Special Path for Jack

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:38:00 +0000

You may have noticed that I have a path in the garden, from previous photos, for Jack to pee so that he does not do it at the gate or the car porch.

He has 2 favourite spots to pee along this path.

Here is a photo of him caught red-handed....ha..ha....

Jack's New Corner

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:27:00 +0000

Remember that Jack was caught in a wire mesh next to the palm tree...?

Well, I removed the wire mesh and placed 2 patches of articficial grass so that he can goes there to do what he wants......

So when I decided to wash the car porch one morning..... Jack went to that corner to rest as he does not like the water.....ha...ha....

Grooming for Jack

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 15:04:00 +0000

I used the Tea Tree Oil, antiseptic ointment, to apply on his skin growth on Jack's forhead as the flies like to suck on it and sometimes there is a blood clot.....sigh

The next bottle solution is used to clean Jack's ears fortnightly, these days.

The Tear Stain Remover and Eye Bright Lotion are applied every morning after his morning walk.

The Fresh Breathe and Dental Paste is applied to his front teeth especially his canine teeth as his molars are well maintained through chewing on bones and those special dental treats, on alternate days as Jack does not quite like it but getting used to it lately.

Well, this is what Jack gets for his grooming in addition to having a nice bath once a month and having his hair brushed weekly with the Furmigator ( read my earlier email ).

Jack and Doormat

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:49:00 +0000

This is our good boy, Jack, lying next to the doormat.

Then, we started to find the doormat in his resting area behind his dog house....?

The doormat was ruffled and misplaced......

The doormat was overturned too.......?

Jack likes to play with our doormat...... when we are not around.......! I caught him scratching the mat and even rolling over it through the window but did not have sufficient time to get my digital camera to take a photo of him in action.....

Jack Got Trapped Again

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Sat, 28 May 2011 13:17:00 +0000

As usual after dinner, we wanted to give Jack a slice of the apple one night but we could not find him.....

Finally, we found him in a corner of the porch that we did not look at....

We suspected that he must be chasing something and got himself into such a spot...!

But he did not bark for help.

Luckily, it was not in the afternoon as it could be quite hot if he was stuck there the whole afternoon.

He repeated it tonight but we saw him pushed his way into the wire mesh as he was sniffing out something in the garden.

He was really determined to catch that thing... whatever it was...?

It turned out to be a small mice hiding in our garden......!

Jack Got Trapped

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Fri, 27 May 2011 13:09:00 +0000

We came home one afternoon and before we opened the gate, we saw Jack's head popping up on the wall....!

We have fenced up that portion of the garden and did not expect to see Jack's head.

This is what Jack got himself into..... look at the photo below...

We were wondering how Jack got himself into such a situation....???

Jack Playing With Towel

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Thu, 12 May 2011 07:51:00 +0000

Jack was running out into the heavy rain and barking at the thunder.

Jason decide to wipe him dry but Jack like to play with his bath towel instead.

Enjoy the video....ha..ha....

Flower Pots Overturned

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Sun, 08 May 2011 07:41:00 +0000

I came home and found these pots overturned in the garden...!

Jack, what have you been up to...?

Almost broke down the fence too!

When my wife dragged him to see the mess and scolded him, Jack was like shivering a bit...... guilty look..!

I was trying to defend Jack and said that maybe he was chasing the birds away from the garden...ha..ha....

These birds have been a bit of a nuisance as they were making a nest inside the roof of our car porch and have been dirting the car porch with the debris that they brought back for the nest.

Jack was getting used to them and the noise that they made and I have to hang a CD to try to scare them away; light reflected by the CD.... seems to work, I think!

Another Birthday Treat!

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Wed, 04 May 2011 15:55:00 +0000

Jack does not like to be fed by hand so when you give him some treats, he likes to take it away from you and eat by himself.

Mummy giving Jack a raw hide bone with bacon inside.

Tug of war..?

Finally, Jack enjoying his treat.

Happy 14th Birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:32:00 +0000

We celebrated Jack's 14th birthday a few days ago.

Jack got some special treats for his birthday.

The good news is that Jack is still looking good; eating well and still active... barking and running a bit when I walked him.

We look forward to many years with Jack......!

Jack Like Apples

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 07:58:00 +0000

We started to feed Jack apples when we take them after our dinner.

Jack loves it...!

I managed to catch Jack pulling up some plants in the garden!

Jack, you are a naughty boy...!

Jack's New Resting Place

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:31:00 +0000

Though we have the table set in the car porch for some time, it is only recently that Jack has decided that it would be another good resting place for him.

Want to play soccer?

My new resting place...under the table...!

Merry Christmas 2010

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2011..!

Jack got some special treat for his Christmas and here are a few photos of him enjoying it. We got a party hat for him too...!

Jack has 12 days of Christmas treats.....!

FURminator - The Shedding Tool

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:17:00 +0000

Jack used to shed his hair a lot until we were introduced to this shedding tool called FURminator.

FURminator removes the undercoat and loose hair so effectively that we do not see so much fallen hair on the floor and Jack looks so much better too, with less loose hair clinging to his body.

We are so happy with this tool and the results todate.I just groomed Jack with the FURminator tool.

A plastic bag full of his undercoat and loose hair. Jack looks so much neater with his hair or fur trimmed.

FURmintaor comes in different sizes to suit the different types of dog too.

So check out this tool if you have a dog that sheds a lot of his hair .......

Auto-Feeder Still Working

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 09:28:00 +0000

Hi,

Jack is used to the 2nd auto-feeder now but I can only set it for one meal only though it is capable of having 4 timings; eg can set one meal a day for 4 days.

Jack can smell that there is more food in the other trays and would spent the whole night digging and scrathcing at the cover to get at the food even though I tape it down.

Eventually, I only set it for a meal only at night; eg set the timer to open the tray with food at 7am on the previous night.

With lots of pateince and talking to Jack, he has stopped trying to open the cover but he still pushes and drags the auto-feeder when it takes a bit longer for the food to comes out.....ha...ha....

Jack waiting for the tray with food to open; still early in the morning around 6am+ .

I have to put masking tapes to hold the cover down else Jack will paw it open and help himself to the food.

At 7am, the tray with food opened and Jack was eating it as shown in the photo above.

This auto-feeder has shown to be quite robust so far....ha...ha...

Jack Peeing

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 09:32:00 +0000

We created a small patch of grass in the fenced garden for Jack to pee and he does it there most of the time.....

Good boy, Jack!

Else he could pee at the gate or near some flower pots instead.....ha..ha... and it stinks...!

Handsome Photos of Jack

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 09:28:00 +0000

Here are some recent photos taken of Jack......still looking good!

Jack Ate Hibiscus Plant

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:48:00 +0000

Mummy bought a pot of Orange Hibiscus plant during the recent garden Festival.

Jack managed to dislodge the garden fencing and ate the beautiful orange hibiscus flower and the leaves too.....!

Naughty Jack!

Jack was caught red-handed a few days later, trying to break through the fence to eat the Red Hibiscus plant.

Oh Jack ............!

Jack Drying Off

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 03:55:00 +0000

Here are a few photos of Jack drying off after his bathe.

Another Resting Place

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 03:46:00 +0000

Jack decided to move to a cooler place after getting a bit muddy on the grass patch and went to the concrete floor next to the water pipe..... ha..ha....

Cleaner and cooler .....I think...

Jack New Resting Place

noreply@blogger.com (David Poh) — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:36:00 +0000

I was washing the car porch which is Jack's home and he does not like to get wet.

In the past, before I fenced up the garden, he would go to hide under the palm tree.

But I have now given him a small grass patch where he is encouraged to pee there instead of the porch but he has decided to rest there while I was cleaning the porch.

Here are a few photos taken of Jack......
