July Pug Meet

Nicejellybean: Happy puggies and their slaves made their way to Manisan House for an evening of pugball for pugs and a BBQ dinner. The adults were busy chatting and eating whilst them puggies mingled (or sniffed) around. We had 3 pugs at the party - Giant Pingpong, Piggy Puggy and Donut. Donut came in his football jersey and tried to play football with Pingpong but he was not interested.

Donut: Let's play football ...

Donut: Awww ... he is not interested.

Nicejellybean: The weather was warm and breezy. Piggy Puggy kept us busy that night, who if left unguarded likes to sneak herself into the trashbin looking for leftovers.

*Puggy ... NO,NO,NO.*

Nicejellybean: Our host arranged the BBQ dinner outdoors in an old rustic corner. Most chipped in to BBQ so it was fun. We had BBQ-ed chicken wings, lamb, sausages, coleslow, mashed potato, garlic bread and honey buttered bananas.

Nicejellybean: Lastly, thank goodness for pug meetups where Donut gets to meet other furkids just like him. Bringing Donut to such event helps him to socialise and grow up to be an active, friendly and social pug. The next good thing for us is that Donut is usually tired out for 2 days. Yeah, baby !

*Happy Donut*

FIFA Pug Cup 2006

Coolboy: In the spirit of the on-going FIFA World Cup 2006, we bought Donut his first football jersey. Meet the Pugballer from Brazil, Donudinho a.k.a. Ronaldinho !!






Donut: Donudinho - 3 Coolboy - 0 Woof ! Woof !

Like an Angel

Nicejellybean: I am so happy that Donut is quite attached to his bed I bought for him recently. It makes me smile to see him lying in his bed during naptime or when he is poofed out. This is so whenever Coolboy and I pick Donut up after his weekly grooming session, he gets very sleepy and tired when he reaches home and become very quiet like an angel (see the pics below) Hmmm ... I wonder what Donut does during grooming time. My guess is he's playing with other furkids and looking at other furkids getting groomed. I took some pics of Donut resting ... looking very cute as usual.

Pug Social At Manisan House

Nicejellybean: Tonight is Pug Social Night in Malaysia. Julie, our host prepared roast lamb, mashed potatoes with south african soup. I brought coleslow and garlic bread.The pugmeet was a small affair with 8 slaves and 3 masters. The masters and slaves enjoyed themselves very much. Thanks again, Julie for providing a happy place for us.

Nicejellybean: Here's Donut beside his carrying bag waiting patiently for us to take him to Pug Meet.

Donut: Are u guys ready ? Come on lets go ...

What is this ?? YUCKS.

Nicejellybean: This funny cartoon pretty much sums up Donut's way of saying "I hate tablets ... pfffft". He throws out food that he does not like just like in the cartoon. We have to hide his tablet in his favourite food such as bread, ice-cream or his treats. Sometimes, the trick works and most times it doesn't work.

A Candid Shot ...

Donut: Nobody wants to play with me. I wanna go out for a walk.

Feet Fettish

Coolboy: Donut has feet fettish ! He positions himself at my feet all the time - on my bed during bedtimes, under the computer table when I'm working-from-home, during meal times etc. He follows me and my feet anywhere I go !!! Here's some pics of Donut beside my feet.

Donut: I like to stick close to humans. Wherever you go, I will follow you.

Poor Guy

Nicejellybean: Recently, Donut developed a small red patch behind his right ear. In order to prevent him from scratching the infected area, we bought Donut his first conehead. As expected, he is not happy to wear the conehead but he has no choice. We only put it on whenever Donut has the itchy itch. The Vet prescribed a cream and anti-itch tablets. He also shaved the area around the red patch so that the skin can heal better.

Donut: I don't like to wear a conehead [growl][whine]

Donut's New Bed

Nicejellybean: After reading Shelby's Blog about Lamiedoodle, I thought that it's about time Donut should have his own personal space ie. in a proper bed. So over the weekend, we bought Donut his first new bed. In fact, we have been toying with the idea of getting a "bed" for him because he was still baby and buying a bed would be a risky thing (Donut might bite or worst peepoo in it!) Anyway, here's some pics of Donut trying out his bed.

Donut: I like it in here .... sniff, sniff and scratch, sratch.


Donut: It really feels so nice and comfy ... [sleepy look]

Nicejellybean: The size of this bed fits him nicely. Right now, we try to train him to snuggle, sleep, sit and stay in there as long as possible.

Donut is One Year Old Today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DONUT !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DONUT !

Tickles & Kisses,

from Coolboy & Nicejellybean

How to Resist Temptation Game

Donut: Most of the time, Coolboy treats me like his precious. He will hug me, kiss me and treat me like his son. Then, he “tortures” me by putting my favorite food beside or on my paws and see how long I can resist the temptation. Ha ! Ha! I think it's Coolboy's dream for me to break the World Guinness Record and make him famous. Ooooh ... I hate this training so much. Everybody please see the video below and u will know why.

Resist Temptation Attempt I – Which I failed ....

Resist Temptation Attempt II : I break the 25 seconds record ... !



Donut : Now u see. My father (Coolboy) is very mean, isn't he? Woof, Woof !!!

Pug Policeman

Donut: Look, this is a my new shirt. I can fetch, iritate and bite all things not human.

CanI have some more ...

Nicejellybean: This is what Donut's expression looks like when we say "NO" to him whenever he wants to have a share of our food. He would give us his dissatisfied look and continues to scowl and glare at us. Most of the time, we'll let him have a teeny weeny bit of human food. Donut usually continues to stare at us if he wants more ! Donut likes anything which is edible. Oh! need i mention ... Donut also likes non-edible foods as well !

Donut wants to go too !

Donut: I found out today that my Papa have to travel to the UK for product training. OMG, who's going to sleep with me? who's going to clean my cage? who's going to give me daily training and most importantly who's going to bath me and feed me and “sayang” me and clean my wrinkle face, sing night night song for me ??? I don't want u to go!!! I don't care. Grrrrrrr. So the moment he took out his big suitcase for packing, I straight away hopped into it and stayed there hoping he will take me too.

Nicejellybean: You cannot follow your Papa because UK does not allow Pet Travel Scheme. Donut dear, your Papa is only away for 3 weeks and will be back soon. Be a good boy , OK?

New Outfit for CNY

Donut: Gong Xi Gong Xi Fa Chai! Here's wishing everybody (Puggies & Slaves) another 365 more days of prosperity, good health and much happiness in life. Mommy could not find me an oriental chinese costume so I had to make do with a "sort of" red outfit which suited me well. Don't I look handsome!

[Tips for a Lazy Person] How to work out your dog?

Coolboy: Here's a tip on how to give your doggie a good work-out ...

Step 1. Get a remote control car ( Hint: aim for a car which is a bit bigger then your doggie's soft toy) This RC car on the left cost me about RM30 only.

Step 2. Get your doggie's favourite soft toy ready .

Step 3. Attach the soft toy on the RC car with a rubber band and test run it. Ha! Ha! Enjoy!

FYI, Donut is chasing his toy for a good 10 minutes. Now that's what I call a good exercise for the day!

At the Beach

Nicejellybean: On NY's eve, both Coolboy and I together with Donut travelled to the Seaside. All of us were excited about the trip because it would be Donut's first time seeing the big blue sea. It took us approximately 1 hour drive from Kuala Lumpur before arriving at Port Dickson Beach.

The Big Blue Sea

Nicejellybean: We found a small secluded place near the beach away from those "peeps". Poor Donut was on leash the whole time because there were Malay people around and we had to be mindful & respect their beliefs.

Donut mesmerized by the big blue sea

Coolboy: Donut saw some pigeons fluttering nearby and decided to go after the birds. His leash was suddenly loose and we panicked for few seconds. Alas, we managed to pull him back on his leash.

Nicejellybean: A happy Nut running along the shoreline was certainly the highlight of the evening. We noticed Donut did not quite like the water and his tiny feet always trys to avoid the waves that came up the shoreline. However, he loves running along the beach into the empty spaces. I was huffing and puffing trying to keep up with him. It was also a good workout for me! Donut ran 2 long trips up and down the beach before calling it a day :)

Have a Merry Christmas !

Donut: Ho!Ho!Ho! This year is my first christmas. During Christmas I was sent for pet boarding at Pet Tales for 3 nights because both Mommy & Daddy had to go away to attend Uncle & Auntie's wedding. It's always scary for them to send me for boarding because they never know what bad habits I pick up from other doggies. This time when I came back from boarding, I forgot my toilet manners and started peeing on the floor instead of in the cage. Afterwards, I was scolded and locked up for 15 mins. Sigh!

Heavy Nut

Nicejellybean: We measured Donut's weight at the Vet Clinic during a routine health check-up. Donut is now 6.7 kg. You're getting heavier and bigger, Nut!

Dooggie Biscuit

Nicejellybean: Donut is very protective about doggie biscuits. He eats them everyday as treats. Donut eats Bark Brand Biscuit for Dog - lamb flavour. Apparently, eating the biscuits also freshens breath and cleans teeth as well. Besides doggie biscuits, Donut likes to eat plain white bread too.

 

Funny & Confused Nut

Nicejellybean: Donut looking confused for a while because we made funny faces at him. Ha!ha! When we give Donut an odd look or make weird noises, Donut will tilt his head from left to right. Donut: Ermmm what ru doing, peeps ?

 

Frisbee Time

Nicejellybean: Donut playing with his new toy - a frisbee which we had bought at the local pet store. At first I had serious doubts that Donut would know how to play with this new toy less grasp it in his teeny mouth but he picked it up with his teeth when we first showed it to him. Amazing! I am happy to say that he is very pro at playing frisbee game with us. The frisbee also doubles up as another game which Donut likes ... tug-of-war!

The Nut is Bored

Donut: Hey peeps, it's getting too quiet at pugsquad forum. I want to go for pugsquad party but I guess it's not happenning this month. Nicejellybean: Everybody busy with something or other especially during year end lar. You know what, if you are a good boy we'll take you up to Fraser's Hill again. How's that sounds ?
