Playing with Other Dogs

On the night before Hector arrived, E allowed us to play with the dog downstairs (owned by E's landlady).

There were several dogs owned by the landlady, 2 pugs, 1 shih tzu (Kylie's mother), 1 miniature poodle, 1 pomeranian, 1 pekingese and 1 pitbull-mix.

Here are our pictures:





The floor looks kinda dirty since the landlady and her family has not yet cleaned it. Thankfully, none of the dogs live on the floor (well, except for the pitbull-mix but he has a monobloc sofa to sit on).

The pomeranian, the poodle and the pekingese are not in the picture as they were let out of the house after E has taken their pictures.

The pomeranian is quite small (she's smaller than us and she's already an adult). She's also very shy and doesn't want to play with any dog. The minute E's landlady put her on the floor to play with us, she ran to a corner and hid. The pugs ran after her to play but the pom is very scared.

The pekingese is very hairy (I think hairier than us). She's one of our ancestors (the peke was crossed with a lhasa apso to create an even more beautiful breed). She's very yappy and barks and barks at E when he passes by and smells him.

Samantha, the shih tzu (Kylie's mom) has her tail on a curl on her back and the tail is always wagging. She doesn't seem to recognize Kylie very much but she's happy to have other dogs to play with.

The mini poodle has been shaved of all her hair. The landlady said because her coat tangled and matted.

The two pugs are kindly skinny for their breed but they're very playful and smelled us several times.

Well, the pitbull-mix is on chain and he's big (bigger than Hector but Hector is still a puppy).

Based on playing with these dogs, I am happy that we are better taken care of than these dogs.

Til next playtime.

KING, the sweet one.

A New Dog in Our Home

Yesterday, E's friend brought another dog, a big dog. When standing up, King or I can fit under him. And I think even if he grows up, we will not get as big as he is right now (he's only 3 months!).



At first, I was very excited to play with him. But he is so hyper active and so tall (he can step over us even if we're standing up). At one point, while both King and I were standing (a little bit apart), he jumped over us. He made us look like obstacles on track and field!

E bought him a dog collar and put a big bell which he put in the collar. Now, whenever he (E calls him Hector Krzysztof - what a long and unusual name) walks, the ball jingles. It warns us that he is coming but is driving us crazy at night (jingling and jingling since he walks a lot) when we are trying to sleep.

Well, I do play with him a little but finds it quite difficult since he's big! It may take him sometime to adjust his playfulness for our size.

True Colors

After about 2 months of living with E, he finally figured out my colors.

At first he thought that I was black with white on the chest and chin (tuxedo pattern) and gold on the head. Then he thought that my fur was banding (gold-tipped, then black, then white or gold).

Well, today, upon close inspection of my coat (right after taking a bath), he finally found out that I have black topcoat and white/gold undercoat).


The undercoat is most apparent at the back (due to parting of hair). My undercoat is about an inch of gold and white hairs.

I would look much different when given a puppy cut. I'll be mostly gold with black and white.

Near E's Crotch

Sometimes, E sits on the floor and plays with us. Here are two pictures where we are near E's crotch:

KING: I was bending my neck so I can look into the camera.


KYLIE: It may look like I was smelling E's crotch but I'm actually not. I'm just hiding from the camera (and the white light that usually flashes from it). Enough pictures already!

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie (or Sleep in Whatever Position They Like)

As dogs, we spend the better part of the day sleeping or napping.

We normally sleep either on our side or on our tummy. Sometimes, we sleep or nap in other positions:

KING: I sometimes sleep in this position. It keeps my tummy cool and E can scratch my tummy easier.


KYLIE: I was just napping in this picture. I'm not sure if I can sleep in this position for long (imagine the stiff neck on waking up!).



KYLIE, the beautiful, and KING, the sweet one.

P.S., As we have said in several of our previous posts, E has already dismantled this playpen since we were housetrained (well, mostly housetrained). E also learned that sleeping and standing on wire flooring is bad for our paws, our backs and our skin.

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.

Give Me Human Food!

Ever since E gave me some corned beef (he gave it to me since I was not eating my normal dog food), I've always wanted to eat other human food.

Sometimes, E gave me pieces of cooked eggs or pieces of cheese. I eat all that E gives (since King just smells and ignores human food).

Do I smell human food?


Please give me some of that delicious-smelling chicken. Please....
