My new football

Hey guys!

Yesterday, Mummy bought me a new football! It's yellow and has black spots all over, and it's waaaaay too big to fit into my mouth! But guess what, Mummy says I would make a good goalie!

You can't score against me, folks. I got it! Prepare for the kick!

Sometimes though, I let Rachel kick off the ball. Mummy says that I have to be fair and give others a chance to kick it. Ok, I guess I have twice the number of legs as my humans, so I will give them twice the chance!

After a while of playing, I lie down to take a breather. These ball matches are pretty tough! They drain all of my energy...

Mummy showed me some really cool shots of me dribbling the ball!

I can even jump to block a shot!



There! See me jump over the ball to slow it down, and a kick and a swerve, avoid Jiejie Rachel, and bounce the ball off the pillar to distract them. Eventually, I am cornered and the ball goes out. Your ball, guys!

I love going places!

I love going places. Did I mention? I love going places!

I can tell when Mummy packs my stuff into a bag. My toys, treats and water bottle. I know I am going somewhere!

Most of the time we have to wait a long time by the road until a kind driver offers to take us. I try to put on my cutest face possible, so that they will think I am a cute small dog! Mummy says that most drivers prefer to take a cute small dog.

This is one of my first times in a cab. Can you see how cute I look?

One time, Mummy decided to bring me to the shop where they have all these things for canines like me! It was too far for me to walk, so I had to sit in this thing which rumbled on forever!

I hate it especially when my butt is rolled over those metal parts of the road. But fortunately my seat had padded newspaper to absorb the shock!

More often than not, I end up outside this big house with a huge gate. And inside it...is water! A whole big giant puddle which I can jump in and get myself wet!

The floor's too deep for me to stand, so I have to swim. What makes the swim worth it is that I get to play with my favourite toy! It has tails, is purple. And guess what? It squeaks! Gosh, I love grabbing it by the tails and swinging it around. There, look up in the picture! I feel really proud, seeing myself retrieving the cool Kong Wubba!

After a few laps, and getting my ear all soaked (eeewww. It feels really squishy, by the way, and itchy!) I get to play in the garden!

Oh! That's my other favourite toy! It smells like a plant, maybe a willow or something, but it's really crunchy and tasty. I am not really allowed to chew on the grass (except when they are not looking), so this is good! It can be swung around too, but right now, I think I've had enough! The swimming made me tired.

I love going to the Singapore Botanical Gardens too. The grass is so inviting, and the scents! Each time Mummy brings me there, it's like a whole new experience. Thousands of dog scents beckon me, and I cannot wait to roll about the grass. I meet many friends there too!

Presenting...Coco the border collie! You must must must read my other entry on our fun time together. And no! You are not seeing double. Yes! It's another golden retriever! She's not much younger than me, and she loves to play, just like me!

Stella still has her baby fur (yuck, I hate that fur, it makes me so sticky!), and she loves nipping! Of course I nip back too, but Mummy says that I should be good. I am a fine young dog. I don't nip at humans! I only nip around my fellow canines!

That's Jay Jay! She's much older than me. Her handler says that she also doesn't "retrieve", as the humans call it. Well, I think we are both equally smart then. Why exchange the ball for food, when we can keep the ball and play with it! Furthermore, the ball won't run out, unlike food!

These are the two places which I have been to the most. I love the big puddle to splash about, and I enjoy running on the big expanse of grass. My humans are starting to trust me more, and are letting me run off leash more often!

Till the next entry, folks! =)
