Lazy Afternoon with Ashley

Thank you all for sharing the joy of the new addition to my family and all your nice comments! Everyone at home seems to be really busy except me and Ashley. All she does all day is eat, sleep, pee and poop which is actually quite similar to what I do everyday too! Hee Hee!


I have been watching over her like a big brother should. Whenever she cries, I will get up and check on her. I like to lie near to her when she naps on the sofa. She is still very small, so I am not allowed to be alone with her or lick her face, but I did managed to smell and lick her tiny toes, so I am quite happy.


She makes weird noises and the funniest expressions, I should really capture her on video to share with you all.


The not so good news today is that I have been attacked by some nasty ticks and it itched like crazy. Grandma even removed about forty bugs from my body yesterday. These creepy crawlies were moving around the floor and Dad quickly threw away the new carpet in the living room.

So I was picked up today by the groomer and horrors of horrors!!! I am going to be shaved! Not again! I hope the groomer will give me a flattering cut. Above is the last pic of me with my crowning glory before I become bald. I will share some pics tomorrow, don't you all laugh at me!

Yay!!! My Baby Sister has arrived!!!

Hello everyone! I just got back from summer camp yesterday and I am just thrilled to share with you that my sister, Ashley has arrived on 15 July!!! She weighed 3.4 kg (7.5 lbs) and measured 49 cm (19.3 in) long at birth. Thank you all so much for crossing your paws and wishing mommy a smooth and safe delivery. I really appreciate it! I am also happy to report that both Mommy and Ashley are doing great!


I am officially a Big Brother!


She was sleeping so soundly when I tried to pose with her.

I would like to share with you all some photos that were taken over the last one week.


Here's one good shot with her eyes opened.


Mommy's beaming with pride.


Little Bundle of Joy.


Daddy's Little Princess.


ZZZZzzzz...


Sleeping again!


Do you think she looks like Daddy or Mommy?


Big Big Yawn!!!



And you know what? I have also moved to a new apartment! So many excitement at one go and I was exhausted at the end of the day. I will be back with more photos and adventures with Ashley. Have a good week, everyone!!! I'll visit your blogs soon!

I am going to be a Big Brother!!!

There has been a flurry of activities going on at home recently. Lots of packing, shopping and cleaning going around. Then came a little crib, a stroller and loads of tiny pink baby clothes hanging in the laundry area.

Yes, you guessed it! We are expecting a baby girl in our family very soon and in fact, any time now!


That's me sniffing at Baby Ashley.

It is so amazing what technology can do these days and I would like to share with you a 4D ultrasound scan of Ashley in mommy's womb when she was just 28 weeks old. She even opened her eyes when Daddy called out her name!



Now, I am off to summer camp at Sue's Horse Farm while we await the arrival of my baby sister. I will be back in a week or two. Paws crossed for a smooth and safe delivery for mommy!!! Watch this space for our exciting updates!!!

Daddy's Little Helper

Guys, I missed all of you! I am way behind in keeping up to date with all your blogs, please forgive me as mommy has been feeling under the weather lately, I will try to catch up as soon as possible. Meanwhile, take good care everyone!

I have been busy helping Daddy during his golf practices and he says I make a great caddie!







Finally, I have a new video up, check out Dino the Caddie below!

Look who came to visit!

Grandaunt Teresa, Lil' Pups Bernie (my girlfriend!) and Grandma!!! The last time Grandaunt Teresa and Bernie visited was when I was still living in Shanghai. I was so happy to see them again!


One of the best things about having visitors is the presents they bring! Look at all the treats from Bernie!


I have not had these mini bones for ages!


Yummy heart-shaped biscuits!


A poster from Grandaunt Teresa and family.


These are some great words of wisdom from a dog!


Can you tell that I am really happy?


An awesome pic with my girlfriend, Bernie!


Aunty Sherrine came too!


She brought me a cute doggy figurine.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful presents! I missed you all already! Please visit again soon!

To the Doggy Pool again!

The weather last Saturday was perfect and we decided to go swimming at Sunny Dog again!


We went around lunch time and Dad and Mom had something to eat first.


We met a couple of Mountain Bernese dogs there. Here's one looking very smart in his life jacket.


I have gained more confidence now and did not need much encouragement to enter the pool.


It was also fun running up and down the sides of the pool.


I did lots of fetching with my favorite yellow ball.


I also swam together with a fellow golden.


Dad entered the pool with me too!


There was a whole lot of shaking going on.


The pool was getting really crowded in the afternoon and we decided to get a bath before everyone starts to queue for the shower rooms.


All dry and fluffy again! That was one great workout!

Happy weekend everyone!

A new pretty colleague and a new toothbrush!

Hi friends! May I introduce another pretty colleague!


This is Dr. Kiki! She is so fun to hang out with!

The temperature is soaring and it is starting to feel a lot like summer.


Afternoons are hot and make me really sleepy.


I have got a new toothbrush!


Poultry flavored toothpaste is yummy!


I love brushing my teeth, do you?

My First Trip to The Beach!

I finally made it to the beach! After seeing so many friends having so much fun at the beach, I had to bug Dad and Mom to bring me there.



We were near the north coast of Taipei and decided to make a quick trip to the beach before sunset. I had a quick romp on the sand and it was awesome! I love the feel of the sand!



There were many restaurants and bars on that stretch of beach. Mom says we should come earlier next time and check them out and maybe have a little swim too.

Here's a clip of my crazy zoomie on the sand. I hope you like it!

My New Dr. Dog Colleague

I am still going for my alternate Saturday service at the hospital and if you have been wondering why I have not been posting photos from my visit, that is because there is a new strict regulation now and we are not allowed to take photos at work in order to protect the privacy of the patients and their families. So I guess I will no longer be able to share photos of Dr. Dogs in action with you all.

Anyhow, I just want to introduce my new colleague to you, she is Dr. Claire.


She is a small built pretty golden girl and is very popular with our patients.

Here's a group photo of the three of us last Saturday.


Claire, Me and Howdy!

A Pleasant Surprise from Brazil!
