Susan is very happy as the weather is finally getting more cool! I don’t mind the heath as much as she does: I have a big tongue to pant with and if I still get hot, I just jump in the water or Susan gives me a nice drink. After that I’m good to go…

This summer, I’ve made many new friends! Little friends, big friend, lazy friends, energetic friends and… naughty friends. We didn’t go on too many hikes in the mountains (it was so hot!), but we went on lots of walks around the villages and visited the beach many times! We ran, played, swam (well, some of…

Last time I promised to tell you more about my summer friends. But this will have to wait as something happened to me: I have an injury.  One morning Susan urged me to get out of my bed so we could go on our morning walk with the other dogs. I reluctantly left my wonderful…

The strangest thing happened: my brothers are gone! One day Susan buckled us up in the car and drove to Whiskers ‘n Paws in Ap Lei Chau. There we ran around for a bit, stretching our legs after the long drive. But after that, my brothers disappeared! I feared Susan forgot about them. Back in the…

I always get very grumpy when I see suitcases and Susan is running around nervously while stuffing them with stacks of clothes. It gives me a bad feeling! A few weeks ago this happened again and sure enough: Susan and husband were leaving me! To go on ‘holiday’! What can be better than just being…

The downside of having my two brothers living with me, is the new bathing schedule. I don’t really understand why, but these boys apparently need to be bathed every week! And while she’s on it, Susan usually showers me too. Poor me. When it was cold, Susan used to lure me into the bathroom with…

As I mentioned before, we’ve got two young boys living with us for a couple of months. I think of them as my brothers by now! We get along great and have a lot of fun with each other (and with the other guests that sometimes come and stay with us, like the nice hairy dog…
