Huskee has tagged me. What is going on??? I don't mind tug but I don't like tag because tugging means play and tagging means I have to say somethig about myself.
See what I mean about tugging. Love the game (jaw exercise)
Now back on the subject matter. They have changed the rule and now, I have to list 5 things that make a true doggie friend..
1) Must not bark at my friends when they are at my main door 2) Always share my food, treats and toys with my friends when they visit or when I see them at the park 3) Generous with licks and kisses for doggies and our owners 4) Stay over welcome when my friends' parents are out of town or need a break 5) High Success rate in 'introducing' my friends to cats
I tag Tommy, Jack (through Joey), Jaffe, Chewie (through Rafv) and Bear Bear.
Yes I am English (but born in Melbourne, Australia and move to Singapore when I was 3months old). Doesn't matter where I was born or bred. I am still a true blue ENGLISH BULL TERRIER (MINIATURE)
And yes SCUBA (S elf C ontain U nderwater B reathing A pparatus) is my name. My parents met at Scuba Diving lessons hence the name
Ok enough of me:
How about Rafv, and all the Siberian Huskies living in hot Singapore? Where can they go, that they can call home ….. yes you got it THE FRIDGE
What about Sharpies who try to camouflage themselves
….. and the maltese cross shih tzu (aka Huskee) who thinks he need a good clean
And the bull terrier who need to look macho i.e. like riding a Harley Davidson
At the end of the day, hopefully we all don’t end up on someone’s bun (why do they call sausages - hotdog? !!!)
I was told last week that 2 friends whom I have never met – Rocky and Morris had passed on. Mom knew Aunty Marty (Rocky’s mummy), and mom was saddened by the news.
That night before we went to bed, both mom and I just hug each other and we prayed and talked about Rocky and Morris. Mom said they were friends forever (in life and in death) and they are now in a nice place in doggie’s heaven.
Both Rocky and Morris were bullies from Canada and they were STARS in their own special way.
Rocky was a very special dog to Aunty Marty and family. He never failed to put a smile on Aunty Marty’s face. He was always in show rings but he was not allowed to participate because he was nuetered and also he was a funny size - too big for a minature and too small for a standard male. How strange!!! that sounds like me. I am a miniature bull terrier too but often people think I am a standard for I am almost 23kgs (for a miniature). Well at least I know there was someone out there who shared the same fate like me. Besides that, he was also very involved in fundraising for bullies who needed financial aid to ensure they were given a chance to find homes that will love them. BRAVO and three cheers for Rocky.
If you wish to visit Auntie Marty’s website, you may go to: http://www.btshoppingmall.com/ , or click on my link under “ Bull Terrier Shopping Mall”
Aunty Marty, Uncle Fred and Madison sure do miss him loads. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Morris – he is a celebrity. His book will be out soon. If you like to read about him, the book is called “A GUIDE DOG FOR THE THICK – The misadventures of Morris”. The book is written by Morris’ owner Terry Doe

They were be missed by both of us and all those who knew them. God bless both of them.
As you, all know by now, both Jack and Joey (J&J) came to stay with me.
For starter, Auntie S made us lie down together so she can have a ‘family’ picture
We had great fun (besides Auntie S’ 4 days vigorous exercises).
Let me tell you why; everyone knows that, staying over at Scuba’s house equals putting on weight. So Auntie S decided to make us exercise – besides the 3 long walks we have during the day).
The exercises are - Stretching
(As you all know, Joey is the only active one so he didn’t have to do the next couple of exercises – lucky him)
Standing for Jack (to strengthen his hind legs)
And me … yes I had to jump like 100times
Phew!!! After that Auntie S allow us to do whatever we want to do. Since we are all charge up now, we run round the house like 3 crazy dogs
Goodness gracious – why do you guys have to tag a lazy dog like me. Worst, I can’t tag any of my friends’ coz they are all used (that was my mom’s fault. She went away and took her laptop with her. By the time I read everyone’s blog, it is too late).
Well according to everyone’s blog, this is how we play the game
1. The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." 2. Then player tag 5 friends and list their names. 3. The furries who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. 4. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
My 5 weird habits
1. Statue is my second name. I can stand very still for hours even with distractions all around me.
2. I am a creature of habit. At 0730am, I get up to have my breakfast (usually cheese and milk). Come 5pm, I will be at the kitchen waiting for my meal to be served. Then at 9.30pm, I will be facing (literary with my face against the door) my bedroom door hoping and anticipating someone will open the door.
3. I am name Scuba for a reason. I love swimming – dry swimming (not mahjong) on the carpet. I will pretend to swim and bob my head up ever so often to try to breath.
4. I love face massage…. by bigger dogs. I would stick my face in all the bigger dogs’ mouth to have the well deserved massage.
5. Peace no fight. Kissing is my specialty. I love kissing human and dogs alike. If there is a fight, I will be there – squeezing in between the 2 fighting dogs and start to kiss them. When there are no dog fights, let me tell you, my kisses are intense so much so, my aunties think I am cleaning their dogs’ teeth.
Who shall I tag. Hmmmmmm I will tag Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta and Echo (my imaginary friends).
Cakes, flowers, presents, treats and all things nice
A birthday is the date on which a person was born. It is customary in many cultures (including the doggie culture) to celebrate the anniversary of one's birthday in some way, for example by having a birthday party with friends in which gifts are given. It is also customary to treat someone especially well and generally accede to their wishes on their birthday.
Talking about gifts, I had loads of nice gifts on my birthday. Because of my breed, I love chewing and you can see from the video which gift is most sort after
My mom tried to give me this sashimi treat (even open it) and I am not interested. I prefer the Dingo bone.
My mom was also thrill with her gifts. A particular someone (who truly love the both of us), gave mom ‘some kind of a pony’.
She has been asking “how do I maintain this?” Everyone said “give the pony a brush every time Scuba has one”. At first, I almost died. The thought of me having competition at home was too much but ‘NEIGH’. Then the other thing that cross my mind was going to bed with a female horse (I am not sure about the sex of this thing and am assuming it is female), would give me nightMAREs.
When I got introduce to this ‘animal’, I was so relieved. It was a handbag (or purse, since the particular someone is American) made of pony hair. I thought pony or horses, pull carriages but this one has a COACH tied to it. Auntie G said the hair comes from the pony’s tail (phew my hair is short. Look out all you long hair dogs).
I am referring to those born in August (before the 24th) …..which I believe falls under the zodiac sign of Leo.
The majestic lion (we doggies are no less for we are GRAND)
Wow, from what I know, they are the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters. Besides that, they are also ambitious, courageous, dominant, enthusiastic, kind, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident and warm. Thank goodness, I don’t believe in stars (I am the STAR).
First let me talk about the LIONS. My 3 friends Joey, Huskee and Tommy are born under that Big Cat sign. They both are celebrating their birthday tomorrow in Sentosa. Happy Barkday Joey, Huskee and Tommy.
Talk about lions they are tenacious and indeed, both Joey and Tommy are tenacious where balls are concern.
I got Tommy a blue ball but decided to keep it for myself. Anyway, he can play with it if he comes over
To be fair, Joey is courageous too – that is why he is with the SCDF in search and rescue.
Tommy on the other hand is energetic (boy has he got loads of them) and dominant that is why he always win when comes to disagreement.
Oh and Huskee. He is strong willed and I believe that’s why he get’s everything.
Next, let me talk about the Lioness in my life (I love them all)
To begin, there is my mom. Let me tell you, she is the ALPHA in my life. Definitely ambitious, strong willed. independent and self confident. She runs and controls my life. Quite fiery at times if I may add (not only is she the Lioness but she is born under the Sun’s number – OUCH).
My 2 lioness are my godmothers. I have 2 (one Singaporean and the other one Japanese).
My Singaporean godmother is lovely. She makes meat patties for me once maybe twice a week. I think she bears the softer side of the lion – warm and enthusiastic. The other one is my Japanese godmother. She is tenacious and has a passion for luxury….very DEAR to me (hehe, I mean she has expensive taste)
Last but not least, my god-aunt (I think that is what she is to me, after all she is my Singaporean godmother’s sister). She is sincere, genuine and trusting
Here they are: My 2 godmothers and godaunt
Lions do have a naughty side too. (Check this out) - They have a strong sex drive and are so attracted to the opposite sex that they find it hard to be constant; they can be so intensely sexual as to become dissolute. They may have numerous love affairs for their love of pleasure and beauty is liable to drive them from one attractive partner to another. Hmmmmm, let me check with all the 4 lioness to see if this is true.
What a weekend – 2 guests visited me (one I had not seen for a looooooooong time and one complete stranger).
Huskee (my Little Big Brother). This is Huskee’s 2nd visit to my house. He was kept busy by his nose – smelling the carpet (Yes, Huskee, the smell are from friends who visit me regularly).
He was so excited. Can’t keep still. You can see from the picture – he wants to wander off again
Look at that cheeky face. He pee-ed on my doggy bank
Below picture is my piggy (no my doggie) bank (doesn’t he look so much like me – how can anyone mark my ‘twin’). Huskee, don’t tell anyone but I pee-ed over yours hahaha.
Now, for my 2nd guest. He is Max (pretty common name in the doggy world). Max is 5months old and he is indeed a very lucky dog. He was adopted from ASD.
Before coming to my house, mom thought it was a good idea to introduce us and see how we take to each other, so she took me to Max’s house.
"Hello Max, I am Scuba. Really nice meeting you".
We hit it off real well. After ‘inspecting’ each other, we even had a game of football (we both can’t decide who was going to be the goalkeeper)
Talking about energy, Max is so full of it. I was exhausted and he still wants to play.
"Hey go ask the maid to get me some water please"
He does look skinny and I made no qualms for telling him that. I said " you look a wee bit skinny. Better get you over to my place for fattening.
I woke up yesterday morning and was greeted by not 2 cats but 2 doggies.
Jack and Joey spent yesterday with me. Thursday 13th July was a day to remember – no human. ONLY 3 terriers and 2 cats (yes the 3 terriers oops, I mean terrors chased Auntie S away).
For those who know Jack, he ALWAYS announces his arrival whether he is at home, at the park, at my house or at any of our friends’ house. Surprise, surprise – Jack did not announce his arrival yesterday. Don’t mean to be rude but I slept till it was wake up time before I realized Jack and Joey were at my place. Jack always look COOL but he is the barky one.
Among the 3 terrors and the cats, we promise not to tell what we did at home (Auntie S, you better check anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking aka FOOD).
Check the meat section
Check the cookie jar
Check the fruits in the fridge (ohhhhh Jack and Joey love those bananas)
Check the treats department
Sorry Ginger and Pepper, we live in a clean house so no mousy for you. Knowing you guys, both of you are too lazy to chase the rats around...oh excuse me we live in harmony no chasing rats, no war no terrorising
I am sure even if we have them, you will live happily with them to the extent of sharing your milk.
I don’t know where my mom had gone to!!! Disappeared again. Leaving me at home. I'm Mr. Lonely again
Before she went away, there was something about her that didn’t make sense to me. I kept asking her where she was going and everytime, she says ‘in dear’ – Where does she want me to go? I am already IN the house. Does she want me to go in the bedroom, in the bathroom, in the kitchen – yeah good idea.
Anyway, it was a short trip. She left on Wednesday and just got back this morning.
She told me she was in a country where animals are tolerated or in fact highly regarded. Something about them walking / roaming on very busy roads.
She showed me pictures of some of the animals but I still don’t know where she went or what dog breed they were. Well at least one of them look a bit like me.
Happy birthday to us Chewie, Rafv and I . Happpy birthday to US
No birthday is complete without the cakes. Yes indeed, 3 cakes for the 3 birthday boys ( I was told Rafv almost finished half his own cake whilst Chewie and I had to share ours – NOT FAIR). Jaffe’s Papa tried Chewies’ fruit cake too. Good for dogs good for human.
If you had read my previous post, you would have seen my birthday wish and Guess What, my wish came true ………Thunder (extreme right) whom I have not seen for ages came to the pawty. Oh I was so glad to see him. He got the most kisses from me.
As usual, the human wanted a doggie group photos (not many of my friends were coorperative) but then we tried…… My other friends who came were:
At the end of the party, my friends were given gift trays – compliments from the 3 birthday boys The gift trays are filled with representation – 1) The numbers 3&4 you notice represents our age (4 for Rafv’s and 3 for me. Chewie’s 5, must be below somewhere)
2)The alphabets contain our names
3)Doggie shapes represents our friends
4) The star represents that all our friends are STARs
5) The round pattie represents my round butt wahahaha.
The goodies are all home cooked so I hope mom told everyone that it has to be refrigerated.
Thank you all for making us feel special yesterday.
Photos complements from Jaffe’s papa. Herbie’s mom and dad took some too which I will post later.
I'm a (English) Mini Bull Terrier, born in Melbourne, Australia and now live in Singapore. I am very friendly with dogs and human and have a dry sense of humor (that’s why I am of English origin).
Bullies are not for everyone, we are special dogs for special people. My mom is real special that's why I am with her.
Why Muscle Boy? - Because my god brother in Boston, MA, USA (another Bullie) is call Muscles. He is much loved by my mom and godpa. Muscles left us on the 05th January 08 after giving 16years of happiness to all of us. He will always be remembered and live in our hearts.
Despite my ferocious appearance, I am a real softy and have my own special charm. I am: loving, clownish, very stubborn and intense. I am definitely not a fighter, hunter, watchdog but a confirmed lapdog.
Favorite things I love; kissing dogs and human, huckle-butting, trancing, eating, sleeping, selective hearing, speaking (oh I mean barking) on command, giving a paw or two, chewing, watching movies with dogs (especially bullies) in it and blogging.
