Please help me; I’m drowning

Hey guys, I may not be that old but this song - Please help me I’m falling by Hank Locklin) reminded me of my adventure last Sunday.

Please help me; I’m drowning in to the sea


Shake my ears to avoid the water, don’t let them rush in


For I shouldn’t want to be wet, but trust me I did


Please help me, I’m drowning in to the sea

Hehe look like water got in my nose too

I said I miss the beach. I never said I miss the sea

If you want to know what happened to me last Sunday when mom was away in Hong Kong, check this out:

I miss the beach.

It has been a long time since I went to the beach. I was hoping this weekend (If weather permit) to go to the beach with my buddies. It never work when you plan anything. This time, my mom is going away this weekend for work – No Beach and No Mom. DARN

Well since I can’t go, I might just have to relive the memories of me and the beach.

You may notice, I don’t talk about going in the water. With a name like mine, you would think I love the water right!

WRONG


See how terrified I look when I am in the water




I don’t like anything in my ears and going in the water means I will have that salty liquid thingy in my ears. It make me so uncomfortable. I have to shake it off, even it mean shaking it off in the water.


Beach is ok. I love the sand. I usually will rub / roll myself on the sand – immediately after coming out of the water.





Of course I get myself full of sand. I don’t mind shaking the sand off (at least I am on land)




I remembered the last time at the beach. I was excited when I found a tree branch.
I was trying to take it back and give it to Auntie S as a present. She love that



…….. then I heard "Scuba come here" It was mom and she must be calling me to give me food




It must be food. (Sorry Auntie S. Food is more important. Your present can wait)

FOOD Glorious FOOD and the thought of having competition is too much

I must run as fast as I can



Sad sad sad. Cheated again. There was no food. The humans decided to have our photograph taken




How disappointing but it was a good day out

When can we go to the beach mom?

I am back

Everyone is asking where I have been. I didn’t go anywhere. Really – STUCK at home.

Mom has been busy with work (what is that!!!). She said she need the laptop and I have to wait. Pout Pout Pout.

Finally, I have to do my ‘Pleeeeease give me your laptop, I need to talk to my friends’ look.

Finally the laptop was handed to me.





What can I post? Life has not been so interesting. Can’t go to the park, can’t go for long walks. Thanks to the rain.

Know what I have been up to.

During the day, massage my teeth by chewing bone(s),



Lie back and relax




Comes the evening (I am a truly lucky dog for I always have company in the evening), my friends will be over and we will have a great time


(hehe sometimes we play 'menage a trois'



Needless to say, at 9.30pm – it is Goodnight Everyone


Sometimes I do have company at sleep

My twin (this is a toy from my godpa. His name is BT)


...and this is Patch


I am glad to be back.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL

Let me start the New Year, by dedicating my first post to my purrfect siblings - Ginger and Pepper (aka The Spice in my Life).

Unfortunately, not all cats and dogs can get along with each other. Some cats and dogs do become best buddies, while some just tolerate each other, or they don't get along at all.

Many have said that the terrier group (i.e. ME the Minaiature English Bull Terrier), have an instinctual drive to chase and attack. You will not see this happening in our house. Ginger, Pepper and I do play, eat and sleep together.

For tolerance, Ginger and Pepper do tolerate my friends when they come over. In fact, they do mingle amongst us. BRAVO to them. Those who know my two Jack Russel friends, Jack and Joey. They are after all Ginger's godbrother.
Let's not forget Pepper, he is Rafv's play mate. They will chase and tease each other whole day.
And because of them, Herbie has overcome his fear of felines.

I want to thank my siblings for teaching me RESPECT and TOLERANCE. I love you both very much.

A little trivial about cats and dogs:
Where do you think the phrase – ‘Raining cats and dogs’ come from?
Cats and Dogs were assigned as companions to the ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses.
The cats and dogs in ancient Egyptian mythology are associated with the climate.
The cat was associated with rain, while dogs were associated with wind. A really heavy storm, which combined lashing strong winds and torrential down-pouring rain, indicated that both cats and dogs had a hand in the storm, i.e., it was raining cats and dogs!

The English version was; In the early 17th century London, cats and dogs often did their mice-hunting on the rooftops of buildings. It certainly does rain a lot in London, and the poor animals were sometimes caught there during a storm, to be washed from the rooftops, over the eaves, and to fall on the top of startled passersby.

We promise all our friends in Singapore and Malaysia, we have nothing to do with the recent whether.


All three of us in the family would like to wish all our friends

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
May 2007 be PURRFECT (from Ginger and Pepper)
and for all who are investing their monies, may 2007 be a BULLish year (from me the BULL terrier)

Love from

Ginger, Scuba and Pepper
