THE HOSE....

BARN2:
Clare LOVES water. She kinda reminds me of myself when I was younger. But I think she is really over the top with her likes and dislikes.... See what she is doing with the water hose....?

The ULTIMATE KORGI KONVERTER

BARN2:

This fuzzy rear end belongs to my sister Clare....


Mummy said that Clare did her first two lots of poo in the garden...and then when the last lot wouldnt leave her rear end, Clare ran into the house and up the stairs. Whatever was at that back end followed her. She sped down the stairs.
One piece dropped.
Then came this long whatever....trailing behind her......
................
She kept trying to pull at it (and Barn2 tried to help too) but could not reach it.
It got longer and longer.....and it wouldnt leave her....
Mummy took a piece of plastic and pulled.
It came out.
Yuk. As you can see- it was kinda long......
Was it some vegetable she ate?
Was it corgi fur?
Was it the string from the bolster case?
Nope.
That idiotic sister of mine was chewing a brand new toy last night.
Enuff said.

Here's more about my sis.

Photos below - taken by Ode's ma on Wednesday this week....(12/8/08)@ Pawsitive Sensations:



It was fortunate that she could not take Benny's toy home.

This was what happened to our doggy pillow....

Sigh.

HERO AGAIN...Marky caught a rat!

BARN2:

Ko Ko Marky is our Honoured Guest Blogger today.
Something happened last night and Mummy declared him a hero (again!). (Hmmm....why is it that we corgis are not usually the ones doing heroic acts??)

MARKY:
It was a dark and stormy night. (Not joking).
It rained and it rained and it rained.
I was miserable throughout the day ( I hate rain and thunder). Was hiding in Aunty Lu's room until she retired to bed.
Then I was in my own bed...trying to sleep.

Suddenly, I sensed a movement. Something big entered the old cooker next to my bed quarters....
It smelt funny.

I barked and I barked and I barked.
Mummy came to see what the ruckus was all about.
She saw me barking at the cooker.


She opened the door of the cylinder chamber. Nothing.
She opened the door of the oven. Nothing.
I wasnt letting up.
Its still there.

She opened the door of the oven again.
It was then that that creature dashed out....

(Mummy: It was probably a Norway rat, one of the most familiar sewer rat types in Singapore. Photo from internet below. It was the biggest sized one I have ever seen! A good six inches. The rain must have forced it to leave its usual hiding place and it entered our open kitchen)


MARKY: I ran after it. It jumped into the shallow drain. It didnt get too far.
I was a street dog when I was a pup. A stray. I used to forage for food in the lallang infested areas of Loyang. Had to be a good hunter to survive.
The rat didnt have a fighting chance.


Yes, he squealed. I could hear Mummy yelling for me not to kill it.
What did she want me to do with it?
Keep it as a pet?

Mummy has been known to release captured shrews at the grasslands of old Tampines Road and MacRitchie Reservoir. If the shrews-"chnee chu" in Hokkien- didnt smell that bad, she might have kept them as pets!

But it was all over in a few seconds. I did my job as a watchdog. Aunty Lu came and removed the dead rat while Mummy held on to my collar. (Mummy: Marky was so excited that he would not let Aunty Lu remove the dead rat. There was no blood. Probably internal injury.)

After a while, Aunty Lu and Mummy made a big fuss of me. Said I was a hero, a good watchdog....etc. Gave me some doggy treats as well. Hmmm....

Last week I was a Blood Donor (B.D).
Now I am a Rat Catcher (R.C.).
MARKY ERN-JIE, B.D. R.C.
Wow.

BARN2 THE CORGI LUGGAGE AND DEXTER THE RELUCTANT SWIMMER

Clare: Have you seen the new Corgi Luggage?
Hee hee...That's my Ko Ko Barn2 being carried into the pool.
Cool, huh!?


He doesnt look too excited in there....maybe because its a rainy day and the water's a bit cold.





As you can see, Ko Ko Barn2 wasnt too keen about swimming.
Ko Ko Dexter was asked to swim.....
(well, he wasnt exactly given a choice....hee hee)





















Barn2 Ko Ko decided that he didnt like the water THAT much to stay in it THAT long....
But we did have a good time.....
