Fun Weeknds~!

-= Saturday, 04 April 2009 =-

Yippee! The weekends were well-spent with the dogs~!

Saturday morning, brought Ebi for the prawning session that we've planned since last week, along w/ my buddy. Drove my parents to work @ 6am, reached back home nearly 6.45am, took a shower & brought Ebi out of the house. Did not bring Emma along as she's easily excitable (what if.. she scares away the prawny prawns? Or, if she eats up the jumping prawns? lol~) Newae, i doubt i can handle both dogs since i'll be focusing on the 'prawn pond', thus i only brought Ebi along with us.. shall bring Emma along next time. =)

There were slightly more than 5 people when we reached. Ebi was excited & busy sniffing the grounds & checking out the other humans there. We paid @ the counter, took the rods & the baits and went to the pond. Settled down, hook the bait onto the rods & started our prawning. The staffs there were friendly & the uncles were calling out to Ebi~ So, i unleashed him to let him roam & asked him to stay close. He went roaming around, checking out the ponds, asking those Uncles for rubs rubs & played with the staffs.. Then, their 'resident dog' - a mini german shephard (GS lookalike) came out & ran over to checkout on Ebi. I was on alert & called to Ebi, telling him 'friend friend ok'..~ They did not fight but played. The resident dog was very friendly & they teased each other & played chase. =)


Prawning!

Catches of the day!

Though the catches were little & was abit disappointing. But overall, we had loads of fun & Ebi enjoyed himself as well~! Will definately be back again, together with Emma this time round. Perhaps we could do it @ night, so we can BBQ the prawns on spot, chill & relax with ice-cold beer. Yummmmmmmmm!

It was the Class 95 Dog Walk @ Bishan Park! Weather was great in the early morning, thus decided to bring the duos there. Left the house @ 7.30am to fetch my cousin & headed straight to Bishan Park thereafter. Josephine sms-ed me as i was reaching & told me carpark was very full! Boohooz, it was only 8.10am leh..~ Anyway, i dropped my cousin & Ebi off @ the bus-stop first while i have to make a u-turn upfront & park at the hawker centre carparks opposite. It was only after 30mins of turning around & waiting before i finally parked the car! Moi couzzie managed to get a goodie bag for Ebi & i met them @ the gate near the registration counter, waiting for the walk to start. There was such a longggggg queue for the goodies bag, 300 bags were all snapped up pretty fast!

I met Gary+Kat with their schnauzers & we happened to be first in line, right behind the DJ's to start the walk. LOL~ Gary unleashed Julius & left him to roam free while Glenn Ong got Julius to 'lead' the walk with all the other doggies behind, haha~ There were soooo many people & dogs that when we were approaching the finishing line, we need to stop & take a break becoz the 'line of people & dogs' were still walking the roundabout & we need to let them pass before we can continue. Amazing!

We proudly finished the walk & went ahead into the dog-run area to cool down & let the dogs roam & mingled around. Weather was so freaking hot & all of us were sweating like mad. Ebi & Emma were panting like no tomorrow & they quickly finished up the bottle of water i brought. Phew~~!!

Met Lille w/ her dotters & Ollie, her standard poodle there too! Awwwww~ look @ how big this boy has grown!! I've seen him grown from a puppy into an adult!



Ebi & Emma, finished the walk. Walking to the carpark & heading home!

After the walk, it was home after breakfast, followed by a damn heavy downpour with non-working traffic lights (at cross junction!), very very bad visibility on the roads - can only rely strictly on the headlights of the car infront & the lines on road, small floods & many lightning strikes. Im glad i made it home safely with the duos. Then, it was time to vaccumm & clean the house before proceeding to bath/blowdry & dematt the dogs. After all these, it was time to wash & clean the hamster cage, changing their litter & eg. I finally got to rest @ 7pm.. Gosh! Very tired indeed!

Fun-filled weekends~ Am totally happy & im glad the dogs & i enjoyed ourselves. Seeing how much they enjoyed themselves & having fun, beats more than anything no matter how tired i am~! ("v")
