4 Humans 8 Dogs

Last Sunday...

Woke up seeing Viv's whatsapp saying: "The rain finally stopped." It had been raining for more than 12 hours consecutively.

I look out of the window while still nua-ing on my bed and thought to myself: "Heng ah, now I can go to shelter in peace *Insert happy face* "

My new pack walk tee :)

VA's attendance recently was quite bad...

Most of us are preoccupied with our personal commitments at this moment. Maybe its because its the start of the year and that CNY is nearing.

Time to get back on track people!! I miss u guys!!

This is one of the smallest pack walk we had for a long long time.

Minghui, Weijie, Vivien and Tricia went to Mutts and Mitten event to bring the dogs to the beach. Viv finally get to walk her favourite Bear Bear :)

So only got me, Yonglin, Chang Ming and Joei left to walk the ericsson's dogs..

I feel very sad in the morning. Because with only 4 humans, we have about 10-11 dogs waiting for us to bring them out. Taking into consideration that Saturday's packwalk was cancelled due to the heavy rain, if they didnt get to go out this time, they will have to wait for another week :(

We've got not enough hands and equipments ahhh!!!The four of us took quite awhile to settle the dogs because they keep running out of the kennel.. Jack, puopi and Jingle... tsk. surprising right, is these 3 instead of the 2 terrorists. Because both terrorists kena locked up hahhahaa. Even fat jack gian to go out, he ran to the gate and happily parked himself over there.

It was very the chaotic ahhh.. End up we tried to bring as many of them out as possible, one person to two dogs, and because the 2 terrorists is too difficult to handle at one go, we have no choice but to leave them behind. I swear my heart sank to the ground when I hear Nicole whine, and Joy gave us that sibeh sian face........

And so we went ahead with our small packwalk, was rather stress because some of the dogs that we bring out are from different pack, need to do co-ordination one leh. For me its easy because Im taking the fat siblings, confirm no problem.

Joei took Puopi and Jingle, luckily both of the same size, but I very scared Joei will fly if the both of them run at the same time :X

Yonglin had a weird combi also - Sasha and Jack. Really tak match. But because Jack dont have 狗缘 (popular among humans but unpopular among dogs), he had no choice but to partner whoever that can accept him.

Chang Ming/Meng one lagi worst - Peanut and baby, pulled him like siao. 

Our initial plan was to meet the others (Minghui they all) at the beach, but it seems quite far and risky to bring the dogs to beach as we had to pass by the slope with alot of heavy vehicles and we might not be able to handle the dogs then, so we switch to HDB :)

Both fat siblings were quite well behaved except for the part when we were walking out of the main road, they just refused to walk on the grass leh! After awhile my cute bf was walking nicely beside me ;D

I was super worried about the rest if they could cope or not. The bangalas looked at us like some chinggay parade when we passed by..

Over at the HDB, we at the fitness corner instead of the usual shelter. 

My partners of the day

 Tui looks like a pet dog right!!

Peanut, so long alr u still stress ah!?

 

Baby~~ Looking tired..

Time for some workouts and obstacle training!!  We ran around and jumped over the "obstacles", my fat team was great!!! 肥肥但很有弹性，体力超强的 ～。～

Fat jack as usual 跳不过.. Jingle is slowly opening up ^^

 & Sasha hates it when fat jack's mouth is above/near her head (guess why??)

We took turns to run round the neighbourhood before it started drizzling..

Orh lulu eh~

The rubber/lead "lak sek", we ended upwith blue butts and stains all over..

 

DOooooo our pledge tgt

A few residents stopped by and look at us, some even came forward to pat our dogs :)

While walking back, we saw Vivien and Tricia at the opposite direction of the route, and to my surprise, they were walking Nicole and Joy!! 

Joei was still thinking of bringing them out for a short walk after the pack walk.

LOVE RIGHTTTTTTTT!!! This is VA! My morning sadness all gone liao, at least no one getys left behind :) Thank u Viv & Tricia for the extra effort <3

VA's first lesson conducted by me tml *SHYYYYYY*
Ok, tml dun laugh at me.

Good night!

Clicker training and dont piss us off

Its a rainy saturday.. supposed to go shelter for pack walk but we woke up to a heavy downpour..
heard that ericsson pathway was flooded.
waited till 9am but the rain doesnt seems to be stoppingnor getting smaller and so packwalk was cancelled :(
Poor doggies... we really wanted to bring you out, but all the humans are taking turns to fall sick :(

I hope everyone get well soon, and have a healthy year ahead..

Last Last Saturday..

Tui refused to get up even when i drag him on his leash.
And there he gave his funny looking face.

Yenyen looking demure and class

Hugging the lazy pig

Tiny Joei and Tiny Puopi

We had clicker training with fred at one of the HDB area. Peanut was my partner for the day. Prepared a whole bag of diced hot dog for her.

Peanut was much more nicer to walk as compared to last time. Perhaps because we know what we want to achieve now. And with the guidance from fred and shirley, i managed to stay on track and shirley helped to correct me on points that i didnt realise. We took turns to go up and role play as dog and handler, super funny..We get to do all the stunts that the dogs do to us during pack walk, tugging, jumping, sitting down, shutting down, run here and there and poucing on handler... 

Haha. I ran alot throughout the journey (as reward for peanut as she doesnt take food while walking). I managed to survived the whole session without water as we only had our treat pouch and leash with us, not even handphone ! Almost K.o-ed when i reach shelter.

On sunday was supposingly puopi's last day with us.

Jack and Tonic on a chilling morning

Tonic

Jack looks abit like vampire here i dunno why.

The two terrorists playing.
Yea, this is how our dogs play... very rough right!

Puopi at the bus stop 1

Him looking cute and innocent with a chipped off tongue :X

Peanut look as if she is dying soon

We walked to pasir ris beach.


Me and NFL :)


At the beach's shelter:

Tui tried to seduce Minghui into giving him her treats...
His puppy eye doesnt work, electric current not strong enough and so he.. ahem...




One hand on her lap...


and got ignored...



He thinking why his seduction doesnt work... while Joy did nth much and get so much treats from minghui...



And then he tried putting another paw on her lap.
Well, still fail.
You should have tried that on me lar!! I give u the whole packet ok!!
Ur charm doesnt work on Mh.
her taste weird weird one HAHAHAHHA


Slacked at the shelter as usual and nicole barked at one of indian woman standing at the side, as taught we should bring the dog nearer to the person to see what causes it to bark- was it out of fear or was it because she wants to play (Because when they bark doesnt mean they aggressive).

U see, she can also be an Indian dog. With beautiful eyeliner

Pretty terrorist

As weijie brought her nearer, the woman walked away, and a malay guy abt 20 + made a comment in a stern voice saying: "u better .... dunno wad the dog."

Everyone missed out the middle word. Den he kept walking to and fro and stare at us like he wants to challenge us.

We do understand that not everyone can accept animals or big dogs in public but well, your action and face just pissed 10 of us off hahaha. He walked in the opposite direction shortly after his gf (i assume) came. And.....

One by one we took our dogs and followed him for a good 100 metres i think? I took yenyen and tui. Havent walk the both of them tgt for ages. No harm. We just want to show them that mongrels are not as scary and dangerous as they seem so, dun judge and give us the stare, cause we never owe you nor hurt you nor cause any nuisance to you or the public.

They stopped and "rest" at the toilet area while we walked past them and hang around the area for a good 5-10 mins. And they continue to stay in the outside area of the toilet and look at us.

Wonder will we be stomped. =X

The weather was seriously killing all of us. 

All of us were practising loose leash training. Tried on my bf this time. Awwww he is such a sweet heart.

When he pulls, i stop, he turns back and look at me and walk back nicely to my side.

One thing that we were taught: dont just focus on correcting the dogs, u need to praise them when they are doing right by saying yes! Goodddd~. Its just like managing ur employees to subordinate, people focus too much on mistakes and forget to reward and appreciate the correct things that others have done.

We need to really need to put more attention to this.

On the way back to shelter, tui was walking super nicely beside me on my left. And so i tried using the kiapkiap and kiap him to my bag and i walk.

Me and my lovely Tui

Bf PMS-ing :(( 
Eh dun anyhow learn and say i also do it hor. I have ample trust on the dog im handling and my eyes did not leave him throughout the walk. I still have co trol over the leash thou. Just wanna see if he can follow me without me holding on to the leash. When he smell the grass, i jus need to either wait for him or tug myself slightly in the opposite direction and he will go back to the original position without me calling him.

Gave him tons of praises and hugs :))

Super relunctant face to bath

After this session i became 2 shades darker @.@

Mh wanted to walk out to the main road alone but we stopped by and force her to squeeze into the car. Someone in the car say "one for all and all for one".

VA team spirit, i like.


Our belated VA xmas group pic
