You always be remember, Happy (2005 ~ 2011)

Guess this is the last post for this blog. I don't think I could avoid anymore further about what had happened to my bestest friend, happy. For the past few days, I went back to look at the places where Happy and I go to everyday and used to go. Yesterday, I went to Pet World 2011. I have no idea what I was doing as well, all the things sold there were for dogs, but I don't even have one anymore. I didn't know what to do when a lady from a booth came up to me as I was passing by, with the question "Do you have a dog at home?" I shook my head and ran off quickly to the ladies with the sudden urge to cry. Later on, I went to the ring where all the dog sports competition was being held. Like any other audience, I stood there to watch. At the other side of the ring, I saw all the Pet-N-You people and their dogs inside, my face lighted up with a smile. After not knowing how long is it, where they were preparing for the agility ring setting up equipments I just stood aside to watch. Then, there was a slight tap on the back I turned around just to realized it was Wen Shing, she brought me inside to where everyone was. I couldn't even said a thank you at the moment, but I hope she knows how much it meant to me. There I was just sitting inside, and everyone was busy with what they have to do for the event. A few that saw me came around to said hi,then I was even being asked to take care of Groovy and Empress awhile. I started to pat Groovy, I began to look at the fur that was on my black tee, somehow it looks like how my tee always used to look like with all the dog fur on it, everyday without fail. I was never able to wear white pants at home, as mum would always be complaining the dog's fur everywhere and the white pants would get dog paw prints on it. So, believe it or not. I only have one white coloured pants in my life, and I wore it that day. But all these didn't really mattered to me anymore. Neither less, I was just there watching handlers running their dogs in the agility ring. Then I saw Pacco, I went over quietly to give her a pat. In some way, I'm just afraid that someone would suddenly come up with "How's happy?" and somehow it happened. But I just kept quiet and nod. I continued watching, as I watch I remember how the ring was our first trial, how she ran off halfway running. I held back my tears, telling myself "don't cry, don't cry, don't cry." And it worked somehow. As I was about to leave, I went over to say goodbye to Mr. Chan, he gave me a handshake and said "Take care." I turned around to leave, there auntie susie knowing I was to leave, she said " Come to school, play with Salvia." I knew exactly what it meant, going back to ymca on sundays. At that very moment, she hugged me and I hugged back, she whispered " I'm so sorry about your happy." I didn't know what to do, when I heard happy's name, the tears was flowing out so quickly, then I said goodbye once more and walked out quickly, and the next second I know I was crying. I tried to take a last glance at everyone but I couldnt, I didn't even get to say goodbye to all of them.

On Friday morning, I went downstairs as usual it was the holidays my little cousin bro came over to stay for a few days. He went to the front gate and called out happy's name, but she didn't respond. He told me and I rushed to the gate and look around she wasn't outside, I went to the other side of the window and found her lying on the grass, I called her but she didn't get on her feet. I open the door with shaking hands and rush to her, she was still breathing but just lying down there and I was already crying when I carried her in, I put her down, she walked two steps and fell back down on the ground. At the time there was only my father at home and only he could drive. I asked him to take us to the vet, on the way I was crying with Happy in my arms. I went in, the vet did check ups for her and found a big ulcer on top of her gum, he said she might have eaten some acidic or poisonous. She was put on drips immediately, mum was here half an hour later. The vet asked us to go home, as they're taking care and getting ready to do a blood test for her. Around an hour later, we went back to the clinic. The vet explained that they have already send the sample of the blood to be tested in the lab, and hopefully they could fax the results to them by today as tomorrow was a public holiday and they will be closed. He also told us that her condition wasn't very unwell. She didn't had enough of blood and that they had to get the blood sample from her hind leg cos they couldn't find the veins on her front leg, and it's very high possibility that she might have taken something poisonous.We went in to look at her, the moment I saw her it breaks my heart. She was on drips, there was blood on the towel she's laying on, she couldn't even shake her tail when she saw us. The vet asked us to go back home again, and visit her again sometime later. We left and went back home again. Around 4pm, mum received a phone call from the vet, they told her, Happy's heartbeat stopped out of a sudden, they did a CPR, it came back, but we have to go see her for the last time. We arrived and I walked into the room, then I saw my best friend laying on the examination table with an oxygen mask around her mouth, she was in a coma. I didn't know if she heard me, but I ran up to the table and hugged her, I was crying and I kept repeating sorry endless times and I was begging her not to leave. I told her no one's going to go walks with me anymore. In the end, I couldn't sign that piece of paper that ends her life myself, I was being forced to go home. I kept crying and crying till myself falls asleep. As I was half awake, mum came into the room saying " The vet said, someone might wants to break into the house and so they could have poisoned the dog first by throwing in some food and she might have ate it. So she didn't get it during her walks,the blood test result shows that it was something's that such acid concentrated, half of her liver is gone."

I don't even know how to explain how much I've miss her for the past few days without her around. Every morning, I wake up hoping it's all just a bad dream, but it wasn't. The fact that first thing in the morning, waking up to see wasn't Happy anymore, but a photo of Happy. The house's so quiet, is like there won't be such thing as "being home alone with happy" anymore. She's always there when I come home right after school, waiting. She's right beside when I'm eating. Every evening, the word "walk" just drives her insane. She's scared of the bicycle, she's scared of thunder and the rain. I always cross my fingers when we're out and it's raining, hoping she wouldn't crawl under the car to get herself stain black again. I still carry her around, even sometimes when we're going for walks, people who saw would go like "Isn't that dog a little too big to be carried?" I just give them a smile.

The weird noises you make when you're chewing on something and someone tries to take it away, how you would only dare to bite one person in your life and that's me, how you would squeak the duck when you want to play,

I will miss how you always choose to go to me when mum asks to go out the house, how I always find you acting like you're sleeping when it's time for bath, how the word "food" would make you awake even if you're in the middle of sleeping,

I will miss how I always point to the stairs while I'm having food you immediately go into the touch position that I taught you, how we celebrate your birthdays for you every year, how others say you have the coolest pair of ears in the world, the sound your long nails make when you walk,

I will miss how you put your head down when I ask you to, the "who's your best friend?" trick, how I used to sneak you in my room when no one's at home, how you love to go for car rides, how you always mistaken the cars that you thought is mum's when we're going for walks and then you would run after the car,

I will miss how we used to practice agility every night, how you were so afraid of the tunnel but that time we finally got one at home and you actually liked it, how the word "cat" makes you go insane,

Thank you for appearing in my life, cos of you I get to make so make new friends and meet new people, especially in Pet-N-You.

Most of all, I will miss you

. It's only you, and no one could ever replace you in my heart.

Thank you for always being there, thank you for accompanying for the past 5 and a half years.

If it wasn't you, I will never be who I am today,

I will never forget you,

Even if you don't excel in any agility nor obedience,

You will always be the best dog ever in my heart, always.

I love you so much, and i'm so sorry.

Rest in peace, Happy.

2005 - 2011.

Dear Happy,

These words are definitely not close enough to how I really feel. But i'll try my best.

Thank you for...
...appearing in my life.
...always being there.
...always waiting for me to come home.
...accompanying me during walks.
...everything.

Happy,
No one could ever replace you in my heart.
Im really sorry. I hope it's nice where you are now.

You will be deeply missed.

I love you, always,
Jiayee.

Dearest Scruffy.

2011-02-14T23:34:00.001+08:00

I will miss how everytime you would greet me whenever you saw me,
how you always being the one right beside me when I'm in front of the porch,
how you would be under the table or right beside whenever I'm seated in the dining table,
how you were like the happiest dog alive whenever we come to visit when your owners are outstation,
how you like eating apples and always begging for more,
how you would drool whenever you see someone eating,
how tiny you really are whenever you're bathing,
how holding your leash could just drive you insanely happy,
how I pat you every night before I leave,
Last but not least,
How the goodbye yesterday and the look you gave us, was the last one.

May you rest in peace now, Scruffy.
You'll be remembered and dearly missed, always.

Drowning in all the tears,

Jiayee.

31st.

2010-12-31T09:53:00.004+08:00

Can you believe it? It's 31st on december again, always the last day of ever year. 2010, had been surprisingly amazing. We definitely have ups and downs throughout this whole year, we meet nice people, really nice people and then not so nice people. Even those whose reading our blog, you guys rock! We also learned that in life, Nothing is free. It's either you'd been working for that, or you probably just be a thief and steal haha. We wanna thank those who had helped us through just anything or everything, we really appreciate every single advice and encouragement you gave to us. You know how I used to hate school, I guess I'll feel that again next year, even more. Anyway, here's some pictures throughout the whole year. Have fun looking at them! This is the last post of the year!

Favourite photos, of the year. Back at may, during training.

Be best buddies with Russell, cos we're somehow always being tied up together.

We also did the amazing down stay for a photo. In support of groovy going to uk for agility championship competition. Just look at us.. we're amazing.

Meanwhile, we received the best.birthday.present.ever.for the human. from the cousin buddy's human! They just pop up in front of our house at night :D what a surprised!

Meet the gorgeous Eva and her amazing humans.

(p/s; my human were screaming in joy when they first you, yes. I believe she never touched a real sheltie before meeting you. poor poor human.)

Together, we make a quote of Marley & Me.

Also, we found out we have the same humans who Loves to do the same things with us. Like a sit stay.

And sometimes, I might look scary. But you know I'm not really scary.. just sometimes.. when someone wants to steal my sausages :)

But I'm definitely okay with sharing them with you. just.. not kimi.

Later on, I introduced Eva to my loving cousin, Buddy. Group photo.

The human ran the very first dog, at a first trial. freaking out.

Now, now, this is me :) at my very first trial. and then it was pretty much an epic failure :) but, we grew stronger and learn to get back up.

We found our one thing we want the most for the past 1 and a half year, The Tunnel that is :D we also named it ~~cookie~~ blue monster, since it's blue.

At Dogathon 2010 during August, for our very second trial.. wooo!

Met up with eva again, after a long time. Here's us doing the "whose your best friend?" trick.

And then with Basel. "The food is in the hands dude, not the other side."

Okay.. second trial.. FAIL. again.

But the humans got everything totally covered up at the back, having another dog to run? To be honest, Cami allow the human to have a race with her at the JWW course. I hope the human didn't ruin you cami! :) (ps; I got first with Cami, and -coughs-terminated -coughs- with this mutt :p)

Human's little cousin bro, comes here often to visit and so we had some fun.

I hate wet floors.We also had been helping with the housework at home for the past 1 month, since it's the school holidays and we're Always at home. Human mum, make used of human and a dog who stays at home too much.

And then, BAM!

It's Christmas.

Here's us wishing a

Happy New Year Eve humans with dog, and dogs with humans! :)

We hoped you enjoyed reading our blog this year and will continue doing it next year! We appreciate every comment you posted, even though we don't always reply to each of them. Have another great year with 2011!

(p/s; not all the photos belong to us, we're lucky to have amazing photographers as friends.)

Twenty-ten wouldn't be complete without people whose reading this,

Jiayee and Happy.

Heey people :) Sorry for the lacking of updates, videos and photos we promised, the sudden disappearance and for not visiting everyone's blog so often. That's why we told santa we didn't want anything for this year, due to all the broken promises. Well, we sort of didn't ask santa :P Anyway, everything's been good and boring. Can you believe it's Christmas already? Time flies, and yes we haven't send out our christmas cards Yet. That's why i'd been staying up to get it all done, I'm so sorry if you receive your christmas cards late this year. So, here's a few sneak peek photos, come back for more later on the day :) cya around! We'll be posting a lot of stuffs here today. and this is the first.

"A dog is one of the remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk." -O. A.

Our dogs are like our own reflections.But do we dare to look into their eyes and see our reflections?- Unknown

Favourite visitor of all time.

Happy.

The end.

2010-11-13T22:13:00.002+08:00

Went to the vets, going back again next week. Hopefully nothing serious. Got attacked by a rottweiler while going for a walk just now, fortunately wasn't hurt at all. stupid people not knowing how to handle their dogs are just stupid sometimes.

Just so you all know, school's officially over for this year. Surprisingly, I think I'm going to miss class and people this year. I swore, I skipped school as much as I could last year. Too early for a year end school holiday this year, and I really have nothing to do other than going to tuitions.Dear god, send me a puppy.

and I guess, every good thing must come to an end, no matter what.

Time

2010-11-03T01:05:00.004+08:00

Time.. time is flying by too fast. It's november, can you imagine how fast time flies?
I got a ride from a friend right after school on sunday, to go and look at puppies at the training ground as she goes for her classes.But sadly, happy didn't get the ride, but puppies? She don't like puppies, so I guess it's okay? :) To be honest, I really missed spending sunday mornings there meeting up people and dogs, my life is getting really boring without all these, especially agility.

Getting a free car ride to my school on a sunday. She gets to sit in front with mum, spoiled to the max.

(photo dosen't belongs to me.)

I'm so in love... with both of them.

Puppies... they drive me crazy in love. sigh.

Overloaded and that's why.

2010-10-24T00:24:00.003+08:00

So, I shall blog today. What I wanna say is..

I love this dog more each day. You know how would some pet owners, hate their pets if they'd did something wrong? The way I feel is the exact opposite. Happy had been acting rather weird, I wouldn't labeled her as "Aggressive". She's actually too timid to be one. It's totally fine, when she would avoid strangers or friends patting her, that's because she's afraid. But when the whole week, she go after dogs, children and people when we go for walks, or at home. It's really not okay, when she just dash out into the opposite neigbours just to bark at them, she even ran in their house just to bark at two strangers with a kid. The kid screamed and I cried, I couldn't control her. The whole week, I didn't knew what to do. Mum was thinking,maybe she's not getting enough to socialize. But I don't think that's it, she never acts that way when we stopped meeting up with other dogs on sundays. Even thought, she never goes along well with some dogs but she's not really that kind would just start a fight easily or chasing after people. There must be reasons and issues. But when I was asked to fix it, I'm completely stuck. To be honest, I don't know how to fix all these, sometimes I'm just so suck up with school with exams nearby. I know I could fix it later after exams are done, but what if it gets worse next week? What if, she just ran into someone or a dog, but I couldn't stop it? Others say, you shouldn't care what others think. But every time I see people with children and owners walking their dogs, they would react like as if she's some kind of monster. I would take a tighter grip on the lead, how did it end up like this.. I want to go back to how, "She's okay, she just has a really loud bark and a size of a not so tiny dog."

Life's good.

2010-10-16T23:05:00.002+08:00

Life's good.... well, mine is anyways.

See that brand new cool header above? Eva took that cool picture of what I love to do best at a trial, back on August. She and her cool camera rock.

Happiness.

“My dog, she looks at me sometimes with that look, and I think maybe deep down inside she must know exactly how I feel. But then maybe she just wants the food off my plate.”

"A dog is the only thing on earth, that loves you more than he loves himself."

-Josh Billings

Puppy love.

2010-10-01T22:13:00.006+08:00

What's with all these puppy talk these days? Well, just today a nice young lady came up and was holding a puppy and told us that it's up for adoption. and she asked if anybody we known of is looking of a puppy? Hah, you kidding? The human feels like giving the reply, YES, WE'RE THE ONE! but sadly, she said no, but asked a little about the puppy. Last sunday, we got back on training.. the truth is, I was just as usual being tied up, it's horrible.. now we don't even do agility. Kimi brought a long this little white jack russell pup, and then.. bang..You know how my human is a sucker for puppies. It won't stop jumping on my face, obviously I showed her whose the boss over there and she stopped and didn't want to get another inch closer to me. That day, the human went to a pet store, and guess what! There's a sheltie and a whippet puppy for sale.(but you know where all these innocent faces come from :\) She acts really like, she just met a border collie,when she looked at that whippet puppy. Then, she spent up to 20 minutes, staying there just watching. Till, human mum says it's time to go and then she even ask human mum about getting that puppy. Sadly, human mum takes no interest on that breed. Talking about border collies, kimi is getting a soon to be girlfriend, what more? Is a red and white border collie! Talking about long and sexy legs for a.. little dog. *laughs* *laughs* Umm.. I'm not the one excited to actually meet a real red & white bc, it's just that the human is the one typing it. makes me sounds, I'm just really looking forward to it.. oh well.. We don't have either photos of all the puppies we're talking above,cos of the human is a emotional freak that couldn't control her emotions towards puppies.. you don't keep a picture of something, if you can't have it.. that's just how sad the human is.btw, pet stores over here don't allow photos. But hey, photos of me are worth to collect tons..
Everyday, I can hear her asking, " So,you ready to have a little sister..or brother?"

But "Does that involved, sharing half of comfy bed?" No thanks..

Or maybe we could switch shifts for watching over the clothes drying outside for the human mum?

(in case it rains. realized it's all black today? It's cool friday.)

Not so bad.. having someone younger in the house, I could show whose the boss. it could be fun, after all.

Sounds a little impossible, to convince the human parents tho. Time to sing that song that the radio been playing lately by shontelle,~ Impossible..impossible.. impossible~

Happiness comes in many ways,

Happy.

Excuses, mooncakes and many more.

2010-09-25T01:05:00.007+08:00

With the human officially back to her normal boring school hours, leaving me ALONE at home, worse than wives waiting for husbands to come home from work. All I do is just, stuck at home and looked like a dog.*grumbles* Remember the trick video she promised to have it, at the end of school holidays? Don't blame me.. She have list of excuses for not updating my blog as often as she should be, same goes with the videos. Main one, Homework..comes home, supposed to be playing but instead.. doing the homework.. all this f-ing homework.. Not to say, she's a smarty pants, school freak or in other way, a Nerd. hah, definitely not. Just too much homework time, no more time for doggy? Anyways, it was mid autumn festival on wednesday for the chinese, who celebrates this festival.. where we used to eat together, meet up all cousins, lighting up lanterns with candles, eat mooncakes or just watch the full moon.. Sadly, this year is the Third year we're not doing all these, for all the reasons.

Since, we don't have any candles or lanterns at home.. but.. LOOK! they have it in the shopping mall!

Lighten up by the beauty of lights~

mm.. talking about mooncakes.. food. WAIT. what's this?? I can't bare my eyes, is it empty????!?

*I had been waiting for seconds, where's the release command??*

Other than that, I'm doing all good. notice a tiny hole on my head? Yeah, I started a dog fight one day while going for a walk. and totally owned it! heee, lately my human had been really worried and trying to have me get away with other dogs as far as possible ,afraid I might actually swallow their heads.. which I think I would do so. They deserved it, least I think so!

~Beware image might not be suitable for puppies, 12 months and below. ~

Did I mention, although there's not as much time as usual for doggy. I still hear her cursing the teachers and homework as she's doing it, during my afternoon naps.. Good to know, she still hates homework as much as I hate cats, and loves the dog! Before I end this post, the human was thinking if any other human knows there is any other movie maker is free to download, other than sony vegas pro 9 (we used up the trial version :P) would be appreciated!.. buying a mac book just to use imovie in it, is not working.. she would be broke... and I would run out of toys.. and not to mention.. treats. :(

HAPPY MID AUTUMN, LANTERN,MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!

whichever words your heart desires.

and in the real language,

中秋节快乐!

Happy & Jiayee.

Buddy's Big Four!

2010-09-09T23:59:00.003+08:00

My cousin, Buddy turns to the big Four today. Do you dogs feel like, it's a blog posting birthday wishes everyday? haha, I've got such a big heart, I just LOVEEE too many people and dogs :) So, here are so far our photo memories together.

We might always act like we don't know each other, everytime we met.

Sometimes, we might even have fights together

Even when I introduce my new friends to you.. it would be totally awkward,

Or sometimes, I might be a little too rough with you.

But sometimes, we also have good times together with our humans,

We're cousins at heart,

And will always be.

HAPPY 4TH BARKDAY, BIG GUY.

Another year filled with more loveeee, ya?

One and the same,

Happy.

More tricks, more treats.

2010-09-08T01:21:00.002+08:00

daiSince it's the school holidays.We've been learning a few tricks lately.. or like just whatever from that 101 dog tricks book. I Hate that book and she LOVES it. cos, guess what? It's official, I know the head down and shame and it's in one of her success stories about me now. Yayy for humans, boo for canine. Which make her just more in love with that book, and hunger for more new tricks. But if you're thinking why am I doing all of this extra work to put up with her clicker mood, Tricks = reward = food = me.

Per click, per treat. imagine 210 clicks in one day just for doing something over and over again?

mmm.. treats..

She can seriously put up embarrassing photos of me.

Guess what's the upcoming trick to be learn?

Watch the space for videos.

The one & only.

Happy.

You deserved to be happy as much as this.

What's the camera for anyway?

2010-08-12T23:49:00.005+08:00

Pictures that speaks a thousand words, pretty much.

Right after we got home from Dogathon.

We're trying different kinds of fun lately, kung-fu fighting with the frisbee is one of them.

“Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog;

but you’re never friendless ever, if you have a dog.”

P/s did they mention that they're shooting stars tonight? :)

So close and yet so far.

2010-08-08T22:34:00.012+08:00

Funny how there were so many things, that used to matter, but didn't anymore. But things that didn't seems to matter last time, matters a lot now.

Before we into the agility ring today, I thought we were soo ready. They didn't even have a tyre jump in the course! Till the few minutes before our turn, happy wasn't showing any interest in the food I'm holding. She was backing off, she didn't want anything. We walk in the ring, I put her down, preparing for the worst. She stare at me, jump over a jump and she's done. She ran around the ring like, she was herding those jumps. The first round, we tried 3 times and the second, I decided could she do the end the end of part of the course? I took her and she went in the tunnel and then she ran off again. I wasn't upset or anything, I was just disappointed. But with a dog that has so many problems, you just have to get used to be disappointed. So what's the big deal? It's not the first time others seen her running off like that before.

So, am I going home to train harder again?

The answer would more likely to be a no, she's taking a break from agility. In the mean time, we'll work on other stuffs like obedience, crate training and tricks too. Not sure if we're able to go training or maybe we should go anymore. Let's see how things work out, I don't think I got the
"don't stop believing feeling" in me. It takes time to get it back though. See everyone back in training maybe few weeks or maybe months time! Also, if anyone is interested to rent me a puppy/dog to me to do agility.. I would love to.. so umm.. ring me up? Getting able to run Russell and Cami was fun, thanks a lot for letting me run them! I was a little unsure about running Cami, she's so great and fast. and I wasn't at all ready to run someone's else dog,especially a fast and great one but thanks a lot to her human who taught me how to handle his little amazing dog :) The first impression, I ran her was like.. whoa, she's fast!
And,we also apologize for everyone to run around to chase after the crazy mad dog on the loose in the ring.

Well, thanks to eva's owners for taking this video. haha this is basically, the " Whose your best friend " trick!

-Jiayee.

Here we go again.

2010-08-05T02:12:00.003+08:00

So, it might feel a little weird to walk a dog in the school uniform in the morning.Still, I feel a lot better about getting to let happy before school.and and and I don't think she's really a morning ~~person~~ dog after all, haha.

We also work with the cat issue thingy today, well this is mizz green eyes kitty.It has to be pen-ed up a while, but later I took the box out, covered on top but she could still see the cat. She was a lot better than the first time I work on her with this, she didn't really bark much until the cat hiss at her. But there were improvements, she actually sit as I told her to and she respond me & the clicker, she also ate the treats with the cat around!! Such a good gurly! I was amazed a while! It's only the second time, I'm introducing her to the cat :) Still, we will have to work bit by bit on it.

Here we go again! second agility trial this weekend, wish us luck?

-Jiayee.

Today.

2010-07-28T22:47:00.004+08:00

Guess who came home right after school and got dead on the coach for the rest of the day and left me no walks and no toys in the crate? That's right, somebody caught up a virus and this is a good chance for the human parents to lock me up without starting a fight.

In other hand, it also means that staying away from the clicker awhile and start lying on the bed with a book for her or either, lying on bed with the laptop watching agility videos. At second thought, she's not really made of metal after all.

Weird enough to causing the lack of sleep.

2010-07-27T17:41:00.006+08:00

Wondering what the pawesome white mutt had been up to lately? Wonder no more!

Weird things had been happening around lately.

Here's me freezing the lion with my super powers.

I spent too much time with my toys instead of the food.

Guess where I found my enemy the other day? I knew she had been hiding away from me.The human is acting rather weird these days.Sometimes out of a sudden, she thought of weird games for us to play with.

see what I mean?

Well, this is called the act-like-you-are-a-K9-game.

See me drooling over in that photo?

You get to bite the human's arm.. wrapped in a towel*

Just so you know, I always wins the game. the human is just ohhhh so weak..

Did I also mentioned that she had been waking up way too early Every day? Well she is, I just need her to know that the school is really nearby that I don't think that's a need to wake up that early in the morning. Also weekends, is probably saturdays I get to sleep in.. till she decides that I'm over weight. time for more long walks. awesomeness? Then if you wonder why I had been running away a lot more lately in training, is probably because I want to go home.. [to be honest, there's a cat in the car park.] and continue my sleep. Blame it all on the human/cat whichever reasons above that make sense to you, for all my misbehaving.

And and and .. this is how I actually looks like before and after sunday training. you just couldn't missed a single second of sleeping in the car.

I better get off the computer and continue my sleep before the she decides that I shouldn't even be napping during afternoons instead I should do more training and running with her. Sometimes, I wonder if she's really made of metal and never gets tired?

More to tell soon,

The poor mutt,

Happy.

Cos the best things in life, don't come free.

How many times do you feel like giving up, but still holding on, staying strong? I'm so tired of hearing family members or others saying Bad dog. or family members would say "She's just a mongrel. Don't waste so much effort on a dog like this." Mum would say after the trial " She's just dumb, she couldn't do anything. I think she should stop training." Sisters would say " Noob dog, stupid dog." Before the trial, I told myself It's ok if she dosen't do well. It's alright. I told myself not to cry. That day I went home at night, I took her for a walk alone to the park. I unleashed her collar and let her ran. I myself, took off my slippers and ran the basketball court bare footed. I ran and kept running. Till my feet was finally hurting, I cried. I sat on the floor and cried, till my best friend came. She licked my face and just stared at me wondering what was wrong. I kept telling her it's ok, it's ok. but I wasn't.then I cried even more. That night, I cried to bed. After the next day, I kept asking myself "Why is other dogs getting better and better. and mine? Nothing changes.but gets better to worse?" I remember running the course for the first time with her. We got over time, I didn't called her or anything. I was nervous, I didn't dared to run. I was afraid. Then after that, I put her inside the crate. People came around asking me to talk to her, talk to her. you have to talk to her. I got even more nervous. The second round, she got better at first.I was still Really scare but I was talking to her. I thought she got better cos She was jumping and going in the tunnel smoothly, then we've to missed the tyre cos she was cared of it. Then we through in another tunnel and she didn't want to jump anymore She was trying to escape I kept calling her and she got over she look around and then I still kept calling her till she ran back to her crate. Then I looked at mr.chan and i took the leash, I saw the timer it says 42.56? and walk out the ring. I was completely disappointed then I feel like nothing but a failure.When I was leaving I saw the results on the board.. Others think it's just a waste of time. But can't they see it? I'm trying to fix things, I'm trying to help this dog.I love this dog with all my heart, I didn't cared how horrible she is. I'm trying to fix it. But why? Why another after another, it has to get better to worse. I'm trying really hard.. I'm trying to prove others wrong about her. but was I wrong now ? It frustrates how she could ignore other dogs in training and just listen to me or just do amazing at home but jumping in straight line in a trial is too much for her.I tried, I ignore what people said. I fell, but i got back up and I didn't give up.I really want to fix things, but I just don't know how to anymore.

Day 2.

2010-06-17T00:22:00.001+08:00

More jump drills! We added a bar.We did a little stay and come, not much obedience today.But jump drills are definitely looking good! And now for some great stuffs! We finally bought the Pvc cutter after pleasing the parents for ages!!Finally! we got it! :) we will build more jumps soon! Here's a video.

Day One.

2010-06-14T22:46:00.002+08:00

There is a video below to watch what we're working on today. I might be posting videos everyday,so you guys could watch what we're working on daily. The videos are being posted on youtube, but you only could watch when you've the link. So if you search it on my channel, there will probably won't be any videos that I posted over here :) Just thought you guys might wanna know this.

Day 1- Today, we work on sit stays and when being called we added another down stay on it. So you might see why I released her and command her to hold, and then a down in the middle. We'll be working wraps and turns by using Silvia Trkman's cik&cap method. I haven't come up with names for the right and left turns yet, so I was just saying "right" and "left" in the video.

Unsure.

2010-06-13T21:08:00.004+08:00

Hey there. Is happy's human here, I will be taking over Happy's blog for a while from now. Just this morning, hap went for her usual training at bricks field .As all of you know, she runs off least once or twice in the training grounds.Today, she was really misbehaving, she ran off whenever she has the chance. At first, I thought it wasn't a really big deal since she was just running off out the field to chase cats in the car park. I had been thinking a lot today, then I realised it Has to be a serious problem and it needs to be corrected before it gets worse. She dosen't wants to come when being pulled, she's a really stubborn dog. I have to carry her every time she does that. On that point, it was a really terrible mistake. When time passes by, she will learn that if she dosen't want to walk, my human will carry me there, and so it will gets worse. I'm not sure she really likes agility anymore, or she's just doing it for my sake. She really Wasn't focusing today, it's really disappointing somehow.I wonder if I'm pushing too much? I don't know anymore, but we'll try anything that's possible to fix it.Furthermore, we're really having high chances on entering her very first trial at an event called Pet World 2010, is being held every year. We might be entering basic jumpers class, which we're allow to be on lead and bringing treats and toys into the ring, which is mainly why I wanted to give it a try for her, since they allow food in the ring.There will only be jumps, tunnels, spread jumps, long jumps and tyre jumps, in that course. But after what happened today, I'm really not sure if I should enter her in anymore. It's a difficult decision. Other than that, we should Really work on our OB, it's extremely bad =P. And so that, we will spend least 10 or 15 minutes to pratice our sit and down stays and comes. We are mainly focusing on stays and come because that should help by when she runs off and I could have a slight chance of having her stay and come back to me. Least, doing it for 3 times per day. As for Agility, it's all about fun. We will set up all kinds of jump and tunnels sequences courses at home and the open field. And I will also work on some jump drills.To know more bout jump drills, click on it :). I think that's all for now, i'll be updating on how all the training seasons at home goes! All these running off and misbehaving out the house is really too much.We need to get it fixed, before everything's too late. Happy won't have her blog back till her human says OK! Hope all the effort is worth it!

Before I end this post, a big shout out to Eva! She did amazing at her graduation test today! She passed her test with flying colours by scoring an 94/100! A really well done job for a 6 months old puppy! Her humans sure put a lot of pratice and effort on it! She make us all proud! The future is looking bright for this puppy :) Well done again!

Signing off,
Jiayee.

New Moon Fanatic. Grr-eat.

2010-06-12T03:34:00.008+08:00

This is just grr-eat. Guess who pop onto the front gate on wednesday? Buddy's owner! If you don't know whose Buddy, well he's a handsome husky and my cousin (: Anyway, back to where I was about to say. Also, she pop into our front gate and then here comes the human taking in a plastic bag. The moment she open it, all I know she was screaming and jumping up and down all excited like she there was a brown border collie in it. Later on, all I know was what.. what... was it? Oh it's just .. a New moon dvd and a really huge poster. Ohh I'm sure she's mad, somebody call the mental problem hospital and send her in there please.By the way, do check out my awesome pond,I extended it and bought another 4 fishes to keep another 4 accompany! They're pretty aren't they? all different colours! You can feed them but Only with fish food (: [Translate it, if you wanna know the meaning of the title I put for my pond] And then, she make me take photos with that scary huge poster! so here it goes..

I'm Not a new moon fanatic At all.

I wasn't looking at Taylor Lautner honestly. I was looking at that poor wolf

Hey wolf, poor you getting stuck inside the poster!

This is just horrible! How many more photos do you need!

OHHH look a bird!

Trying to put my beautiful paw prints on it..

OOHH I thought it was a mat. Oh nvm!

[sceretly attempting to squash it. ooh i forgotten it's flat.]

I hope she donsen't ask me to accompany her to watch the dvds.Oh Hope not.If she does, I let you all know by howling! Keep your ears clean hounds and make sure you send a few wolves or vampires to save me.

By the way, I heard FIFA World Cup 2010 had already started on Africa? I'm not really sure whats so nice about it, I'm no biggie fan but I do like to chase footballs! I thought the photo above was kinda Lame, the human edited it. Lame much! ..Humans..

Bark bark bark,

Happy.

A day to tell.

2010-06-08T02:50:00.006+08:00

OHHHH.. IT'S GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT to be BACK to be blogging again! Finally, exams are over for the human. So we could get back on the computer again and again and again. We have so many due posts! But since the human is extremely lazy to post all the photos. There will only be photos of Sunday! it was such a paw-tas-tic day! till i ran off.. and i get tied up with some other dogs. It was certainly NOT nice at all for the human to do that to me. I meant what did I do wrong? I just ran off and she just chased me across the field, I mean I let you do some running on every sunday! and you don't even appreciate it and tied me up!Still, me and Eva was forced to do stays with the evil human. She thinks she can handle two dogs at one time, with a stick and sausages. yea rightt.. we will Never listen to her....

Later,

OHH SAUSAGE! she gave us the "you better not run off" look. So both of us will extremely scared she might not give us the sausage and stick so we stayed obediently.

sausage hunting.

When I was being tied up, the humans had been training, taking photos, videos of eva. and I was barking like a mad dog at the background. btw, she got it on tape. so you might hear a sweet sound of dog barking that must be me :) [-coughs-more like mad dog]

I have to admit she really has a glossy coat, but hey.. my coat are white too and they do looks glossy under the sun sometimes.

Back at home,I found something really interesting on the plant to play with during my walk. So I brought it back to my bed.

~ohh caught in action!-

I didn't want the human to know, or she might take it away. so I quickly post a smile for the camera.

UH OH.. here she comes!

.No time to hide! i'll just post for the camera and act like nothing and hopefully she wouldn't realised the tiny green ball. SAY CHEESE!

And did I told you I got this new toy. I think I'll name it the akc toy. Since it wrote AKC on it, it stands for American Kennel Club. I wonder why can't it be HKC?

Happy Kennel Club? I just don't understand. Oh wells, the human LOVES this toy like more than I do.Sometimes, I even have to growl at her tells her thats MY toy NOT hers.

She says I only can play with it when it's training time and other time she'll keep it inside the house. I wonder if she sleeps with it on her bed? since she love that toy so much? I mean who knows? Is in the house and I'm not always inside the house

This really freak me out a while! it's float...ing!

Nowadays, I barely get to go inside the house when human mum's home.She says I shed too much, and no matter how hard I try I just COULDN'T get in the house. Not even opening the door works, I think it's locked. Last time they used to forget to lock the pad locks and I get to open it and sneak in.. I missed those

days.

Not even putting the puppy look helps too..

Even when I got inside the house, I couldn't have a good sleep. All thanks to my human. I don't like her when she reading those novels and story books she bought. she reads them and start laughing out of all sudden. I thinks she's a mad human being.

Would you be just shut up and read your damn book Quietly? I'm trying to sleep here!

Seriously, One more time I hear you laughing. I'm gonna rip this book off when you're asleep!

and I think the human is stupid to sleep with MY TOY. But least, i have other 3 to sleep with. there's Mr.ducky, Mr.sg burger[ the human got it from singapore so i just named it sg burger] and fart toy [he squeaks sounds like fart so i named him fart toy.]

and here's the video! take note the beautiful [mad] barking dog at the background!

Till the next post,

Happy.

Did someone say Food?

2010-05-28T15:11:00.000+08:00

Here are some photos of what I've been up to lately.

The human made a birthday card.. for a friend.

The only thing is nice about it. Cos it has my face on it.

Then she found A cool dog treat recipe from a blog, where she's looking at hillcrest border collies.

I think she called it Frosty paw.Click on it for the recipe :)

Later on she tries to torture me with it. and this is the picture where she asked me to leave it. then she kept on mumbling "You want it..You want it?"

and again...

I swear I could kill someone right now.

Can't ... stand... it ... any.... longer... call.. the.. animal police...

AND FINALLY, she gave the "ok"

So, I started to eat!

You've to close your eyes to enjoy it.

I guess that's all for now peeps! hope you enjoy the photos of how my human torturing me with food, please ring spca/paws up for animal abuse if anybody would like to help the poor dog.Anyways, Time to get back some serious study. "OHHH This gotta be my favourite chapter! FOOD! mm.. smells funny.. I wonder if it's edible?"

Before I end this, here's a the proof of how evil the human can be sometimes and definitely someone taught her this.Saying all the alphabets out and then it makes me blur she have to say OK two times. Till I get it's OK to eat now. Which is Exactly what happened to kimi last time. Poor us.

Sunday, agility addiction.

2010-05-23T14:42:00.000+08:00

We skipped class today, although the owner manage to wake up early.But human mum Didn't want to fetch us there.so end up, we both fell asleep in the living room while waiting for human mum reply which was an Obvious NO. but we still waiting hoping she would changed her mind. [and that was a stupid idea.cos human mum never changes her mind in anything she says NO] I don't think we'll be going on next sunday too, cos the human has to study for her mid term exams [GOOD FOR YOU =)] and mum's going out station which means there will be no transport again, I'm going to miss everybody so much especially trying to get into troubles with them..and watching little Eva learning new stuffs and Most of all, the sausages I get to eat every sunday... ohh gonna miss them SO much! Anyways, my human had been working on another video of me yesterday night, check it out above. I think I look pretty good on the video though, as for the human.. hmm.. I prefer cutting her off the clips of the video. But since there's no idea how we could do that, I'll just let her to be in the video.[Just notice what shes wearing all sort of clothes, after school, after tuitions, after dinner.. you just cut her off in the video!] and in the video you can see, she made me worked A LOT on weaves and tunnels.I thought it was just boring, cos i learned that before. Ohhh except the tunnel.. she got that tunnel a month or two back, and she's able to overcome my fear of that scary tunnel which she was Extremely happy! good for her, means more treats for me! and weaves, since a lot of her youtube friends had been posting videos on teaching their dogs to weave with 2x2 method and she was so impressed so she just Have to try it on me too expecting that I would go faster and have amazing weaves entries just like other dogs in the videos. who I'm kidding? me? I already know how to weave since like the first time she taught me, just that I was fooling her around all the time makes her work extremely hard on me. It was fun, i get a lot of treats and rewards. mmhmm.. and the look on her face every time I got the weaves right is just priceless. ohh by the way, she wanted to build steel base weave poles..later on, she found out that it wasn't that kind you can buy it from the hardware stores so she took the parts out from the jump and make them as the base for the weaves. which means we didn't work on jumps for months boohoo.. Next up.. 6 weaves! This blogging thing about weaving is real boredom,you can see my expression in that photo. anyways,time for much-needed nap! Chiao!

Tiny bits of ♥,
Happy.

New blog on the block!

2010-05-22T02:35:00.000+08:00

Hello every dog, cat, bird, rat and any other pets out there. Here's my lastest and newest blog. My human decided to have another new blog instead of trying to fix the old blog. And you just have to listen to your human.Anyways, above is a picture of me drooling over a treat and trying really hard to put on a smile. That's all I gotta say.. will update more soon..
