My right face and me!

2010-07-22T16:14:00.002+08:00

So ! It has been 2 long weeks !!!

The vets told me I have to be monitored for 2 weeks remember? So, yesterday we called the vets and told her that 2 weeks is up, so what's next ?

hmmmmmmmm ..... the vets said there is nothing much that she could do ...... *sigh*

But according to past cases seen by her, some dogs takes weeks to recovered, some dogs takes months to recover, and errrrrhhhhh .... some never did .... hmmmmm .... I wonder which category I belongs to...

Anyway, she suggested acupuncture .... I ask Girl Girl whats that, and she says thats like poking needles onto you .....

Now, if you guys remember, my last post, there is this "Evil Fingers" poking my face and eyes right ?

So now, besides this "Evil Fingers" there are also needles poking me ???? hmmmmmmm ..... whats all this poking about? Will I look like a Frankenstein with all those needles poking onto my face ? ..... hmmmmmmm

Anyway, we are going to see another vet this sunday, and possibly explore the options of acupuncture .... but Fat Fat is not that keen on acupuncture, but Girl Girl dont mind trying .... I think they are having a small little fight, I mean argument, I mean discussion .... on acupuncture on me.

Anyone of you have any ideas?

My Eyes and Me

2010-07-12T11:16:00.003+08:00

After 3 visits to vets, the conclusion is "We need to monitor."

And yes, the sentence ends there ....... all from the 3 vets ........... I am only short of hearing them say "I am sorry, but I dont know what happen?"

So what does this means ? This means I am equally confusion and clueless as you ..... But at least I still can see with both eyes.

Here's a video upload of me and my "not so willing to move right face".

Note the following, the left side of my face is still normal, my reflex tells me that I will blink when that evil fingers tries to touch my eyes ball...... wait, i will blink even before the evil fingers comes near me ....

But my right eyes dont blink !!! It will only blink when the evil fingers touched my eye lashes, and if the evil fingers dont "aim" for my eye lashes, it will touch my eye ball.

Next, looks at my sexy lips ....... my sexy lips of the left hand side does not drop down, the muscles are still there to keep it in place so that I can still maintain my handsome smile.

But look at my ummmmhhhhhhh ....... ... ... manly right lips, it is drooping !!!!!! can you see that ? And because of this, I cant control my sweet smelling saliva, which is always trying to escape from my mouth ..... ... and I tell you, now I hold the house record of forming the LONGEST and WETTEST drool at home ..... YEAH !!! Dont you think I deserve an award or something ?

Oh yes, now I am also good at mopping the floor with my saliva .... I help in the housework ! I am so proud of myself.

Oh yes, here's the video before I forget.

Update on me !! not so much .... really ....

2010-07-07T10:26:00.003+08:00

Thanks for all those kind response doggies and some long lost pal !!! I am really so touched by the power of bloggie land :)

I am visiting the vet this afternoon (this is the earliest time slot I could get) ..... Are Vets really so busy ?????? ........ anyway I will discuss all the possibilities with her ...... hmmmmmm .... ... maybe we can do it over coffee in her clinic ...

So far, I have received many information and from the symptons given to me, it appears that it may not be a stroke (which was the prelim diagnosis) ..... but it could be

1) facial paralysis
2) Bell's Palsy or idiopathic facial paralysis ........... hmmmm ..... I hope they are not saying I am an idiot :S

Thanks to all the furkids who offered me kind words of encouragements and information, I really appreciate that a lot.

I have a lot of reading to do and will update you guys as soon as I can ...... Thanks again ....

Stroke ? Now what ?

2010-07-06T11:30:00.003+08:00

hmmmmmm ..... I cant blink, I cant move my right side of my face ......

Suspected Stroke on my right side of the face?

What can I do now? What should I do now ?

I am otherwise active and eating, and jumping and playing .......

Singapore does not have a vet / specialist on this .....

Any idea knows what should I do now?

tell me !!! someone talk to me !!!

UPDATED : One reader was telling me that it may also be facial paralysis ..... anyone has any idea as to the treatment or what can be done to make me feel better? ......

We got no clue !!!

I am Back !!!

2009-09-07T16:48:00.002+08:00

Hey every dogs and pups !!!

How is everyone ?

Sorry for the lack of post for the past HALF YEAR oH mY dOG !! I didnt realise it had been tat long !!

I will leave it to Boo Boo to update you of what has been happening for the past months.

As for myself, I am showing signs of ageing, my muzzle is slowly growing white, I am starting to show signs of anxiety and depression. hmmmmmm ...... this is not a good sign .....

This is handsome and the much younger me, note the color of my muzzle, it is mainly golden with less white.

This is the STILL handsome but old me. Look at the color around my muzzle and eyes .... they are mostly white than golden now !!

Look !!! even my legs and bums are white now ......

But dont worry every doggies and pups! This is a natural progression which we all have to go through ..... This process is what I call a M.A.N.L.Y progression .... hehehehe

What Is this ?

2009-03-09T15:49:00.002+08:00

Ok ! Some thing very terrible had happen !!!!

Last week, when the human came to the office, they found something HUGE tied to the gate. And that thing is GOLDEN, FURRY AND HUGE like me, so from far, the human thought I had ran out of the office and Fat Fat was prepared to skin me alive then, until he walk nearer, and nearer, and nearer, then he realised that it is NOT ME !!!! ***GASP****

Fat Fat came closer and realised that someone had tied a golden retriever to our gate !!! ***GASP AGAIN****

After discussing with me, Fat Fat and clever me came up with a few ideas why this golden retriever is tied to our gate.

1) The person who found the dog thought that , that's me, so he tied the dog up at our gate.

But helllllooooooooooooo , I KNOW I am the only golden retreiver in this estate, I KNOW I am the smartest dog in this estate, I KNOW I am the most handsome dog in this estate, but that doesnt make me the ONLY dog in the estate.

Remember : Not all Golden Retreivers are Bond and not all Bonds are golden retreiver, ok ?

2) The person had tied the dog at our gate and went for the time of his life, and forgotten all about the dog.

Hellllooooooooooooooo, you better come and collect your dog .... **GROWL****

3) The person had abandoned the dog at our gate.

I .... I .... I .... I dont know what to say if this is really true *sigh*

But just to put the record straight, this is not a zoo, nor an animal shelter, nor a pet hotel, you dont go around dumping your pet at my place ok? So if you have really done that, you better come back and get your dog, or else, Fat Fat will cook the dog for dinner and serve all of us for the next week ok ?

Ok, some basic information of the dog

a) it smell like salted fish, even after 3 baths in a week
b) it loves to sit on urine (and this explains [1] above)

HELP ME !!! SOS !!! If you know of anyone who had left the dog in front of my gate, can you please ask the person to come forward with particulars of the dog like sex of the dog, age of the dog, any micorchip, any distinctive features of the dog blah blah blah ...... once we ascertain that you are the owner, we will return the dog to you ok?

Oh yes, another thing, if you are thinking of coming to my gate to see the doggy, sorry, the doggy had been moved to somewhere else and is no longer here ..... i will tell you why next time.

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOSE DOG IS THIS ??????????

Depression and a New buddy

2009-02-27T08:10:00.001+08:00

You guys remember about me being not-so-happy ? Well, the humans finally found out why, apparently, I was in a state of depression :( ........ I was depressed that Fat Fat left me alone for so longgggggggggggggggggggggggg ...... and I heard he went overseas ..... is he in the air then ? Why is he overseas ?

And that Girl Girl, who is supposed to bring me home everyday DIDNT !!!!! She always come up with the excuse that she has a "girl's night out" and cant bring me home, or that its too late, ...... *sigh*** ........ All these lazy excuses ...........

So, I was depressed and caused some destruction in the office .......

Well yes, depression actually happens to us dogs too, so dont be too surprised.

Oh, on another note, we have a new villager in our village :) ...... Presenting .......

***drums drums drums****
Yes, he is the new villager in our village :)

He is a 5 mths old husky and is still smaller than me in size ..... See how Happy I am with him ... Yippy Yippy !!!! Some new villager for me to bully !!! **opppppsss****

Oh Yes, more about this new villager, he actually has a very sad story.

His ex owner, Mr A, first saw me and he fell in love with me, so Mr A went to bought a puppy GR. After that, Mr A's girlfriend say one of my friend, a husky, and she in turn fall in love with that husky. So Mr A bought a puppy husky for his girlfriend.

Some months down the road, Mr A and his girlfriend broke up and TADA !!!! Mr A decides that he wants to throw the husky out of the house !!! And since I am one of his first 4-legged friends, he ask me if I would take the puppy husky in ...............

I was like "Hello, but you only had him for like less than 3 months ....... and now you dont want him???????" ...... and he say "YES !!! I WANT HIM OUT NOW!!!!"

I was ...... fine ........ I can share my food and toys and space with him, as long as he dont boss me around, or ELSE ..........................

So this is how the husky puppy ended up with me ................. I think humans are stupid .......... but I like him !!! and so does Boo Boo !!!!

Never lie to me !!!! OR ELSE .......

2009-02-12T20:17:00.003+08:00

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT HAPPY NOW !!

Why ? Cos Fat Fat lied to me !!!

You see, what happen was, last Saturday Fat Fat promised that he will bring me home on Tuesday and that I can stay at home for the next two weeks. Meaning, I do not have to work for the next two weeks in the office.

When Tuesday night came, I was so excited and happy when everybody was packing up that I keep running up and down the office, and I waited at the door, then Fat Fat told me, "I am not bringing you home...."

NO EXPLANATION, NO NOTHING, NO APOLOGIES ........... WHAT IS THIS ??????????

I WAS SO NOT HAPPY .........

And to get back to them .................. this is what I give them on Wednesday morning

ENJOY !!!! AND NEXT TIME DONT EVER LIE TO ME ........

WIND WIND WIND ......

2009-02-06T15:38:00.002+08:00

After every bath, Fat Fat will make me stay on top of a table, and I am only allowed to come down only after I am dried - FULLY !!

He say that if I move about when I am wet, I will dirty my legs, and my legs will be black and I will be dirty and if Fat Fat see a dirty Bond Bond immediately after my bath .... tsk tsk tsk tsk .......

So this is the obedient me on the table ........ waiting for my fur to dry dry
Wind wind faster come ............. I want to get down soon

Walking with Zen

2009-01-30T10:34:00.005+08:00

This is the first time that Girl Girl will be walking me with another dog, Zen.

But our first walk with Zen turns out to be fantastic! Zen initially will pull on the leash but after a few correction, she does not pull on the leash anymore! And when she is ask to sit, she sits immediately ! Thats so wonderful!

Instead of holding on to 2 leashes, Girl Girl tied Zen and my leash together to form a super long leash, about 3 meters long and what she will do is to hold on to the centre of the leash with one hand and if any of us are moving too fast, she will use the other hand to tug on our leash for our correction. She figured that since I am bigger and easier to control, Zen cant run far with me at the other side of the leash right ? ...... She is so clever, yes, there is no way that Zen can pull me away from Girl Girl, and I will walk just so close to her.

Yeah !!!! I enjoy my long walkie with Zen !!

Walking Rules

2009-01-29T10:39:00.005+08:00

Some of you may have already known that we have 2 new kids in our village for this Chinese New Year.

And since Boo Boo has briefed them on the house rules, I shall brief Zen on the walking rules.

Since this is a serious topic, I have to be very serious here.
Zen : What's walking rules ?

Bond : Walking rules are rules you have to obey during your daily walk .........

Bond : Rule number 1 : DO NOT ever tug or pull on the leash or entangle your leash onto the humans leg ......... if the human ever falls down, they will squash you into "zen zen juice". I cant imagine Fat Fat sitting onto you and squashing you into juices.

Rule number 2 : When the human say SIT and STAY, you have only 3 seconds to react to the command, or else, you will feel a very hard leash landing onto your head. The human dont use their hands to slap us, they use the leash to slap us during our walk, for your info .....

Zen : ****GASPPPP******

Bond : Rule number 3 : Do not EVER, NEVER roll yourself onto dog / cat poo during your walk ..... or else, they will skin you alive ....

Zen : HOLY COWWWWWWWWWWW

Bond : simple ? we only have 3 walking rules to remember ? Isnt life great ?

Zen : MUMMY .......... this is not the kind of holiday resort I am looking for !!! I WANT TO GO HOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bond : ...... ***EVIL GRIN***** .............. oh ! grow up and stop whinningggggggggg .......

Bond: Can someone just ask that kid to stop whinning and shut up ....................

What's with you lady?

2009-01-13T21:56:00.002+08:00

Girl Girl always bring me on a long long long long long long walk on weekends, sometimes, the walk can last an hour, sometimes 2, and sometimes the whole afternoon.

A couple of weekends ago, we went to our usual park. That's a huge park with a human play ground, a wishing well and a small enclosure where Girl Girl will let me run off leash.

I do a lot of things in the park, I check the trees and bushes for pee-mail, I see the children playing, I see people jogging, and I do my own business.

I was doing my own business, checking out mails like this
Ok, you have to search deep into the bushes, just in case any doggies left me any secret pee-mail.

Suddenly, a muslim lady shouted, yes she shouted at us. The exchange between that muslim lady and Girl Girl are as follows:-

Muslim Lady (ML) SHOUTING : Hey ! You can't let your dogs pee there! Don't you know that there are children playing there?

Girl Girl (GG) talking in a calm tone : Hey! Don't your children play in the play ground? I have never seen any children playing here (pointing to the bushes) before? And the laws says that I have to pick up my dogs poo, it does not states that dogs are not allowed to pee here. If they don't pee here, can you please tell me where he should pee? In the toilet or your house ?

ML SCREAMING AND SHOUTING : I will call the police and authority and report you!

GG smiling : Please go ahead. By the way, do you have a mobile phone with you now? Do you want to take a photo of me and my dog? It's good that you have a photo of us in case the authority ask.

ML SCREECHING : ~!@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&&^^$$!~ (vulgarities)

GG : Yeah Yeah Yeah ..... I will be waiting for you.

ML proceeded to walk to the bus stop besides the park. GG and me walked behind her, following her to the bus stop.

ML SHOUTING : Why are you following me? ~!@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@!~

GG : Hello, Dear, this is a park, I am walking my dog, why cant I walk here? Do I have to pay road tax or something ?

ML continues to walk to the bus stop. GG and me walked up to the bus stop and just hang around there.

ML kept staring at us.

When ML finally boarded the bus, GG smiled and waved goodbye to her ........ I guess this just simply pissed that ML off even more ..... hhahahahhahahahahahahahhaha

Well, you see, I was checking for my pee-mail here.
See the small tiny tree on the right of the photo? I was there checking the pee-mail. And that is at least 4 metre away from the walk path. Now tell me, which child will play in the bushes there when the play ground is about 50metres away? And the playground comes with slides, swings, see-saw, and everything ! Which child will play in the bushes with me there ?

GG just dont understand why the ML have to start shouting and screaming at us? Can't she tell us nicely? And further more, we had not done anything which are against the law or which is wrong. .............

What a day ....... but I still enjoyed myself. :) making the ML pissed, that is :P

Merry Xmas to ALL !!

See you around Patches

2008-11-21T14:58:00.002+08:00

Sometimes this week, while I was busy working in the office, the lady with the sexy, beautiful and slender legs walked into the office again.

For a moment, I thought she is here to dump another bag and ANOTHER dog.

But she looked different today, she smelt of salt and look more sexy than before

She spoke a few words with Fat Fat and then left the office with these !!!

Oh My Dog !!! She left with the bag and the dog !!!!!!!

Me : Hey Lady !!! I thought you say the dog is MINE ? for me to KEEP ? where are you going with her ?

Lady : Yes, she is yours to keep for the past few days. Not anymore from today ....

Me : you mean ..... no more ? ..... no more ???? ....... you ... you .... you .... you .... but I like her ...................................

Our initial encounter with Patches

2008-11-18T14:50:00.003+08:00

The other day when Girl Girl brought Patches home from office, she was slowly introduced to Boo Boo, Boy Boy and Gal Gal the CKCS one by one.

For those who are not familiar, this is Boy Boy and Gal Gal the CKCS.

Everything went on smoothly until Gal Gal the CKCS came. Some of you may know that Cavaliar King Charles Spaniel are hunting dogs. And when that silly Gal CKCS saw Patches, who is only like one third of Gal's the CKCS size, she immediately thought that it is a toy or prey or mop or whatever, I have no idea whats in her mind. ..... But the moment she saw her, she just pounces on her, aiming for Patches neck ...... but before she could do any damage, Girl Girl put a stop to it and Gal the CKCS was given a trashing, left right, front back, centre, up down ..... everywhere ..... .... and she was told to behave if she still wants to see tomorrow .....

But I can't blame her, its her instinct, the hunter instinct in her made her like this.

Anyway, Patches was unhurt, and she is fine.

And Gal the CKCS was 'educated' on how to behave and play with Patches and they are playing with each other fine now.

This is a picture taken of them within 20 minutes of the about to happen "attack". Dont you think they look sweet ? Like ..... errrr .... .mother and daughter ? :P

Oh yes, I forgot to mentioned, ever since she came, Girl Girl the human mentioned something that she has a furry shadow ..... shadow = furry ??????? is Girl Girl growing fur now ? just like us ???????????? yipiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Run Away Kid - Guess who ?

2008-11-17T10:38:00.003+08:00

Last saturday, while I was in the office, I saw this pair of slender, beautiful, sexy legs walking into the office with a bag and a tiny dog.

The dog is soooooooooooooooooooo tiny, that I bet my ONE paw is heavier than its whole body.

Anyway, the lady with the slender, beautiful, sexy legs told me that this small little dog is running away from home and she has packed a luggage full of things with her. Look at this, the bag is even BIGGER than her !!!!!! And why is she running away from this pair of slender, beautiful, sexy legs ?

Let me go figure out this little doggie ..... is this her bum or head ?

Later, to my horror, the lady with the sexy, slender, beautiful legs left without the dog !!!!

Me : Hey Lady !!!! You forgot the bag !! and HER !!!!!!!!!!!

Sexy Lady : She is now YOURS !!!!! To keep !!!!

Me : Mine ?????????????? To Keep ???????????????? Who ??????? me ?????

But but but but but .... .but she is so small, i can easily squash her by just landing my paw on her, not to mentioned sit on her.

Wait a minute !!!!!!! How about giving her to my brother Boo Boo, Hiak Hiak Hiak Hiak .........

I shall do that !!!! My dear Boo Boo ..... get ready, I got a girlfriend for you .....

My Adventure with the minister

2008-11-13T13:31:00.003+08:00

Oh man !!! It has been 2 months since I last blog !!!!!

I am getting lazier, and lazier and lazier and lazier and ................. OK ENOUGH!!!

Anyway, I had a 2 hour walk around our estate with Gal Gal last week, and we walked and walked and walked and walked and walked until I thought we were never going to stop. And somehow, we ended up in Sembawang where those people are getting ready for a walkathon, there was some very loud music there and a lot of people. And those people are very excited about the event.

Well, I was very tired after walking for 2 hours and bearing in mind that we need to walk back home, Gal Gal went to get some water for me and herself. So she conveniently found a pillar and tied me to the pillar and off she went in search for water.

The moment Gal Gal came back, she was shocked that there were about 10 people, including one policeman surrounding me ...... some were asking "whose dog is this?", "This dog is huge", "this dog is so docile" ..... ..... .... .... and among these people was Singapore's Minister for Law and Second Minster for Home Affairs, Mr K Shanmugam, who was there to officiate the walkathon.

Well and as for me, I just sat there enjoying all the attention. Well, how could anyone not have their attention on such a handsome boy like me right?

Anyway, Gal Gal came back to me and let me have my LONG DESERVED water ........ man !!!! I have never been that thirsty before. Anyway, that was my brief encounter with our Minister. Oh yes, I think he likes me.

My notty spot

2008-09-23T11:37:00.002+08:00

What do your pawrents do when you doggies or hammies does something bad ?

Well, my fat fat will place me on my "naughty spot" and I am supposed to reflect on my wrong doings ......

This is my naught spot ...... see my remorseful face ? I am really sorry, can I come down now ? like N.O.W ??

What do you do on a humid raining day ?

2008-09-08T21:45:00.003+08:00

What do you normally do on a raining day ?

Well, for me, raining day normally spells trouble, cos rain = no walk , no walk = moody me, moody me = not HAPPY ME ...... so i HATE RAIN ....

On raining days, I like to "park" myself at the garage with a bowl of beer, praying and hoping for the rain to go away. But Gal Gal dont like me to "park" myself on the wet floor, she say I will dirty my beautiful coat ..... oh ...... what kind of theory is that, I dont know

Well, since she donts like me to be on the wet floor, how bout the sheltered part of the garage, can I park there ? Oh yes ! See my grumpy face and you will know what I am trying to say ...
