Petsmart Report Card

Petsmart issues REPORT card for the dogs after their DAYCAMP, so cute right!!

He is always the LIFE of the party! We realised that not everydog initiate play and TOto is that dog who always initiate play with other dogs! And we hear for quite a number of other owners who claim that their dog is always unusually 'hostile' towards other dogs but is always willing to play with Toto!! TOto always manage to bring out the playful side of other dog!!

TOto get the 'SUPER' sticker!

Toto has quite a number of different 'BEST' friend!

'NOODLE'; cute name for a dog!!

TOto is toooooooooooo YOUNG to have a girlfriend!!!

Hmmmpfff; jealous!

TOday is a 'Unusually' grouchy day for TOto, we wonder why! Maybe when hubby brought him down to walk and hub refused to let TOto play with another dog named Dixie!!

@ 10months old

• Toto has totally eliminate his habit to Poop and pee at home!
• He seems to be so much calmer, but on the same time still very stubborn!
• He prefer to sleep with us, and has QUIT the habit of chewing the sofa in the morning!
• He loves to stay out in the patio when hubs is not around!!
• When he see dog approaching, he has learn to go into a 'down position' and wait for the other dog to approach.
• He warrant less attention from us and is more independent.
• He loves his crate now and will go into it to sleep on his own.
• His chewing habit has diminish and at the same time he is not as curious, and so he will only bite or play with his own toy and ignoring our stuffs! He didn't even sniff out the new X'mas tree that we have put up!
• He don't allow me to handstrip him, and whine at the slightest pain! BAD~
• Toto has establish a way to communicate with us, when he want something, he will sit near it and start whining. He will start soft and get louder hahaha~ If he want to eat, it will be in the kitchen, if he wants to go patio, he will sit near the Patio door. If he wants to go out, he will sit either at our bedroom door or at our front door!

Overall he seems to have improved alot @10months old, although the improvement is small but these are good improvements!!

Snugging with hubs in the morning!

Before going for his Salon appointment!

USD60.00 for a 2 hour handstripping, ouchie! His 'haircut' is more expensive then hubs and moi!

Off he goes to ClassyK9 at Plano; a new branch!

After his strip, no major difference but then he smell good and look so much neater!!

TOto looking ON when me and hubs is decorating the X'mas tree!

See the way the both of them sleep!

Sleep until like that!!

Looks so comfy huh ...

1st time Peanut Butter Oatmeal flaxseed Dog biscuit!

There is one word that can get TOto's attention always immediately, and that word is 'Biscuit'! Especially useful when he is outside walking and do not want to go home!!

This is the first time I have done actual COOKIE baking. So it is all 'trial and error'! So armed with a basic pictorial recipe from Dog treat Kitchen, I got myself the ingredient and here it goes ...

I added 2 teaspoon of flaxseed and half of a 1/4 cup of canola oil. Toto is a ODD dog, he doesn't really like biscuit that is TOO HARD.

Revised Ingredients:
•2 cups whole wheat flour
•1 cup rolled oats
•1/3 cup peanut butter
•1 1/4 cups hot water milk
•2 teaspoons flaxseed
•Half of a 1/4 cup of canola oil

My cookie cutter is so small, it is ALOT of pressing to do!

But we do not want to Over feed or Over indulge in Toto!

My 123 Cookie cutter.

I would love to get cookie cutter in dog bone shaped but usually that shape is too big!

I threw away the first batch because it got burnt, so I have to tune down my oven's temperature but the 2nd batch look lovely. My dog biscuits looks like a batch of All natural Dog cookies that I purchase sometime ago from Farmer's market that TOto love so much! And that ain't cheap, especially things that are termed 'Home-baked'!

But overall these cookies are quite economical to prepare at home but it takes up alot of time and effort.

Toto LOVE it!

Establishing new schedule ...

We are slowly getting use to each other again! And TOto is refusing to use the Nugi at home. He seems to have QUIT Nugi and prefer to pee outdoor! We should be really HAPPY about it but we are just worry if the weather is really bad, then what happen!? Hahaha, some people take MONTHS to train their dog to pee outside we have a SELF-TRAINed westie and we are still fretting over it. The irony!

Anywa, in order to (配合) coordinate with this new habit of TOto's, we try to bring him out more often establishing a schedule. For now, we are doing a 4x a day schedule; 8am, 12pm, 5pm and 10pm! Hopefully slowly we can eliminate to 2x a day schedule.

Anyway TOto is calmer and easier to bring down for his walk. FOr his daytime walk, TOto can do it UNLEASHED!! Even when hub bring him down, and I CALL out to Toto from my Patio, he will come running home!! Hahaha, good dog!! And when leashed, he is not pulling as bad as he used too. He certainly has learnt some good habit from MR K!

He is still our TOto!

TOto is back home!

We drove over to Petsmart to fetch him back once we settle. TOto is so happy to see us, we are glad he remembered us too! And shortly we drove over to MR K home to collect his stuff. And TOto was so comfortable in Mr K home! Hahaha ~ Luckily when we are ready to leave and we call out to TOto, he is still willing to jump up the car and leave with us. Hub will be devastated if he do not want to come out from Mr K's house!

The first day back at home, TOto acted abit weird sort of not knowing what to do and seems like he do not know what is expected from us, and he dare not even sleep on the bed with us unless invited. BUT after ONE invitation there is NO TURNING back! Hahaha.

He seems to behave so much better. We wonder is it because he is scared that we will leave him again??? Hubs say it might be because he is OLDER thus CALMER! But he is still as playful, and full of energy! He remember alot of things that we use to do with him ...

Alot of habits is not forgotten, and he also remember all the tricks as well!!

Anyway, first thing when we fetch him back is to DUNK him into a bath-tub to bath him. After that Hub bring him out for his first walk with us!

He still remember the Sunset at the Patio ...

Toto is the BIG WINNER of this year Black friday Sales!

He is seen walking into his crate a few times to nap by himself!!

His new bed , we still don't know whether he like it or not ...

We love you and miss you so much!

We wonder can you feel us?

Updates from Mr K

Mr K is having a blast with Toto ...

But everyday after his daycare Toto is very tired, so it will be an easy task for Mr K ...

His favourite activity before he sleep, CHEWING off Hippo's ear! That ear is VERY SMELLY! I have already wash Hippo 3x because of the smelly, slimey ear. The more fun he had in the day, the MORE he will chew on it! Like he still hasn't had enough of fun!

In a short span of time, he has already TAKE OVER Mr K's Bed!!

TOto looks like a dirty happy dog huh! HE MUST be very happy, Mr K would be so nice to Toto, unlike Mommy and Daddy who would FORCE to wipe him out daily, which TOto hate very much! Hahaha ~

Dogs would have to be very trusting to sleep in such a 'vulnerable' state. With these photos, at least I know Toto is happy and trusting Mr K! But then, so sad we are missing him so badly and he is sleeping like nothing has change!!
