Buttercup - Dog Training 101 Update #1

It's been a little more than 2 weeks since the last post, and in that 2 weeks, here's Buttercup's progress update :-

Old tricks she can perform anytime :-

(i) Sit
(ii) Hand shake (left paw, right paw, and left paw again)

Old tricks she can perform when she's in a good mood :-

(iii) Down
(iv) Stay
(v) Fetch
(vi) Pick-a-hand (treat/toy is hidden in hand, i put both hands out, she picks the hand with
the treat/toy)

Old tricks she can perform only when she's in a good mood and you have treats in your hand :-

(vii) All of the above;
(viii) Roll over (currently a half roll - but we're working on it).

Short term goal :-

(i) Buttercup to perform all tricks listed above ANYTIME when asked.
(ii) A full "Roll Over"

Long Term goal :-

(i) Play dead


That's it for now folks!

Will be updating this page constantly, as and when she progresses!

Wish us luck!

Buttercup - Dog Training 101

The saying goes "You can't teach an old dog new tricks".

Well I say, tricks like "sit" "stay" "fetch" and "hand shake" have been around for AGES, so technically, these aren't "new" tricks.

So I've decided to challenge the saying... by teaching my old white muzzled little Buttercup, some tricks.... but I'll promise to avoid the "new" ones, like making her surf the internet, or fetch my iPhone....

Updates to come.

67-ism - The Teachings and Philosophy of Us 67s

What is 67-ism? Here:

1. Argue with your unreasonable and crazy bosses.
2. Leave your workplace on-the-dot.
3. Start packing 30 minutes earlier.
4. Avoid all potatoes whenever possible.
5. Take your lunch work hour and spend it doing non-work related stuff.
6. @#$%^& while pointing middle finger at your boss!!! Pack your stuff and never come back.
7. Be cool whenever possible.

67 Klang Session

The ever procrastinating IonBuck finally got to upload the photos of our 67 dinner gathering last Saturday in Klang. This is the place that we went:How did we know how to get there? None other than our Klang dwelling 67, Booker, of course! WoonCC aka OT drove the Assman and myself to Klang and met up with Booker and a potential 67. During our drive to Klang, we witnessed this romantic sunset. Too bad there were only males in the car. :(
When we finally reached the restaurant, the waiters and waitresses just kept dishing out the dishes pre-ordered by Booker. Gasp! She even booked a table! She really knows how to make us feel like VIPs! :D

Here's a different kind of chicks. :P

And Booker even got something really special for OT. Orh chien! Specially bungkus-ed from some other part of Klang!
This Klang visit was totally full of surprises, even for Booker herself. She bumped into her relatives and one that looked like Maggie Cheung! Half way through our dinner, Booker's relatives brought cakes for our desserts!
BURP! Here's the end result of the fantastic meal:
Photos posted for the benefit of Andrewk who did not manage to join us last week. Oh yeah, we also had toddy... coconut wine, I think. We mixed it with Guinness Stout, a tip from the potential 67!
BURP! Thanks, Book!

The dark one

He is so dark, it's so difficult to get a good shot of him with my samsung camera. Above photo shows how grainy it is after using photoshop to brighten it.



Here's 2 more pic of mr. dark (no he doesnt have a name yet). By far this is the most obedient puppy i have ever had. Barely a month old yet he seems to understand to command. And yes, he doesnt pee or shit indoor (Y).......... yet.

New York!!! New York!!!

As we were about to attack the unattackable....

The burger strikes back! And it went for assman's finger!
