Goofing Around at Home

Woof!

It's been ages since I last blogged. Believe it or not, I'm still in temporary accommodation and waiting to move in to a new home in Singapore. Anyway, that hasn't stopped me from keeping myself busy. Here's a few pictures of my daily routine. 

As you know, one of my favourite pastimes is to stare out of the window and watch the world go by.

Hey, what's that down there? Has this place got a swimming pool?

It sure has, and I soon went down to check it out!

Before long, I was lounging in the sun with my beach ball and my floppy hat!

I think it suddenly got cloudy. I can't see a thing!

It must be night. Time for a snooze.

Which reminds me, besides lounging by the pool, I also spend a lot of time in one of my other favourite pastimes... 

... Sleeping! Ahhhhhhhh, in Singapore's heat and humidity, there's nothing I like better than to switch on the air-con and cool my nuts!

Of course, for most of the day, I'm just whiling away the hours until Dad comes home from work. 

Sometimes I watch TV...

... at other times I lie by the gate waiting for his car to arrive.

Eventually, he arrives home and we get a chance to partake in yet another of my favourite pastimes...

... the 'tickle-my-belly-rub!'

"AHHHHHhhhhhhhhh..." I love it!

We always end the day with a quick 'snuggle-up'!


That's it from me for now. Catch up with you all again later!

A Doggie Tea Party

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a special Doggie Tea Party. Yay!!!

The event was held at a very swanky hotel. Here's the welcome sign.

The turnout was great! There were dogs of all different varieties - big dogs, small dogs, fat dogs, skinny dogs, old dogs, young dogs, crazy dogs, lazy dogs and even hot dogs!

That's me sniffing around for FOOD...

...and checking out the babes!

Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get this lady's attention.

Nevertheless, I did make tons of friends during the afternoon!

For instance, I got to know these friendly Labradors, Rae and Audie (sorry if I've spelt their names wrong).

I also got on well with these two Jack Russells, Joey and Jack.

But there was one special guy who I was dying to meet.

This is me with Helios . It was Helios who first inspired me to start blogging. Well, actually, it was Helios' older brother, Herbie, who was my initial inspiration. Unfortunately, Herbie passed away a few years ago, but his protégé Helios has now taken-up the blogging reins.

As well as making lots of four-legged friends, there were some (not so) serious competitions to take part in at the pawty. First there was the 'best teeth' contest... 

I thought I couldn't lose with these 'pearly whites'...

...but this guy, Pinot, obviously uses better toothpaste than me!

Next though was the competition which I'd been training for my whole life. Can you guess what it was? 

Believe it or not, this was for the contest for the 'biggest dog at the pawty'!

And the winner was...

Aroooo! Yours Truly was the Champion!!!

Before we all left, the organisers held a lucky draw. Guess who won the star prize...

Arooooo, me again! The prize was this huge cake.

I was all ready to scoff the lot. Unfortunately, Missus agreed to have the cake cut into pieces and shared with all the other doggies at the pawty. Bah!

Anyway, I had a fantastic day. My thanks go to the Singapore ASD (the Action for Singapore Dogs Society - a local doggie shelter) which organised the festivities. I can't wait for the next one!

I'm SIX!

Today is my BARKDAY! I am six years old! And still a hot looking stud! Arooo... roo... roo...

For my barkday, I got lots of treats and toys!

Can you guess which one is my favourite?

I picked the LION!

If you think I am scared of lions, you're WRONG!

I wrestle lions for fun!

Besides getting treats and toys, I got...

'FLOATY' BALLOONS!

The best part of all - I got a special barkday cake!

Man, it looked yummy!

Before I could have my cake and eat it, I had to pose for the camera.

I sat anxiously waiting to blow out the candle.

"Gimmee...gimmee...GIMMEEE!" Arghhhhhh....

Finally it was time to tuck in! Hooray!

Slurp...slobber...munch...!

"How did that cream land on my nose?"

Finally, I wolfed down the last bit...

...and licked the remains from my lips. I'm such a messy eater.

All in all I had a wonderful day. Happy Barkday to me... Happy Barkday to me... Arooo...roooooo.

My Singapore Surroundings

The last couple of weeks have been very hectic for us, so forgive me if I have not blogged for a while. You see, we have moved out of the serviced apartment which we were staying in. Our new (temporary) home is right across from the serviced apartment, so the surroundings are pretty much the same... 

See how close my 'old' place and my 'new' place are!

Me and Dad on one of our regular walks.

"Missus, will you hurry up? We want to find some shade!"

Missus made me pose for an obligatory photo shoot...

...and another.

Occasionally during my walks, I stop by the river to look at my reflection and check out how booti-ful I am.

Of course, my narcissistic thoughts are often rudely interrupted by my humans.

Anyway, me and Dad were checking out some gorgeous looking babes.

Like this cutie. I couldn't help but try to get close to her! Unfortunately, I didn't get her name.

Before long, we were off walking again, hoping to meet up with some more nice doggies. Pretty soon, I bumped into one...

This Labrador invited me for a couple of pints. Alas, Dad didn't bring any money with him and I'm broke! Oh well, next time.

Before I knew it, we were heading home. Despite Singapore's heat and humidity, I really enjoy my walks.

Anyway, bye for now. I wish everyone a great weekend!


P.S.: It has just dawned on me that it will be my barkday at the end of June. I'm going to be six years old! Woof! Woof!  Let the celebration begins!
