ThankQ for Our Awards

hello there..........
we trust that our American friends
 have had a wonderful Thanksgiving

and as mentioned earlier, even though we do
not celebrate Thanksgiving as a nation
that did not stop us from thinking of ALL of you ..eh,
if we were honest, more like
thinking and salivating over your turkey dinner
 and all the goodies bol.........

now that the holiday weekend is over, 
we should have your full attention, yes????

TIME TO THANK OUR FRIENDS 
 who very kindly bestowed the following awards on us



thank you to  Dinah & Bridget 
the two chihuahua girls and their brother Elliot
who live in the North East of England
go visit them as how can you not love them when
they looove horror movies
and  "begging......eh for food" bol......

we also received the same award from Twix
 who together with Sedona gave us THAT  hot night out,
while visiting Twix, do stay and wish her granny
a speedy recovery from her recent surgery

NOW, we couldn't believe it when we received the
same award three times...
this time from our funny friend Doraz
you just HAVE to visit deDoraz for
 that daily dose of funnies.....

i know, i know we are dawgs but
hey, this hooman is dang funny
initially moi was hesitant
to embrace  hoomans into my blogland
but later realized that

we need these crazy hoomans like mumster around
to appreciate being dawgs
and NEVER ever wanting to return as hoomans
in my next life bol.......i'm begging now lord, tq

THIS is the difficult part as i'm supposed to present
 this award to 15 deserving friends
hey, ALL my friends are deserving
so i'm going to hand this over to mumster

shoot, she's chicken and says she's not going to offend anyone
so we gave dadster the job
THAT 3legger is worse and says
"GIVE IT TO ALL YOUR FOLLOWERS"
so like the obedient bitch that i am ( for the first time bol.....)
my followers , please do take this award with all my love


this next award is from my dear friend Max from South Africa


tq Maxi , we are blessed too for having you in our lives
Max is recovering from surgery and his mumster's mum
is in a better place now
but it will take some time for Max's family  to heal
so do go over to help Max return to being the
wonderful tour guide that we miss

i'm supposed to present this award to 5 friends
since i've been such an obedient dawg
with regards to the first award,
( mumster says moi was not obedient but just plain lazy ....)

i'm still NOT going to offend ALL my dawg friends
 since i can't choose
so i'm awarding this to my HOOMAN friends

The Pearl of the Orient - Penang Island

Hello, this is Coco and I would like to share with you our weekend break in Penang Island, a 5 hour drive north of Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia's capital city

But, before that, just to show where we are in relation to the rest of the world,
do enlarge to see the two tiny red dots - that's Malaysia ,
 divided into Peninsular ( that's where we're from ) and East Malaysia


We are separated by 500 km of the South China Sea



We reside in Kuala Lumpur, and we drove up north to Penang Island,
also known  as the "Pearl of the Orient"
look for George Town on the left hand corner

Penang is Malaysia's only island state and is a major holiday destination
many foreigners have also made it their second home



Penang, being an island is linked to the mainland by the Penang Bridge
an eight mile long bridge, the longest in Malaysia and
one of the longest in Asia





some beachfront pics, learn more here





We had a great time eating, eating and eating

there's a lot more to see but because
 we love to eat........
we just ate and ate

We trust you enjoyed this glimpse of our beautiful country
and we hope to share more with you soon

Not Quite Wordless ..........But Definitely a Thankful Wednesday




chikisses

PS:  Hi, de Princess's mumster here.....

She's fine but I 'll have to watch her closely.  What I didn't share earlier was that she did vomit,  was sleeping and urinating more and with that swarm of ants on her pee pads on numerous occasions, I panicked.  The second test was 'iffy'  hence the third test which did not change colour.

What this incident taught me is that I can't take things for granted, she's more delicate than I thought and I just have to be more careful ( did give her sugar occasionally as I was informed that it helps her coat - stupid and ignorant me, I know now....)

The most challenging thing about canine diabetes is the fact that it may not have any symptoms at all

Thank Q for caring

PeePee Ess:  Hey All, today is also my GOTCHA day
this is how I met mumster......

Just An Update..........

Thank Q
to all who enquired about moi.....

I should be fine as I need to redo the urine test AGAIN
I think it has to do with the fact that because
I'm so tiny and delicate ,  whatever is normal for others
is always magnified in moi.....

I just need to fast again and I don't mind another test as
it's a toss up between that or
biting my vet!

He's actually praying very hard for moi NOT to appear............

another day , another test and hopefully
you'll see my funny face tomorrow.......

love you lots,
 cocobr3
pee ess:   did you read that Max had his operation and is doing fine?  I'm soooooo happy 
but he still needs a lot of tender loving care......great news huh? Do  check out Petey's post for the update...

peepee ess:   let's take a moment to thank God for looking after all the other doggies & kitties who still need HIS help ......

We Are Baaaaaaaaad.......

Happy Belated Birthday to my big, brown buddy


I am a terrible friend as I just found out from Life with Dogs that your birthday was yesterday

I trust your day was good......eh , judging from THAT post, I have no doubt, BOL....

chikisses,
cocobr3
pee ess: our thoughts are also with Max and his mumster  and Snickers who need our
support right now......do visit them when you can, TQ

peepee ess:  we will be testing our urine again today and if you don't see another post today, take that as Good news.......

Here's NOT Looking at You Mum............WW15





in support of our dear & beautiful basset friends,



cocobr3
pee ess:  today is Max's surgery .......do say a prayer for him and his family, TQ

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Hello, We Are Well and We Trust You Are Too...

Dear friends, we just learnt that our dear friend Max from South Africa
will be undergoing surgery tomorrow.
Please pray for him and his family and I know HE will be looking after them too,
THANK U


We are  well but sad on learning about Max......
We have not been posting owing to various reasons,
one of which is
we panicked unnecessarily when we suspected

that  deCoco may be diabetic...



Reasons for suspicion:  ugly black ants on her washable pee pads on numerous occasions

Reasons for anxiety:  the princess has had  operations on both knees  for luxated patellas /torn ligament
and because of her size and tiny veins, the vet had difficulty extracting blood from her;
in fact, he gave up trying...
so the thought of a blood test makes us jittery and Coco would probably be
traumatised enough to bite the vet again....

After numerous telephone conversations and fasting her the night before the consultation,

 her wise pedicurist  ( well, that's why deCoco is a princess and we're not, lol....)
suggested testing her urine with  keto/glucose strips.   A glucose-positive test indicates likely canine diabetes; if it shows ketones,  you need to get to the veterinarian right away.

Results:  glucose negative and we are repeating the test again on Monday
meanwhile, no bananas, pears etc just for this week

Hopefully, she does not have to visit the poor panic stricken vet and his assistants for awhile as
they fear this little 3 pounder LOL....


thanks for caring,
lilian &



cocobr3
pee ess:  we also didn't post earlier as we knew the aunties would be worried too
if we didn't have answers......
