Oh no! Is she going to wayang?

This morning (16th August 09) Cookies vomited while we were getting ready to go to church. I was preparing her toys and some treats for her. Decided not to give her the usual treat, dental bone. Just a few pieces of biscuits for her.

As usual my hubby gave Cookies her toys and her treats before we went out. After a few seconds she looked at the stuff, she run towards the door while I was opening the metal gate. I quickly closed the gate. In my heart, what was she up to? Oh no, was she going to stage her wayang act since a long time she had not done that.

I went to the kitchen straight, opened the packet of dental bone took out one and passed to hubby to give it to her. That settle her down. She happily took that, we went out. It ended peacefully.

Outing at Botanical Garden (second time) - 10th August 09




This was the second time Cookies went to Botanical Garden. That morning was not a nice walk as it was drizzling. After a short walk, we went to a cafe and have our lunch. We waited for quite some time before we found a seat as that was the only eating place that allow pet.

Punishment





Cookies had a great dinner. What happened to her the next morning. Take a look at these pictures.

She had taken seven chicken wings

No Dinner For Hubby

Cookies had a great dinner. This happened a few months back. 
I left a plate of deep fried chicken wings and some potatoes on the dining table. Those food was for my hubby dinner. What shocked me was just a short 10 -15mins shower, Cookies ate all the food Nothing were left on the plate.

I could not believe, I looked every where but could not even find the bones of the chicken. That really shocked me. She ate up all the bones. 

Guess how many pieces of chicken wings she ate?

Cookies at the west coast dog run park



Some pictures of cookies at the dog run.

The Lost Day

One of the Saturday as usual, after showering Cookies I took her orange bed to wash. Oops, I dropped the bed. It dropped down to the neighbour's kitchen window ledge. I tried many attempts to pick it back but failed.

In my mind, the only thing was Oh No she will get angry with me. Went down to the neighbour unit no one answer the door bell. Left a note for them to call us when they are back.

At the mean time, hubby and I went off to look for a new bed for her.  We managed to find one.

Did we get back the bed?
With god grace, we did manage to get back. At the same time, we got to know another neighbour.

How does Cookies look like?

Let me disclose how Cookies look like?
First fews weeks us



To our HORROR!





What so horrible about her? I mention that she is a lovely dog.
Wow, she was different when we brought her home this time round as a first time pet owner.
One of the night she slept on the sofa which she is not suppose to do so. We told her off, but she refused to obey. We took a cane and action that we would cane her, which we did not. Just to scare her.

She did a lot of horrible stuffs. Destroy our house stuffs. Scratch our main doors.
Everyday is a stress getting out and coming home. Every night for the first two weeks, when I reached home, the moment I opened the door she ran out of the house. I need to spend an hour to coax and catch her back.

I also roped in my mum to help me out to go up to our place in the morning to look after her.
The whole episodes of playing catching lasted for two weeks. She is really a Cookies Monster during those two weeks.

Finally, we decided to get a dog trainer in. We found Kenny from Puppy Love. He was very patient with us and we learned a lot from him. Great that he respond to our desperate call for help that quick. Now Cookies is really a lovely dog to be with.

Naming Our Dog

Our friend who foster the dog, named her Cookie.
When we got our dog, my hubby add a 's' behind her existing name , Cookies.
Sometimes, we have some problem in our conservation, for example when we want to ask each other do you want to have some Cookies and Cream ice-cream. When she heard Cookies this word she respond. There goes the problem. We tried to skip the words Cookies or use other words to replace.

Breed of our dog

We do not know what breed the dog is. It is a cross breed. It looks a little like a gaint version of JRT, fox terrier and many more. Not sure what breed it is classified as.

Never the less, it is a lovely dog. Some intro about our dog

Breed - like what I had mention, cross breed
Colour - Black / Brown / White
Looks - Medium built, sharp pointed ear, long legs, patches of black brown on the body
Gender - Female

How we got our dog

It had been sometimes that hubby wanted a dog. Finally we got a dog. We adopted a dog The dog was starved before it was rescued by a kind soul. $5 was what the kind soul paid to the abusive owner to buy over the dog. It was saved.
The dog was brought to a foster house before adoption. That was our friend's place. The first time we saw the dog, me not that interested in her. Her face colour and her body colour was totally two different shade. She was bony, shy and afraid. That night we took the dog back for a trial to see if we can cope and have some bonding with the dog.With our friend help, we took the dog back. Our friend help us to orientate the dog to our place and done the house breaking for us. The "Do and Don't". That night we kept ourselves busy. Not knowing whether the dog was comfortable with us, staying at our place.We kept waking up in the night to check on the dog. That really made us busy.
The next day we brought back the dog to our friend place as there was another family wanted the dog. They also took the dog back home for a trial. Before we adopted the dog, long story about who would have the dog. We got the dog.The actual date, I could not remember. The dog was with us almost 2years.

Our first dog

This bog is started to jot memory lane with our dog. Cookies.
