Ebi & Emma @ ECP~

Oh dear, i totally forgot to update the blog when i brought the dogs to ECP last saturday! *uploading it all in Facebook seems much easier & convenient, lol*

It was a boring Saturday after work last weekend. Weather seems bright & sunny (i love the sun!), thus decided to bring the dogs out. It was either cycling @ ECP or going prawning with the dogs tagging along. I even thought of Tanjong Beach @ Sentosa! Aborted the idea to the beach soon after coz their basic grooming has been book on Sunday. Buddy & I finally decided on cycling @ ECP coz the timing is bad for prawning (am sure it will be overload with humans). I packed their stuffs (towel, treats, water bottle & poo bags), grabbed the poochie pouch & off we go!

Reached ECP @ 3.30pm & the sky looked slightly gloomy. Nevertheless, we decided to go ahead with the plan & rented the bike for 2 hours. Since there were only 1 poochie pouch, they will take turns to sit in the big basket provided. We cycled from the bicycle kiosk near the lagoon all the way till the end, passing the Sailing Centre, Safra Resort eg. until there seems like no further route except a small turn along the 'river' & we were dead tired! We stopped, rest & took a drink, allowing the dogs to roam for awhile while i took some pictures. It was then that we heard some dogs howling from a distance away, which i did not get bothered coz the howling seems far away & there was a forest opposite (i've thought that the dogs were in the forest!). Until my buddy went off a short distance away to make a call. He hurried back soon after & anxiously told me there were 2 big black strays (mongrels most likely) at the end of the 'turning route' heading towards our direction & were about only about 300m away. I got paranoid as im afraid there would be a fight! Thus, I quickly packed the stuffs, carried Ebi into the basket, strapped the poochie pouch on Emma & off we cycle back. Phew, it was a close shave! My heart was thumping so fast on the way back (until we think we were safe & far away enough)! I was so worried that the dogs would come after us or something. I'm sure Emma will scream her lungs off & we'll be so helpless should they decide to attack us or what. :x

Emma got to be in the basket first & Ebi in the poochie pouch for the first 1 hour cycle, afterwhich they will 'change' during the next 1 hour cycling back. Emma was so excited that my buddy had to hold on to her leash tightly even after tying the leash onto the bike! She would stand against the basket once a while & looks ready to 'fly off' anytime! 1/2 way thru, we met a couple with their off-leashed Shih-Tzu & Beagle. Emma was screaming away & getting so excited she tried to 'jumped' off. Luckily the leash were tied onto the bike & my buddy was holding the leash in case it comes loose too, so she remained stuck in the basket. Phew~ Ebi on the other hand could only 'swing' his 4 paws in excitement, in the poochie pouch front-packed by me when he met the new pals. LOL~ Anyway, it was much easier when Emma was in the poochie pouch later on & Ebi in the basket. We could place out trust on him & we did not even tied the leash to him or to the bike. He remained calm throughout~ =)

My precious duos~ It was an enjoyment to bring them out though sometimes it can be pretty troublesome & tiring to handle both. But looking @ how happy & enjoyable they are makes it all worthwhile~~ ("v")

Oh yah, when we were cycling.. it looked like we were the *attractions*. Along the way, we did not see any other dogs travelling in the bicycle basket or any poochie pouch except us! Most of the people that walked/cycled past us exclaimed how cute my dogs were, muahaha~ One angmoh lady even thought i was using a carrier meant for babies to carry Ebi in! She said it looked cool~! Hurhur~

We had fun & im looking forward to the next cycling trip already! I remembered our last cycling trip was with Cobi & Ody, in July last year! Newae, after the 2hrs of cycling , my legs & bum came back aching. Proceeded to Grandma's house thereafter to learn Mahjong while the dogs slept @ home. =)
