Sandy's prayer for 2010

"As I lay me down to sleep;
I pray dear Lord my food will keep;
And I do earnestly pray that when I wake
A family, waiting for me, will take

I have learnt to sit and sometimes paw
And still learning so much more
Walk on leash, Don't pull, Don't rush
Don't bark, well not much :)

The newspaper is my bane
I find it so funny, its like a game
But the cross looks from eveyone when I pee
Tells me, Oops, Uh oh, but huh, I still don't see ....?

Its not easy but I'll try
If that makes me more adoptable??.. sigh
I'm still young and have time
One day I'll be in my prime.


I know I don't look like the other pups
Who have floppy ears and soft goofy looks
Umm, I once had that
But then I grew

And now have BIG ears
That points to the sky
Just like my beautiful momma
Who told me to hold my head up high

Cos she says I'm as good as any other
Who comes with certs, or pedigree and whatever
Long fur with ribbons and bows all kinds of colour
I don't need them, only my collar

Is there a home, a family
Someone who cares
To take me in with love to share?
For now I'll wait and close my eyes in prayer"

Hopeful SANDY for Adoption

She is 3 months and such a clown now. She knows how to sit before her food / treats and has a very good appetite. She still learning how to toilet train but is a very curious pup and adores people, other dogs (and food), which we are happy as the vet says this is good rehabilitation on her part. No matter how soundly she is sleeping, snoring upside down turtle style, the minute she hears rustling of plastic bag or someone eating, you can be sure Sandy is silently by your side looking on - hopeful.

Yes Hopeful Sandy that is what we call her. Currently undergoing treatment right now for her skin due to environment and stress prior to her rescue, otherwise she is very healhy, playful and very cute, curious and has the saddest looking face with her big ears and huge eyes. Even when she is happy, she looks sad, only evidence of happiness is her waggy tail. She knows her name very well, knows how to sit and walks well on leash. We are still training her with toilet. She is not barky but whimpers or whine to sound her happiness or hunger.


Sandy was saved from being put down just hours before the deadline was up. Seeing her happy, alive and a carefree pup makes us very glad to have rescued her in the nick of time. Unfortunately, Sandy will not be suitable for HDB (or public housing) as she is considered a mid-size dog. She will grow into a small mid size.

Please call 91153067 or email anaterry@singnet.com.sg if you wish to give Sandy the gift of a family.

wishing you a happy/merry/blessed Christmas. :)

hi! i'm back from Taiwan around 2 days ago. :)
enjoyed myself. but since this blog isn't about me, i wouldn't say about it. :)

i really want to thank Ana and her family for looking after Prince and Sandy while we were away. :) THANKS A MILLION!

good that Prince was quite a good boy because Ana said so. it's more of my silly Sandy. :) but i still love her lots. because on 22 Dec when i went to pick Prince home, but not San because we were afraid that she will do anything wrong and make a big mess, Sandy was SO happy to see us, 'crying for joy', jumping around us, kissing us. haha. :) so sweet ya? Ana also said that she was so upset when we left without her.. poor girl.. :( she is coming back today! :)

haha. see this picture? isn't it cute?? :) Sandy has became a bee!! buzzing around! :)

hopeful Sandy up for adoption

blur like a sotong. :D

picture for the day~

which is fat snowy. :D (at the mandai dinner day/night)

snowy now is so fat! so cute but naughty. ^^

not very naughty.. but he doesn't let people to carry him, unlike last time.

but i still like him. :D and Prince too!

Prince remembers him, when they met at the last AVA road show.

anyway, i read a book on puppies and in the chapter of house breaking, they said "Don't forget, most puppies are not reliably house trained until they are at least six months old. "

so if Sandy doesn't pee where she is suppose to, it's not her fault. :) but partially is too... hm... :)

Sandy is TOTALLY MAD about FOOD. all she think of is FOOD!!! *shakes head* anyone has any idea how to make her not SO MAD about food?? because Snowy's previous 'fosterer' (after my family) managed to make Snowy not SO crazy about food! that cool! but i can't seem to find... how.. hm.. got to do more research. luckily I'm on holiday, or i doubt i will find and read so much. :D

oh, saying of Sandy, it's her 3 months old 'birthday' today! 4 Dec 2009. :)

young girl ya? she is up for adoption, but more of after her skin problem is 'under control'. or if someone really likes her and don't mind her skin problem, then of course (s)he will be welcomed to adopt her. :)

from 1001 reasons to love DOGS

i wouldn't write all. because it isn't all that interesting. ^^

but will put interesting ones.

1. the art of removing chewing un from dog fur

if you catch it right away, gum not yet entwined in the coat can be frozen with an ice cube and broken apart. if the gum is matted into the coat, rub the area with peanut butter and it will be easy to remove. (ever known that? i just know. :D)

" A dog wags its tail with its heart."

2. a dog's paws smell like fresh popcorn

dogs perspire through their feet and have scent glands on the bottom of their paws that resemble the aroma of popcorn!

to be continued with a breed apart next time. :)

stay tune. :D

the three dog dogs at my place now

Sandy being left out! ops.. sad..

Cookie aka Honey is back at my place for "holiday"! :)
she recognises us!!! how nice! ^^ she's such a beauty! beautiful, lovely, smart, elegant. :D Mike must be so proud to have her.. and I'm VERY happy that they took honey/cookie and gave her such a wonderful home! ^^ her life was from bad to good~ HAPPY ENDING! ^^

will post her pictures and yesterday's picture of AVA's last roadshow soon! (when i'm free?) ^^

i don't understand my Prince..
yesterday i brought him to my granduncle's house and my 4 years old cousin went too.
he (my cousin) is afraid of Prince so we had to keep Prince away from him. but later my cousin tried touching Prince, i don't know if he touched but Prince turned around and wanted to bite / bit him. and he had a scratch.

this isn't the first time. there was other two times when we went walking and suddenly he would jump onto a young small boy running / walking fast near Prince. can someone tell me why?
because at other times Prince is so guai (good), and there isn't really a need for training.. Prince is weird.. :x

*anyone has guinea pig for me to foster / guinea pig sit?? :D

saw some guineas at SPCA yesterday.......................

so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but think it's better to foster / guinea - sit then to adopt one........

at least foster / guinea sit is................ i don't know how to say. :P just prefer fostering / guinea sitting.

i still have the food and hay............

don't know what to do with it..

feel like giving but also don't feel like. :P

because i still feel like having a guinea...

and the cage, Sandy is sleeping in it. ^^ her so called home.

Sandy is doing well, very well indeed. ^^
lots of people have said that she is cute when i brought her out today, to AVA's road show. :)
that's good news isn't it ? ^^
she is indeed very cute and sweet.
and when she sleeps, she totally sleeps..........................
even if you make lots of noise like talking in a micophone, walk pass her, do things beside her, she still continues sleeping. ^^
have some pictures of her sleeping in the link .
and of course pictures of the pretty her. :)

it's tonight!
i'm quite sure we will enjoy ourselves. ^^
hope to see you there!

Venue: Leng Kee Community Centre

Sandy

Sandy is here~~
Sandy is here~~~
:D
she just came today, 19/11/09
she looks very different from last time.. because of some skin problem.
so far so good for me..
Prince and her have not played yet, but Sandy did try asking Prince.
well, guess they need time to warm up. :)

& i kept wanting to call / calling her Honey. (-.-)
and every time i will be like ' hey! she is NOT Honey! she's Sandy!'. ^^

she enjoys sleeping / laying on the cushion i gave her. :)
fed her the med and dinner just now.
med with honey(real honey, not the doggie Honey. :D) was TOTALLY no problem.
but her dinner was a big problem.
sis gave her some dry food in the morning but she didn't eat / touch it, so i tried adding water but failed..
put some treats in, got her interest but she only ate the treat and not the dry food. (-.-)

guess we try putting wet food later or tomorrow?
lazy to open it now. :D
hehe..

Ahboy just went off / home yesterday...
i'll miss you boy. my BIG "bear" that i LOVE hugging. ^^
see you boy!

now my house is "empty" 'cause it's so quiet like before, with only Prince-ci-pee (as what ana calls him. ^^) .
and Prince looks so bored.. lying around and walking around with nothing to do.. poor baby..
but Soon (i guess) we will be having another one. :)
will update soon!

first ava road show

we just finished our first AVA road show! :)
sales was quite good but not excellent.
but it's ok. ^^

brought Prince and Honey there but only came back with one dog named prince.
will come to that later.
Honey was SO scared when we arrived and needed quite some time to get used to it and when there's too many people around her she will be scared.
but she was very well-behaved. :)
Prince was a good boy today too. didn't try running away or making too much noise or anything. :) i'm proud of you darling. haha.
KX helped us to look after Prince and R hepled with Honey.

P,N and J helped with selling the calendars and cards. ^^
the crowd went off early.
if i'm not wrong it's almost less than 3/4 of the whole event.
well, the first half's sales was quite good so it's quite good i would say. ^^

later in the afternoon, a family that is interested in Honey came to see her and they likes her.
so they walked her, played with her and went to buy the things needed. :)
guess / hope she will be happy with them . ^^
and hope that she will get along well with them.
after they brought all the things, Honey went back with them to the car and went home(?).
we ( my sis, my family and I ) will miss you!
love you lots darling!

so now i have 2 dogs at home..
and soon, i will be only left with one.
one darling named Prince (again) :D

No one can go back and change the bad beginning of a dog's life. but someone / anyone can start now and create a successful ( nice, comfortable, wonderful ) ending.

today, i went to a pet shop that sells pets ( rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs ). when i saw the shop, i remembered that they sell small pets and guinea pigs are one of them. and they reminded me of Coffee... they look so lovely......

anyway, after that i saw a lady saying that she is interested in buying a hamster and the sort of first thought that came to my mind was "choose to adopt not to buy!". after looking around and having those words going though my mind, i walked out and thought to myself that i should tell her that it's better to adopt and not to buy.

well.. i didn't and now it's "bugging" me that i SHOULD HAVE told her. if only i had did it then i will not 'regret' it now. *shakes head*

Mamabrown for adoption
