Quad Camera New iPhone App / Suri for Adoption

Suri the GSD is up for adoption... I have met with her several times before and she is a REAL sweetie. I know the poster says that she is basic command trained... but she is really a lot more than that. I have objected with Auntie Eileen about that but she says wait till the potential adopter meet her and get blown away!

So please help spread the word. She really does deserve a great home! She is very well-formed and exceedingly pretty too! Contact Auntie Eileen for more details and visiting timings.
And once again, its obvious that Pa has gotten a new app for his iPhone and had us playing with it again.
Its called the Quad Camera and it really does take some really interesting pictures. Its like those old time multi-lens cameras.
With an option to take 4's 8's and in Rectangles or a Filmstrip type... it makes it kinda fun playing with it. The results are unexpected.
Looks like we'll be going out soon to try out this new app sooner and better!!

Obligatory New Year Post

I am not a very happy Rottie. 2009 rocked for me... so many things happened... But when it came to saying farewell to 2009... I got nothing. All these pictures... have NOTHING to do with me but to piss me off.
Did you know that Hilton Singapore, 4 season, regeant, bayview, somerset compass, fraser place all allow dogs to stay as well? But instead... Pa had to go to one that didn't allow dogs.
Boy.... I would have enjoyed the view immensely.
2009 was a year of new friends and new experiences... and in a short few days, our debut TV appearance with Suria would be on... once we get the episode, it would be uploaded for all to watch!
Irritatingly, not many pictures have been taken of me recently...
But we did get some very interesting gifts! Hopefully Chinese New Year wouldn't be as bad.
Sherjay just past his 1 year birthday as well. He is really such a big boy now. Hope he had fun at his birthday!
All in all, all of us met up with frens we never met before, but know each other in a way no one else could. Save for Auntie Karen who is always acting cute online.

Mono the Pyrenean Mountain Dog

A terrible twist of fate for Mono the Pyrenean Mountain Dog. The owner today called Pa up, and that he wants to give the dog up. And he has only had him for 3-4 days.

What has gone wrong? Apparently this fellow has been rehomed at least 3 times already. Each time, the previous owners could not take his antics and misbehavior. And boy... Pa understands he has some.

A pyrenean mountain dog is a big fellow. Male dogs can go up to 50-55kgs. This fellow is at least 10kgs underweight.

His fur has also been very badly groomed.
This is how the fellow should be looking. But the problem isn't only about his looks. His behavior STINKS. He is aggressive and will charge at other dogs. It is HIGHLY possible that he might NEVER go for walks without a muzzle.

This was one of those few dogs where going without a muzzle would really be a big bad idea. But Pa as a firm handler, and he had kept him for 1+ day, didn't have the same problems the other more clueless dog owners have.

Pa didn't get the same incessant barking that seemed to affect the others. In fact, after a few firm corrections, he also stopped trying to kill Bruno and me.
But the bad news still exist EVEN after Pa has offered to train and teach the new owner what to do. Looks like he is going to given away again.

Mono is a beautiful trainable dog. And if you have what it takes to train this dog, Pa would be more than happy to give free lessons in order to have him rehomed one last time.

Please email Pa at killertouch@hotmail.com. Mono is already microchipped and is looking for a new loving home. It will take a lot of training. Are you up for it?

*Preferable for families with no current pets and have Mono their only pet.

Fined $9000 for Dog Attack / Farewell to Mono!

Fined $9000 for Dog Attack

THE man whose mongrel bit three children in January was fined $9,000 on three charges on Thursday. It was Mr Terri Chua's first brush with the law but not the first time that his dog Mon Mon had created trouble.

About two years ago, the yellow, short-haired mongrel had bolted out of Mr Chua's Serangoon Garden's home; pouncing on a jogger passing by and chasing her for some distance. That jogger filed a police report and Mr Chua, 46, was given a warning.

Since then, the corporate trainer said he and his family always made sure someone was holding onto the two-year-old dog whenever the gate was opened. He said the dog gave no trouble at home, even to his children aged nine and 10.

Mon Mon was friendly and playful with the family but when it came to strangers was easily excited, said Mr Chua. He told The Straits Times that Mon Mon was leashed when he walked the dog in Tavistock Park in January. There were some children playing there and when Mon Mon broke free of Mr Chua's grip it pounced onto a boy. By the time he got hold of Mon Mon, it had hurt two other children.

He took the dog home and returned to the park, where he found police waiting for him. 'I took all the precautions that I could. I had him on a leash and it was in my hand. It just so happened that we were at the wrong place at the wrong time,' he said.

The Chuas have no plans to put Mon Mon to sleep. Nor will they muzzle the dog.

What is wrong with people nowadays? While a dog has every right to live and protect his family, so does other human beings as well. This dog is obviously out of control.

Owners like these are utterly clueless what to do. This is so terrible.

News like this upsets me...

Uncle Jaywalk had a very nice article up on his blog for us... go take a look!
Good news for Mono the Pyrenean Mountain Dog.

His owner was looking for him eventually and is actually our neighbour. The worst thing is that Pa actually brought the dog to that farm and asked the people there is that dog theirs... and they said no it wasn't.
Sounds like they might be having some internal issues with each other... I do hope Mono will not be suffering for it. Good Luck Mono! we will be visiting you soon.
