I actually haven’t been feeling too well for the past few days. I thought it was the weather and you know, I haven’t been getting proper sleep because of insomnia and all. OK I do know that these are all excuses. The bottom line is, I haven’t been taking good care of myself, that’s why I don’t feel well. Boohoo!
Anyway, this whole not-too-well thing finally hit me hard today. I’ve been having continuous headache for 2-3 days now, and today, it was so bad I could barely stand straight. This, and couple with that crazy backache since early this week. I finally took a painkiller last night, hoping that they will all go away but they stayed up and greeted me even more vigorously when I woke up this morning.
So I decided to stay at home, take another painkiller, and catch some rest. Sounds like the perfect thing to do, except that the dogs don’t really care about your plans. On most days, they spend their afternoon taking long naps in funny positions. Occasionally they do bark like mad when there are monkeys pointing imaginary middle fingers at them from the neighbour’s tree. Today, however, with no reason whatsoever, Coco decided to impress herself by making a whole lot of noise while trying to squeeze herself through the gaps on the small gate.
She doesn’t normally do that. I don’t know what triggered that behaviour but when I looked down from the window, I could see Xiao Bi turning her back towards Coco, with that crazy mutt swinging her butt from one side to another thinking that she had not only impressed herself, but me too.
This lasted for a few hours, until the painkiller decided to quit because nobody can beat Coco. Which also means until now, I’m still living with terrible headache and backache. As much as I don’t like to, another painkiller has made itself to the list for tonight.
 Wassup?
 Hmm... what exactly are you trying to do?  Ya' know, I don't quite like taking photos...  ... but I kinda like your camera...  Yeah. My babe.  Uhuh. So who's taller?  Hey kid, what's with you?  Ya' know... I really don't like Coco when she bites my ears. I hope she doesn't find me here... The weather isn’t doing anything good on me, and am obviously getting a little sick. The dogs were, and are, as usual, all messy and bla. They had good time though. :)
When we adopted Coco back in June 2009, we wanted to have a companion for Xiao Bi so she wouldn’t be so bored and start messing up the place – yes I’ll admit, that was our primary intention. After having Gobi (Xiao Bi’s sister) and Xiao Bi, I didn’t want to buy another dog and decided that there were so many strays out there waiting to be adopted and I’ll have one of them. The right one. So we met Coco.
She was so small when she first joined us. My family always made fun of her almost-entirely-black appearance – even her tongue has some black spots!
Though she was small, she still wrestled with Xiao Bi. And Xiao Bi being the big sister was surprisingly very gentle with her new mate – in fact she has NEVER been that gentle to me before!
In no time, Coco has grown into a piece of black wind (if there is such a thing) full of energy, running around the house digging and chewing on things like nobody’s business. And that’s when we realised OMG WE’VE GOT OURSELVES ANOTHER XIAO BI!
Anyway, HAPPY 1 YEAR OLD, Coco! I hope now that you’ve finally celebrated your first birthday, you’ll learn not to crawl into the neighbour’s yard, not to play with anything handy or not handy including paints, not to eat everything you see including the toys, not to eat your own poop – and PLEASE STOP POOPING ON YOUR OWN BLANKET!
We love you!
Dear Coco.
Thank you for making my morning so meaningful. I imagine myself to still carry with me the sleepy eyes if it wasn’t because of you. You woke me up in such a great way. I love you.
**********
Our new adopted pup, Coco, is, well, let’s just say that she probably wasn’t a dog. There is for sure one new, creative thing from her every morning. Sometimes you’ll find your plants all bald. Not dead, but bald. Other times you probably find some poop at the back – only that 90% of the poop is made up of small stones. Yeah she eat stones and let them travel through her and come out again. Not only that. Once we found the plastic drain hole cover was gone and she had part of it too. And when she poop, you can even see the plastic. How fun!
This morning was a good one. I woke up feeling lazy and dizzy and when I saw her, there were white spots on her ears. Before I could realise what was that (I actually thought a bird poop on her…), I saw this.
(Note: This was taken after I slightly cleaned the place.)
Yeah. Paint. She somehow climbed up the cabinets keeping the paints and woo-hoo!
And she was still happy as ever, jumping up and down like nothing happened.
(Yes human! What’s that thing in your hand?)
(What? Don’t look at me. I didn’t ask her to do that.)
Sigh. Why can’t I just have a normal dog?!
