eye es two, und more!

bark! bark! hello friends! i can't believe it's been more than a month since my last post. wow. what have i been up to?

for starters, ah pa and ah ma have been coming over to spend quite a bit of quality time with me. we have been going to the park in the middle of the day several times the last few weeks and as we had hoped, we were the only ones there so ah pa got some time off leash. after a few pee rounds and gallops around the park, ah pa very quickly proclaimed himself King of the Park. ah pa's been feeling really cheerful lately as a result. he's even playing a lot, lot more than usual (usual being hardly ever). we think the unfettered romping in his park has done him lots of good!

ah pa's first acupuncture session went well, as did his subsequent ones, except for a few embarrassing instances when he tried to nip his new mister vet, doctor oh. doctor oh is a resident vet at the singapore zoo. he is also trained in traditional chinese medicine (for humans) and is an accomplished tcm practitioner and acupuncturist for animals as well. we all think ah pa is in good hands. it's been 20 days since his last seizure and we're keeping our paws crossed. ah pa is happy and we all are, too!

and i am now two years old! today! i am two today! i'd been waiting so long for the Terrible Two to come! dad and mom brought me to pawtobello cafe for lunch. it's the second pet restaurant i've ever been (the other being auntie raye's urban pooch cafe) and although i don't get any special treatments or extra treats here, i would say it's pretty good too. my only grouse is that the muttloaf mom ordered for me is far too small to be a satisfying meal, unlike at auntie raye's where i would also get some veggies on the side. but in all, it has a lovely country-style ambience which is quite refreshing in singapore's concrete-jungle-like cityscape.

we went shopping after lunch and horror of horrors, mom and dad decided to get me a useful burpday present – a life jacket. eek.

the other new event at home is that i now have a little baby god sister staying with me! welcome luna, a two-month old dashchund and the latest addition to auntie cindy's family of many furkids! now there are five! baby luna has been here for a week and will stay with us till it's ready for her to go home. she's currently getting toilet-trained and my, this little one has an appetite quite comparable to mine!

waiting anxiously for ah pa's first acupuncture session at mount pleasant animal hospital.

the first hair-thin needle went into the middle of ah pa's head; it was to calm and relax ah pa. several more went into his scalp, back, elbows and legs after that. the needles were removed after about 30 minutes; ah pa also took home some capsules of herbal mixture to be consumed daily.

today: my very dainty piece of muttloaf. i also had some sausages and sauerkraut from mom's plate!

my practical burpday present. i would've liked to have more treats instead. pah.

my little god sister, luna!
