Slurpie Turns 1

My Christmas Eve Baby - Slurpie is 1!

to celebrate his 1st birthday on 24th Dec 2008 we went to cold storage today and bought a premium slab of beef sirloin. I seared it slightly in olive oil and his sides are boiled sweet potato and veggie (capsicum and broccoli). Look at his wistful face as he awaits the command to start his feast!



And this is him getting all buddy buddy with his ah gu birthday present

Doggie Crane

This is our new devise that can pick up objects safely and securely......introducing the doggie crane system:

Fridge Raider

No matter where Slurpie is in the house, underneath the sofa, in the room or out at the balcony and no matter what he is doing, sleeping, chewing his toys or peeing even, he is always by the fridge within seconds when it is opened. He knows his favorite apples are in there! Fridge = Food. His theory is to Sha Chuo Bu Fang Guo I think cos we really do not feed him from the fridge but somehow he notices that his food are stored there maybe!

Stripped!

Overdued pics of how Slurpie looked after the Stripping. The first stripped portions of head and back has already grow out and the fur is very straight and shinny. Nice!

In 2 mths time he should be a handsome boy! Note he was not really affected when we did it as we did it slowly and sometimes he will actually fall asleep.

Play date doggie care

Boxster a 6 mths old salt and pepper belonging to the neighbor came for a play date one Sunday afternoon. He is hyper! The 2 can wrestle non stop, take a 1 min break next to each other or wait while the other take a drink of water and start wrestling again! Well no complains as that gave us the luxury to just relax and watch some TV while they entertained each other =) Wrestling pics are a blur as they were that hyper so could only manage their resting shots.

Nutritional Meals

We have started slurpie on nutritional barf diet, raw beef/lamb/kangaroo meat with veggies and sometimes some boiled potatoes. He is loving it and I guess it must be good for him too as his poo has reduced meaning most of it has been digested and absorbed?? Less stinky breathe too and we think he is putting on muscles not fat =).

What we do is to buy the meat and veggies and prepare them over the weekend into meal size portions using plastic bags and freeze them. Every night we will defrost 2 portions for the next day in the fridge. Its simple actually as all it takes is lots of chopping of the veggie and some packing. The vegs are cheap, I just buy what looks fresh and is having promotional prices (like 3 broccolli for $2.15). For meat we go for minced frozen beef/lamb about $5 for 5 days portion. Kangaroo meat for pets from Cold Storage Katong, hugh pack for about 10 days portion for less than $10. Healthy and good! What you see below has some Alfalfa from our salad yums....

Schnauzers Gathering at Sentosa again

26th Oct 2008
tanjong beach, sentosa

After 4 mths we are back for the gathering at Sentosa. This time the weather was perfect, cloudy and no rain perhaps because it was also the Barkday Party of the year. Slurpie was surprising well behaved, never barked once. Only time he was notti was when he was distracted by this other schnauzer (male too) and he went off to the beach following him while Slurppa and me panicked and went about searching when i realised my bumble bee was gone!

Still had not downloaded pics from my cam so i stole from Serene's page haha. She has the whole event posted in great details. Go look here >>> Thanks for the great gathering gals! Will upload mine asap.

By the way i was not being cruel and making slurpie wear bumble in the sun but cos he has just been stripped and we did not want the sand and sun to irritate his skin.

Slurpie was so happy

Bumble Bee, Slurpie (aka the hand-stripped Botak) LOL~

Slurpie, digging for gold bars? bones?

End result of the digging~ muahahaha

Ahhhhh~ The sand below is cooler!

Designer Home

wouldn't it be wonderful if Slurpie could have a cool kennel that blends into our modern home. Look what I found on DenHaus

beautiful! could totally act as a coffee/side table yet Slurpie can hide his toys in there. Someone please buy this for Slurpie.
