I'm Famous...LOL!

AT LAST! I have fulfilled my 'dream' of becoming a doggie model....hehehe! Okay, I was not in many shots, but still...at least I can say I managed to get into a photoshoot, right? *grins* AND, I was featured on the website too...how cool is that?! *puffs chest* (Mom: Geez, he really can be full of himself, can't he?)

Alright, alright...I can't say I'm exactly famous like a celebrity, but I find it really exciting to be picked for a photoshoot with some of my doggie friends for a website Mom's friends are working on! *grins* We did the shooting in the morning outside, when the lighting was the best (according to the photographer and coordinator of the shoot)! Lots and LOTS of photos were taken, and we all had fun too...running around, doing some obedience exercises and getting loads of treats for behaving! *grins* And to top it all, I got featured on one of the pages in the site too! (More on the site at the bottom of the page...*grins*)

Haha, okay..I'm babbling too much! Here are some of the 'outtakes' from the photoshoot:

(All photos courtesy of Joe, the photographer of the day!)

This is Jaja...she is a South African Mastiff, and a very playful one at that! Mom loves her gregarious nature and energy! See how she runs!


Jaja, Tasha and I at our first attempt to sit prettily in a row...LOLL! Not there yet. Mom and Yen (Tasha & Jaja's owner) had to stand in to get us to sit properly...LOL! Can you guess which legs belong to who? hahaha!


There we go! Almost got it, except for the human legs...haha!


Mom loves this shot! It was a candid moment, in between arranging the props for the next agenda, but it looked really nice don't you think?


I did a little 'Watch' game with Mom...I got comments that I took things too seriously. LOLLL! Of course it's serious when it comes to treats, no? *wink*


Tasha and I...*grins*


Whee! Mom did a Recall exercise for this one...I'm ALMOST flying! LOL!


Me, 'flying'! hahaha!


Yummy food! I almost didn't resist...see the scrumptious chicken wings at the side? *licks lips*


Ginger got into the action as well! She was too cute in this photo...almost like she's saying "Pfft...I don't like these headphones on my head, so there!" *grins*


And this was me...attempting to be the 'smart aleck' as always! LOL!


Ginger, Tasha and I doing a Down Stay exercise...


Tasha and I attempted to sit in a row again, but I didn't like the squishy grass near my right foot...heheh!


Anddd...a final outtake of me by myself! *grins*



Here's the photo of me that made the cut for the website:

I'm 'calculating' for you...LOLLL!


Check out the website by clicking on the button below! Yup, Mom's friends are starting a new business by providing raw food for the masses! Yen got quite a few remarks from busy owners that feeding raw is a hassle compared to feeding kibble, so she and her partner have come up with a plan to provide people with the option to feed raw easily! Now, not only we get to enjoy yummy raw food, it's easier for our Moms and Dads to feed too! How cool is that? No more excuses for the 'lazy' owners...hehehe!

Come check the website out! It has quite a lot of information on raw feeding, its benefits, FAQs, and even a cool calculator to see how much we would get per meal! *grins* Don't miss my photo too...LOLLL! Mom and I are helping out to promote and sell the yummy food..so, Malaysian doggie friends, order with furrenz.com, and we'll do all the hard work for you! *wink*

A 'Peace Offering' (sort of!)

Well, after a LONG talk with Mom about her blog and mine, we have agreed that she will update my blog more often as she could...YAYYY! Oh, and she made a little 'peace offering' too yesterday:


Hehe...excuse the cracks in the cake. It's a sugar-free vanilla carob cake with some banana inside...*licks lips* Mom actually made another one for the humans (they ate it with vanilla ice-cream...hmm, I wonder if I could get that later? hehehe!), but this love-shaped cake is for moi..YAYY!


Kenji and I having to wait before we can eat...silly Mom couldn't take the cake out of the pan without cutting it in half. LOL! Oh well, all the better for us to eat it, eh? *wink*


Close-up on us and cake...*grins*


And to top it off, Mom put some whipping cream on top...see? 'S' for me, and 'K' for Kenji! Hey, I thought that cake was for me? Pfft...


Me, waiting to chomp down!


It was almost gone within 2 bites...hehehe! I loved it! A little hint of banana in a sort of chocolate-y taste...yumm!


Mom managed to get nicer shots of Kenji though...maybe coz the cake piece was bigger than his mouth, so he had to eat slow...LOL!


He likes to lick off all the topping first before eating...a typical Kenji habit! =P


Okay, so I won't hold grudges any more Mom...here's my smiley face to say thanks for the cool cake! Just make sure you don't ignore my blog for a long time anymore, okay? *grins*

Mom's Update and 'Betrayal'...

Hi everyone!

It's November already...and so near the year end! How time flies, no? But I'm a bit grumpy right now (tell you about that later on in the post)...*pouts*

Mom's arm is getting better...she can slowly lift her arm up high, but she says she still has a long way to go because the strength of the arm is still not back yet. =( She went to the hospital for a follow up and an x-ray:

The doctor said it's healing quite well...new bone is more visible now, and even though there's a nasty-looking sharp edge on the side, he said it will be 'smoothed out' over time. Mom asked about the appearance of her arm, coz she felt like the left arm looked a little 'curved' in comparison with her right arm, but the doctor said that having a (sort of) crooked arm but with full functionality sure beats having a nice straight arm but with limited functionality. Guess we all know which one Mom chose...*grins*


Oh, hmm...I'm supposed to be grumpy *pouts* Why? Because Mom has been neglecting MY blog, but she has time to START HER OWN BLOG! GRRRRR!! It's bad enough she didn't help me with commenting and visiting, but I think she's blogging more on her own blog now than mine...*puppy eyes* Well Mom, I think a compromise should be in order no? You help me blog more on MY blog, and I promise to be a Good Boy more...what say you?? Oh, and her blog link is here (in case anyone wants to see...though I doubt that there WOULD be, coz I'M more popular...hehehe! =P )

Oops, got to go before Mom sees this! I'll be checking up on your blogs, so stay tuned! *wink*

Happy Halloween!

Hi everybody!

Just want to put a quick post to wish everyone a Happy Halloween...Mom and I are celebrating Halloween this year by entering:




The last day for submitting our entries is 31st October 2009, so hurry up and join! There are so many categories to win prizes from...=) If you don't plan to enter, please:

(Click to go to my page!)



Here's what Mom came up with for my costume:

LOLLL! I know, we recycled almost everything! hahaha! Mom is running out of time and ideas, so since we have the uhh, costume at hand, why not make me a 'valedictorian'? *grins* Not that I know what a 'valedictorian' does, so I posed disgruntled-y...haha!


Okay, this was supposed to be a short one, so I'll be off and be more disgruntled now. *wink* Happy Halloween! Hope you got more treats during this cool festive season!

xoxo,

Partying with Chloe, Autumn, Giselle, Charlie and Paul!

Hi everyone!

As promised, here are the photos from a recent party that I attended recently...it is Chloe's (no relation to Amber-Mae & Chloe) and Paul's (her owner) birthday party! What made it so special was her owners were super gracious to host other doggies' birthdays there too! So, we got to celebrate with Autumn, Giselle, and Charlie as well...cool huh?! So, let's get the party started! *grins*


Mom and I arrived early, coz Mom was helping out with some doggie treats...we first met Boy Boy. He's Chloe's big brother...*grins*


Then I met the birthday girl herself! She is so good smiling for the camera!


I think she could be another potential model, don't you think? *wink*


Here are some of the foods the humans (and of course some for the doggies as well!). Mom made these Biscuit Bites (this was taken before the party)


The yummy spread of food...the table in front were mostly food for us furkids, and the rest for the humans. Later that night, there were more additions from Charlie's Mom! Can you imagine the amount of food we all ate? hehe!


Doggie cupcakes...


Nutella-frosted cupcakes (for the humans)...


Pudding...


And fried noodles...*licks lips*


Look at the beautiful cake Chloe got! Her Mom got it from a pet bakery...I wish Mom could make a pretty one like that too someday! *hint hint*


As you can see, it's mostly about food...hehe! These were baklavas, that I think originated from the Middle East. Mom LOVED these pastries!


And there were some yummy looking sweets too!


Of course, it wasn't JUST about food...there were some games and lots of chit chatting. AND, we all got goodie bags to take home! How cool! No photos of the games though, coz Mom was busy 'supervising' me...I got a little, overexcited so she had to 'contain' me at some point. LOL!

But she DID manage to take some photos of my friends who attended the party! Here they are:

This pretty girl Poodle is called Er Lu...she's very camera shy as you can see. She also shied away from me when I tried to say hello!


I got to play with Autumn too! It's been ages since I last saw her at Ruby's Resort! *grins*


This ever cute boy is Archie! Mom loves his 'sad' face...*grins*


And this is Faustina, Charlie's sister...she came dressed as a hula dancer (the party theme was beach luau!), and of course she won the best dressed doggie of the night! hehe!


Here are three American Cocker Spaniels that are so cool! Mom loves their gentle, happy and calm temperaments...they are (from left): Giselle, Golden and Gary! The 3 G's! hehe!


I got to savour many types of doggie treats...one of which was this yummy homemade dehydrated meat. Notice my wet beard? I drooled loads when everybody was eating...haha!


(Photo credit: Chloe's Mom)
After all was done, we all got together for a group photo! See if you can spot me...heh! Look at the amount of people and doggies at the party...it was a smashing success, if I say so myself! *grins*


That's it from me for now...I'm off to visit your blogs now. Wish me luck that Mom will sit down long enough to visit ALL my friends! *crosses paws*

xoxo,
Scottie
