Cookie in a soup bowl~

I put Cookie in a soup bowl and took a picture of her. She fitted right in! How cute! She is so tiny!

I gave the 2 of them a bath yesterday in the bathroom sink and they smell great after that. Then I had them on my bed for the whole afternoon while we watched TV and study. Unfortunatelt, they are still not toilet trained yet, so I did get a little pee on my sheets. But I am fine with it, it's part and puzzle of having pets. My mum would freak out though but I seriously think that man and animals can live very well together. Everyone should have a pet! It's heathy!

Bundles of Joy

The two tiny toy poodle puppies have added much joy to our humble home which is now offically a "doggy house". They have been with us for the past 5 nights and so far they have been sleeping through the night. They wake up very early in the morning though...6am on the 1st day, 6:30am on the 2nd day, 7:15am on the 3rd day, 6:30am on the 4th and finally 7:30am this morning. We have decided to give them a late night feed so that they can sleep until later in the morning and I think it is working...

Here's a picture of the 2 of them! :)

Weekend Update - My Tiny Toy Poodles~

I am sorry Oreo, I won't be taking you home... Oreo is the name of the blue toy poodle that I had decided to name when I set off to Causeway Bay yesterday evening intending to take him home. M and his wife came to fetch us at around 5:15pm, they are really sweet, they both love dogs and they wanted to see the puppy that I have mentioned to them the whole time we were bowling on Saturday night.

After arriving at Causeway Bay, I decided to take them to another pet shop selling some tiny toy poodles imported from Taiwan. I know Mrs M loves small dogs, so I thought she would love to see those little darlings. I wanted to make a comparison too, just to make sure that I wouldn't make the wrong choice. The shop owner recognized me from Friday, he picked up the sweet little girl that I had carried and handed it to me almost immediately. Oh, she is so small and so sweet and so cute! Such a little darling! Then another boy was frantically trying to catch our attention, jumping around, playing and disturbing the rest in the cage. Hubby thought that he was so funny and so he brought him out too. Then I was thinking to myself, why not I get a boy and a girl? Both of them will cost less than Oreo alone! Besides, they are in my original intented colour of choice!

We went to see Oreo anyway. He was as usual very active and happy to be brought out of his cage so that he could run around and play with the other adult poodles. There were several other adult poodles around with really beautiful thick coats of fur. Oreo is very, very beautiful, but somehow, I feel that it belong to owners with bigger homes, homes with a spacious living room for it to run around, and that is definitely not my house in Hong Kong. If I am in Singapore, I will probably take him home with me, he will enjoy playing with the kids and running around the house.

I couldn't make up my mind, so we went off for dinner, I needed everybody's suggestions. Mrs M said she prefer the tiny ones, *me too actually*, hubby said he would like to have a boy and and a girl, *NICE*, Mr M said having 2 will be more fun than just 1, *I'm convinced*. So in the end I bought 2 tiny toy poodles instead. \\^-^//

And I have named them Coffee and Cookie. My little darlings!

What is stopping me?

I have fallen in love with this dog which we saw in a pet shop at Causeway Bay. It was really a coincidence that we found this shop after coming out of the MRT station on Friday evening. We were intending to go to some of those pet shops along the streets to see some puppies. We always do that, it's one of our favorite "pass-times" in Hong Kong. We spotted the sign "Gaite Poodle" almost immediately coming out of the station and we decided to check it out. It was on the 2nd floor and after the shop owner opened the door for us, we saw just 2 poodle puppies for sale. One was in the teddy bear colour and the other was black, at least to me it was black at first sight.

However the information written on the cage was "blue toy poodle" and after being showed closely, he was indeed bluish. His coat of fur was amazing! So thick and yet so soft to the touch! I have never touched a coat of fur as fine as his. He was obviously very healthy and very smart. Oh, he is such a sweet, sweet darling! I wished I could bring him home immediately!

To bring him home, the price tag is HKD33,000. Is the price tag stopping me? I would think not as I think he is really worth that kind of money. Then what is stopping me? I guess it's the responsibilities involved. Can I take good care for him? Do I have enough time to play with him? I am working and studying and out of the house most of the time, so how am I going to make sure that he will be happy in my home? Hubby is not helping even though he likes the dog a lot too. He is sleeping the whole Sunday away...I wish to go see the dog again. I am feeling really terribly miserable now, almost like I am being jilted and out of love now... Can I ever forget him?

Addicted

Went for a girls' night out on Friday and came home addicted...no, it's not what you think...it was not THAT type of girls' night out. E and I met J to catch up on things with her (she left our Japanese company to join a US company) and we went for dinner at Little Sheep(小肥羊), my favourite restaurant. Apparently J is much happier at her new company and we were discussing about the differences in work culture between the two. E & I can only envy her and went on to lament our plight at the rigid system of the Japanese company. Later, E disclosed that her brother had opened a pet shop nearby so we went for a "look-see". The "look-see" became "hug and play" with one of the toy poodle puppy there and I fell helplessly in love....
Actually my 1st encounter with the toy poodle was about 3 years ago when hubby and I went to Taipei. There were many pet shops in Taipei around Shiling Night Market which sold mainly toy poodles, the tea-cup version and I have since decided that I want a toy poodle as a pet if I am ever going to have one. Hubby likes dogs too, we have been going to pet shops around Mongkok and Causeway Bay to view puppies since coming to Hong Kong but we didn't know any shops who would allow us to touch the puppies...E's brother's shop was different, I was allowed to carry and play with the puppy! The little fellow was so lovable! He was so small, I could carry him in one arm and i can feel him softly hugging my arm back. His fur was soft and chestnut brown. His eyes were black and shinny, his nose was black and moist, and he looked exactly like a teddy bear! I have not been able to stop thinking about him...
IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TOY POODLE ADDICTION?!
