Kera Sumbang

kera sumbang ~ Orang yang takut atau tidak gemar mencampuri orang ramai... basically it means a recluse. A person who withdraws from the world to live in seclusion and often in solitude.

When we had Piper... few years back, it was just Piper. We loved him.. we pamper him and its just him. He's the king and everybody loves him because he fluffy and darn cute... :D

He can sometimes pass off as a statue cos this lil doggie don't move much.. except for tummy rubs. But he can run very fast. When he runs, his feet don't actually touch the ground. Trust me.. i have chased after this tiny fella. He's handsome and flamboyant.. especially after he puts on his red collar with the bell.

But he doesn't really mix with other dogs. Maybe we never exposed him much to other dogs when he was little.

Now that Brandy is having her holiday in his home, he doesn't even want to come out of the house for his walks, peepee & poopoo. I think he is almost petrified of Brandy and her size. *LOL*

Brandy kinda runs fast when she's happy (urmm.. she's always happy) and she's big. For a tiny dog like Piper.. Brandy would seem like a big hurricane coming towards him if he sees her running towards him.. hehhehehe

Piper is more of a house dog. He don't like to walk on the grass. He doesn't like to get his feet dirty.. hehehehhehe He only likes to walk on the road. Never on the grassy patches. Not like Brandy or Dommy.

When Brandy goes for walks, patches of grass no matter how small the patch is, its like a big draw to her. She loves the grass just like Dommy. But not Piper.

Both sis and i usually refer to Piper as kera sumbang. Cos he doesn't like to mix. Dommy however craves for other doggie friends.

Weird. All three doggies have such vast difference in characters. Maybe they are all different breeds and they woof in different languages.. Hmmm... mebbe thats the reason why ^.^

Oh ya.. Sis emailed me a picture of her kera sumbang just now.. hehhehehee..

We still love him most. He is our first furkid after a very long time. With a face like that.. we can't help loving him more. He is my dad's favourite too.

A Drop Of Yellow Cheer

My sister sent me an email that went..

I'm staying for a week ! Yippee!

hmmm... i was wondering when she's coming back to stay for a week. *LOL*

Then i read on further and found out the email was supposedly from Brandy. Brandy came by and stayed with her for a week. She is having a ball of a time with Brandy.. (and i am so very jealous). Somehow, this yellow furkid is like magic. When she comes by, my sister is so happy when she's with her. I can even feel her grinning away when she's talking to me on the phone just now. Tired but definitely happy.

Brandy is a bigggggg bag of cheer. Just lookit her below.

How a drop of yellow makes all the difference. She has such a funny face. Looking at her just melts my heart.

I am contemplating driving down tomorrow just to get some yellow cheer and lots of droopy saliva. And a photoshoot with one of my favourite muse. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.. i wish.

Kuning says Hi!

The dog was created specially for children. He is a god of frolic - Henry Ward Beecher

Kuning is indeed a god of frolic.. hahaha.. She is so lovable and funny. With a face like this... who can not but to fall in love with her.

I think Kuning would have grown a few inches already since the last time i saw her during CNY. Soon she will be much much bigger than PP... and Dommy too. When she comes running.... without brakes... we all better be ready to fall backwards :)

I miss this yellow furball too!

Curiosity killed the cat.. or does it? Part 2

YeHaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... i am on a roll tonite. Too bored with my daily work... and nagging from "the upperheads" so i decide to drop that and sneak over here.. hehe.. i'll get back to that tomorrow.

And so... guess what happened to Brandy. I'll let her tell you herself.

Its not my fault... its really not my fault... i was just checking out the pond... and the rocks formation... and the steps... and and the hibiscus was delicious the last time i ate it.

Then i decided to test out the rocks and see if they are sturdy... and and this water taste so much nicer to drink... i drank it when PP's mummy was not looking.

And and then i slipped. I I I fell into the pond... but i am a goldie.. and i love water... and i am smart... and and and i forgot that i am still small... its quite hard to climb up again...

I hang on to the rocks for dear life and yelped out real loud to PP's mummy to come and save me. PP was even helping me by barking out to his mummy really loud to come downstairs to save me. PP is such a darling.

PP's mummy came down and promptly save me from my swim. I I I was really just checking out the rocks. Really. I got the evidence.. My head, neck and ears were all dry. Just half of my body is wet.. and its really quite hard to climb out from the pond again. (but i can jump out real fast in a few months time when i become a big goldie.. you just see).

In a few months time, when PP's mummy and daddy goes to work... i will just have my swim in the pond... and just check out more rocks... and hibiscus. But i will listen to PP's mummy now.. and not go near to the pond. Just in case i decide to check out some rocks and fall in. I'll do it again when i am a bigger doggie.

Golden Retrievers do love water... a lot. Their coats are dense and water repellent. But just because golden retrievers love water does not mean they cannot drown. Especially puppies and curiosity. Watch them around a swimming pool. The are not like humans... and know how to come up the steps of the swimming pool. Crate them... or put up a fence.

As you can see.. the Yellow furball above is still laughing over the whole fell into the water fiasco. They have the face of an angel... and when you want to scold them, they just give you a silly smile and all is forgotten.

Goodnight folks :)

Curiosity killed the cat.. or does it?

I got a call yesterday earrly morning... from PP's mommy. She was on the way to work and was stuck in the jam all becos of Yellow Stuff. hahahahhahahaaa

Was just talking to my sister the day before. About how Goldies love water. Sis have a small pond in the back garden. Kinda like a water feature with a small waterfall. Since Yellow Stuff is at a very curious stage in her life, we decided to put her at the back garden just in case she decides to take a walk on her own and go missing if she's at the front porch. She is safe... but.. not safe from the water. Everyday she is walking nearer and nearer to the pond... which is about 1 feet deep.

Yellow Stuff have been very busy the last weekend chomping on hibiscus, grass and even small pebbles. She always have to have something in the mouth. Sis even peeked at her and saw her at the edge of the pond.. drinking from the pond. When she called her.. she just innocently walked away.

Curiosity IS one of the most important aspects of life be it for animals or humans. It is through curiosity, a deep desire to find out things, that life promotes itself. It keeps itself alive, reproducing again, and gathers resources more effectively each time.

A lack of curiosity can lead to a lack of life. And a very bored sleepy dog.

And guess what happen to the Yellow Stuff that morning.

February 14, 2009.. and all the loving begins...

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone...
love from Dommy, Kuning and Piper :x :x :x

All three of us... celebrated our Valentines Day at the park. Near the carousel... we pooed & peed and checked all our "love mails" left by our other doggie friends.

Since Kuning is here for the weekend, we got another extra doggie breath.. i mean another doggie friend to run laps around the house. And since she's a girl, we'll let her have the run of the whole house.

Have a good valentine and a great weekend. I am now off to show this new goldie girl my house and share some treats with her. I am trying to win her love. Ahhhhhhhh.. to be in love. I think i'll win heads down since Dommy is stuck in the hometown with Anny ;)

Grandpa is coming down tomorrow and hopefully i'll get to spend time with grandpa too.

Till then... wooooooofff! and a wooooooooooooooff we go...

love,
Piper

How to fall in love in 48 hours...

It takes but a minute to get a crush on someone
(kinda like love at first sight)
an hour to probably like someone
(well... even if the person farts.. if its love at first sight.. you don't even smell a thing)
but surely a lifetime to forget someone :)

but... how long do you think it takes to fall in love with a face like this?

kinda like immediately.. hahahhahahaa.. it is surely a love at first sight. Even though this bunch of yellow fur poos and pees quite a lot.


She comes running to you at full speed like a speeding rocket even when you don't even call her. You just look at her and here she comes... hahahhahaha

Looking very innocent even after she has wrecked havoc. Here's she trying to get a tummy rub even after she left my dad screaming no no nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. My dad found her running up and down and knocking the reindeer christmas ornaments into the pond. One reindeer was already sinking/swimming in the pond.. and another was without an ear. hahhahahaa.. She was already chewing on the plastic leaves. All i could hear from my room was my dad going NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... then it was arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. that was when she promptly knocks the reindeer into the pond with a swift fast knock.

With an angel's face like this.. who would not fall in love with her. She became our "Kuning" for two whole days. She was our guest for our Chinese New Year holidays. Sis and i loved her almost at once... cos we keep going out to play with her. We almost forgot about PP and Dommy... hahahhaa.. Poor PP and Dommy.. so unloved at least for the two whole days.

I do miss this yellow furball. She was indeed a whole lot of fun. And you surely need a whole lot of energy if you want to have a goldie. They just love you to bits. Till we meet again Kuning.

*Kuning means Yellow

I am a golden and I steal hearts

My name is Brandy and i steal hearts :) woooof!

I came to stay with Dommy & PP's family during the recent Chinese New Year holidays because my mummy and daddy went on a short trip and it was too tiring for them to take me along.

I kinda like it here cos there's loads of places to run... and things to check out. PP's mummy is always with me... keeping me company and teaching me new tricks. I think she kinda forgot about PP for a while. I think the handsome PP was jealous of me. Woooooof!

With a face like mine, who would not love me. Even the cool Mr Dom was checking me out all the time. I know I know cos he is always trying to sneak out and play with me. But i am too fast for him. I just stick close to PP's mummy's legs... so that i can be safe.

I am a Golden Retriever... and i am going to grow real big. Check out our paws.

Everyone loves a golden... and everyone loves me. Did i manage to steal your heart?

The Golden Retriever is a breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting. As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water. Their intelligence and versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs. Its friendly, eager-to-please and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the world today.

The temperament of the Golden Retriever is a hallmark of the breed and is described in the standard as "kindly, friendly and confident".

Golden Retrievers are very attached to their owners. Leaving them alone in a room can cause the dog to become very sad and distressed. They have a need to always have something in their mouth, and like to carry things around. They are great athletes and must be walked daily, or they will become restless and anxious. This makes them an ideal family pet.
