Alaska, The New Monster In Our House

Who Broke The Vinegar Bottle? Not Me!

Jellicle was the first suspect of the accident

Goodness and Danny were outside on the front porch. So they were not on my list of suspects. After about 20 minutes, Daddy made his way down to the kitchen with all the delicious bones and leftovers. I knew I was in for a treat but this time, I did not approach him. I anticipated his scream and it came... really loud.

"Who broke the bottle of vinegar? WHO?"

Daddy looked at me. I was lying far from the accident, as close to the front door as I could. My heart was beating fast even though my fat body was very still. Would he blame me? 

Daddy paused and sized up the situation. He remembered that the black vinegar bottle was on the lower shelf and the cats loved to snugger inside the lower shelf.

He finally said, "Stupid cats!" 

Smart Daddy!

Ha! He blamed the cats and that meant I was in the 'okay' zone. I stood up and wagged my tail in full agreement with his expert detective work. As I walked towards the kitchen door... slam!

Daddy slammed the door in my face... almost flattening my nose. What was he doing? So I stood on my hind legs and peeped into the kitchen through the glass-part of the door. 

A major cleaning project was in operation. Daddy was holding a plastic bag and filling it with all the broken glasses. To pick up the small glass fragments, he used a piece of bread. Then he used toilet papers to clean the vinegar tile by tile. He grabbed the mop to finalize the cleaning project.With a few quick strokes, the floor was as clean as before.

By the time, he walked out of the kitchen, he was soaking with perspiration. He was not much of a cleaner but I think he did a great job. I inspected the kitchen floor and not a drop of vinegar. Even the smell of the vinegar had been masked by the citronella or lemon grass natural cleaning agent.

Jellicle walked by and I told him off for causing the mess. Tabby Boy walked by and I told him off too... for not warning Jellicle. They ignored me... do you know why? 

I will tell you why... because cats are deaf. They are as deaf as ... eh... eh ... dead cats!

Bow wow wow!

Ouch! Insects Attack!

The swelling on the lip has gone down

Could you believe it? While I was playing with my sister, Goodness and new brother, Danny Boy, a swarm of insects attacked me. Never saw them coming but they were ferocious monsters.. I snapped at the leading insect and it went down... but its wing man bit me on the mouth. Wow, what a painful kiss. The pain was excruciating and I was screaming for someone to help me. Then like the Zero fighters that I watched on History Channel with daddy, the rest of the swarm attacked my stout body. Ouch, ouch, ouch! The stings were painful painful and painful. 

The swollen bite marks are quite evidenced

Daddy asked me to follow him to the kitchen. As usual, Daddy could not find the ACV (Mommy always says that Daddy is a blur sotong) and so he opened a new bottle of White Vinegar from kitchen and cleaned my lip with that. After that, he put an ice cube on the affected area. Wow, that was really nice. The side of my body has lumps from the bites.

One Happy Family

Nobody Wants Danny!

Written by my own paws - Mercy

Danny the orphan is happily playing with us. He likes to bite our legs and tails. Goodness used to be afraid of his rough play but now she has learned how to retaliate. Danny who is smaller in size will try to get under her belly and then bite the hind legs. However, my dear sister has devised a new defense strategy - she lowers her head and butt Danny. That keeps him away from her belly.
The other day, I overheard Mommy telling Daddy that even the family that was interested in Danny could not adopt him. It seems like nobody wants Danny. Until someone offers Danny a home, our house will be his home. We will be his sisters and our parents will be his parents.
If anyone reading this Dog Blog has room in his or her heart and home for a lovely and lively pet dog, please contact Daddy Albert through this blog. Thanks a million!
Bow wow wow!

It's A Really Hot Day!

Written by my own paws!

 Written by my own paws - Mercy

The weather is getting crazy. At this time of the year, the heat is unbearable. Serving as the bodyguards at the Kang's residence is not an easy job. All of us have been drinking lots of water but the heat is still unbearable.

However, being the Chief Bodyguard, I have a lot of work to do. First, I have to find a place to think. The other two junior bodyguards are so hopeless, they are snoozing under the car and in the shade. Goodness only knows how to lie down and check her eyelids. Danny, the new recruit, is equally lazy. He just plays with the bone or rolls among the rags. 

Yours truly needs a cool place to rest and also to guard our residence. With a stroke of brilliance, I tug my slim body into the dry drain. The coolness that emits from this drain is unbelievable. The gradual chill is really good for the brain too. Now, I can think clearly and also enter into my dreamland without heat. Moreover from that position, I am able to watch the house and also the other lazy canines.

Danny Is Still Looking For A Home

It has been almost two months now and we are still looking for a loving owner for Danny. You will remember that Danny was discovered on a rainy day at the Industrial Road in Sungai Buloh. He was apparently hit by a vehicle and both his hind legs were broken. My wife, Grace, rescued him and we brought him to Dr. Pam to be treated. Praise God that his broken legs recovered but he has a slight limp on his left leg.


Danny looked like a mix between a Doberman and an ordinary dog. He has a beautiful coat of short black fur and he is quite a handsome fella. We have adsorbed all the medical costs and all Danny needs now, is a good home.


If you are able to share your home with a highly intelligent dog, please contact me through this blog.

A Happy Crippled Dog

Written by Albert
 
My wife, Grace, found Danny the Puppy on the Industrial Road on the wet evening of 7th June 2010. The rain was pouring and the black puppy was in the middle of the road, panting but not moving. Grace immediately called me and together we decided to rescue this poor puppy. We rushed him to Grace's sister, Dr. Pam, who is our personal vet. After she had inspected Danny, we learned that the poor puppy had broken both legs. A vehicle must have hit him.


Danny was operated upon and metal pins were placed into both legs. However, after a month later, the legs had healed but the pins did not hold well and Danny had become a crippled dog.Today, he walks with a slight limp. 

Danny looked like a mix between a Dobernan and another breed. He is a very gentle and quiet dog. In spite of his condition, he is full of life and joy. The tail wags so rapidly that we are afraid that it might just fall off. What a lovely dog. He will make a good companion for growing children.

Dr. Pam and her boss are very kind and only charge us a fraction of the surgery costs. We are now looking for a good home for Danny. We already own two dogs and two cats. If not, we like to keep him. So, if anyone who desire to own a wonderful loving puppy, please write to me. My email is albertkang7000@gmail.com

Tabby Boy - Our Hero

Written by my own paws - Mercy

Hello, I have not been active on my blog for a while. I must blame Daddy for being too busy to allow me to use his laptop. He had many writing projects to do. By the way, his old laptop also died - after seven years of continual service. So, now I am learning some of the new functions and features of his new laptop.

You will remember the two monsters who came to live with us. Yes, Jellicle the old cat and Tabby Boy the fat cat! Daddy and Mommy insisted that we accept them as our "brothers"! This is absolutely atrocious for us canine ladies to accept this type of "unrelated" relationship. My dear sister, Goodness, and I kept our reservation until recently.

We witnessed a most fascinating event - our fat cat 'brother' defending our home. It all happened with the sudden appearance of a wild-looking, big-headed monster of a cat. This Monster was ugliness- personified. He had been stealing food and my sister and I had chased it out of our kitchen a couple of time. However, a few days ago, as the sun was about to set, Tabby Boy had the privilege of encountering this intruder in the backyard.

We were in the kitchen and witnessed the whole occurrence through the kitchen window, We thought that our feline brother was a coward and may choose to run away. How surprised we were when Tabby Boy faced the much bigger cat and began to howl. The howl did not sound like something fearful but more like a human baby crying or learning how to talk.

As the intruding monster cat was much larger than Tabby Boy, he choose to stand his ground. His growl sounded similar to that of Tabby's. We could not understand a word as cat language is still foreign to us dogs.However from the racket, we figured, Tabby Boy was telling the Monster to get lost.

The argument went on for a few minutes, then suddenly Tabby Boy sprung into action. With his well-aimed front paw, he gave an uppercut. The Monster was stunned but managed to escape the punch of fury within a hair's breath. Then the retaliation came as a double-paw plunge. Monster was very fast but bravo to Tabby Boy. He jumped and did a magnificent spin and landed on all four, facing the intruder eyeball-to-eyeball. It was as though Tabby Boy was telling the Monster, "You missed!" From our angle, Tabby's fat body and quick action reminded us of the Hong Kong kung-fu actor, Samuel Hung. (You did not know that we dogs watch TV?)

All of a sudden, there was a confusion of bodies, paws, fur and ferocious screams. In the tumult, we could not figure which was which. Then the scene was frozen with the two kung-fu masters staring each other down. The baby-like howling had become more intensified as they continued to size each other and evaluated their own options.

Daddy rushed from his study and came on the scene with a mug of water. Splash! The water hit the Monster straight on and he jumped to the gap at the edge of the fence. Tabby was also in a shock and did not give chase. The Monster turned and glared at Daddy. By then, Daddy had the second cup of water ready. Before he could splash again, the Monster was gone.


Tabby Boy jumped onto the kitchen window ledge and walked into the house triumphantly. He then took a long self-congratulatory drink from our bowl of water.

Wow, what a cat! Even though, it was Daddy who chased away the intruder, it was Tabby Boy who bravely defended our home. Goodness and I tried to congratulate him by shaking his paw but he rejected. He gave us a kiss instead. Meow!
