Must Love Dogs

You know that romantic comedy starring John Cusack and Diane Lane?  The tagline "must love dogs" was actually included in a personal dating ad that the sister to Diane Lane's character had advertised for her in the movie.

The statement has been popping up and again in my head, well, because there are about 5 dogs currently in my life! hahaha... note: i said "my life", not "my house"because the 5 doggies are, thankfully, spread out between my house and my parents' house. Growing up, I always loved dogs, but parents never got us one when we were kids. I remember one that strayed to our house once but we didn't get to keep that doggie. So in the last 10 years of my life, have gone from zero dogs to having many many doggies in my life!

Just felt like doing a post to introduce all them 5:

Bubbles Lim

Breed: Maltese
Age: 10 years this year
Owner: She's my li'l precious
Nickname: Poochi, Old Lady, Babuji
About her: Loves to eat, will beg for food, opinionated, territorial, a little chilli padi who will pick a fight with dogs of any size but is still scared of the thunder and fireworks. Doesn't like football games on tv because the husband will usually go, "AIYO! AIYO!"- same goes for action movies.

Logan Loh

Breed: Golden retriever

Age: 1 year this year

Owner: Father-in-law's

About him: The sweetest dog who loves being patted by anyone and everyone. FIL's dog who basically lives with us in our house. During walks, he will come nudge your hand for a pat on his head while walking! Also loves being combed - will lie down at your feet as soon as you have the comb in your hand. He looks a bit moody in this photo though but maybe he's bored most of the time having to entertain himself.

Gracie Lim

Breed: Golden retriever

Age: 2 years this year

Owner: Brother + sister-in-law

About her: Very well interacted and smart dog although always needs your attention all the time. Always whines, for some reason, especially if she's been left alone in the house for a while. Between Logan and Gracie - she is the more dominant one. Otherwise, she's a great dog for my dad, because she will keep coming back for more no matter how much he wrestles her, pushes her away, kacau's her - unlike Bubbles.

Buddy Lim

Breed: Maltese mix poodle (we think - he was suppose to be a maltese puppy!)

Age: 9 years this year

Owner: My parents (although he's more like my parents' maid's dog)

About him: Poor fella was sick from the time he was brought back home and now has early onset of cataract in his eyes (he's pretty blind). But the sweet fella still finds his way around the house and will come for a scratch at his chest when I'm in the house :). Spends most of the day sleeping and plays hide-n-seek with the maid.

Cookie

Breed: Terrier mix

Age: should be 1 year this year

Owner: not sure (maid brought her home from her friend who didn't want her anymore)

About her: read all her background here, here and here. She's gotten much better with us, the people folk. Will come greet and go into a playful-please-scratch-me pose now. She's a cutie and quite smart too although she's a bit rogue-ish! She needs a bit of training cause she's a little rough around the edges and is on a biting/chewing spree. But can't blame her - she's got no toys to keep her entertained! She doubles as a good pretty good guard dog too - have seen her bark really loudly at strangers who pass by the house.
