Mutts and Me Short Stories

Emo Momo finally stepped out of her hermit shell :)

 

One year ago, she was an untouchable dog, because she tried snapping at anyone who attempts to pat or touch her. Tested and proven one.

She will always lie in one corner and give this face:

 

lifeless, sian, stoned, emo, depressed whatever you call it

 

She's always the forgotten one, too quiet until we forget her existence in the shelter...

And also because we don't really dare to get near her.. The only person than who can leash and walk her was her rescuer, and I wonder how did she managed to put on the collar for this scary dog..

I think its also because of her skin colour that makes her look less adorable la.. This one cant be helped.

 

Well, after almost one full year at the shelter with her, with new and old vollies coming in and out, Momo learnt to accept our presence around her.. Slowly, she learnt to come to us for food, sniffing us and allowing us to pat on her head AT TIMES..

 

She took a greater change in the past few weeks by greeting us and running around when we are feeding treats, smiling and even standing up to beg for food! Power of food motivation uh.

 

On this particular session, we decided to bring her out to pet movers with the rest.

 

Vivien took up the role !! WHOO HOOO !! 

 

 

Ok a random morning photos at the shelter~

*See momo behind*

 

 

 

 

At the dog park:

 

Showing her happy face :)

 

See she can even kiss Viv now ~

 

 

 

Her head can even Kiap in between us ~.~

Eh but again hor, don't anyhow try it on your own, you've gotta see her mood first, if she is in pain or what and u try to hug or kiss her, you die not my problem.

 

 

 We enclosed her in the smaller compound because we are not sure if she could get along with the other dogs outside.. Safer for her..

 

LOL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me and my bfs

 

Weijie with his gf

And on another day, I had my first solo walk with Tui as I had to leave earlier than the rest..

 

Brought him to HDB for our date :)

 

Boyfriend acting tough uh..

"Don't mess with my girl"

 

 

The next moment, his..... ahem...is out

 

 

Put him on mikki leash and he follows me wherever I go, the feeling was awesome:D

 

chilling at the fitness corner for some water break and treats

 

Conveniently resting his paws on my wugui shoes

Tui: Cannot tahan alr, I need a rest.. sibeh chuan..

 

And this boy just lie there obediently

 

 

Life's good with him beside me ^^

 

Where you have no worries

 

 

 Brought him for a few rounds of run before I ended my short date with him. Quality time spent :)

2 of the Zeus Comm dogs - Batman and Robin joined us for the packwalk to punggol !

 

I took Robin and Minghui took Batman..

Two sweet young chaps

My hand almost got torn off just by walking from the kennel to the carpark as Robin was flipping and running and turning around, up and down @.@ which was what Minghui had pre-warned me about LOL.

 

But once we stepped out of the shelter, he was rather easy to handle..

Guess its the stress coming from both sides of the other kennel dogs that makes them so cranky..

 

This one is Robin..

 

This is Batman

 

Robin is super sticky to Minghui, tsk like a mother

 

Momo came out too! And she was enjoying herself by rolling on the floor. Caught us by surprise :)

 

A happy Momo

 

Fatty lying my me until falling asleep

 

 

Marvin took up the challenge to bath Momo, sadly no pictures to zuo ji nian. But well, good job Marvin!

I forgot where we went for packwalk already..

Only remembered us going to find Yenyen at the adoption drive someone near Katong.

 

Little Price Cameron with Yenyen.

Shes totally sweet with Cam, gave camcam many slurps of kisses when she sees him..

 

 

One of the interested viewers..

Yenyen stayed there for a good 2-3 hours and was dying to go out..

 

Hopefully someone will look pass her weight, see her beauty and adopt her..

Shes really generally nice and easy to take care, doesn't really bark, don't really move around, u just need to give her a corner or some where for her to stare into space can liao..

 

 

Certified Part time Nanny, you can reach me at muttsandme@gmail.com should you need someone to look after your baby, or dog ;)

 

Had our super late lunch at a near by foodstall, look at our feast!

 

 

 

After that it rained super heavily and while waiting at the bus stop, a car sped past and got me all drenched from head to toe. Thanks a lot sia!

 

Ok.. enough for today...

 

My hands very suan from all the typing liao.

Our Shelter Dogs: The Forgotten Ones

Often than not, these few mutts here are prone to be forgotten by us as they are way toooooo quiet and shy.

Nevertheless, they played a significant role in our shelter lives.

Meet JINGLE the shy girl and MOMO the emo dog

JINGLE



- A Small to medium size brown mongrel
- Floppy ears and small body frame
- Loves to jump on you together with the naughty ones when you just entered the kennel but once you start noticing her and walk towards her, she will run away to hide and will stay inside forever (so kiampa)
- Have not gone out for packwalk before due to her nature. Hopefully once she has gone through rehab, she can come out of her turtle shell and enjoy the grass, breeze and sea with us
- Through the months, she did change for the better and now she will come to you for food and allow you to pat her at times. Better than nothing right

Too bad lah jingle, no one in the shelter has your photos, so you only got 2 photos of you taken by me. This shows that you are really forgotten by the rest. Fret not, I promise to take more pictures of you okie..

**Edited**

 Always weary of people

MOMO


- Ok, i think her name really suits her Emo character
- A mixture of dark colored patches and floppy ears
- Always had a bright yellow collar round her neck, contrasting from her dark coloured fur
- She may not be the best looking dog in the kennels, or some might deemed her to be ugly. Well, I cant deny that fact Lol.
 Look at her compared to the others
- Momo always has that worried and sorrowful expression on her face. dont know what is she thinking or she is born with that face :/
- You can take pictures of her on 10 different session and it still ends up like, that:

- Reacts to her name but will choose to ignore you after that
- Snappy. Ya, emo momo isnt very friendly. If you try to touch her, she snaps. Only her rescuer and her little son is able to hug it.
- Fought with Tui on the first try out session. Tui bled, thus a scar on his nose now, as a human, the first conclusion will be 'poor tui, why momo so fierce...' Sorry lor, momo suffered more wounds than Tui >.<
- I tried hand feeding it treats and it will come forward. The only time she had a slight smile on her face :/
All in all, if you give her personal space she will not do anything to you lah. Thats why we tend to forget her existence at times.

Okay, Now for the special guest of this post:

TWINKLE!!



- Black medium size mutt with shiny coat and Floppy ears
- Super duper high energy, i think she is energizer operated
- One of the smartest in the pack
- Learnt how to sit in one/ two sessions thanks to the treats
- Extremely food motivated and will follow you every where you go, when you have food, of course.

- very jumpy, JUMPY AND JUMPY.
- she was one of the luckiest to get adopted by the 3rd or 4th session. Hmmm, should be enjoying her snooze in a cosy bed now

We still have more furry friends waiting to be blogged about! So check back more frequently okie?

Byeee!
