Full Video of Toto daily Wipe OUT!

Initially when we just got him, we were worried that we cannot give him his bath daily and yet we want a clean and healthy dog to LIVE together with so that he can sit on the sofa, snuggle on the floor, sleep on the bed together with us. (NOPE HE DOESN'T SLEEP with us but when we just rested on the bed, he usually 'TRY' to snuggle there with us.) AND I ABSOLUTELY cannot accept, grass, soil, dirt and shit!

PLUS Westie are famous of their skin allergy, so the DOG GENE itself cannot accept daily washes which would DRYOUT their already DRY skin!

So we decided very early on in our life with TOto we would WIPE him clean EVERYTIME he goes out. So if he goes out twice a day, he recieved 2wipes. And we would verbally tell him to accept it because he wants to go out for his walk! And slowly over time, he has gotten use to all the fuss after we got back from his walk.

And NOW he knows to stop and wait at the door for us to prepare him for his wipe, and he will walk to the kitchen. No matter how hungry or thirsty, he KNOW he has to wait for the wipe before he can eat or drink!!

And sometime he will forget and head for the water, and suddenly he HIMSELF would pull the brake and walk right into the kitchen sit and wait out!

So ANYONE who tell me my DOG is DIRTY!

Will GET 2 TIGHT SLAP from me! (YQ say some stupid pple might get offended so I cannot say it that way even thou pple who understand me noes i am just kidding, but there are still alot of stupid pple out there!) Because TOto is cleaner than ALOT of kiddos om the playground playing in the SAND!

For 1ONE, DOGS doesn't SWEAT, so their skin doesn't get sweaty, dirty like HUMAN. So when they smell it is the HAIR and HAIR only. And Westie has a 'HARD' COAT, so dirt SLIDES off!

And like HUMAN head, if the weather is BAD and warm, the head will have a SMELL too. SO that is the famous DOGGY smell, but when the weather is cooling, they will have a dog smell, just like HUMAN who have our HUMAN smell!

When you say my DOG is SMELLY, smell YOURSELF!
Disclaimer: I am talking about TOto and TOto only!

And we believe that is ONE of the reason why TOto don't have discoloured EYE and FEET, which alot of dogs have!

AKC certified and Post Op pictures ...

Toto is AKC certified as a pure breed.

This certification is really NO POINT, hahaha. Damn Boliao, but just incase YQ wants to bring TOto for some kinda of compeition!?

Haha, I DOUBT!

Oh and some Before and After pictures of the Wound and Stitches!

Kinda of 'RA' here, so READ ON if you want!

Update on Toto's stitches

Updated a video @ Lewisville Railroad Dog Park on a Sunday!.

Toto's stitches is healing very well! It was so much easier than I thought it would be! We OVER READ ourselves online, and there is TOO MUCH HORROR stories!! Hahaha, it was easy peasy!

I guess there isn't any difficult part about the whole ordeal. The first and second day, Toto is very drowsy but on the 2nd day he got better and can feed by himself in the evening. He didn't eat on the first day of Operation, he didn't even drink. But we kept wetting his mouth with water. By the fourth day, his wound is already caking very nicely and the swelling has gone off. And on the 5th day we brought him down for his evening walk. On Sunday, 7th day, we already wanted to bring him in to remove the stitches haha ~

Actually by the 3rd day he is already back to SQUARE one being himself. There were some slight licking of his wound but he is not overly OBSESSED with the stitches that is there. He is still very paranoid about that area for the first few days but I guess even if the 'external' wound is recovering, maybe it will still feel BRUISED!

OK, so if anyone is reading about neutering experience, it is not as HORRIBLE as it seems to be! And seriously, TOto only worn the Donut for the first 2 days and ONLY at times when I cannot supervised him; like when I am cooking. And I thought he has to wear it 24-7 for 10 days!! Hahaha ...

Maybe we are just lucky ...
But we are glad!

Toto on his Saturday Evening walk after his Neutering Operation!

Toto and his stitches

He is performing better than we expected.

He is not affected by his wound and stitches much but maybe it is not the 'time' yet. But his wound is healing nicely and drying out already! Usually it is when it start to dry up that is when the itching starts? Hahaha, if not we can return the donut! That piece of JUNK is about USD30plus! WTF, my travel pillow is NOT THAT expensive lor! Really killer, just an extra piece of velcro!? Shitty ...

Anyway his apetite is back to normal, and he can jump and run already! It is easier than I thought!! And I keep thinking the wound would tear or bleed, or it might be infected, or Toto might keep wanting to bite or lick the wound. We allow him to sometime lick lick it but he is usually not affected by it.

Hopefully everything continues to go well, and we can go kia kia le.

Toto sleeping in his usual favourite position with his prisoner of Toys next to it!

Toto still goes to that area to sleep when YQ goes to work, and for the whole of the day he will be damn sleepy and lethargic UNTIL YQ comes back home.

SO ODD ...

He seldom disturbs me to play or entertain him, but there will be the 'Knock, Knock', I want to go patio moment but very little disturbance. But as yet I have to give him more attention because of the wound, once that heal nicely, I will have an even easier job :)

@ 6mth old!

@6mths old.

He is fully toilet trained. He now pee and pooped less! Usually he will do it once in the morning before 7.30am and once usually after his breakfast and DURING YQ's breakfast!! Then in the evening once before and once after food. But once in a while he will have ALOT of poops!! We wonder why!? We are using less Pee pad too! Maybe once in the day and then will PEE Off in the evening walk!

He can do some simple command. We didn't teach him any more NEW command after BEG. But now we improvised the command in his daily activities. Example, sit and wait at door before going out. Sit and down for wipe out. Not that TOto cannot learn any more, but we are just simply LAZY hahaha! But he can do alot of Catch Stunt!!

TOto commuicate with us, in his own unique way, and with his non argumentative nature, he seldom BARK to get what he wants.

We realised to let us know he wants to go walk walk. He will go first to the Patio door, and when we open it, he wont go out to the patio. Then he will go over to the Bedroom door, and later go over to the changing room, and lastly to the laundry room. Now we know, Patio door means he want to go out; Bedroom door means he want us TO CHANGE! And lastly go get his LEASH which is in the Laundry room!!

This few days he will just sit STARING at the front door, and I have to ask him to wait for Daddy to come home!!

Another great command he learnt is 'GIVE ME' and he will drop whatever in his mouth to us! That is especially useful when he is eating RABBIT POOP or that PLASTIC BOTTLE CAP!

But he is very naughty in the morning ESPECIALLY if we refused to wake up after he try to wake us. And we will catch him trying to Bite Cables or Sofa or Basket!! And he usually DO Naughty stuffs when he wants us to wake up and we refused, and you know he is doing NAUGHTY thing in the living room!

He can also remember his toys names like 'Crab crab', 'Ka ka', 'Monkey', 'Gecko' etc. But he is VERY LAZY and when you ask for something usually he goes get the most convenient toy that is nearby but if we do not want to play he also no choice but to get it.

During his evening walk, YQ has taught the command 'HEEL', once command given, Toto will walk one round behind YQ turn and wait beside YQ. He also will 'SLOW' down when the command is given! But then when there is a dog or rabbit nearby, Toto will go GA GA!! hahahaha ~

If we didn't help TOto wear his harness, he knows ONLY ME AN YQ is going out without him. And he will not be as excited and will sit and watch us leave without any 'commotions'. MAYBE he is happier when we leave without him because he will have ALOT of 'GAMES' plan out!

Conclusion : TOto is NOT the perfect dog but then he is already SO MUCH better than all of the puppies that I have had in the past! And he does CHEW alot too, we have alot of CHEWED and damage CABLES! Stupid dogs keeping chewing up our Electronic cables, but luckily these are cheap to replace. He also chewed up HOLES in the wall, which luckily is also mendable. He also chewed up a plastic basket which is used to keep his toys. We try to keep alot of stuffs aways from him but sometimes due to our own carelessness, he still gotten his PAW on them! So sometimes we blame ourselves for the mistake we make!

Not the purrrfect puppies but Toto is a dog, like kids these are the CONS that comes along with owning one of them! Hopefully when TOto is older he get wiser too ...

@ 6mths and Neutered

We finally bring him in to Ka cha (Neutering Op), we have prep him by contantly 'counselling' him! Hahaha, but we do not know whether he get it or not!! The photos here will are classified as NSFW (Not suitable for work) and VERY RA!

After the run the night before he was too tired to eat but luckily he still manage to eat some at about 11.55pm!! In the morning, he is waiting for YQ to give him his breakfast. I think Toto must wonder how come we don't give him food and drink for so long!! (Not allow to eat the night before.)

Lewisville Railroad Dog Park on a Sunday!

Trying to shake off my Jetlag, I finally struggle enough energy to bring Toto to his favorite Dog Park!!

Hahaha, this is how they say 'Yo yo yo, HALLO!'

Exchanging Butt Info!

Can spot the busybody Toto???

And all the Beans standing around, so weird huh! I guess I earn ALOT of $$$ if I were to open a BAR COUNTER right in the middle of a dog park!!

Nice skyline ...

Nah Toto don't drink SO MUCH water, but then other dogs DO! Hahaha, dogs just come to any water counter, so the ULTIMATELY friendly TOto always like OTHER dogs drink HIS water!! And he always LEFT with NO MORE water to drink, that is why we have to bring a LARGE bottle!

Me getting BORED!!

YQ has to keep a vigilant EYE on TOto because we being 'RESPONSIBLE' dogparent, we have to pick up his SHIT!

Toto right behind KPO-ing again!

There is one incident, so funny. Toto went off to park himself right next to a lady. I call out to him as usual. Me and YQ can see his reaction; so funny. He abit shock to see that I am right OPposite of where he is sitting. He can still look up at that lady, I think he PARK himself WRONGLY! (Explain: Usually, when we call out to him, he just run over. His reaction was; Toto looking at me, then back at the lady next to him shows that he thought that, that pair of legs was mine.)

It was a good run, and by the time he reached home, he was SO DEAD tired!
