me with my new collar. Don't i look hot? All the other doggies were checking me out
I just went for a wash and groom. They checked my ears and clip my nails. I tried to bite their nail cutters but Karen thought that was cute. She's quite a nice lady. A whole lot of people who came by the shop played with me too. Karen didn't want to let me go home. She still wanted to play with me.
I left 2 brown poop and some peepee behind before i left. That's all Karen and Anny's fault. They know i have to pee real bad but they kept talking. So i just did it there.
Today is my day. I am made to feel like a king and so loved at my Ipoh groomers here.
Dommy can sleep while he is sitting down. Cool ya? hehehehe.. that's his new Bambi look :)
Oh.. Curly is no more curly. He had a crew cut again and made to look like Bambi. Poor Curly. Anny says that its too warm in the afternoons here. So he's all trimmed down to less than an inch. Except his face. He still looks cute but he's too old to be looking cute. Now he has to wear his tee at night. Just in case he catch a cold.
We are all very tired now. All three of us woke up early today at 7am. And the trip to the groomers... we are poofed. Gotta sleep now. *woof*
love,
Piper
This little fella is too much.. too much i say. He's just waiting to be rolled over. He got himself neatly packed between the two wheels of my chair and went snoozing away and expect me not to even breathe or move an inch. Just because it rained and the winds were howling and there was lotta noise outside, he got real scared and decided to seek the two wheels of my chair for comfort.
Do you see the dangerous pattern. He's always have his face and nose near the wheels. His nose has to be near a dangerous about to move object. Either that or they love to sleep right behind a closed door. Sleeping and sniffing for outside activity.
And this is where Curly sleeps at night. Our old poang. I might need to get a new cover for the poang soon. Its all torn and old. If only i know how to sew or work the sewing machine... ^o^" Maybe i'll be able to find a book on Sewing for Dummies :)
The look very blissful when they sleep. Maybe burying bones or chasing cats in their dreams. Sometimes i hear a woof or two from Piper when he dreams. It is cute. Dom however just snores and snores away like a train :) They sleep almost the whole day when i am working and they still sleep earlier than i do at night. I think they sleep more than a koala.
They don't know it yet, but both of them are going for a car ride tomorrow. Both of them need to be groomed. Maybe a crew cut for Dom as its really warm in the afternoons. They do love car rides a lot. Both of them usually smile widely when they go for car rides.
Goodnight everyone. Have a great week ahead.
