Between returning back to a full time job, looking after a soon to be 11 month old and having a crazy as ever 4 and a half year old border collie who still thinks she is a puppy, mom is busy up to her eyebrows. (That is her excuse for not updating our blog). 

That said, all  is good in our little household. Things are finally on track after being 'derailed' for 3 years. The house is in a mess and looks more like a tornado hit nursery rather than something that an interior designer designed.. Hershey is still shedding like there's no tomorrow and trying to trip everyone by walking between their legs... and me? I am still as grumpy as ever BUT I admit that I am beginning to like my little hooman brother a lot more. He's more interactive now and had started taking solid food and boy it's like a buffet for me during his meal times. I ain't complaining! 

Hope that all of you are well, my dear friends.. I miss and love all of you so much!! **muacks**

The littlest one in our family will be turning 6 months old in 10 day's time... It is unbelievable how time flies. Hershey and I are counting down the days till Little Bun can start to feeding himself (and us). Mom had just started to wean him and had been giving him some mashy vegetable stuff which we think he isn't too fond off cos most of the food usually ends up on his rubber bib or on the floor (which we think is awesome!!).

Progress report:

So far, I (Huskee) still haven't displayed too much interest in Little Bun although on a few occasions I have brought him my stuffies. I also like to sleep under his cot and alert the humans when he cries. Mom also insist that I add this.. I have... ummm... stolen one of his toys. It's not really my fault.. it was lying on the bed unattended and it sort of looked rather lonely, so I decided to 'take care' of the lonely toy. Anyway, it's now M.I.N.E.. **sheepish grin**.

Hershey, on the other hand, simply cannot get enough of Little Bun. She finds every opportunity to get close to him and to kiss and lick him. I think she is besotted with him.. just look at the photos below!

I am not happy.. In fact, I am very grumpy cos I had to go to the vet, got poked TWICE by a needle (cos I struggled the first time and dislodged the needle) and then had to have the dreaded cone treatment! And this is all because of a stupid 'infection' in my left eye that's causing me to squint.

Ever since our human brother came into our lives, things have never been the same. We pups hardly get enough sleep anymore because little bun's energy doesn't seem to ever run out.

Look at me.. I am dozing off while out for a walk *yawn*.

Finally able to catch forty winks... but not for long cos once little bun wakes up, he demands the undivided attention of everyone in the house.

Poor Hershey even had to resort to stealing her beauty sleep in the quietest spot in the house, i.e. the bathroom!

Can anyone enlighten us as to when little bun will be making himself useful, like playing fetch with us (by this we mean us throwing the ball and him bringing it back), or when he will be able to start dropping food for us under the table??

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our dearest friends from near and far!!

We have been terribly remiss in our (lack of) blogging activities and we point our perfectly manicured paws at the culprit below:

Huh?! Who? Me??!

Yup, that's him. Our little human brother, fondly known as Little Bun, had created chaos in our previously peaceful life. Mom is up at weird times at night feeding him (I don't recall being fed so many times when I was a pup.. NOT FAIR!!). Little Bun also disrupts all our sleep with his cries... and now he takes up the space between dad and mom on the big bed. That space used to belong to US.

However, all these little inconveniences are worth it cos Little Bun had brought so much joy to our parents. We haven't seen them smile for a long time ever since they lost Angel Lucas in 2008. Finally our home is filled with a baby's cries and happy gurgles. The spare room that was meant to be a baby nursery is finally serving its purpose. With Little Bun's arrival, our 'house' is now a 'home'... Mom doesn't have the time (and energy) to keep our home spick and span like it was before, but we couldn't be happier with the mess.

Little Bun is now two-and-a-half months old and he looks very different from the time when mom first brought him home. We hope that in no time, he'd be able to play with us (and drop us food).

This photo was taken during Little Bun's very first trip out (to a shopping mall, no less.. that's what happens when your mom is a shopaholic) when he was slightly over one month old.

The below photos were taken during Christmas this year. 2011 Christmas is especially meaningful to our family cos we finally have a new little member.. one whom we have been waiting for!
