Taking a break

Apologies to all my fans for not blogging. I have taken some time off to smell the fruits (see picture below).



I urge all canines to spend some time smelling fruits too - it's invigorating! HA HA

Dango the SLY

Lady Boss was giving Dango all the goodies she can eat with her injured foot ( the nail thingy )

And Dango is learning fast : injured foot = more food. So show injure foot - food come.

So at times when she wants a share of even Big Boss's very own meals, she raised her injured foot , shaking it a bit, put on a tortured look and like saying : " PAIN PAIN, FEED ME! FEED ME! .."

For a couple of times it even moved Big Boss into breaking the discipline and fed her some of his food.

HA HA HA !!

Until Dango did it too often and Big Boss smell the trick and told Lady Boss about it.
So Lady Boss dangle Dango'favourite dried rib bone infront of her, and up went Dango's famous 'injured' left rear leg. The moment she got the bone she is off running away to chew her prize. Hey! the injure foot is down and back to normal, immediately !!

Dango ! You SLY !!

The day I lost my nail

Today is the day that my Lady Boss got freaked out..... because I lost one of my nails (see picture below).



Not only did I lose one of my nails, I lost a lot of blood too. Lady Boss thinks that I probably injured myself when I did one of my usual high impact jumps, but this time I got injured. She brought me to the vet after she was done freaking out.

I can tell that my Lady Boss loves me a lot, because halfway to the vet's, she realised that I might feel pain in my paw because of the injury. Guess what she did? She carried me for the remaining journey. All 20kg of me!

Here is how I looked like after the vet cleaned up my wound and bandaged me.

HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU

SIGH ! Just heard there is another bullie abandoned and now in SPCA. Only 5.5 months old !In human terms, a 3 year old human kid !

It reminded me of my sad childhood. Thrown into the cruel lonely existance of warehouse security guard when I was only 2 months old. My lucky break came only after another two and years, when I adopted my Big Boss and Lady Boss.

How can humans have such short span of devotion, of love ?
They have all sorts of religions and philosophies, but they are so confused and lost in the basics.

Most of the times we doggies ( Bullies especially , of course ) do better than humans in this aspect. We only need some food and care & love and we are so hopelessly devoted to you, humans...

I'm proud to be a dog.

I am still a shh -small Gal

Some days back Big Boss brought me to the beach.

I was really happy when after crossing the over head bridge we head towards the underground tunnel instead of the park behind the library. The beach ! I like !

But Aiyah ! I found my self out of breath reaching the sand banks where Big Boss usually set me free from the stupid chain and let me play catch ball. This time he brought my favourite squeeking ball too.

After only a few rounds catching the balls, Big Boss looked really closed to my face and said : "what happened to your stamina ?! You are walking after the ball ! "

I was so embarassed I nearly want to run into the sea and ..and.. but I am not stupid, life is still goood neh..

May be I am getting old ? Cannot be wat ! I am still young.

I am still a shhmall girl , a small girl. Dango is only a small girl !

Better do some training at home. These few days, got reason or no reason also run to and fro the length of the house. Also doing more stairs too.

And singing along ; Dango is a Small Gal Bull Terrier, Schi-small gal Bull Terrier.. and a top notch Security Guard !...

In A Dog's Mind

Do dogs dream ?

Sometimes watching Dango's expressions when she sleeps, I would think so.

At times there are sweet calm expressions , and sometimes disturbed expressions. There are little leg kickings ( well that may be only some relex actions, or she actually thought she had to run away from someting , in the dream ? ).

Do dogs make reflections , of important incidents of their past ?

Sometimes I saw Dango looking out of the house without actually looking at any thing, her eyes in some really deep deep 'thoughts'. Even her usual alertness is gone, and quite often I can observe her for quite some time before she noticed it. Then, the even 'darker' expressions, surprised and a bit embarassed and like asking '..oops !..but why are you looking at me like lat..'

Perhaps, more than humans, they can make recollections of even their earlier lives, may be generations of dog images in their DNA..

Enough..

BIG BOSS SAYS -WAY OF THE DOG

Some times we really have to wonder and admire the attitudes, rather, philosophy, of a dog.

Imagine they have no carreers, no money , not even a piece of clothing to their name.
For most of them, they had little social life. Their owners are out most of the time. Rercreation consist of mostly walks in the neighbourhood, a game with a ball or sorts. In side the house, the dog is quite often the only one of its kind..all alone.

Yet they can always remain cheerful and faithful. Had so little, yet give so much.

In my times of low spirit, I often asked my Dango, how she keep herself happy.
In such moments, Dango always pay 100% attention, her dark but sparkling eyes look keenly into mine and always seem to say : "I don't understand a word you said, but I am with you Bro, all the way".

In martial arts we have the 'Way' , the 'DO' ; Judo, Karate-Do, Kendo... all supposed to teach the right philosophy of life through martial training. We have great philosophers from different cultures , from different ages, pointing the way, the DO... but look at Human nature..

The Way of the DOG, DOG DO...

Some years back I was so touched by a SPCA poster featuring a dog looking up to his human owner. It said; .."to you he ( dog ) is just a pet , to him you are his Whole World".

If you share the same reaction I did , then I want to say to you now , that, in itself reflects how self centred HUMANs are ..

DOG DO

Rescued bull terriers

This is a video on You Tube about rescued bull terriers. All the bullies you see in the video were abandoned and subsequently rehomed by Bullies In Need, a UK bull terrier rescue group.



We bullies are loyal, fun loving and we love human companionship. My Lady Boss always says that I'm the apple of her eye, and I hope that the rescued bullies in the video find good homes, be given a new lease of life and become the apple of their owners' eyes as well.

My Flickr Badge

Look on the right side-bar, under the chat box. My Lady Boss made a Flickr Badge for me, and she'll be adding more pictures in due course.

But she thinks that it's ugly now because it stays on the side. Anyone who knows how to change the HTML code to centralise the Flickr Badge, please leave a comment in the comment box.

A DOG'S LIFE

You know, Big Boss and Lady Boss stay in a 3 storey house with many rooms.
I have lots of exercise running up and down . But then I have a big problem.
The two bosses may not be always in the same place same time when they are both in the house.
So who should I follow ? Go with Big Boss, Lady boss not happy and call me to her, go with Lady Boss, Big Boss left alone, not nice leh.

How How ? !!

Besides being really a friend to both Bosses I always try to "earn my living " you know; " tan Chiak tan Chiak " mah. I am always extra hardworking when both bosses are around, like rushing to check noises, chase away passerbys ( especially those on motorcycles I hate ), always checking things out - ALL CLEAR !! .

But how to be with both of them when they are at different places ??

A Dog's life, SIGH ! But at least I know they both luv me a lot , so see one step walk one step lah... they shoul dbe happy they have a great Bull Terrier friend like me : DANGO !!

Every one in the neighbourhood knows Dango !!! Hmmm... life is not too bad lah..

All things bull terrier

My Lady Boss has a few bull terrier items; she calls them my bull terrier friends since I'm aggressive towards other dogs and do not really have any dog friends. Some of these items were bought by her while others were given to her as presents.

Dog in a tee

I have taken to scratching and biting my body quite a fair bit recently. Lady Boss thinks that I'm probably allergic to one of the treats she bought for me. To stop me from causing further bodily harm to myself, Lady Boss made me wear one of her old T-shirts (since it's so difficult to get me to put on an e-collar).
