Happy Days!!!

Ahhhh.... It's finally September! That means cooler weather is approaching! I had the most horrendous summer this year! A bad bout of hot spots that wouldn't heal and three visits to the vet in a month! I can now finally report that I have fully recovered. I have been wearing the stupid cone for the longest time and I am glad it is finally over! Phew!

Last month, I made a few trips to Penfold Park to admire some flowers and to relieve some stress.

I must say Penfold Park is really quite pretty in summer, the flowers are in full bloom and you can even get to do some bird watching.

It was the summer school holidays and I also had the pleasure of the company of LY and Zoe. They are so fun to hang out with!

I hope they will take some time out of their busy school schedule to join me on my future Penfold Park trips .

I will be attending a poolside birthday party in two weeks. I have not swam since I arrived in Hong Kong and I must tell you....I can hardly contain my excitement!

Happy weekend everyone and stay healthy!!!

What does Summer means?

Summer has not officially started and it's hot hot hot here in Hong Kong!!! It's about 32°C/90°F during the day and I am suffering! For me, summer means hot spots are here to stay.

I have been battling a severe case of hot spots since last month and Mom had to bring me to the groomer's for my early summer cut again! Here's one last photo before I said goodbye to all my glorious hair!

And now, I have transformed into a lion again!!!

No, I am a Friendly Lion.

We were all surprised that I didn't look that fat afterall! Take a look at my previous summer cuts here. It's nice to feel cooler and lighter now. Come run around with me at Penfold Park in my latest video below:

And here is a clip of my sister Ashley who simply loves to dance.



Have a fabulous and cool Sunday everyone!!!

An Early Summer Hair Cut

Summer has not officially started, but I am already spotting my new lion haircut a few weeks ago. I really have no choice because I have been getting hot spots again, not sure if it is due to the high humidity or the stress from boarding because the humans went on trips without me again!

And you know what? I look like a barrel after the hair cut. Where did my waist go? I got weighed in at the vet and horrors of horrors! I am 41kg/90lbs!!! So, now I have to be on a strict diet to shed off the extra fats. :(

Anyhow, I do like my new hairdo, it makes me feel younger, lighter and cooler. Below are some pics from My Secret Garden.

 

And here are some silly pics of me and my sister.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!!!

Happy Year of The Tiger!!!

 

Hello Friends!!! Apologies for disappearing for the whole month of February! I can't believe it is March already! Dad, Mom and Ashley were back in Singapore for the Chinese New Year holidays and I went for boarding for two weeks and ended up with a horrible hot spot on my forehead right below my birthmark! So, the dreaded cone is back. To make things worse, I threw up five times when I got back. Anyhow, the vomiting has stopped and the hot spot is healing nicely. Phew...

 

Mom is super upset because she reformatted her old laptop without making a backup of my mails and they are all now gone with the wind! All the emails that I have received from my friends all over the world for the past few years have all vanished and I have lost all their email addresses too! If you are reading this now, please send me a mail at dino@lovedino.com so that I can continue to keep in touch with you. I am terribly sorry to for not being able to answer some of your mails as a result. I am still thinking if I should forgive Mom for her grave mistake.

Have a good week everyone and I will be back to talk about my 4th birthday and my sister, Ashley who has turned 7 months old.

A New Summer Cut

Roar!!! Hear the Lion Roar!!!!


So this is my new summer cut, it is a hair-cut for golden retrievers quite unique to Taipei as I have never seen this hairstyle anywhere else before.


The groomer gave me a nifty bandana after the shave.


Look at what's left with my tail!


I have furry boots too!


Did I hear you giggling at me?


Remember the horrific hot spots that I had two years ago?


I was shaved for the first time then. This time round, the cut is a lot fancier, don't you think?


The ticks are gone, but I still have to wear the dreaded e-collar. Grandma has been cleaning my wounds several times a day and they are healing well. Sigh... can't wait to get the collar off!

Here's wishing everyone a fun, safe and tick-free summer!
