HAPPY MUMMY'S DAY

Dedicating my first post after my blog revamp last night to one of God's greatest gifts to me in my life :



HAPPY MUMMY'S DAY !!!! =) Of course I haven't forgotten to wish you. I was just busy doing this.. hehe. Just a simple picture of all your darlings. Hope you'll like it ! Thanks for everything !! =)

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!

great fish vs whale

it took me 12 years to realise that the bible didn't mention that Jonah was swallowed by a whale....

But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
- Jonah 1:17 (NIV) -

see how interesting the bible can be??

another life lesson..

after receiving several undeserved favours, i have now received what i deserve... i failed my exams.. 100% failure - cause i sat for 2 papers, and failed both... it's my first failure since my first driving exam (excluding all the mock exams which i failed most of it).. i'm ok though..checked my results during the midnight as usual.. the moment i saw my results, it just 'hit' me, telling me it's time to get serious and study harder and smarter.. cause i've been slacking and taking it lightly last semester.. i just feel bad and guilty that i've wasted my dad's money...

i'm determined to do it much better this june.. thinking on the brighter side, it's good that i failed cause even if i've passed it, i don't seem to have any knowledge of those 2 papers..i seriously didn't study well enough... hope the knowledge i need would be well enhanced this time and i thank God for giving me the determination to study better and yet, another life lesson...

truly, He gives me countless reasons to be thankful for - good times, bad times...in every single situation... GIVE THANKS.

it's been a happening month for me.. first i lost my dog, then i failed my exams.. i wonder what's next.. i believe God wants to mould me and train me to be a stronger and better person.. this new year seemed really new this time.. my life seems so different compared to last year.. yet i know, He has the greatest plans for me for only He knows what's best for me..

watched "sanctum" last night and the ticketing guy thought i was underage.. haha.. it's been a while since i passed the age to watch movies with the "18 something" label.. it was quite a hilarious scene and indeed a compliment for me =p sanctum was a good movie, if you like adventure movies..

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

p/s. been almost 2 weeks since my dog went missing and i'm still waiting for her... someone saw a dog like mine in first garden, someone else saw another one like her in bercham but nobody saw her near my area.. i wonder where she is now...

96 hours

it's been about 96 hours now....

i wonder
where she is...
how she is...
is she hungry?
is she sick?
is she injured?

or is someone taking good care of her? i'm still waiting with hope.. must have been 96 rough hours for her... i'm sure she misses us as much as we miss her... and i really hope she's safe...

p/s. God is mysterious and sometimes it's hard to accept what He has willed and planned... i'm still learning....

still missing...

it's been about 19 hours since we found crystle missing.. i wonder where she is.. hiding somewhere, wandering about outside, kept by someone in the house ?? i just hope she's safe cause she definitely doesn't know how to cross the road well.. i pray that she'll come back soon safely... i dreamed she came back and i really hope it's not just a dream.... she must be hungry =(

God, please bring her home safely.....

Crystle is MISSING ='(

Crystle's been missing for a few hours... i've no idea where she is now ='(

went to penang this morning, came back at about 9.30pm and she was nowhere to be seen.. the gate was properly closed so there's no way she could squeeze out at all.. the only possibility is that she could have jumped up the cage by the wall and over to my neighbour's house and ran out somewhere... it's all because of the fireworks - her biggest fear.. it's especially loud and horrifying for her tonight...

we've searched everywhere we could but still no sight of her.. all we can do now is just pray and hope that she's safe and that she'll find her way back home soon.. and i strongly believe that she'll come back soon.. i'm not ready to lose her...

please pray for her safety and that she'll be able to find her way back home.. thanks...

p/s. i hate fireworks..

all about Crystle on CNY eve....

almost everyone has a new hairdo for this chinese new year and my doggy, crystle is no exception, only difference is, it's fur-do instead...

i gave her a fur-cut this morning with the help of my dad who caught hold of her while i did the cutting... here's the result :



what do you think?? hehe.. the 'before' picture was actually taken in october when she had a serious fur-fall due to the ticks problem so she was kinda bald then.. it's not really a comparable picture but the most comparable i could find..

oh how i enjoy grooming her.. the best part about cutting your dog's fur is - no complaints about bad haircut no matter how bad it may seem.. i can cut however i want to as long as i think it looks good so yeah, i'm proud of it =)

captured some pictures after bathing her... you have no idea how difficult it is to get good pictures of her looking at the camera or at least facing it...


wet look..


on 2 legs...


her eyes were fixed only on one thing actually - treat !


see the trimmed tail.. hehe







and when night came, the noise of the firecrackers came as well and that's one of her biggest fears...

she entered the house and refused to go out...


we usually forbid her from entering the house but this time, we pitied her...


then she got comfortable on the rug..


camera shy...


and she went inner and inner..


and dosed off...


this is still her current position...

when CNY begins, nightmare begins for crystle....

p/s. chea, her ears are still the same size... it's the trimmed fur which made it look smaller! haha...
