8th Sept 2006 - Home Sweet Home

Hello frenz,

How's your weekend coming along? I had a very busy weekend since the weather was great and *finally* I get to go out for some fun in the sun! We went to the park on both days and I got to meet up with some doggies and hairless pups (as always they seem so intrigued by me.). I even got to meet Reina! Yup, what a nice surprise cos we didn't plan to meet at all. The hoomans were too busy catching up so no piktures at my end. Perhaps Reina has some to show. :) It was also my very 1st anniversary since my hoomans brought me home. Hmmm...maybe that's why Mom was so nice to me and allowed me to roll and play in the grass!

One year ago, I arrived in Singapore on my own. Okay, so maybe I didn't like get onto an aeroplane on my own but yeah, I was on my own most of the time. At least for a good erm...8 to 10 hours from the time my breeder checked me in for the flight to Singapore till I cleared customs and finally got to meet my hoomans for the very first time. I remember blogging about my puppy piktures when I first started my blog. Ahh, those were the good old days.

Prior to my arrival, my hoomans had been busy setting up my playpen and getting the necessities ready for me. They even prepared a night light and some smelly t-shirt (Dad's of course..I don't remember Mom wearing stinky t-shirts. Okay, Mom made me write that.) in case I get homesick. My hoomans brought me home in a carrier (yup, it was the same carrier which I arrived in Singapore with) and it was pouring really heavily that night. I felt right at home when they let me out to explore my new home (which was only the playpen at that time). Mom was worried they would face problems with my toilet training but I showed that I know exactly what a pee tray is for on my very first day. The look on their face was priceless. LOL!!

The first week was a bit strange and I didn't exactly bark much when they left for work but the nights were according to Mom "sheer torture". I have no idea what she's talking about. So I did whine a little but I thought I was being really discreet. Anyhoo, I stopped after a few days and Mom says I was relatively problem free and easy to handle. :)

I will share with you some early piktures of myself. Some were in fact taken on my 2nd day at home. Some of these piktures make me look really dorky but I have certainly grown up a lot since then.

I look really small (DUH!!!) and unsure of the camera.

My hair was really really SHORT too!

I used to be able to sit on Mom's lap like this but erm...my body's a bit too long for that now although she still tries to cuddle with me like this.

I love to chew baby rawhides. Mom only gives me the smallest size to chew on. What a pawty pooper!

That's me saying HI to Dad!

I started my opawrations on Mr Bear at a very young & tender age. This was one of the very first generation Mr Bear.

I love being hugged by Mom. :)

Cuddle time with Mom!!

OMD, I can't believe that was me!! Was I cute or what? hehe...

One last pikture for the road. :)

These piktures bring back really sweet memories. I wish Mom was at home with me right now. I need a {HUG}. Hopefully, Dad has some piktures of our fun weekend at the park so I can share them with you.
