neh neh nee poo poooo...

the pretty little girl's growing so quickly! She's significantly heavier now, and prettier.. Her brother's really fluffy though. But this little girl is definitely prettier.. and feistier. heh. =) ...

Favourite game so far: tug-of-war. It's really funny seeing her revel in false belief that she's winning. hehe.. and then.. (proud moment).. releasing when I say 'leave it'. =D ..

oh the darling.

being naughty is tiring business

the naughtiest kid in the kindergarten

oh dear.

little miss sophie reached a new level of naughty-ness.

- wanted to eat newspapers

- batted the nose of a golden retriever! :S ... poor fella wanted to play with her. but even before anything could take place, sophie reached both paws out through the fencing and batted his nose like how diana used to bat matthan's. it's no longer very cute when your kid's the tyrant. =p ...

she gobbles

i need to get her this:

http://www.brake-fast.net/index.htm

:S .. it's almost embarrassing how she gobbles down her food like there's no tomorrow. Less than a minute! and the food's alllll gone. And there she will be again, yapping to get MORE... :S ..

what a greedy pig. =p

... on a tender note: i think she's really starting to recognise me.. to understand when she's being scolded.. to play tug and fetch.. to just sink into my arms in total security and (erm ok) tiredness.. and she's growing so quickly.. i just got her about 2 weeks ago and now she's significantly prettier.. =) .. (really!)

=) .. can't wait for her to come home.

her after-play look

naughty-stuff update:

- bit serena's top! i've got an incriminating video. But because it's too embarrassing to post it up, i'll just keep it for private viewing.

- is able to play fetch! i'm ssoooooo glad.. fetch is a much better game than tug. (at least now that she's bitey)

- is grrooowwwing... (so quickly!)

- doesn't like to be massaged behind the ears (unlike a certain black-white-brown boy who will subsequent belly up with an overt display of desire-to-be-pampered)

- is kiss-y.

what the (naughty) girl's been up to

- learning how to play tug with utmost concentration

- nipping at 'ouching' human beings

- mistaking sharon's cardigan as something 'tug-able'

- biting her brother (!!!)

- biting HIS toys (!!)

- self-entertaining by using us as obstacle course

- gobbling her food at record speed

- learning to 'come'

- learning to submit.

=) ... oh the baby. she's such a (naughty) darling. heh.

i wonder...

if she's getting fat from gobbling her food and not playing ball for 3 days.

MMM.

there you go.

the 'small terror' chewing at her tug ball. =p .. Apparently she's always hyper as long as she's awake! She's so different from her brother (named zai zai by his owners) .. Before meal times she'll be the one barking for the both of them.. and jumping up in a fruitless attempt to get at her food (which was outside of her cage at that time); Then apparently when one opens her cage, she immediately jumps out! hehe. silly little girl.

i need to find my camera.

... especially with all this extra wriggling that my camera phone can't handle.

=) ...

(* i think she's starting to recognise me! )

she likes her ball!

She played with her new ball today! =D

ok. let's recount the reason behind my enthusiasm over her playing with her ball. You see, when i first brought Ball to Sophie, Sophie sniffed and ball and decided that my fingers were better to bite and play with. Which was quite saddening, considering how long i stood in front of the toy-section, contemplating which toy would be best for her tweeny weeny mouth.

So anyway, she played with Ball today! =) .. played tug.. apparently she doesn't quite like 'fetch' yet. Maybe she just loses interest when the object of play gets thrown too far away. don't really know yet. =p .. anyway, Tug was so cute! She engaged in a 'frantic-head-twisting-with-ball-in-mouth' kind of tug.. which was so cute.. considering that both the ball and her look super cute already in their own right. Both of them twisting together in a colourful and totally white sharp contrast... oh boy. =)

toys for the girl

i hope she'll like the mushroom. heh.. it is purple. =D .. She just had her 2nd vaccination today. Tomorrow will be mushroom comfort day. =)

silly sophie

Introducing the new addition to the family: Sophie. =D ..

For some strange reason unknown to me, my mum agreed, without any need for even a gentle persuasion, to me getting a new puppy. Maybe she's feeling lonely, or maybe she thinks a puppy will be good for my dad... Whatever the reason, my long quest for the addition of a furry animal into the house finally ends with little Sophie.

I saw her first at Pet Lovers' Centre, thinking that she was a boy. She was forward-rolling and falling over her feet.. trampling on her brother (whom we thought was the HER) and doing the silliest things! So no, it wasn't a love at first sight at all... in fact, I thought I wanted her brother instead. The family then spent the weekend looking at all the Japanese Spitz(s) in Pasir Ris.. to no avail. They were either male or yappy. (and I wanted a non-yappy female)

Which then brings us back to silly sophie. So I went back to the Pet Lovers' Centre at holland village, having set my heart on the female japanese spitz there (in fact, her brother), only to be presented with her. =p .. But to cut a long story short... her silliness and affectionate licks won my heart.

So here she is, in my first attempted picture of her, and in all her silly glory:
