I'm a sunshine boy. Look at my smile :D

I promise pawrents that I will get well soon!!

Sorry for not posting recently. Mummy's been busy with her work and Daddy's been "flying" around. And I been busy making pawrents worry for me :(

Well, I'm sick lately. In fact, I was having loose stools for the 2 weeks. On top of having loose stools, I had 2 bout of seizures. Seizure is a very scary thing, I would just suddenly loss all my motor controls and cramp up. During the seizure, I would also "scream". During the seizure, pawrents would cuddle me and comfort me to ensure that I will not hurt myself.

We've been to the vet but she was unable to pin point what was the actual cause of my seizure. Seizure can be caused reactively by other organs problems, but my blood test rules that out. Thus the vet suggest that we do a CT scan to determine if there is any tumors or lesions in the brain that is causing the seizure. This is secondary seizure. If there is no tumors or lesions, then I will be treated as having idiopathic epilepsy i.e the cause of seizure is unknown.

To determine what is wrong with me, pawrents will be bringing me to seek a second opinion before we decide the next course of action.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying all the yummy home cooked food prepared by Mummy and all the attention that they are showering on me :)

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, it is a tradition for the whole family to get together to have reunion dinner together.

This year we had the reunion dinner at Grandpawrent's place. The humans had something called "steamboat" which doesn't look like a boat to me =.="

Mummy: Steamboat is actually hot pot and is traditionally eaten by the people from the northern china during winter.

Anyway, while the humans enjoyed their "steamboat", Baby Clover and I got a special treat from Geraldine Yi Yi (Mummy's sister).

Here are some photos of our reunion dinner

Steam Salmon with cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. Yummy!!

Baby Clover: Smells good. Can I eat now?

Time to tuck in!

I love salmon :)

We enjoyed our reunion dinner very much and finished it in record time. The humans also had a great time catching up with each other. How I wish I can have reunion dinner everyday. Woof!

Happy Lunar New Year to all.



According to the chinese zodiac, this year is the year of the Tiger. Pawrents and I hereby wishing all a blessed and prosperous Tiger Year !!!

Hi pals, sorry for not updating my blog for some time. Mummy have been quite busy with her work after her trip back from Hong Kong.

Dec 2009 was a great month. Although Daddy was not in town to celebrate the X'mas, we still managed to enjoy the season holidays with all the partying. Both pawrents and me had also receive many presents and gifts from my doggy pals and their pawrents.

Here are some photos that pawrents took


Look at all the present under the X'mas tree

Me and all the presents and gifts

All mine?

Besides the wonderful presents and gifts from my doggy pals, I've also received 2 parcels from overseas. One is from UK while the other is from US. They are from my dearest blog pals JD & Max and Nellie & Calvert. I was so excited about the parcels that I can't wait to open them.

What's this?

Is there food inside?

Woohoo!!!! A bag of goodies

Toys, Bone and a lovely X'mas Card from Nellie & Calvert

Advert Calendar from JD & Max. Yummy!!

I'm so touched and grateful to have such wonderful pals both in this sunny island and worldwide. Thank you to all my pals for all the presents and gifts.

Guess what......after spending Christmas without Daddy, now I have to spend New Year alone as Mummy is going away for a short trip too :(

But Mummy promises to buy me presents. So I guess I will forgive her this time. While she is away, I will be going for stay over at Baby Clover's place.

I will update all the recent happenings after New Year.

Happy New Year to all my dear friends and have a great 2010 ahead!!
