You gotta dog at home?

The picture feature today has absolutely no direct relation to the-land-of-cuteness-and-cuddly-animals-which-you-would-oh-so-like-to-cuddle-with-the-animal. Instead, here's a good idea of what to get when you have a dog someday! Of course, your dog should be at least something like this:


Yep! You wanna protect your house, you gotta have Shakma over here (note: Shakma was the name of a baboon (I think) in a movie self-titled, only catch is that Shakma went berserked and killed off its handlers, men and women alike). Then, you might wanna consider getting one of these:


You wanna piece of me, boy??

Fatness First!

I like fat animals!!!! No, it doesn't have anything to do with fat girls, lolz! Not that I'm being discriminant. Just emphasizing, so that you won't say, "No wonder your ex-girlfriend looks the way she does!!". Seals are one such example. I mean, they can weigh up to a tonne or so (correct me if I'm wrong). Perhaps they go to 'Fatness First'...




"Yo dude, you talking about me??!!"

And so, how do you get fat easily? Eat a lot? I know of some fellows who eat way more than I do, but they never seem to go fat. High metabolic rate? Perhaps, either that or they work out a lot. Then the fat should turn to muscles right?

I guess it's sleeping a lot. Yeah, with the mouth wide open so that all the saliva may flow into an endless stream of gooey fluids! Way to go, fatty!

Contribution from Ms Koo of the land of Oz!

How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?






2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.






3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!







4. Rottweiler: Make me.








5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.







6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!







7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.






8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.







9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!







10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.








11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."







12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?






13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...








14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.





How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?
Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is:
















"How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

Offsprings

Hey, it's me again!

Yes, don't let the furry and harmless look fool you. You'd never know when they strike and lunge at you. I mean, you've seen in the tv programme, When Animals Attack!, haven't you? I was totally shocked when the seemingly harmless bear sitting next to the woman suddenly decided to hurl the woman around like a toy!








Sometimes you watch a documentary on NGC or Discovery Channel, you can't help but wonder when you see one of these, "How the heck did they become so bloody violent when they look so cute?!!". So innocent and playful, you wanna tease it all day long! Then again, see them again a year later and you change your mind about trying to go near it to cuddle or play.

But anyway, just appreciate nature from afar, and I guarantee your opinion about them will stay the same.

Pigs (not of guinea) for a change!


I took this pic last weekend, found it to be very cute! It reminds of the pig in the movie babe, where the pig chai was very guai sitting. Feel like petting it, don't you? This pig is very clean, so you don't have to worry about dirtying your hands in the process, haha!!

Anyways, these days, you can find dolls, soft toys, bags, etc, stuffs that take the image of pigs easily. I'm left wondering why so many fans of pigs appeared in a sudden. I used to think I was the only one cos I was born in the year of the boar (yeah, it sounds much more macho than kinzhir, lol! *grunt* *snort*

The Star of Furry Family

Have anyone of the furry family watches then Disney Movie - Snow Dogs??
Remember the mischievous doggy in the movie??
Yeah.... today, let's me intro some of the info of this Furry Star!!

The Poster of the movie... adapted from: Yahoo! Movies

Some Scene of the movie adapted from Yahoo! Movies

ahaha.... "Aloha!!" summer vacation in Haiwaii

The Pic of the Siberian Husky Puppies

(adapted from: http://www.puppy.com.my/)

These mischievous furry members are none of the Siberian Husky!! ^^

Here are some description of it: (adapted from http://www.puppy.com.my/breed/siberian.html)

Origin: Russia during the 1800Æs. The Siberian Husky was mainly used to pull sleds. They have done this for centuries in Siberia. As would be expected of a breed that has to pull sleds, the Siberian Husky is strong, muscular and has a great deal of stamina. At the turn of this century, sled racing became very popular in Alaska. There were quite a few dogs in the U.S. by the middle of the 1920Æs. Their doublecoat is long and thick, with a soft undercoat that is quite dense and wooly. This coat protects the dog perfectly from extremely cold temperatures. The Siberian Husky's coat needs to be groomed regularly during shedding periods to help keep coat healthy. They do shed their undercoats two times each year. Color: all colors from black to pure white.

The Siberian Husky is an active dog that needs to have a lot of exercise each and every day. Training: early socialization, consistent and firm discipline and obedience. Good with children; best if raised with them from puppyhood. Their ears are medium in size, held erect and forward. The tail hangs to hocks and is quite thick and bushy with hair, and is usually carried curled over the back. They are a bit smaller than the Malamute. Siberians are not too concerned or suspicious of strangers or of other dogs. They are good with other household pets if raised with them from puppyhood. They have no possessive qualities either, so they don't make a guard dog! This breed is a wonderfully agreeable companion. Out on walks, the owner must be alert and have a firm hold of the leash. They can take off on a moments notice! The Siberian Husky is not a barker, but they do enjoy a good howl now and then. They also love to dig.

haha... in addition, these furry member are super energetic and super mischievous... therefore.. to my furry gang friends, if u thinking of petting it... better think of a way to exhause its energy or it will give u a mess... LOLZ and one more thing... Don't ever think of letting it guard ur home as it really dissapointing u!! ^_^"

Hair

Did you folks realise that guinea pigs have fur, and hair at the same time? You're asking me what's the diff? I didn't really know at one point, but now, I provide to thee the answer to the question you never thought of asking until I brought it up!

Actually, there isn't any difference according to a source I checked just not too long ago (5 minutes from the time of posting this, lol!) right here: http://www.sciam.com/askexpert_question.cfm?articleID=0006E5B1-64B0-1C72-9EB7809EC588F2D7

But I guess people associate fur with animals and hair with homo sapiens or mammals. In the end, it doesn't even matter, because you are here with us, the Furry Gang, haha! So, next time when a friend cuts his hair, I'll go ask:

Me: So, where did you cut and style your....err..........fur?
Friend o'mine: Why don't you climb that flight of stairs up to the rooftop of Freescale where you're conducting industrial training and jump off? (In short, Go and die!!)

Piggy Food of Varieties :P

Found this piece of info in a website. For those who are interested in having a cavey can refer to it. The Guinea Pig Web site
Didn't know they like Apples too!

Guinea's Food:
Cucumber: If you own a Guinea Pig then you must have 'Plenty Of Cucumber!'

They love it! All four pig's with a plate in front of them with EVERY THING you can imagine on will always pick cucumber first!. When I got Kornage I hadn't kept Guinea Pigs before and didn't really know a lot about them. I did notice he didn't drink as much as my hamster so I was concerned. I fed him cucumber initially because I felt it meant he was definitely getting some kind of water intake. I have since noticed that Guinea Pig's do not drink a lot. Millie however is an exception to this and can drink a bottle of water in 24 hours. She seems to always be at the water bottle. I was worried she wasn't able to use the bottle but the fact that air bubble rise when she drinks is an indication that it works fine.

First thing in the morning I always give my piggie's a slice of cucumber each. When I come downstairs and go in the kitchen to make a cup of tea as soon as I open my fridge they will start mweeping to remind me not to forget them. It's the most awful feeling to hear them mweeping when you have run out of cucumber! This is why I buy plenty, at present a weeks shopping consists of at least 4 cucumbers. That's a cucumber per piggy, however I normally start to run out towards the end of the week and have to get more.

I give my piggie's about 4 slices each per day of cucumber. It really depends, if it's a hot day I feed them cucumber that's been in the fridge and is chilled. I think it must be refreshing for them and help to cool them down even if only for 5 min's. I also keep one out on the side so it ripens more. When they are ripe they become very juicy and I feel are a good source of water on days when they could become dehydrated.

As much as they love cucumber it however does not contain any goodness for them as its made up of water. Cucumber should not be given as a source of vitamin C It is more of a treat for them.


Carrots: I would say they are not over keen on carrots. However I find out of most of the fresh vegetables these do tend to keep well in the fridge. When you can buy carrots with the leaves still attached you should because they like the leaves too.

Celery: All of the celery is good. I used to buy celery with no leaves. Now I buy the most leafy bunch I can.

Peppers: These are very full of vitamin C and very good for Guinea Pigs. I have read online that 1/7th of a green bell pepper is enough vitamin C for a piggy a day. I tend to buy lots of different coloured ones and give a different kind each day. I cut up half of one to share out between them. Clean out all of the seeds when you give them to your Guinea Pig. I have read time and time again that no kind of seeds should be fed to Guinea Pigs. I am not sure if its because they can be toxic or fattening. However seeds is something I avoid giving them.

Parsley: This is a great source of vitamin C and they love it. Also you can grow it very easily in your garden. Supermarkets sell this fresh and its very cheap.

Baby Sweet Corn: My Guinea Pig's love baby sweet corn when it is still fresh and crunchy. Be warned if they are sat on you when they eat this it makes a real mess!

Fresh corn on the cob: When you can buy these fresh in season (Not the frozen type) I buy one and put it in the cage. The pigs are not over keen on this but do like to drag it in to a hidey hole and sit and munch on it.

Apple: My piggie's only like certain kinds of apple. I buy old fashioned english apples, the yellowish with red splashes on. I do not feed them this often as I have read that apples can cause blistering around the Guinea Pig's mouth from the acid in them. I have never experienced this but have noted this and only feed apple about twice a week.

I think the green crunchy apples are more acidic than the old english and never feed them that kind.

Melon: My lot like to eat the skin of honey due melons. They are not so keen on the other kinds. I give them chilled melon on hot days when I have one.

Cauliflower leaves: It occurred to me when throwing away the leaves on a cauliflower that my pig's may actually like them. They do like the leafy part but not the stalk. They do not like the flower of it.

Broccoli: This is a good source of vitamin C but sometimes my pig's eat it and others they wont touch it.

Grapes: You can give Guinea Pig's a grape occasionally but they must be seedless. I haven't read anything about it but I do assume that if you gave a Guinea Pig too many of these it would surely upset their stomachs. So I would make this a treat now and then rather than part of their diet. If anybody knows different then do contact me and put me straight.

Spring Onion: I have no idea if they are allowed these but my piggie's like the very dark green end of them. I do not feed often but if I am cutting some up will give them the leafy end rather than bin it.

Cranberry Juice: My pigs like this sometimes. It's a very high source of vitamin C and can be fed to them with a syringe. I have found my piggie's like cranberry and raspberry juice but I assume if I give them too much it will upset their stomach.

I have found that my pigs definitely do not like strawberries, oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes.

Dog



Cute doggies!! Always wanted to have one but considering that Mom is terrified of their WET nose and the problem of food.. guess no chance. lolz..

Makan

Yep, eating is what every living, breathing and squeaking thing has to do.

It's only now that I understand why cartoonists draw hamsters and guinea pig's mouth the way they do. Didn't really know why, until I saw this picture of course! (refer to the guinea pig on the right)

I enjoy watching animals feed, except for carnivores definitely. It's one of the reasons I am vegetarian, for 81% of my life. My ol' guinea pig Mimi was exceptionally naughty when it comes to feeding. Feed it too often with carrots, it'll eat a little, then start throwing his food around by biting it and carrying it up vertically, then smash it on the ground! I used to be rather amused by the sight of it, but decidedly stopped being so cruel and fed it with cucumber (its fav) the next few days. Imagine if your mom were to cook bitter gourd everyday for lunch and dinner for the whole week!!

Buying a Hamster

When buying a hamster, there are many aspects to be considered:

The hamster shouldn't be too young (at least three weeks old) or too old (not more than three months). If you buy a hamster with two weeks it will probably die, because tha hamster can't feed itself suitably. With more than two months a female hamster might be pregnant. A so young "mother" is of course not a healthy hamster. Another aspect is that young hamsters are much easier to tame.

Buy a hamster only in the afternoon, because they sleep during the day and you can't see how active they are

Maybe the hamster is ill or hurt and the seller wants to sell you the hamster for the half of the price, but NEVER buy a hamster in those conditions.

The eyes of the hamster should be clear and the hair shouldn't be wet. These marks mean that the hamster is ill.

Buy only one hamster, because when they grow they begin to fight. If you want to breed hamsters you have to keep male and female in different cages. (Exception: dwarf hamsters, if they are from the same litter)

Dog's Thoughts


Do I look familiar? My master very famous! He is taking his bath now. Any message you wanna pass to him? By the way, my name is Siow Bai. Nice to meet you!


Don’t disturb me! I work until flop on floor (做到趴地). Feel like 100 years never sleep! You will be sorry if you try to!
