Elly and Elsa again...

it's been a week since we adopted elly and elsa.. quite a rough start with their bladder control problem, but they're progressing well now =) and i'm amazed by the speed of their progress... getting more attached to me as well.. but too aggressive when it comes to meal time.. need more training...

they're always squeezing their way through the grill so my dad fixed a fence there to prevent them from coming in and injuring themselves when they get stuck halfway...

unfortunately...


the fearless puppies tried even harder....


and harder.... and eventually, elsa succeeded to come in... the metal fence is now bended...


caught them sunbathing this morning.. elly is always sleeping on elsa...

oh yeah, i forgot to snap a picture of what happened to my old pair of sandals while i was out today... badly bitten.. not hearthache cause i no longer wear it.. and we went to hunt for toys for them while we wait for my mom to bring back the toys she already bought...


and we managed to find the ideal toy at an ideal price.. hehe.. only RM9.80 for 2..

i was really curious about how they would treat the toy... elly wasn't really interested in it at first until elsa took the yellow one..elly then fought over it with elsa...


and finally, they both took one each... not fighting...





but they chose to fight over one in the end..


guess that makes it more fun and exciting?


they just love to share..i mean fight..


finally, elly got tired...


and elsa too.. observe her sleeping position.. truly amazed me !! what an off position she was sleeping in...

brought them to the vet for deworm and vaccination the other day.. elly has got an imperfect spinal cord which caused her tail to be still.. somewhere, something, at the end of her spinal cord is broken resulting in inability to control her bladder as well..all the more we're glad we didn't just bring elsa back.. but i can see her progressing well so far..

we went collar hunting for them.. not that many choices for the size we wanted to buy so we bought two black ones...


and dog licence as well...

guess that's all for their updates...

went to college today after church for the heel-a-thon event in in conjunction with 100th anniversary of international women's day organised by my college with the perak women's association... it was quite a big event.. not bad though... joined the final flag off...not on heels though, just shoes =p

guess that's all for now.. till then !

day 2 with elly and elsa...

breakfast menu - dutch lady low fat milk with pedigree biscuits.


as usual, they were sharing again..

they've started to behave mischievously already by biting and chewing on stuffs...


caught elly biting the shoe rack..the blur 'thing' at the corner of this picture is elsa...

then came dinner time..
tonight's menu - rice with minced chicken meat and baked beans


finally, they were at their respective plates.. but ended up sharing..

elly and elsa turned hyperactive after dinner and they chased and bit each other non-stop..must be carbo rush...


elly biting elsa's ear...


elsa closed her face in embarrassment cause she was losing the fight... i think elly's the stronger one tonight..


shoe rack turned bed for elly...


elsa's innocent look..


tilt your head to view this picture.. i don't know why i just can't get this picture right.. after playing for about 30 minutes or more, they finally got tired and slept...




about half an hour ago, elsa was whining to come in... she was desperate but only her head could go through...


and elly followed suit..

here's a short video of part of their 30 minutes play time after dinner...



that's all for now..till then !

Elly and Elsa

i was supposed to go to kampar with my dad this morning (saturday) to see our potential new puppy till my friend, preyah said there are some stray puppies behind her house.. she asked me before when i just lost my dog but i wasn't ready to get another dog yet.. so we went over to preyah's place in the morning to see the puppies before going to kampar...

and there....


meet elsa... she was really shy ...


and timid...

according to preyah, there were about 6 puppies and elsa was one of the final two left so we asked to see the other sibling as well..


on the way to the place where the puppies were kept, we saw elsa's brother in one of the neighbours' house..


then came the mother..i guess the mother has really strong genes..look at the brown spots..


avoiding the puppies from getting her milk...


elsa...

and here comes......


elly =)

not as beautiful as elsa at first sight.. but she seemed really pitiful too..we couldn't bear to separate the two sisters cause preyah said they were really close so after considering, we decided to take both...




they love sleeping on each other...

elly urinated in the car on the way back home.. she's even shyer than elsa... and when they reached home, the first place they went to was...


under the car !! well, least they have each other... but because of that, they didn't want me at all =(

so the most normal thing to do to bait the dog out would definitely be...


food !! hehe.. they must have been hungry... i was surprised that elly ate more than elsa cause elsa is fatter than elly...


they love to share... the phrase 'sharing is caring' definitely applies to them...


elly finishing up the biscuits..


elsa..


elly...

my dad and i bathed them both...


and they stayed in the cage for a few hours...


guess they felt much safer and more secure in there...


dinner time !






they just love to share... i had a hard time separating them to their respective plates... they got so frightened and hid under the car when i tried to separate them... but in the end, they finished their food...

elly and elsa have already started chewing on my slippers..time to keep all our shoes and slippers out of their reach.. elly suddenly got friendly with me after several hours and i was really happy.. she even played chase with me.. but at the same time, elsa kept chasing after her and biting her ears.. elly bit her back and all of a sudden showed anger towards me when i wasn't even touching her.. guess she got irritated by elsa biting her non-stop? and the ticks (i think, cause i couldn't see it) which gave her constant itch... she looked so scary !!! think i've not seen a puppy as fierce as her...


elsa biting elly


still biting... her ears...

it's 1.24am now and i just heard some whining, growling and barking outside.. wonder what was happening.. oh, i forgot to say, they were both whining and crying this afternoon.. sounded kinda funny though... and of course, cute...

never have i thought that i would have two dogs.. biological sisters...i believe they'll grow to quite big in size (hopefully not too big) and my house porch is going to be more crowded... and i hope i'll be able to manage my time better and filling it by doing something more worthwhile than sleeping... cause life at home without a dog is basically just studying, watching tv, online and sleeping...

about 5.5 years ago, we had our first dog, saffy and we lost her in less than 2 years due to an accident... 3 months later, we found crystle... and when crystle went missing, 3 weeks later, we got 2 puppies... it'll never stop once you start... and it's all over again now, back to start... with lots of lessons learnt..

getting these 2 new puppies doesn't mean i've lost hope in waiting for my dog, crystle to come back.. the gate would be wide open for her if she ever finds her way home... and i don't mind having 3.. all the more reason i have to stay back in ipoh..

i really wish the incident of crystle going missing didn't happen.. but wishing that wouldn't change a thing... i think i'm still struggling to accept how it happened.. i know many people out there would think that i'm giving myself false hope and that i should just let go and that she'll never come back.. i believe she's somewhere near and when she's let loose one day, she'll definitely find her way home, unless she has forgotten us... if that's so, i'll have nothing to say....

and i hope, when crystle comes back one day seeing the two dogs, she wouldn't think she's being replaced... i know she's a jealous dog.. she can never be replaced and i hope she knows that...

here's a picture of crystle, to show that she's not forgotten....


one of the last pictures i have of her...it's really hard to get her to look at the lens..
i still miss her like crazy..... let me know if you see her anywhere..i'm still looking for her...

God has really been teaching me many life lessons this year - tough ones... i know everything happens for a reason and i can't wait to put the pieces of jigsaw puzzles together to see the whole big picture of God's perfect plans for me...

guess that's all for now.. till then!
