CANNOT just RUN OUT ~

One of the proudest achievement we have with TOto; 
TOto wouldn't just RUN Out once the main door is open!
He would definitely wait for BOTH of us to come out.
He wouldn't bulged, and only follow one of us, if he knows that BOTH of us will be going out with him. so if Daddeee has walked down and mammeee is still in the house, TOto will wait right outside the door.
TOto will loiter around the corridor until we give the OK command.
Then he will trotter down ...
And wait one level down for us ...
We used to hide away and he will have to come running up, so he will always look back for us.
Another level down, he will wait for the next command to continue.


Once Daddeee says 'STOP', he will usually sit and wait for us to give the next command.

Sometimes we will let him roam awhile, but sometimes we will hook him up.
TOto is already used to our unpredictability, so it doesn't matter to him whether he is unleashed or hooked up!

Maybe to some people this is 'NO BIG DEAL' but to me this IS A FREAKING BIG DEAL because I know of dogs whom just RAN out of the house and get knocked down OR dogs sneaking out and lost their way! SO when we had TOto, I told Daddeee this is something that is VERY IMPORTANT to me. We have to train TOto not to RUN out of the door at any chance he has!
After that TOto gets to enjoy a leisurely morning walk with Mammeee and Daddeee ~


TOto loves it when the both of us walks with him ...

This is Y ...

... daddeee needs to GO WORK!

These are the main kibbles TOto is feeding on now : 
  • Acana Duck & Bartlett Pear Limited Ingredient Formula Dry Dog Food
  • Orijen 6-Fish Grain-Free Dry Dog Food
  • Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Raw Duck Dinner

And to keep them as FRESH as possible, we usually get the smaller packets.

TOto and breakfast!

This is TOto sitting beautifully waiting for his breakfast.

We never guess why he did that, he would sit a distance away in a very comfortable position looking intensely at me preparing his breakfast. The nearer he sat to the kitchen counter, the hungrier he is BUT he will never sit right at my feet. WE guess, the further away, the more he can see what I am doing on the kitchen counter.
His usual breakfast; 1/4cup of kibbles, a dash of Stella and chewy dried patty, a few scoop of Cottage cheese, his garlic pills and fish oil pills.
If I forget his Cottage Cheese, he will come forward to sniff and goes back to his original position to wait until I remember to top his 'precious' cottage cheese.
See how INTENSE he is, never turning away ...

Yeah he is very hungry today!
He came straight to the bowl without me 'inviting' him ...

After any meal, he would request for dessert ...
And this is TOto's new dessert!
This is how TOto request for his dessert with his pleading EYE's power!
And he knows he has to eat his biscuit on "mat mat".
But he very naughty, he is playing Cat and mouse with his treat!
He will play acting with the treat, tossing and running around with his it' for a few minutes.
He has to MAKE SURE his biscuit/treat is TOTALLY DEAD, before he gobble it down and ask for second, third and forth until mammeee shout, 'NO MORE'!

daddeee go work work?

It is VERY important that daddeee inform TOto that he is going to work! 
If NOT, TOto goes into a panic mode thinking that daddeee has gone missing ...

(Look at the slouch on TOto's shoulder? It just meant that TOto is not very happy about the whole morning situation!)

Sometimes TOto is okok about daddeee going to work and he will give a very enthusiastic, quick kisses with a bite. Sometimes it will be a SHORT and QUICK one! Sometimes a lame-soft-stuck-out-one-lick kinda of kiss. Sometimes it will be a slobbery wet one. Sometimes, when he is really unhappy about daddeee leaving, he will REFUSE to give any kisses!


Daddeee will have to spend a few minutes promising coaxing TOto with sweet nothings about a longer evening walks or dog park trip or 'play ballball' when he comes home from work! Ultimately daddeee will inform TOto if he doesn't go to work, mammeee and TOto will die of hunger, hahaha!


If TOto is satisfied with all the promises and reasoning, TOto will eventually gives a very unwilling kiss ...


No matter what, TOto will always wait patiently for daddeee to come home.
(mammeee didn't made up the above story!)

TOto's sleeping POSE!

TOto just couldn't sleep peacefully at one place in one position!
But when I see him cross-legged, I am so amused ...
TOto is so relaxed. 
It looks like, he is inside his dreamland sitting in a Dog-cafe having latte and reading his kindle!
Then he has this YOGA stretched which daddeee says mammeee sleeps this way with a ODD stretched too like we are doing YOGA in our dream!


It is so relaxing to watch TOto sleep!

Throw thrash?

Daddeee is trying to test out TOto's limit!
He gave the command, and just left with the thrash.

I find it so amusing with TOto's head stuck out front and his butt sticking behind!
I think it will be even more amusing to see his head out front.
And the "Sherlock Holmes's shadow" I cast is so funny, hahaha!

But we are glad TOto passes the test, but I doubt TOto will stay IF there is a stranger or rabbit spotted outside!

My Furry, "WHINEY" Alarm Clock!

This is how TOto wakes me up in the morning! 

But he is not very accurate, still usually he will wake me up between 7.00am-7.45am right before my own alarm. BUT sometimes if he is too tired, I will wake up before him; so he gets to sleep in with daddeee! He can be very persistent, and the whining gets louder and louder. 

Sometimes he just wants me to scratched him, and he goes right back to sleep. Sometimes, just like this video, he just wants to make sure I wake up to cook for daddeee.

 

So you know who he loves MORE!
TOto wants to chase mammeee out so that he can get some alone time with daddeee ~

Just a rainy morning ...

This looks like TOto's train of thought when we help him wear his raincoat and inform him that it is raining today!

When I tell him, it's raining; he really turn and look at the door!

Then he turn back and look down, like he is thinking ...
And looks at me with his sulky face!
We can only wonder ...

Independence Day 2012

This is mammeee's 4th year in USA but then first time celebrating 4th of July with TOto.
And mammeee loves the fireworks!
Will love to go for more firework's event but daddeee is busy with work!
So mammeee should be happy at least we went for ONE firework's display, and I think TOto is very relief for that ...
TOto is a ABD!
American Born DOG ...
