Toys! Toys! Toys!

Since I chew a lot, E has bought several toys for me to chew on.

Here are some of the toys that he bought for us:



Here I am playing with a ball made of weaved plastic. There is a bell inside so it jingles whenever I bite or carry it (Kylie is too tired to play):


Here is Kylie with a string of hotdogs or sausages.


King would rather sleep than play with these toys.


And since this is my post, here are a few more of my pictures:

This is the squeaky tire. It squeaks whenever I bite it:


Here is the red and green ball. Should I further destroy it? (I eventually did!)


Playing is tiring! Need some nap time:

Chewing

Hector Krsysztof here. As I said, I'm a labrador retriever.

I don't know yet what this "retriever" is supposed to mean. E hasn't taught me yet.

I do feel, however, that I need to do something with my mouth... so I chew - a lot!

Here I am chewing the container where E used to put my drinking water.


A momentary pause in chewing to look in the camera.


I also chewed the edge of E's TV rack (I was making sure E doesn't bump into these edges but E didn't seem to appreciate this gesture). I also chewed and scratched part of the wallpaper in E's rom (a job started by King and Kylie but I brought it to a new level, I can almost peel one whole portion of the wallpaper).

Hello, I'm Hector Krzysztof

Hi.

This is my first post here. I am a labrador retriever. I grew up in Rizal from a breeder who breeds large dogs (labs, german shepherd dog and pitbulls).

I was given to E by his friend.

At first E thought that I am not a pure-bred labrador due to the shape of my head and my tail. However, on searching the internet, he found out that I come from the American (field) type of labradors.

On meeting E, I was sooo excited that I immediately wagged my tail and tried to lick and sniff him. E also has two other dogs (Kylie and King) which I learned are a month older than I am but they're so small they can fit under me when I'm standing up.

I like playing, a lot. I was not used to playing with such small dogs that I have to tone down my play for King and Kylie. I even let Kylie be on top of me when we're playing.


But most of the times, I like to be on top.


Kylie likes playing with me. Though sometimes, he avoids playing with me because I'm too big and too strong for her. Which makes me sad so I bark and bark until she plays with me.

King, on the other hand, is a little bit shy and generally doesn't want to play. But lately, I think King is coming around to playing with me.

Playing with a No-Name "Dog"

E gave us another "dog" to play with.

This dog is a big dog. S/He looks like a dog but somehow, s/he doesn't smell like a dog.

Like, Kata, s/he's very quiet. S/He only moves when E pats him/her in the neck.

These are our pictures. I am more interested in playing with this "dog" than King is (King doesn't seem to like playing with other dogs - only with me).




Here is a video of me playing with no-name dog. S/He's very calm and doesn't respond to my play invitations.

Kata, My First Playmate

JUNE 28, 2010

Before came along, I was lonely whenever E leaves the house. He gave me Kata.



Kata looks like a dog (actually s/he sort of looks like a shih tzu puppy) but s/he doesn't smell like a dog (because he lacks a dog smell, I don't know if Kata is a he or a she). S/He doesn't bark, he only moves when I or E touches him. S/He doesn't even yelp even when I bit him. And bit him/her did I, s/he lost both of her eyebrows and most of her fur.

E tells me that this dog-looking thing is named by his officemates. They named her after another officemate whose mouth seems to be always open (bad case of underbite - in shih tzu it can look cute but doesn't really look nice on humans).

When King came, E took him/her away. I don't really mind since King is a better playmate (though he sometimes plays rough).

I wonder where Kata is?
