Pet Pride 063: Grounded

For being naughty, peeing inside the house...

 

You are hereby sentenced to an hour outdoor tied to a tree...

But... but... but... muuuuum!

Can I go in nao?

Pet Pride 062: All Ears

Mum: Alright, doggies. Listen to me...

Joe: I'm all EARS, mum!

Pet Pride 061: The curious and the not

Just a typical weekend for us here.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

And if you look closer, you'll see Mum's reflection on the shiny floor, tee-hee-hee.

Pet Pride 060: Greet-er

This is what greets me coming home after work.

Can't be any sweeter than that!

Pet Pride 059: Patience is a virtue

Someone's waiting for mum and dad to take notice.

Joe, with his favourite tennis ball. Gotta love the silver bling, too. It makes him look tough outside  but, inside,  he is actually really a softie.

Pet Pride 058: Back-scratch, please

This is Max here... Wow, it's been almost four months since we last posted here. Mum and Dad are very busy these past months. We got ourselves a new place somewhere outside of the city (wooohooo, so many chickens and cats to chase!) and mum just got back to working again. Sometimes Joe and I don't want her to go to work...

Don't go, mum. But if you must, can I have a back-scratch, please?

But she has to go, really. And so, before she leaves the house, I get to have a quick scratch in the back :)

Pet Pride 057: Max's turn

Last week, Joe wasn't that successful. Now, it's my turn.

Mum, pleeeaze put it down nao. Or I'm calling dad!

Pet Pride 056: Joe's Plea

Hi. It's da Joe here. Yo, yo, wazzup, fuwwy fwends? 

We jazz got back from de holidayz... and my mum won't stop fiddling wif her tablet :( 

Come on, Mum. Can we play now, puh-leazzze?

Pet Pride 055: Chewbacca?

No, I'm not. I am Max.

Sorry we have been absent from the memes for so long. We hope to do this again regularly. And we also hope old friends will find us back. Have a super weekend.

Pet Pride 054: Nobody messes with Joe

Joe is on guard duty at the veranda at the back our apartment where we have huge pots planted with vegetables. 

In full concentration. He scours every corner of the veranda for any unfriendly bugs and CATS.

Good job, Joe.

Pet Pride 053: Happy new year!

Hey guys, we are back! From our household, we wish you all, dear friends, a happy and fruitful new year!

Pet Pride 052: Mohawk Max

It's Max's turn on the limelight this week. Joe was having a stomach problem and would not come out of his "dog cave" (under the stairs). Fortunately, Max is in a good mood.

Love Max's mohawk-hairstyle. She's totally loving it, too!

I was surprised that she didn't go away when I pointed the camera at her. She's now more than six years old. Isn't she pretty?

I'm very worried about Joe. He hasn't eaten well for days and he refuses to eat without being prodded. It must have been the dog food that we bought last week. It wasn't expired when I checked the cans again. If he doesn't eat more tomorrow, we'll have to take him to the vet's.

Pet Pride 051: Separated at birth?

Hi. Max and Joe's mum here.

Sorry we've been quiet for several weeks. We have so much going on at home at the moment  and I could not find enough time to blog.  Now that our schedule has loosened up a bit, we are back to our blogging activity.

For this week's picture, I thought I'd share with you the one I took of Joe. He was being teased by my husband while I was making him sit still for a photo. I thought that it came out nicely though, whatchathink?

Joe wanted that ball!

I was looking at Joe's picture when it suddenly it hit me - I saw this face on tv the other night and I was right!

Can you see the similarity between Joe (top) and Sid (above)? It is uncanny, isn't it?

I could not believe my eyes! Joe looks like Sid, the sloth character in the movie Ice Age. Totally! I'm afraid, they're separated at birth.

Pet Pride 050: Hyper Joe

A scene at home today, after lunch. I was about to start my craft work when this rascal jumped on me.

I guess that means I won't have anything done this afternoon :(

Pet Pride 049: Max and Joe cosy together

This is Max and Joe's mum again.
We are on holiday beginning tomorrow till Wednesday. It's the Pchum Ben festival in Cambodia. This is one of the important Buddhist holidays for it commemorates the spirits of the dead and it lasts for 15 days. Buddhists believe that during the Pchum Ben, the gates of hell are opened so the souls who "reside" there go out and walk on earth. They roam and search for food. So the living relatives go to the wats (temples) to offer food and prayers for them. In return for these offerings, the devout Buddhists earn merits for their next life. On the other hand, if the spirits weren't satisfied with the offerings, bad luck will befall on them.

So anyway, this is a big excuse for most Phnom Penh residents to go back to their hometowns for several days and be reunited with their families and relatives as they bring their offerings to their ancestors.

As for us, expats, it is also an excuse to go out of the city or the country for a holiday. But since we have two dogs, we could not just leave them behind without someone to look after them. So we stayed. I was organising my computer files and pictures when I got hold of this photo - of Max and Joe in 2009. I think this was the time when Max finally warmed up to Joe whom she was jealous of when Joe came to live with us.

I like the way Max's paw rests lovingly and gently on Joe's side and how Joe is seemingly enjoying the warmth and tenderness of Max.

Pet Pride 048: Lazy Joe

Hello furry friends, this is Max and Joe's mum. How is everyone doing today? Tropical storm Gaemi landed in Phnom Penh yesterday and it's been raining non-stop. It's been cool and wet since Friday and we have just been lazing around. Max and Joe are doing okay. Right now they are in opposite sides of the living room, curled into a ball. Meanwhile, I was trying to finish up some gift tags for our {online} craft shop when this rascal decided to curl beside me.

Joe kept on nudging me with his nose and scratching his body against me. It's his way of asking for a belly rub. Now, tell me, how can I finish my work?

Pet Pride 047: New collar

Joe's mum here. Joe's dad and I bought new collars for Max and Joe the other day. As usual, Max is not too keen on having her photo taken. She loves the new collar - it's green - but hates the camera. Unlike Joe here who is so demonstrative of his gratitude. He even posed for the camera. So here he is, Joe rockin' his new orange collar.

I think Joe's new orange collar suits him well!
