Of Wishes Come True

We got our Christmas waffles! But not before Missy made us wait for pictures to be taken.

‹ I know, we look pathetic.

But for these buttermilk waffles with › strawberry whipped cream and blueberries,

the wait is well worth it!

And here are this year's Christmas pictures. We start with a series on jie jie:

I don't know why Missy titled this series 'Our English Rose' but she thought it felt like it. Hmm ... I think it's got to do with the cushy covers.

Here's a Sisters series:

And finally, just me:

This year's colour is white so jie jie and I wore a white ribbon each only on one side, just like Celia!

Sweets For The Sweet

Missy has been baking furiously this past week so if you've received any of these sweets, know that you've been a sweetie as jie jie and I have been this year and this is Missy's way of saying, 'Thank you'.

And don't fret if you haven't received any. Missy just can't seem to bake enough of these and of course, according to her, it doesn't help that jie jie and I are constantly hovering around with 'Precious Moments' looks appealing for a nibble or two. Honestly, if you asked me, how much can two little poodles eat? Oh well ......

Here's wishing y'all a blessed blessed Christmas filled with much love, joy and merriment!

With love,

Daisy & Waverly

We've Been Christmas Tagged!

Apparently, there's some Christmas tagging going around and thanks to T-man *winks*, we're now part of the great tagging game! Here are the 3 simple rules to go by:

Rule 1: List 3 things you would love to get for Christmas.

Rule 2: List 3 things you definitely would not want to get for Christmas.

Rule 3: Tag 5 friends and list their names. Write 'You have been Christmas tagged' on their blogs and tell them to read your blog. Your friends who get tagged will need to list their Christmas wishes on their blogs, as well as state rules 1 to 3 clearly. They then need to tag 5 more friends.

Here goes:

3 things we would love to get for Christmas:

1. For a start, how about some nice, warm, homemade breakfast waffles? Missy's been

promising us waffles but never get them done!

2. Lots and lots of cuddles from the Grands, Sissy G, Sissy S and of course Missy.

3. Sit down to a yummy family Christmas feast!

3 things we definitely do not want to get for Christmas:

1. Well, we definitely don't want to be sick in any way. No upset stomach, no aches and pains

etc etc.

2. No baths.

3. And definitely not to be left home alone.

5 friends we are tagging:

Fable, Herbie, Momi, Mango & Party.

Hey guys, you've been Christmas tagged!

What A Beautiful Morning! I Should Be At...

the beach, no less! And of course I had my way! First, Missy packs our gear:

Life jackets

Beach caps

Towels

Water bottle

p.s. The tanning spray is Missy's. Why she delights in being baked as red as a lobster is beyond me.

And we're all set!

Here's a very happy me! ›

Jie jie and I had lots of fun! Here are some pictures to show:


	‹ I check out the waves while jie jie enjoy the sea breeze. Hey wave, catch me if › you can!

How To Tell If Waverly Is Well Again?

Re-hi everyone! I've been taking it easy the past week. The Grands and Missy have been watching me like a hawk, looking out for every little sign of progress in my recovery. As a matter of fact, Missy came up with this chart. It's called:

The Missy Guide To Waverly's Recovery

	Liquids	Solids	Treats	Play
Day 1	P
Day 2 & 3	P	P
Day 4	P	P	P
...... and the Ultimate test
Day 5	P	P	P	P (Yippee!)

More illustrations ......

‹ Waverly doesn't play. The toy basket is

untouched.

Waverly is well again and wrecks a healthy havoc! ›

So there, I'm all well and dandy again! Whooppee!

In celebration and as a reward for being good and getting well, Missy baked jie jie and I a Sponge Cake. With strawberry jam! Mmm....YUMMY!

What's best after a nice treat?

Sleep.

Over and out,

Waverly

Sick

I am sick, I am sick, I am sick sick sick. Think the pork soup bone on Saturday really did it for me. My tummy started feeling all tight and bloated. I couldn't sit or lie down or sleep. Finally, at 5am on Sunday morning, I threw up. On Missy's bed.

Missy was so good. She told me it was alright and set about cleaning up right away without a grouse. I felt so bad but just as she was done, I did it again. On the bed again. And there was even more crap this time. I couldn't help it!

So again Missy had to get up and clean up the mess and changed the sheets. My crap was so foul it almost made her sick too. The washer went into overdrive that morning and protested so violently Missy thought it was going to blow.

I still couldn't sleep after that. Missy stayed up with me till 8am when she finally succumbed to exhaustion. I still wasn't better when she woke at 11am. Missy decided then it was off to the vet we go.

After having my temperature taken (read: thermometer stuck up my fanny), an x-ray, a jab, some antacids and $205, I was able to go home. Dr Pearson said if I kept my liquids down, I should be ok in a day or two.

I finally found sleep, which had eluded me almost an entire day and night, when I came home. Now now, this is big deal for a poodle who abides by her bedtime of 10pm.

I'm feeling much better today and can get up and walk around more. I've passed out some poop which Missy described as being much like dry soil *gross* but is a good sign nevertheless. I've also found a little strength to hold my tail up for a wag. But Grandpapa, Grandmama and

Missy say I'm still not my usual bubbly self. I do not play when jie jie initiates a game of fetch. I won't have any treats. Missy thinks I've lost weight!

Oh boy do I want to get well soon! I miss life! I miss prancing about! And I feel so sorry for Missy who looks so worried and sad. I hear she has plans for us on Wednesday! Dear God, please make me well again soon!

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Bejewelled

Missy went bananas at the Metro private sale recently and among the stuff she busted on were some very pretty Chomel necklaces! And being the doting Missy she is, Missy let jie jie and I wear the necklaces even before she does!

ˆ Here's us! Jie jie is wearing the heart shaped pendant while I sport

the butterfly one. Which one's prettier? Mine! Mine!

Sparkles,

La Vie En Rose

ˆ A rose I plucked off my new toy, Doll Suzy, from Sissy S. Missy caught me skipping

around with it in my mouth and was so tickled she decided to take this series, that

is, before I eat up the rose!

Here's a treat! Listen to Sissy S and Missy's current favourite tune:

A Message From Missy

Dear Friends and Fellow Dog Lovers,

Animal Lovers League's (ALL) calendar for 2007 is out! ALL is dedicated to the cause of rescuing and providing a safe, no-kill shelter to stray cats and dogs. Please support ALL's cause by purchasing their new calendar. The calendar's unique design allows you to add a personal touch of creativity.

Here's what I did with mine. ›

	‹ A close-up.
Get yours now and let your creative juices flow! On a related note, remember, folks, never ever buy puppies from pet shops and pet farms. The puppies may be cute (they will always be for all puppies are cute, regardless of how poorly bred or how unhealthy they are) and alluring, but remember their parents, grandparents and siblings suffering behind the scenes. Do not perpetuate their suffering by making the business profitable for the unscrupulous breeders. If you are, or know of someone, looking for a new addition to the household, please give your consideration to the strays and abandoned dogs. They deserve a second chance. Right by the dogs, Trish

Daisy, My Superstar Sister

She ain't just the queen, my jie jie. She was once a TV personality too! Did you know that my jie jie, Daisy, once appeared on Channel News Asia's 'Thinking Animals'? Missy happened to be sorting out her rack of CDs the other day when she came across this old recording from back in 2001! Thanks to YouTube, we are now able to share jie jie's five minutes of fame. Pleasant viewing!

Now do you know why I'm so in awe of jie jie?

The Day Missy Left Me Behind

'Fare thee well, Waverly' were Missy's last words to me before she bundled up jie jie and left me. I whimpered piteously after them and tried with all my might to climb over the gate to go after them but Missy would not look back.

There now, it was just Grandmama and me from now on. She picked me up and tried to pacify me but I was inconsolable. As the sad fact set in that Missy and jie jie were no more, I cried even harder and louder, crumbling the walls and bringing the whole house down into the pits of my little broken heart.

Why did Missy have to go? Why had she picked jie jie and not me? Will I never see them again?

Such were the rhetorical questions that weighed heavily on my young mind. Fatigue caught up with me and sleep soon embraced me......

Hush! I hear the jingling of keys! Shuttering between dreams and reality, was that Missy's sweet musical voice I hear? Was I dreaming? There's jie jie, looking freshly groomed and more beautiful than ever. Then I heard Missy calling out to me, 'Waverlyyy....'. Missy was back! And jie jie too! Oh happiness! Who should I greet first?

I learned later that Missy hadn't forsaken me at all. They had both gone to be groomed was all. Missy had her toenails painted while jie jie had the full works. Sigh...the exploits of the untamed young mind......Oh well!

Nevertheless, to make up for lost time, I cuddled with Missy all night long.

Yours warmly,

Waverly

			WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2006 \| COMMENTAIRE Helloooo, World! After five long years of plannin' but ne'er gettin' to updating my jie jie's website, Missy finally decided to just start afresh with a new blog-like webby! It’s toughie for Missy to do anything because she’s such a perfectionist! She wouldn’t even have a standard blog as it doesn’t allow her to personalise it. Poor Missy…. Anyhoo, here I am! Helloooo, World!
				My name is Waverly, really Waverly Daffodils Leigh. Ain't it a pretty name? I'm a Hillani Poodle. I'm cute as a button. I'll soon turn two but Missy thinks I'm still such a baby. I suppose I have what people call a baby face. Look ye'! ‹ That’s me monkeying around on my Missy’s bed.

			This is my jie jie, Daisy, really Daisy La Plus Jolie, which means Daisy the Beautiful. Fancy eh, she's got a title and everything. She's quite the ice princess, my jie jie. 'Got loads of attitude and airs, very uppity and queenly. But oh, how she mesmerises. Just one look from her and everyone's ready to swoon at her paws! That's my jie jie for you. I love her, though, for despite being the queen she is, she indulges me most times, lets me have her toys, lets me take over her favourite beauty nap spots and lets me poke my nose in her food!	^
			Here's jie jie looking pretty in her brand new custom made collar, a gift from Auntie A. Does she not look ethereal?

			Okies, I gotta sign off now. Missy and I will be updating this site more over the next few days so watch this space! See ya’ later, Waverly
