My 2 first tries

This Sat, Mummy brought me to a new place with a big garden and I saw a swimming pool. Nope, Mummy did not win any ToTo to get me a landed house with a swimming pool. Its a chalet, Mummy had a BBQ gathering with her colleagues and they all wanted to see me.

Actually, I was not allowed to be in there as the security says that no pets are allowed, but I am no pet, I am the princess of the Tan family.

I had fun playing fetch with all the hoomans and they love my activeness. I managed to snack on some food too.

I was not tired from all the fun but I'm tired from staying inside the carrier for too long, I hate to be inside. I keep crying till my face was wet. But I was a good girl, Mummy for the 1st time took me on a bus, its so boring and Mummy had to pacify me so I will not make any noise during the trip. Mummy promised if I can be so quiet everytime I get into my gai gai bag, she will bring me to ECP again by bus haha. I doubt I be so obedient.

No pics as blur Mummy always forgets something when she bring me out, this time she forgot all about the camera, and so using her lousy handphone, she manage to record a vid of me playing with a guy of cos.

CHANGES TO THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS (DOG LICENSING AND CONTROL) RULES
To enhance public safety, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore has reviewed the Animals and Birds (Dog Licensing and Control) Rules to tighten existing control measures for the management of potentially dangerous dogs in Singapore.

Enhanced Control for Scheduled Dogs

The requirements for keeping a Part I dog will apply to all Perro de Presa Canario.

Need to build up stamina





Need to build up my stamina for my Search & Rescue training. Under the hot sun, my furry body gets tired easily. This is a big disadvantage to small dogs like me as we are so close to the ground surface.

Today I did a high jump like 3 times my body length, the officers and Mummy praise me for being a daring girl, pity Mummy did not capture it on camera.

Mummy colleague bought me a tee from her trip to Taiwan. I keep looking back at it, I think I like the pokadots.

Happy Deepavali

Today, Mummy decided to meet up with Renji Ma at urban pooch. ITs been ages since I've been there, think its almost a year. I miss that place very much and I was so happy to see Raye too. I keep jumping up to her and licking her non-stop.

Mummy discovered a bite on my leg and suspect it might be a red ant bite as I could not have been bitten by a tick as I am immune to ticks. Anyway, I am not in any discomfort.
