Copycat

There's something about Balu I've noticed. He loves to follow me around and 'copy' my actions. He's like my little shadow. I'm not sure why he does this. Is it because I smell nice? Am I cool? Does he like my swagger? Or maybe it's just because Balu is still a puppy and I'm an adult now. We all need someone to look up to and perhaps Balu sees me as his 'grown-up' role model. Anyway, if you don't believe me, I've attached some photos of Balu's 'copycat actions' below.

I get on the sofa... Balu gets on the sofa (don't tell his humans, in case he gets into trouble!).

I find something interesting to look at... guess who joins me?

I spot another dog... but I can't keep it a secret with Balu around.

Even when I jump on my favourite viewing spot... Balu has to squeeze in as well.

Bang! Bang! You're Dead!

I've just learnt a new trick. Whenever Missus says "Bang!", I'm supposed to fall over and 'play dead'. Unfortunately, my stupid tail won't stop wagging. Anyway, Missus is patient and waits for it to stop. I then get my treat! Muah ha ha ha... Here's a video of my great acting performance.

Balu's place

I spoke to Balu on the phone this morning and he asked me to come over to his place to 'chill'. Of course I agreed without any hesitation!

We were so happy and excited when we met! I made a mad dash towards Balu and ran into the balcony glass door instead. Still, that didn't deter me from saying hello to him. Then, it all went crazy, we were chasing each other and galloping around the apartment. Balu wouldn't let me out of his sight. Anyway, I've attached some photos and a video clip of the rare moments when we were resting.

We were tired but happy!

Our goofy smiles.

I look scruffy. The fur on my ears were wet with Balu's saliva!

I am exhausted and I want to go home (but I am very happy).

My afternoon with Balu

This afternoon, I got to spend some time playing with Balu at my place.

This is me and Balu. He thinks he looks better in the photos with his eyes shut??? Tsk! Puppies nowadays, they really don't know how to pose.

Me trying to catch my breathe. As usual, Balu is off with the ball, hoping that I'll come after him.

This photo is firm evidence of Balu trying to get on the sofa... I hope his parents see it! Ha ha...

For your information, Balu had this ball in his mouth for at least thirty minutes!

For once, I got a moment to rest while that 'monkey' amused himself with something else.

I am too tired to play...

These photos (above and below) were not easy for Missus to take. We had to be cajoled with treats in order for her to get us to sit still.

I must say, we've done pretty well!

Roy

While taking a walk in the park today, I bumped into another canine friend of mine, Roy. Here's a short video of us having fun!

Balu

I have recently got to know a jovial 9 months old Labrador Retriever called Balu. He also lives in Coastal Rose Garden, but in a different block from me. Last night we met up, had a quick run in the park and then went back to my place to have a play around.

This is Balu, my new buddy...

...who loves to play with my yellow smiley toy. It's his favourite!


Here's a video of Balu and I playing together in my house.

A badly taken photo of me and Balu.

Hong Kong Dog Show 2007

These pictures were taken at the Hong Kong Dog Show 2007 and, as usual, Missus went there without me. If you have read my previous postings, you will know that Missus NEVER takes me to dog shows. Still, here are the pictures she took while there.

This is Lucci, a Weimaraner. Lucci and I met briefly in Singapore at Bukit Timah Turf Club (this was before I went to Korea). Lucci is 3 years old and now weighs 49KG and that's a lot! Still, he looks good, healthy and happy as you can tell by the big smile on his face!

Misuss with a Golden Retriever. How dare he steal my cuddles!

... and a Boxer.

Saint Bernard.

Tibettan Mastiffs. The one in the middle has very unusual colouring.

A Bernese Mountain Dog.

And a lion...

It's actually a Chow Chow. Hee! Hee!

A Doberman waiting for his turn in the ring.

A well poised Boxer.

Boxers in the 'boxing' ring.

Missus with another Golden Retriever. His name happens to be 'Bill' - the same as Dad's.

A very affectionate Rottweiler.

Two Golden Retrievers (and a Husky hiding at the back).

Siberian Husky.

An aged Golden Retriever. You can tell if a Golden is old just by checking it's muzzel - it's always white.

Waiting for the next command from their owners.

A black Labrador.

This Labrador is trying to make a 'monkey face'.

German Shepherd.

Malinois

Well, that's it folks. I hope I haven't bored you too much with my picture show. Ta ta!
