ehhh..next time can go BU park gathering then can see how u n Messi train lo...

Yeah..we have quite a number of poodle parents in cheras area..and yes, we dun hv sth like DPC. But we can gather at makan places..

Hmmm..how to say leh...there wont be any sign that says Pets Allowed in any restaurants unless stated otherwise. So we will go to mostly chinese kopitiam.

Actually, me n my fren plan to go for Dimsum after DPC this sat..hehehhe...

JY14? izzit near Leisure Mall?

OMG...QQ Pet belongs to Cylos? ive always wanted to go there but no chance yet...that means horrrr..he oso has a stall on Wednesday pasar mlm..with a partner.

oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...u dun place me on top of the table ah...

cheras groomers not up to my expectations...i only go to Doggie Doggie when i hv absolutely no choice..u know la..Gary is so far away.

Hmmm...i think it's up to u. If u can accept the grooming style, then anywhere is oso fine. Eg: i hv a fren who complained abt Asean Puppy BUT i hv also seen nice cuttings from there. U hv to stand there n observe who cuts it n the way the doggie is handled (brushed, blew-dry, positioning). Then the next time u decide to try, ask for that particular groomer. Like in Doggie Doggie, the groomer with short hair is much better than the long hair one.

And stay away from groomers who ASK u to shave ur poodle bald the FIRST time u visit. To bald or not, it's ur decision after weighing the pros n cons. Dun bull-shit me with the excuse that it can make fur thicker etc.

Hmmm..i think u need to experience it to understand wat i mean. Results vary from poodle to poodle and i'm more concerned of the negative effects.

Let me take my 6 poodles as examples.

1. Milo(apricot) - both times botak due to stupid unprofessional groomers. One is home-based (puppy time)& another is a famous academy (2 yrs old). Both times w/o my consent. When i arrived for pick up, they surprised me. Puppy botak time din hv any effects on coat BUT adult time, darker & coarser hair grew on the back of this body. It's like human grey hair on black.

2. Jasmine (white) - super fine & soft cottony hair. I deliberately botak her so i can get some thicker more rough effect. In the end, nothing happened.

3. Blossom (red) - botak once during puppyhood coz i cudnt stand the smell of puppymill on her. She's sooooo smelly n no matter how many times i bathe her, still got those smell. Nothing special happened as a result of this. Only when she grew older, WHITE hair began to appear. So if u say bald them when they r older, i;m afraid it;s gonna be worst esp o red poodles. I have frens whose red poodles turned 'old' with lotsa white hair all over body after shaving.

4. Coco (dark choc), Angel (black) - NO shaving done BUT fur got much thicker after a substantial period of consuming Artemis kibbles. But i oso believe due to their natural colour which has more fur as compared to other colours.

5. Debby (grey) - not much from birth to 5 mths but more now at 7.5 mths. Also no shaving done.

There r many ways to improve coat texture. R u ready for some white or darker hair on ur poodle? Till now, even when i use shampoo n kibble n supplement which i deemed the best, i still cannot recover milo;s n blossom;s fur.

A professional groomer will tell u, that shaving bald can give thicker coat is actually an ILLUSION. When new fur grows, it;s shorter n therefore it curls up. U dun hv to shave till skin. Just leave 1cm will do. Regular trimmings can give u the same effect.

i mean on Dorian next time la...

HUman hair shave dy wont fade in colour but poodles can.

Gary will be away for Ipoh mka show...so Summer cant go for hers oso.

I used my voucher dy...

not sure abt bday month...but can suggest to them hor...

on ya...Gary n his last min emergencies...LOL

shud be back next week...

how old is ur poodle now? fading too fast? is the inner coat (closest to skin) red or apricot? it's unlikely it will turn from red to such a light shade as cream.

n wat food/kibbles is she on?

dun make it a habit to let her bite. Let her settle down b4 givign her food or treats. No 'hand' no food. Usually for basic commands like sit, down, hand, i only used 1 meal to teach them. I hand fed them kibble by kibble. U hv to be more patient lo as their memory isnt very good yet.

like in china?

ehhh plssssss laaaa...dont call me si fu...i very malu wannnnnnnnnnn...

okay..c u guys tmw at 9am..hopefully i can wake up n no rain.

Shy shy Max

DOggie Doggie swears on the concept of being BALD. The 1st thing when they saw my grey poodle is 'owners shud brave their hearts n bald their kids for thicker fur in the future'. And it was 2 weeks b4 CNY.

come come..let me talk some nonsense here....entertain u a bit...

u din check Dorian thoroughly there? fungus is contagious...can pass to us too...esp during the 'time' of the mth when our female immune system is at its lowest.

so wat medication is dorian on now?

if ur skin is sensitive, u will feel itchy wan wo..

esp if u kena the dandruff flakes

Surolan...i cant find mine now..cant rber the look..but i thot it;s for the ears? no?
