Wipe Your Paws

We walk Slurpie twice a day unless it is raining. And after the walks, the moment he enters the house, he knows he has to "down" and wait till we wipe his paws with a damp cloth. We are considering getting him boots so he can walk when the ground is wet too. Ya he is a dog some would say and its ok for him to get his paws wet. We typically frown on human items on dogs but the boots would be really practical as wet fur means tangles and with his long fur on the legs its really a pain in a @** to comb.

Still looking for a easy to wear pair that is not more expensive than my Heatwave heels!

New house for Slurpie

haha like real....not that we do not want to but we do not have a garden....ahem (what a good excuse). Reminds me of the chinese saying "same black dog but different lives"

maybe we can start we something smaller like this
but then again Slurpie never likes to stay in his kennel or even on the bed. his fav spot is under the sofa. ya lucky us, we have a low maintenance poochie. Perhaps we can look into a indoor garden for him? Mock grass carpet tiles.....hmmmm i like.

Tadah Groomed!

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....
