King Enzo


Enzo got covered in Sheepskin from Ikea. And he looks like Royalty haha. The best part of it all was that he didnt even look like he minded the sheepskin! He just sat there and poised for the shot 

Tomorrow's CNY eve. Claire and I have been so busy packing that we didn't really spend too much time with Enzo. Then again, Enzo's a Self Entertaining dog. He'll follow either of us around of the house until he got tired or play with his toys until he got sick of em'. 

Its about time to go for Dinner, havent really had much time to capture some moment of Enzo doing his Goondoo stuff. Will probably have more time during Cny Week.  Which REMINDS me, I gotta teach Enzo to do the GONG Xi Trick, see if he'll bring in some Ang Pows to pay for his Dog food this month haha!

Another Saturday Morning and killer drain grills

Its finally Saturday!! Been a really hectic week at work and Fortunately, Enzo's been a real angel this week. 

The Yogi Pee Tray works like a charm and he's been very accurate and consistent with his business. That means that we no longer have to contend with messy stained newspapers that occasionally ends up being torn and tattered. Amageddon gets contained in a a plastic tray called Yogi =)

So far, Enzo's training behaviour has been consistent. He requires a strong hand and most of the time, thats all it takes. He's smart and he knows what he doesnt like or want.

Take the normal Pedestrain "killer"  Grill covers for example. He hates it.  Plain and simple.  One look and he stops DEAD in his tracks. More recently, we found that, he actually Remembers the location of the grill as Claire walks him fairly often these days in the evenings. Enzo will remember that there's a drain grill at the end of the passageway leading to the Lift lobby that brings him home. So when he hits the start of the passageway, even before seeing the grill, he Stops in his tracks. 

In order to correct this "Sca-di-Kat" behaviour, I've been forcefully draggin him across the drains grill. Any and EVery drain grill i see, I force him across. It took about 30 drain grill and consistent dragging , pulling, tugging and forcing for him to finally realise that, Hey - drain grills ain't gonna Kiap my delicate paws!  

So, now, he happily skips across drain grills without much hesitation. It makes walking him simplier cuz  we dun have to carry him across every now and then. Hmm.. i wonder if i can make him take out the garbage......

Happy New Year !



Havent been updating much on Enzo cuz of all the festivities and merry making.  So here are Shots of Enzo in his Proud looking state. - Fact is, he was staring out the window, pondering about why birds fly and Trains move i'm sure.

My Buddy's Getting a PUPPY!  Here's a Preview.


Yogi Pee Tray Vs Pee tray with Newspaper



Recently, We've moved him from the old Pee tray with newspaper to the Yogi Pee tray. So far, he's been more willing to use the Yogi mat then the Pee tray with Grill. Enzo hates anything that remotely resembles grill... and in order to keep the mess more contained, we had to move to bite the bullet and move to another system quickly.

The migration of systems wasnt / isn't  easy though. As usual, he threw his usual trantrums of not wanting to have anything to do with the Yogi pee tray and peed/Poo'd at his own disposition. 

However, we were more resolute in getting him up the Yogi Pee tray rather then the Pee tray with Grill (since he has phobia even standing on the darn grill)

So after 1 full day of painful correction, he's more willing to Pee / Poo on the Pee tray now. Just have to see what happens tomorrow when we're not around. 

- On a side note, the Yogi Pee tray doesnt seem to be able to contain Enzo's Waste for a full day.. so i'm not sure how thats gonna work out.
