Packet Puzzler

We recently bought some books on Dog Tricks & testing a Dog's IQ..

Being 1st time Dog owners, we ought to learn abit more from useful books & other pet owners.

We lucky pick on one game for Foxie..

All we need for this game is just a paper bag & some of Foxie's favourite Chicken Treats.

We were supposed to put the Chicken Treat in the paper bag and fold it twice to enclose the food. Then, put the packet down infront of Foxie & watch how he sets about getting his treat.

At first, Foxie was curious what was inside the goodies bag as it smells yummy...

He tried to chew off the bag to get his Treat..

After figuring out for sometime, he finally found the opening of the paperbag!!

He was extremely excited & crawled into the paper bag to retrieve his reward..

Conclusion of this Game.. Foxie is one smart Pup!

And he surely enjoy playing.. we will try more games soon!

Dinning at Sofia Restaurant

It's weekend again!! Weekend = Catching up, chilling out friends & tucking in Delicious meals..

We were at Sofia, The home of home made Pasta & Pizza!!

Look at the Pizza-making Machine & the stacks of Pizza!!

That's our entree ( Garlic Bread- which looks like a Giant Cheesy Pizza )

We also had a mountain of Calamari
Then came one of our main Courses: Sofia Special Pasta (with lots of Seafood)

2nd main course: Vegetarian Pizza

It's all very value for Money & Delicious as well!! That's what we call Cheap & Good!!

It was all Good.. we ate to our max but still unable to finish all the Yummy Food..

Well, there's no wastage! We asked for Take away boxes!!

That will be our Breakfast & lunch for the next day!!!

We end the winter night with a warm warm cup of Thick Hot Chocolate..

Do Dogs Dream?

Does Foxie Dream?

While Foxie is sleeping, he sometimes whimpers, growls, twitches & wags his little tail & licks his lips..

Dogs are similar to humans with regards to their sleep patterns and their brain wave activity.

As they first fall asleep dogs are in a 'lighter' sleep mode where their breathing is very regular and they can be easily awakened.

Once they enter deep sleep they are more difficult to awaken and their brain wave activity is greatly increased.

Like us, once in deep sleep we enter a stage where their breathing becomes more irregular and we have rapid eye movements (REM) where actual dreaming takes place.

Dogs enter and exit this dreaming stage several times per night.

This rapid eye movement stage has this name because behind their closed eyelids, the dog's eyes are moving rapidly back and forth. Presumably, they are watching the images that they are dreaming about. It is during this stage where they may also have involuntarily vocalizations and body movements.

Even if it seems like they are having a bad dream it is best not to wake a sleeping dog. Dogs, like humans, need uninterrupted sleep for healthy mental activity.

So, Do NOT disturb Foxie when you see him sleeping soundly... Hush Hush.

Foxie is a Dreaming Pup..

Research suggests that small dogs dream more than larger dogs. Dream frequency also seems to be related to age where puppies dream more than adult dogs.

What do Dogs Dream about?

They may move their legs as if they are running, may whine or whimper as if excited, and may breath rapidly or hold their breath for short periods. It is likely that dogs dream in a similar fashion to humans, dreaming up canine fantasies and the everyday things that make up their existence like chasing, playing and eating.

YES!! Foxie is Dreaming again!!

Hand-Made dolly for our Little Pup

I set aside some time to create a little dolly for Foxie..

Using simple materials :

2 black buttons

2 red ribbons

Michelle's old bedroom socks

Kevin's old bedroom socks

Some thread & a needle

He simply loves it as dolly is a combination of Our Smell...

Foxie played for hours & hours with Dolly More importantly, Daddy ends up enjoying the toy more than little Foxie..

See how much fun they had!!

Door Art

DESIGNER DOOR

Finally found something for our plain white door that matches

the concept of our humble home ..
The best part is that it is nice & easy to use..
All I need to do is to peel off the backing of the sticker & apply in to the desired location.

Our Bedroom Door before the transformation
Bit by Bit, I placed the self-adhesive design pieces on the door surface.

I reckon it looks GREAT!

Ta Da!! DESIGNER DOOR..


all less than $25 AUD..

Love the design..
HOME SWEET HOME

When Foxie Meet Happy

We Brought Foxie to a home visit!!
We wondered how he would react meeting with another dog.. we thought it was time for him to make more friends.. & seriously hoped he would not be bullied due to his tiny frame.
Let's see what happened when He met Happy ( a 10 yr old Female Silky Terrier ).

Foxie gave Chase.. He couldn't wait to Say "hello"

Happy is a little distressed.. as Foxie is just too friendly.. She jumped up onto the couch as that was her only escape from Foxie the cheeky boy..

Foxie:" Let me Smell your POoPOo..."

Foxie" I wanna use your long fur to floss my teeth too... How nice!"

The running around went on for about 1 hr or so..

Foxie then took Happy's chicken treat as she had then lost her appetite..

He went on to chew on Happy's favourite chew toy bone..

After which, he finally relaxed...

Happy watching Foxie from behind as he was soundly asleep..

Happy:" I think I'll prefer to get near Him when he is asleep..."

Rest well Foxie little boy.. after all the activities..

We will visit Happy again!!

Mommy & Daddy are glad that you are one friendly & sociable Pup ..

Don't think that you are going to be intimidated by other dogs despite your compact size..
