Enzo & Dazzle Get-together

Its been such a while since we've had the time to update Enzo's Blog Site. Armed with New photos of Enzo and his new found Best friend, I've decided to do a quick update !!

Hiya Dazzle! Wanna play Chase?

Here we go !!! You jump Left, I Jump Right!

Dazzle's Mom & Dad

Run too much hor Dazzle, or seeking protection for Kor kor Enzo.

After a Good Run, Dazzle's smilling  away!

So when can i go out and play again?? 

Lou Hei Day

My family came over for a short Gathering. Enzo was busy running after everyone for treats...

anyway, had a few shots which came up abit blurred. Promise to take better shots next time =)

- just dun click on the shots =p

Pasir Ris Pet Run

Its Friday and We're on Leave for CNY break. Decided to bring Enzo out to Meet Kirby!

Enzo Jumping over the Grill (finally) - Shots abit blur though.

Thats Me with Enzo

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.

Merry Xmas 2008

Pasir Ris sheltie gathering

Met up with sheltie owners over the weekend, din really get to catch too many nice shots as i was too busy trying to get Enzo's Attention... haiz. Failed miserably.. Plus Now i Know for a fact that he HATES the drain more then anything in his small little world.

He'd rather Make a big round between fields, Skip his favourate Treats or meals, JUST in  order to avoid the damn drain, or ANYTHING that remotely looks or feels like a drain. 

- Anyway, here's some shots of the other Shelties that were around  

I missed alot of other dogs that were around, apologies in advance, esp to Wally/Reyla/Diva. Next time =p

Shots of Enzo

Been taking pictures of Pungolia , managed to squeese in a few more exposures for Enzo over the weekend. He's been thoroughly punctured on Saturday at the Dog run in Pasir Ris. First time out in the run with other dogs. Was alittle afraid at first but he caught on very quickly. It didnt take long before he bacame best buddies with a year old Shih Tzu and cute little Jack russell. 

ECP

Inspite of the fear of Ticks, we brought him down to ECP anyway. He got lucky cuz I needed to be in Eunos in the morning and din wanna leave him behind on a Saturday. So Claire and I decided to bring him along at very short Notice. 

We found a nice patch of grass that was secluded enuogh for him to exercise alittle. And as you can see in the pictures above, he had a chance to really show me the meaning of Enzo. He's Fast. Very fast. =)

After running non stop, u can see his tongue totally sticking out. =p

Enzo in Wide

Beens awhile since i posted and again its Saturday, So here are some morning Wide angle shots that were taken mins agos =)

Enzo's been dropping teeth the whole week. Yesterday, whilst chewing on his fav treat, he dropped a Molar! Ouch... 

Some workplace shots

Guess what i found

The fields of Punggolia

The fields of Punggolia are vast and wide. of course, in Singapore, "Vast and Wide" roughly translate to about the size of a football field.

Brought Enzo down for a short walk around the fields and whilst he was abit apprehensive at first, it didnt take long before he got comfortable and roamed the fields as if it were his own personal Playground.

Enzo & the AUTOFEEDER!

Been awhile since i've Updated ENZO's Blogsite. So here's a recent picture (5 mins ago) of Enzo after running all over the house.

We've been thinking about Enzo and how fast he's growing up. Of course, as he grows, he'll need more sustainance to keep him big and healthy! Our schedule doesnt allow us to come back during lunch and it'll spoil him anyway, so the NEXT BEST OPTION is a new accuired AUTO FEEDER!

This must be one of the coolest Auto feeder. It actually allows Us to record a short message before rotating the food dish out. Can Feed up to 4 meals a day, of course, we only use 1 or 2 feedings to keep him happy!

Foxy enzo

Enzo's growing up at an alarming rate! These days he's becoming
defiant as he's getting more comfortable with his territory.

The good news is that he's not like this evey day so we've termed this
defiant behaviour ENZO Mode. If he's not in this mode , he'd come to u
when called and yearns for attention. Otherwise , he'd look at u and
totally ignore ur calls !

Anyone has any advise on this , I'm all ears :)

Enzo's knocked out after shots

Enzo weighs in at a healthy 5.5kg =)

Saturday morning

It's finally the weekends which means that i've got some Daylight time at home haha. Soft morning lights creates very good lighting conditions for Enzo shooting!! 

Here's Enzo pondering furiously on what time his next meal's gonna be. I'm sure though, that he's also wondering why are we still around when we should be at work at this time. By being around, we're essentially disrrupting his favourite pastime whilst we're at work. Creating Armageddon in the kitchen...

Enzo's New Toys - Courtesy from Doting Brother.

Finally, internet connection's back online. And it time yet again to post some pictures!! My brother dropped by to give Enzo some toys to play with.  

Apparently, Enzo Loves tearing at his new toy, hopefully, this takes channels away some of his destructive energy! 

Here's Enzo catchin me off guard while I tried to take a picture of him with his toys. check out his tongue, must be thinking that i have some treats with me haha

Anyway, the good news is, Enzo's getting used to the routine and no longer barks!!! Phew! And he's been such a good boy at night too. 

Its been 2 weeks and I honestly cannot rememeber how we managed to get pass week 1!! He's so different now. Very comfortable with his territory and getting used to his routine! 

Enzo Updates and stupid Starhub..

Enzo's been at it again. Apparently he's found a few friends in the house. His friends are actually his reflections in the mirror. And, like all dogs, Enzo goes ballistic when he sees himself in the mirror and thinks that its another puppy haha. We'd usually let him have his fun for awhile, give him a good workout chasing himself around the house.
Toilet training is now becoming a treat Session for him! Our smart boy now Pees deliberately on the papers to get treats from us?! Just the other day, he went about his business and after which, motioned for me to look at his acheivement haha. Naturally, he's expecting a treat, and u can tell this by looking at the way he sits down obediently , looking up at u with anticipation haha.
We're cutting down on the mini treats now anyway.
On the subject of barking in the evenings, it looks like we've not much choice. He's still at it, but, I'll be installing a Camera to monitor him remotely. Gota know why he's barking at 4~5pm. He's silent thruout the day I think. We've checked on him on the weekends.
AND Finally, I wasn't able to post nice pictures for the last few days Cuz STARHUB stupid broadband is giving me problems! I've little or no internet connection at all. Gonna call them up later and Butter them!

Enzo's trail of Destruction

The weekends take forever to come but left in the blink of an eye...Anyway, Enzo's been starting to teeth badly and the above table is his latest chew toy..Other then that, he's made alot of progress and doesn't howl or wake us up in the middle of the night phew.. the only thing left is his barking which happens only when we're not around for a prolonged period of time.
