Tests - CLEAR!

We went for some tests today like we do every once a year. General Blood Test + Heartworm Test + Urine Analysis & Mircoscopy Tests. This is because we ain't on any Heartworm prevention, nor vaccinations, nor chemicalized tick prevention. The vet did ask if we want any vaccinations or heartworm/tick prevention though, but Mom declined nicely.

Maybe vets these days should find out more about other Natural/Organic ways (which we're using) to prevent all these instead of fillin' animals' bodies with loads of chemicals & medications... then that would be real great.

The vet also commented that she's impressed with Cotton's skin! That its so healthy & pink w/o any problems (no bumps, no nothin) despite the HOT weather here + her ultra-mega thick & long coat! All we can say is...... its due to a gd organic raw diet.

Waited 20 mins for the results, & Mom was happy with it!

All's clear for us! We had our weight taken @ the vet's @ I'm currently @ 4.26kg, Cotton @ 4.06kg. The vet was a newbie... Dr. Sim J. She asked if I was refusin food since I'm sooo skinny & light. I wanted to burst out barking (i meant... laughin) as I'm known to all as THE Greedy One whom can eat a whole cow alive & still demand for more food!

(I think lotsa ppl dun really like newbie vets, but we believe every1 deserves a chance, & every1 started from scratch isn't it? They're a very newly opened Vet Clinic called Animal Care Vet Centre [ACVC]. Good facilities like instant bloodtest results, X-ray facilities comin in soon etc. Nice environment too.)

Anyways, Mom thinks that as long as we're healthy, it doesn't matter the weight. The result shows all's well within range. Except for my ALP (somethin to do with the liver profile) which is 2 points below the lowest range of 20 @ 18. But its not biggy, the vet says I might be a lil' too hungry @ that point of time which is why its a lil' lower.

IM HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!!

Our urine analysis + microscopy tests are also very very good this time round. Last year, we had a lil' crystals (struvites) in it. But ever since Mom changed almost 99% of all our Raw Meats to Organic ones (more ex, but worth it), we hav NO MORE crystals on the newspapers after our pee dries up! Now with the tests done, we're even more sure that we've no more crystals issue ever since we're on 99% all Raw Organic Meats, all-organic blended veg & organic tonic. As well as lots & lots of clean filtered water (up to 800ml each per day includin organic chamomile tea of 3/4 cup each daily, 3/4 bowl of filtered water acting as 'soup base' with our raw diet as well as drinks after our walks).

The Wonders of Organic foods for humans & animals! Not to mention clean filtered/distilled water as well.

Lastly, heartworm tests' clear too.

08 04 09

Today marks Starr's 1st Barkday, as well as Mom's 1st attempt @ her drivin test. Starr's no longer with us as some of you already know. He's havin a jolly good life in Phuket now with his wonderful new owners. Not to mention as well that he has a pretty "wife" (another beautiful whippet) there now too named Kirourou. From the same kennel as well...

He has so many playmates as well. 1 Labrador, 2 Salukis, 2 Dachshunds, 2 Chihuahuas, & 1 Whippet (Kirourou).

This is Kirourou aka Lulu. Now tell me that ain't pretty with those LARGE eyes


this is Starr there durin the 1st few days...

accordin to them, he dug into the sand like mad & loved the beach there too


Starr with Kirourou & another of his pack members - a Lab

this is Mom's fav. pix... Accordin to his new Mommy, he's tryin to stop Lulu from winnin him in the race!


(Mom: The above pix simply defines the power of a pack. Starr never really did love swimmin over here with us as both Velvet & Cotton didn't like it as well. With his new pack over there, he simply 'follows' their energy as well as the stuffs they do.

We know Starr is happy there with much love & fun (lotsa runs & swims) over there which we cannot provide him due to our space & time constraints. We hope to visit him 1 day too... & we know he'll remember all of us the moment he smells us..... =] )

Happy 1st Barkday Starr!

Now to Mom's 1st attempt @ her drivin test today on Starr's barkday coincidentally. Mom had a thought before, that if she passed on her 1st attempt (since she's sucha blur shit on the road most of the time), it'd prolly mean Starr is blessin her & sayin he's happy & well there. If she fails, it'd prolly mean he's sad that he's sent there...

But of cuz its juz a casual thought.... we can tell he's happy from the pix as well as from his kind new owners' updates.

Nonetheless, Mom passed with a Class 3 (manual / auto) licence!



Maybe its due to luck, maybe its thanks to our Lucky Starr's blessings all the way from Phuket to Mom... =]

KaiKai & Kiki

My Takashi Murakami's Designer Flower Cushion is here!!! It was fast!! Neways, its sooo precious so I'll try to not dirty it since its so expensive (approx. S$280 [17,500 Yen]).

A box arrived all the way from Japan


all neatly wrapped up in double layers!


:D


the other side


I tried huggin it 1st


not bad... Durn tried to test on the petals...


very gd...........


Flower passed Durn's test too. So goooood that she fell asleep on it


It'd be sooooo much better if Mom had gotten the 1 metre (S$613 excludin shippin) Flower for us instead of the 60cm. Since my body's 36cm long, + durn's it'd be around 70cm. We'd need the 1 metre size to fit us BOTH in it comfortably!

The 2 metres size (largest) is S$2,748.20 excludin shippin.

But I dun really fancy sharing. So I guess this will do fine for me alone, for now.

Bird's-Day

It's MY day today! Nothin much's happenin as Mom thinks I'm (We, rather) almost the luckiest bitch on Earth havin organic foods daily already. Today makes me 4 btw.

Dad had been surfin the net for awhile & found a really really cute & cool designer cushion. So they reckoned they'd get it for ME (since i LOVE to lie on any softy places & make it my own BIRD'S-NEST!)? It's designed by a Jap artist - Takashi Murakami, who's also famous for his collaborations with LV in 2003.

The sizes available are 30cm, 60cm, 1m & 2m. They've gotten me the 60cm @ 14,000 Yen (excludin 3500 Yen shippin fees). The pix below shows the exact size (60cm) I'll be getting!!


2metres flower (approx. 120,000 Yen) @ a balcony! [pix courtesy of honeyee]




I can turn it to either side dependin on my daily mood!

I can't wait for my Happy-Face-FLOWER to arrive! There's also 1 that looks like Durn! But too bad she ain't gettin it!!! I think they got me the above because my lovely face reminds them of this happy beamy lookin flower!

See... juz like Durn durn! blackie-face flower! =p



This is another pressie I've received from Muffin. Thank you!
