based on what u say, I can assure you that the MS Gang here WILL NOT WANT TO GO TO PETS ICON lor.

Not my Stephy.

Not my Fatty.

Not my Ally.

I'm sure not Scottie.

Not Kenji.

Or Carrie.

Or even Santa.
...and probably many others.

your pariah groomer can go groom pariahs lah... perhaps u can try some other breeds, but our classy Miniature Schnauzers got the dignity and pride to go to PROFESSIONAL groomers only. I'm sorry that I'm saying this, but seriously, dont mean to smear your 'Pets Icon' name (not that it isnt smeared already by yourself...), but I will seek for willing doggies (sorry, I'm not willin to sacrifice my furkids!) and get their testimonial for Pets Icon.

And then... I will post it up on my BLOG outright and then u can shuddup once and for all!

since we're at it:

My shop's called "Pets AKON" in Gurney drive penang. 
I WAS TRAINED BY DESMOND IN NEW YORK. I FLEW THERE MYSELF LAST YEAR AND HAD A 2-HOUR TRAINING.
ACTUALLY I JUST SAT THERE AND WATCHED LAR BUT I WAS TRAINED!!!
DESMOND IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD! BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA! BETTER THAN KL! 

BUT I SPECIALIZE ONLY IN PARIAH DOGS! ALL PURE BREEDS HAVE ALREADY DEFINED STYLING.
ONLY PARIAH DOGS ARE UNKNOWN SO I DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THIS NICHE MARKET!!! 

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GROOM PARIAH DOGS? YOU DON'T KNOW RIGHT? WELL I KNOW!!! COME COME... VISIT ME... I'LL GIVE YOU DISCOUNT!!!
COME OR ELSE YOU ARE STOOPID!!! 

ANYWAYS, we were talking about playing with toys, right? I found an old video of Scottie and Kenji (my sister's Chihuahua) playing tug together:


[/ignore ignore ignore]

Hahaha...thank you, thank you!

Well, Scottie doesn't really chase Kenji away...most of the time when he gets the tug, he will get Kenji to try and grab again from him (by running towards Kenji with the tug... Kind of hard to explain. If I manage to get that on video, I'll post it up again...haha!). But sometimes when Kenji is in a bad mood, he would initiate a fight with Scottie. He would growl at Scottie whenever Scottie goes near...most of the time Scottie stays away, but if they happen to stare at each other long enough (or I'm not fast enough to get either of them distracted) they have a go at each other. So silly right? Small fry like him want to challenge Scottie who's like 2-3 times his size! But I always manage to separate them after a few seconds...put a big pillow between them, problem solved. LOL!

Haha...so cute, Santa playing hide-and-seek! Scottie doesn't like to play running and stuff...after about 2 mins of playing Fetch with the ball in the living room, he will lie down and start panting. hahaha!

other ppl din on9 oso...

Awww, they are SOOO cute! Thanks for sharing them with us, Diana... Are Santa's ears that way since she was little? Too cute! Their faces look similar...which is why in the past, Scottie has been mistaken as a girl a lot. heh!

cheras ar? oic..i stay at setapak, wangsa maju..we stay quite near mah..hee

nicholai...u so bad meh? ask lex walk...

dcom..u oso wangsa maju meh? im at jln genting klang...u ler??

jason...where is dat stadium? and got wat event?

The reason is me I guess.  She's jsut like any normal puppy...one strange thing is that she will not go toilet until I come home....dun know how she holds its for at least 12 hrs!!????  She likes to do it on tiles....and fabric.  Although I tried putting the tray and newspaper nxt to her with her pee stains, she'll refused to do it there.  Once I caught almost poo-ing, shove the tray under her, she stopped, tahan until next morning.  She also do submissive peeing or pee when she gets excited...does that every morning when she sees me and when I come home.

If she's taken out 3x a day, morning, mid noon and evening, well, she wont do it in the hse.  Of course still got  accident.  Last evening took her to the vet, got so excited she peed oredi, but went home still peed again.  Best suited in a home where there are constantly people around her, so she doesn't gets to go crazy excited everytime.  If leave alone for a few hours, she's doesnt get that excitable.

She's qutie hyperactive....will go kinda crazy excited when comes in contact with people...last Sunday took her for a walk after grooming, saw some Mat Sallehs who come say hello and petted her, and she wanted to follow them home...literally running after them.  I would say she's attention-addict.  However, she not demanding, will just sit quietly and look at you with her big big puppy sad eyes until u play with her.  Whines very sadly whenever I go to work!  ALtho tried distracting her with her fav toys and food...doesn't work.  THe minute i'm out of sight....she'll goes...  Hopefully she stops after a while.  Else, I'll get complains from the neighbour.

If you put her in her travelling crate, she will stick her face at the door and look at you...can go on for at least 1.5hrs....before she goes to sleep.  Refused even her most fav - treats!!! 

She'll tongue (aka kiss)  and mouth (aka nibble) you...

Loves to have her belly rubbed, while at the same time trying to "bite" you.

Not really interested in toys...

Loves to chew..  But will lose interest in her chewy toys....so got to rotate them.

Easily trained cos highly motivated by food.  Learned sit, down, roll over, stay...now trying to get her to heel on the left side....not much success...cos she likes to walk on the inside...she scares to walk on the outside.  Now learnign to stay before I allow her to eat.  But still got to work on the length of time.  Sometimes still doesn't understand the words until its repeated a few times.

Currently, having ear infection and pus like infection on her belly.  The pus like infection on her belly, was suspected due to her going to the grass on Sun for puppy obedience class...it just spreads overnite...gave me a heartattack.  Went to the vet last nite, gave her antibiotic and inflammatory jabs...n medicines.  She got no problem hving those medicines mixed in her kibbles.  In fact, she'll eat everything...which is why needs to constantly supervise her.  Found her chewing on dry leaves and grass on Sun.  Oso, she found a pcs of broken ceramic somewhere in my living room, luckily got her in time, gave me another heartattack then!!

Taken for daily morning walk....you must brisk walk, else she'll sniff and eats everything and anything.  She's getting use to the leash...hates it and loves bitting it....

Stephy's baby has left us this morning.

Turns out she was premature - just couldnt survive.

Stephy was frantically searching for her baby this morning - even after we buried the little fella... very poor thing.

Mmm... i guess it was not meant to be.

Nvm... it also means undivided attention for my girls!

I was there from 12pm until about 8.30pm for the obedience trials They started the trials at about 6.30pm (when it was supposed to start at 2pm -___-"). My family was getting very tired and restless, so we left without even me knowing what is Scottie's score...haha! I did ask a friend of mine to help me check, so we'll see how... It was quite crowded when I first got there, and yes, like what Eric mentioned....quite a few owners I see just pretended that they didn't notice that their dogs pooped, and just walked off. I saw a lady with a Shih Tzu who did just that...*sigh* No wonder we don't get to go to many places with our furkids...

Added on July 1, 2009, 12:14 pmHi thedancingsun, just wondering how is kimmy? Any update? Any latest photos of him? Did you managed to find a good owner to take care of Kimmy now? Or you have decided to keep her already?

HI dear all

Kimmy is now currently with my fren and I guess you guys are right, I do miss her.  This is the irony of "I can't live with or without you"?????

I'm still thinking hard if I should or how I can keep her....looking if there are any daycares centres...I don't think Kimmy will do very well on her own for 12 hours a day 5 days a week.  My fren says she cud keep Kimmy but she sure gives me a tongue lashing!!

Here are some of her pics...before and after grooming...I think she looks better before..
