Double Whammy Of A Celebration!

Hola amigos!

It's me, Kenji, taking over the blog again...mwahahahahaha! It was my BIRTHDAY on Saturday, and....*thud*

*scramble scramble* GEROFF! It's MY blog you know??!! Little brothers are such a pain....*sigh* But I guess it WAS his birthday, so for today, we shall share the post....and throughout the post we will be posting in different colors so you can tell who's talking. I (Scottie) will be in BLUE, coz that's my favourite colour! *grins* Kenji shall be in PURPLE, coz that's the closest thing to red (his favourite colour). Red wordings on a green background hurts the eyes so he shall compromise...heh! Anyways, take it away Kenji...

Thanks Scottie! As I was saying before I was rudely cut off by my big fluff of a brother...it was my Birthday, and since it was also Father's Day on Sunday, Aunty Audrey decided to make me a little something for my birthday...*puffs chest* Now, what's the best way to know that you're the favourite furkid of the house? When you get awesomely nicer yummies than your brother!! 

HEYYYY!!! 

*snickers* I'll show you later on in the post...for now, it's on to photos!

Nah, this is not Kenji's cake...it's a coffee cake made for Grandpa for Father's Day! Mom wanted to be creative and write "Happy Father's Day" on the cake, but thought better of it since her frosting skills need (LOTS of) work. Heh! So she just made little swirlies and put hearts on it. Grandpa liked it! Happy Belated Father's Day to all the Dads and Grandpas out there from all of us! *grins*

Yeah, yeah....now, on to my most FAVOURITE thing of all! Drum roll please!

Ta dah!! I know it looks like little blobs of stuff, but it's actually Meat Cake Pops!! I know it sounds kind of weird, but here's the story (according to Aunty Audrey): she was browsing through some websites for ideas on making a cake for me...since she already did cupcakes before, she wanted something a little different. That's when she stumbled upon Cake Pops (Cake Lollipops) as an inspiration! 

She didn't want to make floury cakes as was the 'tradition' for the past few cakes she made for us, so she made her own version: Meat Cake Pops! LOL! The 'lollipop' sticks were rawhide chews and the cake were actually meatballs baked and cooled, then frosted by mashed potatoes and sprinkled with bacon. Then top it off with decorations cut from cheddar cheese. Arrange it all nicely in a bowl shaped like a vase, and you get your own bouquet of Cake Pops! YUMMMM...*licks lips* See what I mean by me being the favourite? I have the 'creative' cakes, while my brother gets only a round cake...hehehehehh!

Pffft....whatever! *rolls eyes*

And here's the spread of yummy food that the humans get too (only the ones at the top of the photo...the ones at the bottom are ours!). There's pasta, roasted chicken and yucky green veggies...LOLL! I still think the Cake Pops are the best! *wink*

Yuki came to visit too for my birthday, and we all posed for a photo! It was SOOO hard to lie still while that big bunch of meatballs with bacon are right in front of us! Notice we all looked so impatient and unhappy....coz they keep snapping the photos and asking us to do silly stuff! GRRR!

After a VERY long wait, we got to chow down! See mine? I have a gold star next to my initial! It means I'm super special...*broad grin*

Yeah well...MINE was a SUPER huge one with my own initial on it! Mom made it SPECIALLY for me, so THAT makes me the favourite...*puffs chest*

Uhh ohhh....look at the mess we made. >.<"

Not only is my birthday SUPER special, I got this SUPER big deal of a chew bone as a birthday pressie! See how big it is?? It's as big as me!! o.O Oh man, this is going to take AGES to chew on, and I'm well up for it...*grins*

*sigh* I still have to share it though, but only for this photo's purpose....no way Scottie's going to take my bone from me!

Okay, that's it! No more Mr. Nice Brother from now on....now it's back to me! *pushes Kenji away* Anyways, sorry for not commenting on your blogs very often...I do visit, but haven't been able to comment much. Will rectify that very VERY soon! Until then, Happy Belated Father's Day and hope you all have a great week ahead!

xoxo,

Scottie (& Kenji)

Giveaway Results!

Hi everyone!

Sorry for being MIA again...as you've probably known, Mom is in the midst of getting a new workplace, so apparently she had been rather nervous and can't do much for me. Hmmph! Still, we promised that we would announce the winners of my first giveaway today, so we made sure of that! *grins* The editing and uploading of the video takes forever, but it's a good thing the day's not finished yet...heh!

Here I am...hoping you won't forget me! *wink*

Mom wrote the names of the participants on recyclable paper...she says we should help save the environment as much as we can. Whatever you say, Mom! *grins*

Mom lined up the names in a row and put treats on them for me to choose, and

The results:

Congrats to the winners, Ebi & Emma AND Santa & Minnie! As I've only got 2 tags to give away, I guess you would need to decide who is getting the tag...*wink* Please email me at: nottiescottie(at)gmail(dot)com with your choice of tag from furrenz.com, address and what you would like to engrave on the tag so I can send the tags your way!!

Thanks so much to everybody who participated! You all have been PAWSOME!! *grins* Here's to more giveaways in the future...*grins*

A Much Needed (But Not Liked) Furcut & New Tags!!

Hi everyone!

So sorry again for the slack in posting and visiting. Mom is in the midst of looking for a new working place, so she said she will be a bit busy. Thank goodness she had time about now to help me with this! I have loads to post, but I will start with the most recent update. *grins* Mom sent me to the groomers the other day...and when she got back from work, she wasn't too pleased with me. Why?

This is what I looked like before: all curly mops and unkempt face;
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

And THIS is what I look like now! Mom wailed when she saw that my beard is almost all gone! I guess she forgot to mention to the groomers to just trim it a little and not lob it all off...heh! She now claims that I looked like a 'mutt with a moustache'...pfft! Whatever Mom! I just like the fact that I'm all set for the hot weather we've been getting these days...*grins*

Another thing that I'm very excited about is that both Kenji and I got some AMAZING new ID tags! Aunty Yen has just launched a brand new collection of tags at furrenz.com, and they are just SUPER AMAZING! Check this out:

This is mine! It's an elegant blue colored barrel shaped tag, engraved with my name and two paws! *grins* Mom said the tag is made from anodized aluminum, so it's super light! The kettle on top is a little 'charm' thing that Mom got for me, something akin to humans' charm bracelets...I don't know what it symbolises, but Mom said it looked cute with the barrel.

And at the back, she engraved her phone number and some nice roses too!

Kenji wasn't too stoked that my tag is nicer than his...hehehe! But then, his tag is cool too!

This is what the front looks like...a cool paw shape that's small and light enough for his small frame! Oh, and it's red too...it so matches his red collar!

And this is what was engraved behind! Notice the little teddy bear beside his name? Just goes to show he's a softie at heart...*wink*

If you're from Malaysia, and you'd like to order a tag just like ours, go HERE to visit the website and check out the super cool range of tags available! But wait, Mom said there is a surprise in store for all my friends too! We will be hosting a GIVEAWAY of not one, but TWO of these great tags, and it's going to be open to my friends from all over the world! YAYY! Mom is still working on the kinks of the giveaway, so I will post up how you can get your paws on a free ID tag in my next post! Stay tuned!!! *grins*

Gifts from JD & Max!

Oh man...I didn't notice it was already March! >.<" Sorry for posting this super SUPER late, but as the cliched saying goes, "Better late than never", right? *wink* Let's dive straight into the PAWSOME gifts that I got from JD, Max and their humans, Neil & Clare!

The HUMONGOUS stash of gifts! Aren't they super?!

The first thing that I grabbed was the squeaky rattlesnake toy...*grins* I love the rattling sound that it makes when I squeeze it!

Mom absolutely HEARTS this lovely cushion, but I claimed it first! Here's what I thought of Mom when she tried to coax me into giving it up...

See? It CLEARLY states in Rule No. 1 that if I like it, it's MINE! Mwahahahahaha!

And here's how I claim my pillow...VERY soft and nice! *grins*

Look at the pretty ornament and magnet! I think I DEFINITELY got Mom wrapped up around my wee paws...heh!

Mom also got some really nice notebooks and bookmarks! She loves to read, and now she has a cute puppy dog looking out at her when she flips to continue the page. *grins*

Oops...Kenji got a little bored. Heh! But no worries, I shared with him the chew bone that JD & Max sent! It finished before we knew it...*licks lips*

Close up on the toffees that Mom got! They were super scrumptious according to Mom! She adores this cute mailbox can...I think she wants to make it into a coinbox when the toffees are gone. LOL!

There's also a LONG train container full of toffees too! Mom loved the rum and butter flavored toffee from it *grins* Ooh, Mom asked me to mention the Whisky Cake too...she forgot to take a photo of it, but it was SUPER yummy! I didn't get a taste of it, but Mom said it was SOOO good, she polished off even the crumbs...LOL! (Mom: I did share it with my family...Scottie likes to make me into such a glutton. Tsk tsk tsk!)

Here's the pretty card that I got from JD & Max! The 5 doggies are super cute, and I just love the last doggie on the right who turned back and look...*wink*

I wish I could have met you guys too! I'm hoping that one day, we'd all be able to meet in pawson without having to go through the 'quarantine' thingy and get to play like tomorrow never comes!

There's also this VERY COOL gadget that we got! It's a little fan that you can program messages into it! So, our first message on it says: THANKS JD & MAX! We so very appreciate the lovely things sent to us...we're hoping you'll find our little gifts appropriate too! *grins*

New collars and being a doofus for Mom

Hi everyone,

Here are some recent photos that Mom took of us (well, if you feel the past month is recent! LOL!). She got us new collars from Beary's en Vogue...the lady was very nice and makes very cool collars! Look at what Mom got us:

This was the one Mom got for me...the name for this collar is Lollipop. Mom loves the blue and the stripes on it =) She put a little bell on the collar too so that she'll know where I am in the house, or if I've been up to something (that's when I become very quiet...hehehe!)

Another look at the collar...

Kenji got this one: Leopard....hehe! Maybe coz he looks like one? LOL! Aunty Vivian liked the pattern of it!

Another angle of the collar...

The owner of the blog was very nice...she made a matching Lollipop collar for Kenji! Now we can wear them together and people will know we're brothers...*wink*

Us together with our matching collars...err, sorry you can't see mine. My beard is quite troublesome at times, but you get the idea *wink*





***************************************************************************************

Here are some more recent photos taken a few days ago. Mom was in a particular weird mood that day:

I was quite pooped out from running about and playing, so I plonked down to rest. It so happened there was my favourite toy (which coincidentally is a doggie too...heh!) next to me. Aunty Jane thought it was hilarious and cute at the same time....pfft.

Close-up on us...with Mom laughing at the same time. It took her so many shots to get this, I almost got up from all the giggling. I don't really get them humans most of the time!

Here's another one....don't I look 'scholarly'? More like, nerdy right? *rolls eyes* The glasses were Mom's. She's such a dork!

*sighhhh* The things we put up with, right? Mom thinks this would make a cute background or header photo for the blog's layout (she thinks it's time to change it, but I don't know when it'll get done...haha!). What do you think?

New Treats from Korea!

Hi everyone!

This will have to be a quick one, so I'm doing slideshows again!

Aunty Jane has come back from Korea...and she brought us some treats! There were also a few surprises that Mom got for me, courtesy of a big stock clearance sale at one of the pet stores she went to! I hope it's viewable! *grins*

(To view the bigger version, click here: http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/babyrayne17/Scottie_Treats/?albumview=slideshow)

Meanwhile, in Mom's 'Baking Land', she made some sugar cookies (for the humans only...*sigh*) and decorated them with the help of Aunty Vivian. Since it was their very first attempt at frosting cookies, it was almost an epic FAILURE...LOLLLL! Mom says next time, if she does any frosting for the dog cookies (which she intends to...oh no!), she will just drizzle the cookies with it...nice and simple! Not sure how it will work out, but I'll be sure to let you know when it's out...

(To view a bigger version of this slideshow, click here: http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/babyrayne17/Sugar%20Cookies/?albumview=slideshow)

That's about it for now...we're SOO sorry we haven't been visiting your blogs lately! Gramma's Mom is very very sick, so the family's been traveling alot to and fro...I hope I can come by to visit your blogs soon. Till then, take care!

Turning Two The Nottie Scottie Way...*wink*

Hi everyone!

So sorry that I didn't go visiting your blogs this week...Mom has been bustling about a lot the past week! And all because...

It's my birthday today!! I am officially two years old now...yayy! I feel so grown up...*puffs chest* Because my birthday's on a Monday, Mom threw me a little 'paw-tea' yesterday (hence the running about to get stuff), and I enjoyed it LOADS! Here's how it all went down:

The yummy spread of food that Gramma and Mom prepared (and bought as well! heh!)

But the centerpiece of it all is MY BIRTHDAY CAKE! It's a meat cake! *grins* Mom made it herself, and she's feeling rather proud of herself coz it was her first time making a cake! I heart the 'Happy Birthday' candles...even though I think it's a bit too many candles to celebrate a 2-year-old birthday! *grins* We'll post up the recipe and how she came about with this cake in the next post...*wink*

Peanut butter cookies and tartlets for us as well! Those were not made though...LOLL! Mom bought them from a pet bakery blog. Yummy!

Me enjoying the 'sea' of food...heh!

And then it was time to light the candles! *grins*

Kenji joined in the festivities as well...*grins*

I got a little birthday song from Mom...albeit it being a bit out of tune, but hey it's the thought that counts right? LOL! We then blew out the candles (well, Mom did it!) and it was CAKE TIME! Yummy!

But first, we had to pose for photos...*sigh* I thought it's MY DAY, Mom!

After that, it was (FINALLY!) feasting time! Me getting a big bite of the meaty goodness...yumm!

Kenji licked off all the 'chocolate flakes' and the 'frosting' first before delving in...haha!

I finished mine in no time flat...and licked my bowl clean!

And then, I spied Kenji's bowl...OMG,he still has some there!

But I didn't eat his portion...I'm a good brother. *wink* Ooh...I forgot to mention, we got some raw turkey wings for dinner as well! I've not had turkey before, so it was a real treat! So yummy! And after that, Mom gave us some tartlets for dessert! But I have to do my silly trick again...


Lady got her share of the cake, tartlets and cookies too! But she was too quick for Mom's camera, so Mom had to do this to get her to stay still. But she's still so fast! LOL!

Finally, she got her wish and enjoyed her piece of cake too...heh!

After ALL that feasting (or should I say GORGING! LOL!) on the yummy food, it was present time! YAYY! Mom got us to pose next to each other, but it seems that Kenji wasn't a bit too happy. Wonder why...

Ripping off the wrapping paper...

...to reveal new toys! YAYY! I got a new tug rope, a bottle of 'dog beer' (that squeaks! haha!) and a slipper-lookalike toy!

Mom got Kenji a new tug too! She said he should have one his own size...heh!

Kenji trying out his new tug...it's called a 'Flavor Rope'. Apparently, as we bite or chew on it, the rope releases some flavor. Kenji's was 'chocolate'..

...and mine was mint! *grins*

It was quite an eventful, tiring, but AWESOME day for me! Thanks Mom and Gramma for doing all this for me! I feel so blessed...*grins*

xoxo,
Scottie
