the art of racing in the rain

i haven't cried (this much) over a book in a long time...

it's a story from the point of view of a lab-terrier enzo...

who's very old...

*ugly face cry*...

tailrunners dog run 2010

after our relatively late night last night, i got up at 3:45 with just less than 2 hours of sleep to get luc to the dogrun at MOA on time today :) he was sooo excited that we were leaving the house, not knowing where we were really going... got even more excited when we picked up twinpopbro, and was just overwhelmed with the 300 doggies at the run!

here's luc all ready with his yellow bib and race number 063!


while waiting, he sniffed out other dogs passing by... here's another male lhasa with dyed ears and tail (hihi)...


there were lots of other cuties around like this giant maltese/lhasa or something.... the owner has no idea what it is!


english bulldog


chowchow


obese lemon beagle


some looked like serious runners!


like this dog too - which was the dog that suddenly took luc by the neck and lifted him! i thought he was gonna bite his head off! :( sniff!!! :( luc is fine though and didn't seem shaken about it. (this dog won one of the race caterogies by the way. ugh!)


on the otherside, some just kinda sat around looking cute - this shih-tzu looked so tired, but it didn't even attempt to walk or run- haha!


some came really prepared in outfits....


and doggie backpacks



i think luc wants one too (hehe)


luc's new "friend" for the day was natasha, suzette's pretty golden retriever who ran the 1.5k with us :)


awww


here's suzette with natasha :)


reminded me of luc's first dog walk when he was only over a year old - we were with suzette and maggie! aww!


and with derek and milo. both milo and maggie are both gone now :( sniff :(

(and luc just looked bigger, fatter, furrier then!)

ciao, chow chow

hola, sis.

sorry i've been quiet. too busy a'movin.

anyhoo, apart from the pretty city,

and twinpopbro :),

this is who i'll sorely miss in my old makeshift office:

we spend a minute when i catch him in the morning.

too cute...

coco

sungha is growing up and he's getting better and better!

now, how cute is coco, his dog?

and his latest composition (just released this month) is for coco.

hihihihi.

messy doggy

i've been forcing (the real) flower to get acquainted with her newly purchased home from ikea...  but the longest she sits in here is only around 10 seconds.

she still prefers our little bathroom mat.

yun lang :)

p.s. twinpop-m, do you still want the other tent?  it was supposed to be for (the real) belly... she's even more hopeless... she uses the coffee table legs as her pillow.

my little luc

though i'm a little late, i couldn't let the day pass without greeting my little luc a happy birthday! thanks for giving him to me 5 years ago (they're getting old na *sniff* ). my life has never been the same... aww....what a bundle of joy!

luc when he was a puppy


new haircut


long hair


in his red cap


on valentine's day (i know, i know...)


panting after a walk


my favorite portrait


i love when he looks at me like this... hehe


i think my dog needs a dog...


with the family (plus albert!) at our last birthday party!


happy birthday luc, belly, sam and yoda!!!

trouble

speaking of bitches (harhar), an interesting article just came out in the New Yorker about the whole Leona Helmsley "trouble". when she died last year, she left $12million to her beloved dog, Trouble. and left 2 of her grandchildren out of the will. the big chunk of her estate (estimated to be about $8billion) was left to the "provision of care for dogs".

although later on, trouble would lose $10million to the grandchildren. her $2million was deemed sufficient to take care of her for the remainder of her life, considering her age and medical condition.



she's cute :) (trouble, i mean- hehe) i guess i'd also like to be able to leave this earth with the peace of mind that my dog will also be taken cared of. he won't be needing $2million though. haha.
