Princess Diaries

Forever young

Dear Diary,

I've not made an entry for the longest time. Mummy took me to the clinic early this month. I was very brave. I didn't shiver and struggle as much compared to last year and those years before last. I am a brave girl now!!! Mummy was so proud of me... The doc told her I am healthy..er except my teeth needed some scaling and it had to be done within a year from now due to my age. SHe mentioned casually that I was getting old...

OLD....do I look old??? I can jump up and down Mummy and Daddy's bed anytime I want. Mind you..the bed is much taller than me...

Mummy's colleagues told her that I look very young and pretty. I even had a one-year-old Mini Schnauzer going gaga over me. Many people in my neighbourhood think I am still a puppy! How can she call me "OLD"???

Forever youthful and sweet Sunday

Dear Diary,

It is Chinese New Year again. Mummy and Daddy celebrate Chinese New Year every year. As some of their relatives are EXTREMELY frightened of dogs, I don't get to go out with them during CNY. I hate CNY as I will be left alone at home........Boo Hoo...

This year, Mum bought a nice cheongsam for me so that I can wear it to Grandma's house for reunion dinner. Do you know that the reunion dinner is significant to the Chinese as it is the day when family members gather to have dinner? Relatives who live overseas will come back for this special dinner.

Everyone is ready for the reunion lunch now... we are going to Great Grandma's house for reunion dinner later in the evening..I got to run.. need to perform tricks to beg for food...


Happy Lunar New Year

Photo Shoot

Hi Diary,

Mummy and Daddy took me to a studio for my photo shoot last Monday. It was raining cats and dogs that afternoon when we reached the studio. My fur was drenched.

We were greeted by a friendly man who was the photographer. He wanted to play with me but I found exploring his studio more interesting so I spent some time sniffing around the studio.

Mummy let me wear some of my doggie clothes during the photo shoot. During the session, I was put on stools and tables. Daddy was sitting near me to lend his moral support. I kept looking at him and he decided to stand behind Mr Photographer. I was very anxious and started barking for Daddy. Daddy did not come so I jumped off the table! Daddy, Mummy and Mr Photographer gasped in horror as I performed the 'stunt'.....

After two long hours, the photo shoot was complete! Daddy and Mummy took me to a coffeeshop for Katong Laksa (Mummy's favourite food) before selecting photos for my album.

Today, we collected the photos. Mummy has just uploaded some photos to Dogster!
