A slightly belated Christmas wish from us.. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a joyous New Year ahead!! Wherever you are, we are sending heaps of love and kisses your way..

Cannot believe it's been more than a YEAR since our last post!! This is totally unacceptable, and we missed all our friends terribly. We wish that our mom gets her act together and stop neglecting our blog...  

A lot has happened since our last post.. as in A LOT. So much that I don't quite know where to begin.. To start off, I turned 14 in August and Hershey turned 5 in April. We had mini celebrations at home as usual. The key thing is, all is well with us pups.

The other big news is Hershey and I welcomed another human brother into our fold in March this year (the count now is Pups-2, Little Boys-2. We are on even ground so we tell the parents, NO MORE little humans!!) This is also the main reason why mom has neglected our blog. She doesn't have much time left between juggling the boys, going to work and housework these days. 

Introducing our new little brother.. 

And this one is all grown up.. He turned 2 last month and is now officially in the 'Terrible Twos' phase. He is great at sharing his food with us, so we get along really well! Oh yes, and we reciprocate by sharing our water... Mom caught him drinking from our water bowl a number of times! Heheheh... 

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!

After a very, very long wait, our little human brother is finally here!! Our mom had kept a very low profile throughout the pregnancy because we weren't sure if this story would end up with a happy or sad ending. With the losses of Angels Lucas and Chloe, we were all walking on egg-shells for the past 9 months. With a lot of medical care and a healthy dose of faith, we are very proud to introduce our human brother (whom we all had affectionately nicknamed 'Little Bun' throughout mom's pregnancy because dad and mom chose not to find out the baby's gender until very late. The reason for the nickname is because mom's tummy is the oven that's 'baking' a 'little bun').

Little Bun was scheduled to arrive on 21st Oct, which was dad and mom's 8th wedding anniversary, but our little brother decided to take things in his own hands and arrived 3 days earlier on 18th Oct. He weighed a healthy 3.2kg (slightly over 7lbs) which delighted and surprised mom because she only managed to gain very little weight - 6.4kg (around 3lbs) during the pregnancy and was expecting the baby to be small. Moreover, Little Bun barely made it to what the doctors refer to as 'full term', i.e. 37 weeks, when he arrived at 37 weeks and 2 days.

We feel so blessed to finally be able to welcome our little brother into our lives, and we can finally stop licking away the tears from our mom's face. We can finally hear laughter in our house again... it is something that had been missing for the past 4 years. Our family had been waiting for the stork to bring us this baby for a long time.. and after a lot of heartache and tears, he is finally here!

The destroyer is at work (again)... The poor froggie was disfigured in under 10 minutes!! Evidence below...

I am begining to grow out of my last haircut and the humans really digging my new look. I am really liking it too cos it makes me look like the cute little pup that I was many years ago... Can you guess from the photo that I am already 12 years old?

Since the humans find me so irresistably adorable, I get away with a lot of 'crimes' (read: peeing inside the house... I know it is baaaaad but I don't know why I do it. Perhaps it is just for the heck of it and it drives the humans absolutely bonkers). At the same time, I am also getting a lot of extra belly rubs, treats, ear scratches!! Heehee... Life IS good!! I think I shall maintain this haircut in future even though it'd mean frequent trips to the groomers (this part I am not so keen).
