Mummy's bed

2006-04-25T12:03:00.000-07:00

Mummy's bed is really comfortable.
No wonder she likes to laze on her bed for hours.

zzz

2005-12-06T19:56:00.000-08:00

Mummy said that I got a sexy butt.

"Really har?"

"Don't care, wanna sleep already."

"Huggies"

2005-06-22T09:42:00.000-07:00

Four legs in the air

2005-05-07T09:42:00.000-07:00

Yeah, this is how she sleeps at times.
The famous "shi qiao zhao tian" position.

Get your own seat, pls

2005-04-23T09:35:00.000-07:00

Pepper is sulking because Silver was supposed to have her own chair.
But this Silver just like to squeeze with her.

And not only that, Silver likes to imitate Pepper.

See how silly this Pepper is?
Got her own seat finally and don't know happy like what

So sweet ...

2005-04-04T21:50:00.000-07:00

Did I told you guys that Pepper is very so lady-like?

That's her, looking so sweet and demure.

So lady-like? Indeed

2005-04-04T09:08:00.000-07:00

Just when I was telling everyone how Pepper is so lady-like,

That's what happens when food precedes everything else.
Etiquette is history.

Silver the stalker

2005-03-25T22:38:00.000-08:00

Not only is Silver very sticky, she likes to follow me almost everywhere I go.
A slight movement away from her and she will follow suit to have body contact again.
Even to the toilet.
She will not let me go out of sight.

I was in the toilet and heard loud banging on the door.

*Spotted me

*First attempt to get me*

*There she goes!*

*sigh* I can't even pee in peace.

2004-10-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

My daddy cut my hair tonight.
No more bushy curly hair on my head as my hair is natural curl.

- My new haircut

How I came to this family.

When I was a puppy, I was always kept inside a cage with a few other schnauzers puppies.
I am not sure whether they are my siblings but they were sure as black as me.
There were this couple looking at the cage where I was in for quite sometime.
After a while, I was being carried out with two other puppies.
Yes! freedom at last!
I was allowed to walk on the floor with such a big open space.
It was cold and I was shivering all over.

The other two puppies walked away from the girl that was looking at us.
I was attracted to the ten big big "nipples" in front.
"MILK MILK!" *hallucinating*
Walked wobbly towards it but the "nipples" stepped back each time whenever I nipped on it.
I gave no chance as I was hungry and kept on pestering the "nipples"
The girl in front of me smiled and carried me nervously.

After a long journey in a car ride in the girl's arms, I was in where I am now today!
A place where I call home.

The girl become my mama not forgetting that there is my daddy too.

BTW, my mama finally told me that the so-called "nipples" that I saw are actually her toes.

- That's me when I was a puppy

- Looking on curiously at the strange box(camera)

On the first night, I was sleeping alone in a new cage in the living room.
Feeling lonely,(because no other puppies around) scare and bored, I wailed in the wee hours.
Then the lights were on back.
Mama came out of her room and tried to play with me for a while.
I got it now, so whenever I cry, Mama will come out to play with me.

- Mama coaxing me

However, the trick did not work the next day.
Mama did some reading up on dogs. - see Your Puppy's First Night

Chances are good that the first night your puppy is in his new home, both of you will get little sleep. You can hardly blame your puppy for having difficulty sleeping. Dogs are creatures of habit and routine. Your puppy will miss his mother and littermates and will feel uncomfortable in his new surroundings until he forms a bond with you. Like a young child, your puppy has little control over his emotions and even though he may cry, scolding him will do nothing but cause him to fear you. If your puppy cries for you to come to him for the first few nights, your constant appearance, whether to comfort or scold, will only serve to reinforce the fact that he can make you appear with his cries.

After that, I slept quietly throughout the following nights.

Playtime

2004-10-26T20:22:00.000-07:00

I belong to the active terrier type of dog.
I get bored easily and always follow any walking objects.

When I was a puppy, I love to chew almost everything I see.
From chewing paper to swaying mama's undergarments around.
Destroy a lot of mama bras as well.
Always made the house upside down.
My mama did not manage to paper trained me successfully because I would shredded the newspaper into pieces.
Made my mama and daddy very mad at times.
Once my mama was real mad at me because I chewed up some important stuff.
Now she knows better than to leave her important stuff laying around.

- Playing tug war

- Chewing on the rawhide

I love to play hide and seek with mama too.
Sometimes she will hide and call out for my name to search for her.

- That's me counting from 1 to 10, no peeping please

Sometimes I will try to hide but I don't know why mama always find me in split seconds. *bewildered*

- My "secret" hiding place

- Mama found me already

New kid on the blog

2004-10-25T13:05:00.000-07:00

WOOF WOOF! Hi all!
I am Pepper, the miniature schnauzer.
I am very excited because my mama said that I can have my own blog.
My very own blog.
Isn't that so cool har?
Seeing mama blogging every night while I just sit beside her to watch makes me so bored.

But no more now because I HAVE MY OWN BLOG!
I am a new kid on the blog! WOOF WOOF!

Daddy suggested bringing me for a walk at night and Mama wanted to tag along.

There are a few signs that I can tell if my Daddy is going out.
First, Daddy will put on his waist pouch.
Secondly, Papa say "Pepper, Kai Kai"
*me watch with big big eyes and then immediately bark in high pitch, looking for my leash and wait at the door, barking continously*
Thirdly, either Daddy or Mama take plastic bag from the kitchen for my poo during the walk.
Fourth, the leash is being hook to my collar.
(100% bring me out for "kai kai" liao!)
Fifth, out of the house!!! Wooo Hoooooo!!!

- See my happy face after the walk

- Thirsty after the walk while daddy preparing the towel

- Cleaning up

- Don't forget the beard too
