Chinese New Year

This year Chinese New Year is held from 7th February to be exact and the festival lasts for 15 days. Over here in Malaysia, the festival is celebrated on a less grandeur scale as compared to the people in China/Hong Kong Kong and Taiwan. On the eve, we all attended the REUNION dinner at my Grandma's house and we also enthusiastically wore red on that night. She cooks the most yummylicious and delicious dishes for this special day. My hoomans ate sweet and sour prawns, fried chicken wings, fried fish, green vegetables, duck soup and pork stew. Me = zero.

But OOoooo ... I smell different kind of foods around the house these days. Hee hee, I smell (anti-clockwise) mandarin oranges, pork jerky, nian guo, sweet rice crackers and pork floss. I ate some pork jerky and boy, it tasted gooood that I insisted on having more. Oh no, I think me .... and Nicejellybean have really put on weight after eating and eating and eating for the past 4days ! Boy, we were stuffed. Somehow, my weight has increased to 7.9kgs so Coolboy decided that I should go on a diet until I am back to my ideal weight of 7.5kgs. (shucks!)

I also wore so many new clothes because Nicejellybean bought 4 outfits for me for Chinese New Year. I think because she believes it is good luck to wear new clothes on the first, second, third and fourth day. She bought them cheap from the 'pasar malam' ( weekly night market) and 1 -2 year old baby section in Carrefour Hypermarket. I likey them all because I look like a pwetty chinese princess.

The favourite red "cheongsam" which I wore for the Reunion Dinner on Chinese New Year Eve.

Doncha I look like a pwetty Princess ? Where is my Prince CHARMING , where ?


I call this my most oriental one because of the dragon motif at the back.

Nicejellybean has even bought a cute outfit for my Valentines Day which you must see ... in the next post.

Wishing You & Your Family "A Happy & Prosperous 2008" & "Gong Xi Fa Cai"! We hope that everyone are having a wonderful time celebrating with their family and friends.

Gong Xi Fa Chai !

Happy Chinese New Year. Wishing you and everydoggy another" healthy and prosperous" 2008 years ahead.

A Basketful of Toys

I certainly know where to go looking for toys and playthings. I choose my toy or anything that catches my eye from this basket.

I do have a special liking towards this hairy lion which may soon be a 'bald lion' because I lurve to munch on his hairy mane. Sometimes, the lion's hair did not digest fully in my stomach and it comes out from my butt when I poo. It can be quite disgusting and embarrasing when that happens ! Afterwards, I was banned from playing with the Lion and it was hidden away from me.

He is my best buddy and I like to snuggle up beside him for an afternoon snooze.

However, when I loose interest in my toys, I leave them lying here and there on the floor just like that !

Up up and up but how do I come down?

I have no idea how she managed to climb up our side table

In order to get to her favorite cookies

But we knows that ....

Someone is worried now about how to get down from the table.

Mimi wants to play

FYI, if we do not give Mimi enough attention (like ignore her for 5-10 minutes), Mimi will secretly transform into Cat Woman and remain still for a very long time ... looking at us with threatening eyes. Till we give her a treat or play with her. Scary.




Oops ... better play with Mimi now. Byiee !!

Wonder Clown

It squeaks when I press its belly and I can also play tug-of-war with the arms. The Clown is a special present from my hooman Auntie who is visiting from USA. She chose the toy for me from Petsmart, a huge pet store. Well, the place sounds like my kind of 'Disneyland' to me.

The clown is the latest to my collection of fun toys. Oh did I mention that I also chew the little bugger when I am naughty. No matter how hard I chew his head, it's still intact hmmm ... not for long. It is now top of my favourite toy list.

New Year Eve

Nicejellybean prepared a special new year eve dinner for all of us including ME. For the first time, I had a little taste of spagetti with lamb.

Looking tentatively and waiting patiently for Nicejellybean to finnish preparing the dinner in the kitchen

Mimi's dinner - spaghetti and lamb

Coolboy and Nicejellybean finnished the rest of the spaghetti with minced beef and bolognaise sauce. They had extra side dishes too - chicken soup and salad. I wanted to have some bolognaise sauce but I was not allowed .. Boo Hoo.

We all stayed at home to usher in the new year quietly. There were firework displays around the Kuala Lumpur city. Such places were crowded so we prefered to watch the celebrations over on live TV. At 12 midnight, we heard the loud boom, boom ,boom coming from the distant fireworks displays which signalled the end of 2007 and the begining of a new year 2008. Here's wishing everybody another year that brings good friends, good health, good luck, good things !

Dear Donut - We miss you and you will always be in our thoughts. Happy New Year !

Spa at De Fairy

Guess what ? I had a wonderful spa for Christmas at De Fairy Pet Spa. The Pet Spa is next door to Pet Tales, the Pet Shop where I occasionally go for basic grooming. I went for an aromatic sea salt spa package which cost RM50. They say the sea salt will help to remove the dead skin and make my coat shine. Oh well, I do have sensitive skin so I need to pay special care to maintain my skin.

First I have a bath using a special shampoo and conditioner from Pet Esthe

A shower to rinse off the bubbles. Wow, I am loving it !

Next I go into a wooden bath tub for a sea salt bath and I was soaked for 20 minutes. Coolboy chose the peppermint flavour sea salt for me. The bath tub had coloured rose petals in it which smelled aromatic.

Oooh ! I also get a relaxing rub and body massage from the lovely Groomer. Sigh.

After that, I was given another rinse with water to cleanse my skin

I was such a playful gal. I could not sit still and was playing with water in the bath tub.

Then the Groomer towel dry my whole body. See I could not stand still and kept turning left and right.

Next, I was blown dry by a powerful blow dryer. I liked this part cos I like my fur to be really dry and soft so I stood very still. However, I did not like the loud noise coming from the blow dryer, so scary.

Me falling asleep and having sweet dreams after the feel good spa session. On the whole it has been a good experience and I would not mind to try it again. The spa was calming and soothing. My fur is softer and even smelled like flowers in the spring time. What a lovely chrismassy present !

Lookiee I am Swimming

How is everydoggy's holiday ? Both Coolboy and Nicejellybean are having their holidays now and so they took me for a swimming lesson today. At first it was a terrifying experience when Coolboy 'threw' me into a huge big pool, I did not know what to do and suddenly I sank to the botom of the pool.

Coolboy had to rescue me a few times before I caught the hang of it. I realised I had to use all my four legs and paddle very quickly otherwise, I may drown.

Finally, here is a video showing how I learnt to swim on my own :

After the horrible swimming lesson, Coolboy decided to award me a good SPA for Christmas. Next up - A Day of Pampering and Indulgence. Stay tune.

and happy holidays !!

Introducing Aunty Sally's

Last weekend, we all went to visit Aunty Sally's home in Cheras. Aunty Sal has 2 female pugs named Pinky and Baby. A while back in November, I was sent off for boarding to her home when my Dad and Mom went holidaying to Krabi, Thailand. The boarding fees was cheap, you see only RM100 for 2 weeks but this offer is exclusive for me because Aunty Sally luurves pugs. At first I was aprehensive of staying there because Baby was so cho-lor (unlady like) and I could not get along with her. Then I discovered Baby is actually a playful pug, like me. Pinky was quiet and tires easily so I played with Baby. We wrestled and jumped on each other which was fun !

(L-R) Baby, ME and Pinky

Anyways on Sunday, Dad and Mom left me at Aunty Sal's for an hour so I could play with Baby and they went off for a quick morning breakfast. It was nice meeting Pinky and Baby again. We also met a cute chihuahua who was constantly shivering and had watery eyes. At first we all thought that she was cold or afraid of us pugs but Aunty Sal says the chihuahua was just being a Drama Queen ! (muahahaha). Sorry no pics of the chihuahua.

I became real tired after the visit and slept in my carrier the whole way back to my home. Must be the dang 'heat' I am having now. I tire easily and do not have much apetite for food. Oh well, 2 more weeks to go and then I should be back to normal, right ?

On Heat

She's still a moody pug on day 3.

The Heat is On

Nicejellybean: Today, our Mimi girl is officially a young lady. Mimi was 8 months old in November therafter we kinda expecting a heat coming in December. We discovered tiny red spots (it's actually very small droplets) on our floor and so we knew. On the first day Mimi was not as active, looks rather moody and we noticed she prefers to be by herself in her den most of the time. There's also more shedding than usual.

Confused ?

Mimi is using a puppy panty with pads but we took them off when we saw her turning round and round in an attempt to discard it. She circled more than 15 times we thought she'll faint. Oh well she will just have to get use to wearing it .

A Spa for Pets

On Sunday, I went for my weekly grooming at Pet Tales in Taman Desa. When I arrived, I was surprised to see so many furkids . The owners of Pet Tales had setup a new Pet Spa next door and organised an opening celebration that day so everybody came to give their support. There were free sample of yummy dog food specially prepared and served at the Pet Cafe. Cupcakes, cookies and cakes just for dogs baked fresh from the oven. I liked the cheese and bluberry cupakes best.

I had lots of fun playing chasing with other fur friends. I was so excited meeting my own kind, I did not stop running around the shop. Coolboy and Nicejellybean had a hard time trying to catch me.

Checking out the new spa for pets

Hey what is in there ? Can I take a peek !

We met Candy who was relaxing on the sofa. Hello Candy. We will not forget you cos it's not often we get to meet a fur friend who will migrate to USA the following day. Have fun on the plane. Your owner is one lucky lady !

Sweet, sweet Candy

Jojo looking lost

By the way, I did not do the spa treatment cos the price was a little too expensive for my Dad's pocket (RM120 per session) but I overheard him talking about giving me a spa treatment as a christmas present. For details of spa treament, please refer to my sis Amber's blog. She is so lucky being "pamper" by all the professional groomers there. Oh well, let's see. So far, the Groomers at Pet Tales treat me real nice and I lurve the girls who clean, bath and do my manicure. We wish Chris and his Team all the best in their new venture !

Oh! Oh! Coolboy is actually thinking of getting me a little brother Yogi short for Yorkie. Is he cute ?

I will STARE at you

When I am hungry or I want to have a bite of what you are eating too. Yo! People time to feed me.

When I was just a Baby Girl (Part 2)

When I was just a Baby Girl (Part 1)

Thanks to TYT Doggie World for sharing this lovely story of Mimi's childhood to us !!! This video also has pics of her siblings when the pups were just newborns. I hope they do not mind sharing this video to Mimi's fans. Part 2 coming soon.

Me in the Swimming Pool

Dad and Mum decided to buy a small plastic swimming pool for me to try out ever since reading about Amber who luurves to play in the pool so much. Nah .... wrong choice because I don't appreciate swimming in the pool a bit. They should have consulted me first. The water is brrrrr cold and the pool is only half filled which was no fun.(Coolboy said we must conserve the water)

Someone please let me out!!!!
