7 years, 3 weeks and 1 day old

I am already 7 years, 3 weeks and 1 day old. She forgot to do a post on my barkday on the 22nd of November. Can you believe it. I am awfully sad that she forgot this year. All she thinks about is the Curly nowadays. Curly this Curly that.. Curly eat Curly drink. Curly Curly.

Its a good thing my mommy and daddy remembers. Mommy did give me a very good meal on my barkday.

But i am still sad that she didn't do a post for me on my 7th barkday. How can she forget. This blog is mine. It belongs to me and its MY kingdom. Its called Piper's Kingdom. Not Curly Kingdom.

Before the Curly came and hog her, all she loved was me. She rushes home from work to just feed me and play with me. Sometimes i get to sleep on her bed. She buys me toys and many toys and treats. I wake her up every morning so that she won't be late for work. I take care of her when she is sick by checking on her every now and then. I lay down beside her when she is lonely. I was all the friend that she had.

Now its all just about the Curly.

I am much much cuter than the Curly. I am more well behaved. I eat nicely and i am not noisy like some Curly. I don't jump up and down. I am fluffier and adorable too. I am also more compact and easy to bring out. Everyone adores me when they see me but why does she not love me anymore. Why why why.

I now live with my mommy and daddy in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe we are too far apart and she totally forgot that she loved me. My mommy and daddy takes me for car rides. But i am still sad. Why does she not love me anymore. Why did she forget my birthday.

Daddy sometimes drive like a F1 driver. I have learnt to balance very well and i can sway left and right but not fall. In some countries, mommy and daddy will be in trouble for not strapping me up in a safety harness.

I know she's coming down to see me soon. I wonder if she will love me back and leave the Curly to grandpa to worry about. Even though i like Curly, but he has been hogging my blog for too long. Too long i tell you.

Sumomo

I heard that she sent Curly for grooming at Sumomo. They even gave him a spa. Can you believe it. He went for a nice nice papaya spa and he is now smelling like a million bucks for many days. With Curly smelling like a million bucks, she's gonna love him more and more.

Curly and I love to eat papaya a lot. I wonder if he ate any of the spa papaya soap.. *BOL*

Curly had a crew cut too... the usual and he's no more curly. His legs looks like sticks again. She is getting worried about him getting too fat again. He's just like a dalmation now in his birthday suit. *BOL* He's running all over the neighbourhood with only a wee thin layer of fur and some black dots. First he tried to be a schnauzer and now he is a semi dalmation for maybe 2 weeks till his curls grow out. You can't really see them dots because she covered her beloved Curly with a towel just in case he gets cold on the way back from the groomers.

I hope she brings me some cookies when she comes down. I also hope she will love me back. I know i still love her. I always sleep in her room when she comes down. Her heart should be big enough for Curly and i. Don't you think so?

Ain't i charming?

Who can resist such a charming face. And i do love Food.

Schnauzer in the house

Hello there :) 

I am the new schnauzer in the house

TADA!

It is me laa. Curly. Can you all still recognize me? I am now a schnauzer wannabe. I wanna be like my friends Yuki and Rocket and i wanna be like the handsome Oskar too.

I was at Sumomo's last Sunday to have my grooming session. Since my cow was lazy busy cooking working and didn't comb me too much these past few weeks, my ears were all tangled up. She just told the nice people at Sumomo's to shave it off and not try to untangle it as she says it would be too ouchie.

I was not suppose to bathe or go for grooming too as per my vet's advise these past weeks until i get better. But my v-e-t did tell her to give me a brush everyday. She literally just passed me the brush and ask me to comb myself. I am all paws... how do i use a comb with all paws.

Here's a side profile. Do i look handsome?

hehehehe.. here i am trying to look coy

Last one... can i pass off as a schnauzer? I am trying hard to not smile.

the_cow: Here... have a banana

schnauzer_wannabe: Do you think i am a monkey or what?

 the_cow: Are you still a schnauzer now? You surely do not have perky ears... 

schnauzer_wannabe: no no no... i am a schnoodle. I think i'll be a schnoodle who loves noodles.

Being a schnauzer wannabe is surely very tiring. I am gonna take a nap now. Can someone please tell my cow to get me a bigger bed.

Today is Google's 13th Birthday. That's surely older than me. Woohoooooo!
Happy Birthday Google!

xoxo,

Dommy

footnote from the_cow:

Dom had a crew cut as i trimmed his fringe when he couldn't go to the groomers for two whole months. Some tangled sections behind his ears as i didn't comb him out throughly. I am guilty. But he sure is feeling much lighter and cleaner now. He smells great too :)

Thanks to Nat at Sumomo's for doing a great job. Maybe we'll go with this schnauzer lookalike cut next time too :)

Of Peep Toe Paws and Chocolate Cake

Time usually passes quickly when you are having fun. Most of the time it does. We are not really having a lot of fun lately. Monotony. Nothing of great interest happening here but time still goes by too fast.

I do get more walkies nowadays. Everyone's commenting that i am too fat to be a poodle. BAH! Every evening... SHE decides to take me for a walk to check out my mails and i get to leave a whole lot of mails for all my doggie friends out in the neighbourhood. Sometimes.. when SHE is in a good wakey up mood... i get a walk in the morning too. I bet this won't be lasting too long. SHE is a lazy bum you know. She rather be watching tv than taking me for walkies. But since i am FAT... i think i shall milk this as long as i can. Walkies are great for HER and for me too.

Last Sunday, SHE took me for a car ride. I was leaping with joy and doing my silly jumping jacks. (i don't think i am FAT cos i can do jumping jacks pretty well) Even Jack will be amazed at my flexibility. For an OLD and FAT poodle, i jump pretty well.

Since Piper is not here, i can to be co-driver. Hmmm... i wonder where we are going.

I am such a mess. I can't even see clearly with all my curly locks going wild everywhere.

Hmmm.. this is a very long car ride... and we are getting nearer to the mountains. Hmmmm.. i wonder if we are going to Kuala Lumpur to see my Piper. Did you forget to grab my luggage woman??

Oh yes... i got conned to go on a car ride and guess where this landed me. Grooming. Yes.. grooming. Can you believe it. Here i am waiting for my turn at the table.

Here i am getting sized up by this guy... but he's really a very nice guy. I like him. He's doing the final touches to my puppy dog face. Yes... i am OLD but FAT but i can still have puppy cute cuts :)

I am so so tired after this grooming session. I spent a total of 7 hours there. Check out my paws. I had the "chicken leg" paws cut this time. SHE calls it the chicken leg paws thingy since she don't know what they are called. I think i look like i am wearing peep toe shoes. She gotta fork out another 5 buckaroos for these peepy toes thingy.

Since grandpa's been complaining a lot about too much sand in the house and some curly was the bearer of sand in the house, SHE thought it would be wise to try this peepy toes thingy to see if i bring in less sand from the garden. I think if SHE gets up earlier each morning and give the house a good sweep and a good mop, there shouldn't be any sand in the house. I get blamed for everything here. Even SANDy house.

If i PRESS that red button, i wonder if SHE gets ejected out of the car... hmmmm... i've seen it happen on cartoons before.

Since i've been a good curly at the groomers, SHE got me a new polka dotted collar and FINALLY got my tag on it. I hope i get more nom noms when i am wearing this collar :)

Tomorrow is Good Friday.. ops! today is Good Friday and we shall be on the road to be with family. We shall be back soon but do check out a MOST IMPORTANT post tomorrow. We have scheduled a post for tomorrow.

SHE has asked me to post this recipe for you all who might love to bake.

As you all know, SHE cannot follow instructions very well but this chocolate cake turned out pretty well... and very sweet. You all might want to cut down on the sugar a little. She found (stole) this recipe from one of the recipe sites on the web but for the life of her, she forgot where she got it from.

This is one of the easiest chocolate cake to bake. Just melt the butter with the chocolate in a pan. Take it off the heat and mix in the sugar... then let it cool down a little and put in the eggs and the ONE TABLESPOON of flour. Yes.. only a round tablespoon of flour. Bake for 25 to 30 mins and let it stand in the oven for 10 mins. Its just very nice and gooey in the center. Very sweet too.

I am not too sure how it taste like since i cannot take any chocolates. But i think she is just hogging the cake all for herself. Hope she gets FAT and OLD soon.

Have a great Easter and see you all next week.

love,
Dommy

Service Interruption

We interrupt this service for the moment to share with you this.

Yes.. that's our dear lil furry. Hairless. Furless. And i think he's quite happy about it. His big smiles show that i ain't lying to you guys.

Dommy went for a long over-due grooming session yesterday and he was there for hourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssss. Sundays are not good days to send him for grooming as the wait is much longer and he has to be there the wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee day.

It takes about 30mins to get to his groomers at another side of town and 35 mins to get back. The 5 mins were needed for the drinking of water in the car and for the tummy rubs and for the apologies for letting him wait so long. *LOL*

Well... he is much much lighter now. Still fat but definitely lighter.

We are sorry for not posting much. Up to them noses with work. My colleague just came back to work today but we shall not tax her too much. Her eyes are still red and not fully healed.

Our apologies for not dropping by more often. We'll be coming around soon :) Oh.. we have a giveaway coming up soon. Do drop by ya :)

Mr Handsome Speaks

We went for a car ride today. I was soooooooooo happy i just stood up and look out of the window for a long time. Its been a while since this woman took us for a car ride. Sometimes Dom gets to go for car rides when she goes out for short errands but she never takes me because she says i bark too much. Sometimes i bark at her ears too while she is driving. Maybe that's why she doesn't take me on car rides sometimes. Bummer.

But our car ride ended up at the groomers which is quite far away. I even slept in the car. Then i remembered i came to Karen's place before. Long time ago. My usual groomer is in Kuala Lumpur. Bet she misses me. Tiffany still does the best cut. She knows best on how to make me look cute with the puppy cut. I am always looking puppy cute. Sometimes some people think that i am just a puppy. I am almost going to be 6 years old come December.

That's me with my new collar. Don't i look hot? All the other doggies were checking me out

I just went for a wash and groom. They checked my ears and clip my nails. I tried to bite their nail cutters but Karen thought that was cute. She's quite a nice lady. A whole lot of people who came by the shop played with me too. Karen didn't want to let me go home. She still wanted to play with me.

I left 2 brown poop and some peepee behind before i left. That's all Karen and Anny's fault. They know i have to pee real bad but they kept talking. So i just did it there.

Today is my day. I am made to feel like a king and so loved at my Ipoh groomers here.

Dommy can sleep while he is sitting down. Cool ya? hehehehe.. that's his new Bambi look :)

Oh.. Curly is no more curly. He had a crew cut again and made to look like Bambi. Poor Curly. Anny says that its too warm in the afternoons here. So he's all trimmed down to less than an inch. Except his face. He still looks cute but he's too old to be looking cute. Now he has to wear his tee at night. Just in case he catch a cold.

We are all very tired now. All three of us woke up early today at 7am. And the trip to the groomers... we are poofed. Gotta sleep now. *woof*

love,
Piper

Woof! I Can See Clearly Now

I Can See Clearly Now ~ Johnny Nash

Early yesterday morning, Anny said let's go. I was so happy and leap into her car and off we went on a car-rideeeeeeee. We went for a long car ride all the way to the place near the mountains. Suddenly i felt we were going on a familiar route. Oh oh.. no time to run. I am stuck.

I begin to tremble.. and have a pretty worried face. Anny reassured me that we are not going to Dr. Teo the vet. We are just going next door to Lovely Pet Care for my grooming. I refuse to come down from the car.. and skipped over to the driver seat when Anny open the door on passenger seat. You see.. i am smart. When she went to the driver seat door.. i skip back to the passenger seat. Woof! I am a smart doggie.. but not for long. Cos she manage to get me out anyways and carried me to grooming shop.

Its been a while since i came here. My last groom was in Kuala Lumpur with Piper's groomer the day before Dogathon. Even though i like this pretty lady groomer, i still don't like grooming and i don't like other people to bathe me except Anny or grandpa. But in this place, i do meet a lot of other poodles too. Its a pretty friendly place and we have all my other doggie friends running all over the shop. I sat with Anny on the couch while waiting for someone to take me awayyyyyyyyyyyy... Anny left me after that.

This time my grooming was very fast. I was the first doggie to be groomed and i was done in about 2 hours. They called Anny to come pick me up and i didn't have to wait very long. I was almost dozing off when Anny peeked into my crate and called me. I was so happy to see her, i just jumped on her and licked her face. She is always happy to see me too. She gave me a drink of water in the car and we went on home to see grandpa.

Grandpa says i look cute and dashing. He says i can finally see clearer now. I feel few pounds lighter too. I didn't know all the curls and fur were that heavy. Hopefully now i get less dry grass on me when Anny let's me out to roll in my garden.

Here's me in my before and after pic. Can you see my eyes... and nose... and and my mouth clearer now?

before

after

Do i look ok? My fur grows pretty fast. I'll be a curly moo again in a week or two. That's all for now. Now i gotta go catch my 40 winks. See ya!

Love,
Dommy
