The Happiest and Saddest Month

It's been so long since the last post and I know the post was about Tinker and Tiffany becoming good pals. Unfortunately, things have not been what it seems.

Last month was the happiest moment for me and my family. I gave birth to the most gorgeous baby boy.


Here he is at 1 month old.

Things have been hectic since his arrival and the days just pass real fast. But seeing his beautiful face daily is just amazing how God has blessed me with this joy to look after.

The 2nd week after baby's arrival, hubby and I were at home on a Sunday. Hubby happened to be downstairs working on his laptop. All of a sudden, I heard something terrible. Tinkerbell was attacking Tiffany. And thank goodness Hubby had separated them but got bitten again by Tinkerbell when he tried to discipline her. I came downstairs to see and Hubby turned around to see Tiffany's eye had popped out! I saw her eye from afar and became frantic! Called my parents immediately. My poor Tiffany's eye!! She was already half blind with her cataract problem.

Hubby and maid rushed her to the vet and my parents met them there and the vet immediately operated on her to put her eye back. The next day my mum brought her back home and we saw how terrible she looked. My mum had trouble giving her the medicine as she would spit it back out and as the days went by she showed no signs of appetite. 3 days later she was back at the hospital to be put on drip as she refused to eat.

We took her back again and AGAIN had trouble feeding her and the medicine. So she was back at the hospital again. This time the Vet kept her to get her back into shape and because her eye was getting swollen, he had to operate on her again to take the eye out. So 3 weeks after the attack, she is back home.

We have not moved any furniture and she is finding her way around the house by banging her head everywhere. We have to call out to her so that she will know where we are. But all is well and she is back to her normal self. Barking out for food as usual. Tinker has not been of help. Growled at Tiffany when she accidentally bumped into her. The vet did suggest grinding Tinker's teeth so that this would not happen again.

This is the 3rd time Tinker has attacked Tiffany. The 2nd time, it landed Tiffany in the hospital as her cheek was wounded. This 3rd time has been the worst attack. Tinker has been a jealous dog all along. This time it might have been Tiffany didn't know Tinker was in the dog bed and went into the same bed when Tinker was in it. Tinker was guilty when it all happened but it seems that she has forgotten what she has done when Tiffany came back home.

After this terrible attack, I did not know whether to show love to Tinkerbell at all. Tiffany almost did not survive the attack and we thought we were gonna lose her.


This picture was the last of the photos I took while I was upstairs looking after my babe. She looked so happy roaming outside despite not being able to see well.


Looking cute.

Photos of her ordeal. Beware... it may not be pleasant.

Photo of her eye sewn back into her eye socket.


Photo of her eye taken out. We went to visit her before she was discharge few days later. I saw this and felt terrible for her. She was her usual active self and wanted to eat her favourite food. We brought chicken and bak kwa and she ate it all up! My mum under estimated the amount of food to bring.

Now she is back home with us and slowly recovering. Please pray for her speedy recovery.

Just simple things we do around the house

Lately, these 2 have become good friends. Not sure why but Tiffany has also ventured outside and not stayed in the house so often. Her cataract seems to have improved and she can see better with one eye.


We walk together and hang out at night.


Nothing like just having each other's company.


Tinker has this funny habit. She walks under the table cloth around the table everyday.


She seems to like getting tickled by the table cloth.


She walks 1 round around the table each time!


Tiffany taking over Tinkerbell's bed. Does that mean I have to get another bed for Tinker? Tiffany seems to like the king size bed!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!



Rubie always 1st in line when the food is out.


Tiffany a little overwhelmed by the guests.


Tinkerbell wearing her way too small t-shirt.


Meet Wendy! The cutest Chihuahua I've seen. It made my day. I wasn't so happy about visiting until I saw Wendy:D Awwwwww...


The Chihuahuas


Bobbi, he wasn't so happy that day and chased those people whom he knew were scared of dogs.

RANDOM JANUARY



Rubie enjoying a nap on the pillow I was about to throw out. After that all the dogs took turns to use it.


Tiffany sun tanning


Not very happy. I think she was being scolded for barking.


Hi there


A folded paw?


Meeting rabbits for the 1st time. Can you see how excited she was or does she look like she want to eat them?

Random August



Hey look I've got a new toy!


Checking out new ways to play.






Tinker sleeps in this position quite often. I don't know how comfortable this is but her head is twisted.


Spending time outdoors with Rubie.


Tiffany just enjoying the cool evening.


Feeling happy.


Tinkerbell can't stop smiling.


I was busy watching tv and the next thing I saw was Tinkerbell holding her rabbit.

On a side note, Tiffany has shown signs of going blind. Does anyone know of any vets that can help her eyesight? In the past few days, she's been walking into walls and chair legs. Poor Tiffany.

How we spend our afternoons


Rubie is usually fast asleep...snoring away.


Tiffany will usually hang out with me and to make sure she spends as much time with me whenever I'm over at my parents'. She misses me too much.


Tinkerbell will change her position into a guard dog and sits outside. Never sound asleep.


Sometimes right in front of the gate.


"Hey, what are you looking at?"


"Don't take my picture!"

Murderer

Two days ago, Rubie and Tinkerbell were suddenly running around the sofa. We thought that they were catching flies. Being the hunter dogs that they are, they continued to run around. Soon, Tinkerbell ran out to the garden with something brown in her mouth!

I looked out of the window and a bird was on the grass! It looked like it was already dead. Tinkerbell picked it up again and I screamed at her and she dropped it back onto the grass. Then picked it up again and I screamed again. Later our domestic helper came and picked up the bird and it was dead already.

Meanwhile, Rubie was still sniffing around looking for the bird in the house!!! Blur. And Tiffany was just standing around wondering what all the commotion was all about... blurrer!

We have no idea if the bird was alive in the 1st place and how did it get into the house?! Did Tinkerbell bring it in?

I hate to think that Tinkerbell's the murderer. Sorry no pics as everything just happened too fast. She got a scolding anyway.

I'm Three!

Tinkerbell's 3 this month.


"I can't wait to eat it!" She was surprised to see the cake when I called her to come to the table and immediately checked out the cake.


"I can't reach it..."


"How long do I have to wait?"


"What's happening? I'm too short to see anything."


Up the sofa they went for picture taking! That's Tinkerbell's present.


The forever greedy Rubie had to check it out.


Tinkerbell: "I can't look! Will she eat my cake?"


Tinkerbell:"Phew she hasn't got to my cake."


One more sniff...before we get to eat it.


Tinkerbell eating her share of the cake.


Rubie polished hers in one gulp.


Tiffany looking disappointed 'cos Rubie ate 3/4 of her cake. Rubie was too fast and snatched it off her plate.


"I'm satisfied."


Tiffany watching Tinkerbell eat the left over crumbs.


My new toy!


Enjoying life.


"Next time please get me a bigger cake!"
