Golden Retriever Sam looking for a home in Singapore

2011-11-22T19:53:00.001+08:00

Attention my friends in Singapore! Got this from an email, please help to spread the message, we have less than 2 weeks to help Sam find a home!

Dear All,
My friend is moving overseas and needs a new family for his dog Sam.
Sam is 9.5 yrs old. He is 100% house trained, loves to swim at the beach (which he goes almost on a weekly basis) and he is a great great dog!!! The only thing is he is super fright of thunder like most dogs. He walks off leash and has a 5m invisible barrier and will never go far from the zone.
If you would like to talk to the owner, please call Surjit at 92705275.
Please also help me to spread the word around. Surjit is leaving the country in 2 weeks so he really really needs your help to find Sam a new home. Sam’s picture is attached.
PLEASE HELP!
warm regards
Sunita

Have you got your copy?

2011-10-27T00:35:00.001+08:00

We are in 7th heaven! The book we ordered from Amazon.com has arrived!

We are so excited about it because the book is illustrated by our friends, Augie and Ti!!! It is written by the best-selling author of Angelo's Journey, Leland Dirk and it is called "Seven Dogs in Heaven".

It is a a very simple read about love and loyalty and you can enjoy all of it in just one day.

Ashley wanted the book all for herself.

But, Mom says we have to learn to share, so I get to read it too! You can get your own copy here. Enjoy and I hope you like it as much as we do!

I missed you all!!!

It's almost the last week of October and I have not posted a single thing for the entire month! I must say I have been really slack in the blog department and I have not been visiting all your blogs too. Please forgive me as things always get in the way. Anyhow, I think I am ready to come back to blogging again! I really have to set my priorities right this time! I will be visiting your blogs too, so please don't forget me yet!

Some time ago, Dad won a Nikon DSLR from a lucky draw and Ashley and I have been modeling alot as both he and mom tries to get a hang of the little black toy. Here are some of our favorite pics. I hope you like them.

I have finally set up a Facebook page for me and my sister. Exclusive photos and videos can be found at http://www.facebook.com/LoveDinoAshley Please check out our page and like us.

Have a awesome week ahead!!!

Woohoo!!! Baking Day Again!!!

Auntie Ellen baked some very yummy peanut butter cookies!!! They are soft and moist inside, just the way we like it!!!!

First Pool Trip in Hong Kong!

2011-09-19T17:05:00.001+08:00

It has been almost a year since I last went to the pool! Remember all my wonderful swimming holidays when I was in Taiwan? How I missed getting wet!

I was delighted when I got invited to Fa Fa Family's Poolside Birthday Party. It was held yesterday at Pets Park (大埔寵物寶寶娛樂城), the pool is not as big as the ones I have been to in Taiwan, but well at least I did get to have some fun in the water and some very yummy birthday treats. Here are the rest of the pics to share! Have a fabulous week everyone!!!

Happy Days!!!

2011-09-02T23:27:00.000+08:00

Ahhhh.... It's finally September! That means cooler weather is approaching! I had the most horrendous summer this year! A bad bout of hot spots that wouldn't heal and three visits to the vet in a month! I can now finally report that I have fully recovered. I have been wearing the stupid cone for the longest time and I am glad it is finally over! Phew!

Last month, I made a few trips to Penfold Park to admire some flowers and to relieve some stress.

I must say Penfold Park is really quite pretty in summer, the flowers are in full bloom and you can even get to do some bird watching.

It was the summer school holidays and I also had the pleasure of the company of LY and Zoe. They are so fun to hang out with!

I hope they will take some time out of their busy school schedule to join me on my future Penfold Park trips .

I will be attending a poolside birthday party in two weeks. I have not swam since I arrived in Hong Kong and I must tell you....I can hardly contain my excitement!

Happy weekend everyone and stay healthy!!!

Whoa! My Sister turned Two!!!

2011-08-05T16:52:00.002+08:00

I can't believe it! Ashley turned two years old last month! She was just a tiny baby not too long ago! Now, she can say many things, including "Good Morning, Dino", "Excuse me, Dino" and "Quiet, Dino!".

We did not have a big celebration this year because we have all been sick. (I have been wearing the dreaded cone for a month! More about that in my next post!) Last month was rough, Ashley was hospitalized for high fever and when she recovered Mom got tonsilitis and then poor Dad got her germs too! When everyone got better, Ashley fell sick again and had to visit the doctor twice in a week. She ended up having conjunctivitis on her birthday, so it wasn't very pretty.

Anyhow, our two Grandmas came over to Hong Kong to celebrate her birthday and we had a nice mini party at home. A very big thank you to everyone for the wonderful presents, cards and birthday wishes! Here's her birthday video to share:

Happy birthday to my dearest sister, may you be happy and healthy always!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

What does Summer means?

2011-06-12T00:41:00.004+08:00

Summer has not officially started and it's hot hot hot here in Hong Kong!!! It's about 32°C/90°F during the day and I am suffering! For me, summer means hot spots are here to stay.

I have been battling a severe case of hot spots since last month and Mom had to bring me to the groomer's for my early summer cut again! Here's one last photo before I said goodbye to all my glorious hair!

And now, I have transformed into a lion again!!!

No, I am a Friendly Lion.

We were all surprised that I didn't look that fat afterall! Take a look at my previous summer cuts here. It's nice to feel cooler and lighter now. Come run around with me at Penfold Park in my latest video below:

And here is a clip of my sister Ashley who simply loves to dance.

Have a fabulous and cool Sunday everyone!!!

C is for Cookie!!!

Lots of Love from Dino & Ashley!

My First Ever Birthday Cake!!!

2011-04-10T18:19:00.000+08:00

I turned five years old two months ago in February. As usual, I spent the day at boarding because Dad, Mom and Ashley had to spend Chinese New Year with their family in Singapore. This time, I spent my birthday at DB Dog Dayz. The owner of the DB Dog Dayz sent Mom some photos on my birthday, you can see me busy making new friends.

When I returned from boarding, I was thrilled to see a package waiting for me! It was from Augie and Ti!!!! A stuffed bunny and a cute sweet pea baby for my sister, Ashley!!! Valentine's Day was around the corner and they sent me a big red heart and cute little Valentine cards too! Thank you guys for your wonderful presents!!!

Another package arrived! Lamb, carrots, apples and treats from Auntie Felicia! I had birthday feasts four times in total with all that food! Thank you very much, Auntie Feli for all the yummy goodies!

I also received three e-greetings!

Thank you, Kimba!

Thank you, Parker and Daisy!!!

Thank you, Augie and Ti!!!

Augie and Ti asked me "Where's the cake?". Sadly, I never had a birthday cake for my past birthdays, the closest to it was the "Little Cakes" that Mom baked for my fourth birthday.

So for my fifth birthday, it was decided that I should finally have a real birthday cake! We asked our pals, Augie and Ti for a recipe and they happily shared with us here: Let's make doggy cakes!

Big thank you to Auntie Ellen for baking the cake for me. I am happy to report that it turned out perfect! Thank you so much Augie and Ti for the fail proof recipe!!! It is super yummy and I enjoyed it very much!

Grandma Connie came to visit and so all of us went to Penfold Park for a belated celebration.

The weather was very good and I had a fabulous time! Check out my birthday video below:

Happy Year of The Rabbit!!!

It's Chinese New Year's Eve today! May the Year of The Bunny bring you good luck, good health and prosperity!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!!

Pearly Whites for The New Year

2011-01-27T23:43:00.004+08:00

There is something that I have never been proud of and that is my teeth! My enamel was severely damaged as I had distemper as a puppy and they have never looked good.

See the yellowish brown stain on my teeth? Those must be plague accumulated over the last four years! I have never been to the dentist before, so earlier this month, Mom decided that it was high time I get my teeth cleaned.

I had to spend the entire day at the dentist because I had to be put under general anesthesia for the cleaning. That wasn't fun and the worst thing was that I had to fast for 12 hours before the procedure.

I didn't come around until quite late and that got my parents worried. They dropped me off before 12pm and only got to pick me up at 9pm.

Although there is nothing I can do about my damaged enamel, I am happy to report that I have clean sparkly teeth now. They definitely look whiter too!

The vet ran a couple of tests before my teeth cleaning to ensure that I am fit for the procedure and he certified me to be in very good health. Hooray!!!

Now, someone has to make sure that my teeth gets brushed regularly so I do not have to visit the dentist so soon again.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Thank you!!!

It has been a sad time for my family, we just don't feel like blogging anymore, but we received so many messages and wonderful cards from our friends all over the world and we just have to make a post about it.

Thank you so much for your condolences, thoughts and prayers, it really helped to mend our broken hearts.

Coming back to blogging keeps us back on track and help us keep in touch with all our dear friends. Thank you all so much for comforting us and being there for us during this difficult time. We really treasure our friendship with you.

In Loving Memory of Uncle Tony

It is with a heavy heart that I have to make this post. Mommy's eldest brother, Tony was suddenly taken from us on 27 December. He was one week shy of his 47th birthday. We love you, Uncle Tony. Rest in peace.
