Kero goes on an adventure!

Last Sunday, we ditched my big brother, shushu at home and went for a CKCS gathering in KL.

Abu and juliet's mummy was very nice to come all the way from KL to Ipoh, to be our guide (as my master is direction blind!). We started our journey around 11am and reach KL at about 1pm. We also stop by Setapak to pick up my aunt, chelsea and her human, Hun.

We reached the gathering place after 2pm. There was lots of ckcs there!
Abu and juliet proceed to get acquainted with the other ckcs while i was quite shy at first.


Another sniffing session


There was lots of food there and we got to have some too!


There was a nice pool at the gathering place and we get to swim in it.
(p/s: Actually, it was more like the human keep throwing us inside the pool and we, the doggies keep swimming frantically back to the shore - evil humans!)


A few of the lucky ones get to escape the dunking session and were placed in boat!


Abu was not so lucky in this picture - he was in the process of being carried to the middle of the pool to be dunked.


A very wet abu after being dunked in the pool!


Mummy, mummy - kero wants to be carried too!

Here a short video of the gathering :)


At around 5 something, it is time to go home and the humans towelled us dried.


We have a wonderful time at the gathering. I met so many relatives and got a chance to test my swimming (dunking) skill. Thanks to Jean and Derrick for inviting us and thanks to abu's mummy, elaine for accompanying us on the journey.


Love,
Kero

p/s: the photos are taken by elaine, suki, beckz, pickers and jovian as kero's mummy was too busy supervising her kepoh son during the gathering to take much photo. Thanks for letting me use the photos on the blog!

Kero's first visit to the groomer

Last Sunday, I decided to bring shushu and Kero to the groomer. This will be Kero first visit to the groomer while it is be shushu's 4th visit.

Before going to the groomer, I took kero to shushu's training class for some socialisation. There, he was quite curious of other doggies but when other human approach him, he tend to shy away from human. He keep looking for shushu and me while we were doing our training. He was very quiet but curious throughout the class, only near the end of the class, Kero become bored and started barking for attention.

After the training class, it was time for the grooming session. I brought both of them to a new groomer called Pet Image for grooming. There was 2 poodle there first so we had a wait a while for our turn. Both Kero and shushu were quite happy to explore the new place, running here and there. The groomer was a friendly person and she gave them some water and a squeeky toy to play with and they happily obliged.

Finally, it is Kero turn but when the groomer wants to bring kero to the grooming table, he quickly hide in his carrier and refused to come out at all. The groomer has to pull him out from his carrier..... Kero look very scared when he was on the grooming table. Throughout his session, he didn't dare to move but keep his gaze on me. Awww, poor thing!

Shushu, on the other hand, was happily greeting everyone and even tried to jump on the groomer. When Kero went into the grooming room, shushu also wanted to go in and he keep jumping at the glass window to look at kero. I have no choice but to leash him back and keep him at my side as I am afraid that he will break the glass window.

After a while, it was shushu's turn and he ran happily into the room. However, he was so energetic inside, it take just 1 groomer to keep him still while the another one to trim his fur. Throughout the grooming session I can hear shushu barking while the groomer told him no. Naughty fella!

Finally, both of them are done. They feel so soft and smell so nice!

When we reach home, both of them was so tired they just plopped down and sleep.

spot the dog....


tired kero just refused to come out but straight away zzzzzzzz


tired but happy shushu


napping time!


p/s: I forgot to bring the camera out hence only took some picture of them when we are back!

Chinese New Year celebration

Hello, this is shushu. Our owner is feeling much better now so she help me to update our blog a bit. I am going to tell you all a little bit of my CNY celebraton.

For reunion dinner on Wednesday, I was very sad as I got left at home while our owner brought kero back to her hometown. Though she cooked me a very delicious dinner and gave me a big bone to chew before she left, I still feel very sad. I heard that there was a lot of food for reunion dinner (3 tables long) and I wasn't there.

The food served on reunion dinner


Well, if i was there, I would have beg everyone and I am sure I will get lots of tidbit of the delicious food there. The only consolation I had is that I heard Kero was caged inside the crate during the dinner. He didn't get to taste those food also.

Kero watching from his crate while everyone dig in


(owner: Kero was very shy when we were at the hometown. Even though I left the travelling crate door wide open, he refused to come out and will only peek from his crate. I think he was a little overwhelmed with the people - i have a huge family there!)

However, I got to visit the hometown for the 1st day of CNY. Yay!
Our owner and miss sister came back from hometown early in the morning to fetch me. We reached the hometown again late morning. There were really a lot of people around so our owner set up a playpen for us and dressed us nicely in CNY costume. Everyone came and look at us. I was very happy with all the attention, while kero is still shy and he keep sticking close to me. Grandma came and gave us a angpow!





By afternoon, the weather was really hot - even with a portable fan blowing at us, we feel so lazy and tired.



Kero even took a long nap. I couldn't take any nap at all coz everytime i wanted to close my eyes, the little cousins will come and look at me. Do they want to play with me? but everytime I invite them (bark!) they will run away again. Hmmmmmm.............. Miss owner said my big size and loud bark scared them away. She then took off our costume coz it was very hot and gave us some ice to cool us down. That was nice!

In the evening, we had a BBQ dinner. I can smell wonderful smell from outside and got very excited.




Miss owner (and the small cousins) gave me lots of sausages to eat - it was very delicious. Some of the cousins were now braver and they even climb inside the playpen to play with me.



I was very happy.


Kero, however, was deemed cute and he was passed from one relative to another who was taking turn to hug him. He doesn't look very pleased though, hehe....



After the BBQ, we travelled back to Ipoh. We all sleep like baby when back. It was very tiring but fun.

ISPCA food and fun fair event - 3/12/2007

Last weekend, we brought shushu to the ISPCA food and fun fair event. The event supposed to start at 9.30am but we arrive earlier, around 9am. There were already lots of people there. We can see a lot of doggies and the owners walking around.


The event started with a introduction of various breed of dogs by the MKA. The owners sportingly parade their dogs around the field while the crowds look on.


We spotted 2 borzoi there. (First time seeing them, very graceful and elegant creatures)

Another angle


The friendly mastiff


wow, the chihuahuas gang!

Most of the chihuahuas come with costume to participate in the dog fashion show event later. Some close-up of the chihuahua- this one look sleepy

Shushu went to the event with his trusty backpack.

There was also a children colouring competition with the subject "me and my pet". Some artist were also kind enough to donate some paintings of dogs to raise fund for the charity. The dog paintings for sale were placed at the stairs in the picture below


During the event, ISCPA also brought some puppies for adoption drive and those who adopted the puppies will also get free training from MKA. We saw the puppies - they were fat and cute. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to take any photos. :(

After that, there were some demo by the MKA obedience team, starting from beginnner to intermediate level. Luckily shushu did ok in the demo (I brought some "char siu" (sweeten pork) just in case to tempt him into obedience!)


We didn't stay until the pet fashion show as shushu was fussing so we left early. Overall, it was a good event and it was fun to bring the furkids out for a family outing, especially it is being held in Ipoh. We hope there will be more pets event in Ipoh and we could participate again next year.

Happy shushu saying goodbye!


Update: 13/12/2007
The event was featured in The Star Metro North yesterday. :)

The house just got a bit merrier

Hi! This is shushu again....

Yesterday my master and miss sister went away in master car in the morning and only come back late at night. Hmmph! Where did they go and they leave me home alone during deepavali!

Well, when they did come back, somebody follow them home.

See the picture below!

Who is this little fella? Did he got lost and come home with my master?

Then my master explained to me that he is to be my new little brother. Wooohooo, I was very happy and gave him my famous welcome - "The shushu nonstop barking!" Well, unfortunately, the welcome was too energetic and he got a little bit scared.

Master didn't let me go near him as he is still recovering from some infection and she doesn't want it to spread to me also. Little brother is to be quarantine until he recovers first. I can only look at him from afar - i keep inviting him to play with me but then master scolded me again coz I was being very noisy......

Master said little brother need some rest as he was very tired travelling all the way from KL. master said he was very quiet the whole journey home and didn't puke or whine. He just lay on master lap and sleep like this.....

He look so blur in the morning

Oh ya, my little brother has no name yet. My master is still deciding coz she said she wanted to pick the name more carefully so he doesn't end up with a girly name like me (sweat! hey you are the one who give me that name...hmmmph) Miss sister suggested we named him Milo since we have Milk / susu (ahem - shushu) at home already. What do you all think? Give me your suggestions! My master will decide the name on Sunday!

KKB outing and Samseng Shu

Last Saturday, we brought shushu to Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) for a swim. The outing was organised by Lowyat Net's Pet Wonderland forummers. We started the journey from Ipoh at 7am and reach Batu Caves about 9.40am. Shushu was very excited throughout the journey.

How come so long one? Are you all sure you are going on a correct direction? (shushu kepo-ing)


I am going swimming lor! Yay, so happy can smile until eyes also cannot see liao


hmmmm, I better double check and make sure my master brings all my gear!


When we reach Batu Caves, the group has already left! ooops.....Luckily Celine's mom and dad turn back and guide us the way so we were the last to reach the picnic spot.

This the the gathering at Batu Caves that we missed - look very festive!(pictures from hamster9)


The first person we saw were Prince and Prince's pappy! Prince is very handsome but looks a bit thin lor! Prince pappy didn't give enough for Prince to eat kah? jk (><) Prince is very "guai"(obedient) and friendly to everyone.

This is the first time shushu went swimming. He just followed the other doggies and jump into the river! After a little while, he started swimming happily in the river. We were glad to see him taking to the water so easily.

However, shushu was very naughty! After swimming a while, he started barking at the nearby dogs while swimming near them. He even chased the other doggies and barked at them while swimming! I think he really annoyed quite a number of doggies there. We really have a tough time keeping him in control! I was quite angry at him. He is so naughty he should changed his name to Samseng Shu next time!

p/s: We didn't take any pictures during the outing, so we were waiting for the others to upload their pictures first! Here are some photos taken from others (hope they don't mind me using it!)

Saw this picture in Prince's blog, don't know if this is shushu or not!


After struggling with him for quite some time and realised that he would not stop his annoying barking, we decided to call it a day and when home at about 1 something pm. The sky has turn gloomy on our way back and it started to rain heavily.

Samseng Shu was quite tired (after all the swimming and barking nonstop) so he dozed off during the journey home. He didn't even uttered a sound the whole journey back, even when I was away in a nearby petrol station to change my wet clothings.


I really hope if we do bring him to other outing next time, his samseng-ness don't appear again, or else.....no more outing for him until he learns some manners! I also want to say it is nice meeting so many people and furkids at the outing and very sorry we could not chat much.
