The x random things u need to know about Darcy

1/ He knows and understand the meaning of OUT. So, when he starts barking or doing something unstandable said 'OUT' in a strict voice and point to the area he will be enclosed in.

2/ He knows to pee and poo on his pee tray but from time to time, he will do his marking at somewhere else. Was told not to scold him if we did not catch him in action. DO not pull him to the spot and scold him because he wont know what is wrong. Correct him when possible. Else, keep him in an enclose area till he done his business.

3/ He doesnt like strong scent such as perfume, herbs, essential oil. If he starts biting places that you do not want him to, dab the area with the scent. But remember to re-dab it as when the smell disappear his bad habits will surface.

4/ He likes to sniff armpits and bite your underarms to get your attention. Either play with him or hit his snout or say 'OUT'

5/ Darcy eat twice a day. Kibbles for the time being. If free, you can steam fish+brown rice with more fish den rice. Make sure there is no bones as prevention is better than cure. His feeding time is 9am and 7pm.

6/ Every sat, Darcy will be given a hard boiled egg for breakfast+kibbles. We only give him one egg a week as too much is not good. (dun ask me why)

7/ He likes to tear paper. Tissue, books, newspaper. Whatever he can tear, he will tear. N makes a mess. So keep them out of reach.

8/ Darcy knows that a dinning table has food so he will stand on his hind legs and try to lick whatever is within reach.

9/ He likes to play 'chase a cloth'. He will try to steal out table cloth whenever he can and make you chase him. He was taught 'give' but he still prefer you to chase. Be firm and you shall win.

10/ When Darcy gets too attached to you, he will bark at whoever person who is talking to you. Because he want to participate too. Its cute at times but irritating most times. So, be firm or say 'OUT'.

11/ Darcy has his bath once a week. If you do not want to bath him, you can bring him to the groomer for his weekly bath. He will go for a basic grooming session once a month.

12/ Frontline is apply on him every end of month. He's a panoroid when he sees small bottles that is coming his way. So, be firm or be cunning.

13/ Darcy goes for a walk once a day for an hour. He would act like a spoilt brat and not want to go home most times. My dad tied him to the door once and he sat outside till he's satisfied and willing to come home. I wasnt around at tt time.

14/ He marks a lot on poles and whatnot. When he turn cicle means he wants to poo.

15/ DArcy likes to climb. Stairs or mountain or whatever he can.

16/ He likes to chew cloths and plastic bottle. Keep them out of reach.

17/ He enjoys chewing my dad's glasses, my brother's slippers, his gf psp. Just so u noe.

18/Darcy is only 8 mths old. So is still a puppy. He needs lot of sleep. Thou he is playful. He needs to sleep.

19/ Do not give Darcy any food meant for human consumption. Meaning with oil, salt, sugar or any other preservatives.

20/ Darcy is given fruits now and then. He dun like too sour fruit. He is rather picky. Dun give him grapes or citrus fruit such as oranges and esp rasins. (Dun ask me why) He can eat apple, pear, dragonfruit, durian, banana. But all in small quantity.

21/ He eats carrots too. Raw or steam but not a fantastic lover of them.

22/ He behaves best early in the morning when he's still half asleep.

23/ DO NOT ever gives him cooked bones to chew on. Big or small. CHicken or pork or ehatsoever. DO NOT.

24/ I've not tried giving him raw bones. And will prefer not to unless you are sure that there is no baterial or germs.

25/ I wld prefer feeding him raw bones to cooked bones. But i wld also prefer feeding him no bones to raw bones.

26/ He knows 'Sit' 'Down' 'Crawl'(need food temptation) 'Up' 'Hand' and most importantly 'OUT'

27/ He understands 'drink water' 'mum mum' 'gai gai' 'jie jie'(aka me) 'orh orh'

28/ NEVER EVER feed him chocolate. NEVER EVER. They are fatal to dogs.

29/ Dun give him to much treats as he will not want to eat his kibbles.

30/ Darcy is very lovable and definitely not a devil in a dog's body.

Argg... 1mth flew away just like tt..

today, i die die also must create an entry else i dun noe when else i will update..


i have so so much to tell, but i do noe know where to start, wat to write and watever who where wat?!..!!


So, lets the x random things occurs!!!!


1/ i'm sick of work. wats new? i want more tuitions! such tt i can earn as much as wat i'm earning nw so tt i can quit my job. But, will i?


2/ Darcy's right eye appears to be have some problem. His right eye lid will slowly slowly close while his left is still wide open and staring at u. I did some gentle eye massage but it still does nt go away. Shall wait n see hw tmr. If its getting worst, i wld need to bring him to e VET.


3/ Darcy had stop eating his kibbles as we gave him fish+rice for dinner everynite. It was suppose to be a every now n den meal but my parents started cooking fish+rice for him EVERY NITE resulting in his disinterest in kibbles. (All their fault!!) As we wld be going tw soon, it wld be very troublesome for the kind, helpful, wonderful person to have to cook everynite for darcy. So we started him back on kibbles. N he's still rejecting them. But not as much. A hungry dog is A HUNGRY DOG. Hope he will be back on kibbles by then.


4/ Last last time, my dad saw me talking baby language to Darcy and he called me 'xiao ren' and Darcy 'xiao gou'. Last time, my mum saw my dad talking baby language to Darcy and she looked at dad n shakes her head. Last nite, i caught mum talking baby language to Darcy. Me, i was => -_-!!!


5/ I used to bring Darcy out for a walk about 1-2 times per wk. Now tt my mum had stop working, dad brings Darcy out almost EVERYDAY. I'm serious, ALMOST EVERYDAY. Me, i was => -_-!!!


6/ Note: This is a repeated event. Its does not happen by chance. I was watching tv in e living room, on my fav sofa, relaxing and partially stoning. Suddenly Darcy started barking at dad or mum. Dad will rise/emerge frm wherever he was, stop watever he was doing and scold Darcy den proceed to chase Darcy around the living room. (Note: This is suppose to be a scolding session but turns to playtime for Darcy n dad) Their fav part, is to circle around me, Darcy takes me as his pillor of support, Dad treats me as a trap(to trap Darcy). They will play hide and seek around me and dad frm scolding will become laughing. Me, i was => -_-!!!


7/ Frm Darcy, i learnt that when one become desperate, he can make the impossible possible. Example: Darcy n dad was playing hide and seek around me (as usual). I was sitting on my fav sofa stoning at the tv. Dad had seal up most of Darcy's escape routes. Darcy, unwilling to admit defeat, with his ciga-lookalike-bone hanging frm the side of his mouth suddenly make a jump at me. So sudden was his leap that i raise my arms as a shield for my face thinking that he will smack straight in my face but the next second he was gone. Darcy had jump on to me and flew over the headrest landing on the open space behind my sofa. Dad and i was shocked for a second and for once, Dad declares Darcy the winner of the Day.


8/ For those who knows of my difficulties of getting a dog in the past, wld know tt my dad was the main 'problem'. He was the one who said NO. N he being a person who seldom say NO to me makes this NO a rather significant NO. So, seeing how much he has bonded with Darcy makes me realised that not listening to parents all the time might just be a wise thing to do.

9/ 2 mths back, Dad asked me to take a pict of Darcy n him, just like the black and white photo he had taken with his previous dog. Dad showed me that photo the other nite and i said 'I dun think u can squat tt low now' hahahhaaa... Me was fun..

10/ I borrowed 4 bks frm e library 2 sundays back. Their title being 'Out of the blue - romance in Crete' , 'Anyone but you - romance+dog' , 'Animal's Ppl - True Life Account of an Indian boy in Khaufpur' and lastly 'The women of Pemberley - Sequence to Pride & Prejudice'. When i was loaning this 4 bks, i cant help but feel how diff these 4 bks are. Other than the first 2 where they are romance but one is wrt travel and one is on dog (tt was wat caught my attention). The other is a biography and one is simply a literature. I didnt read the brief outline at e back of e book when i was choosing them, i simply look at the (1)title and colour of e book and (2) flip to the first page and read the first few lines. No point in killing the story by knowing what half the book will be about or when the auther is just nt my cup of tea. So, if the cover is attractive enough and the first few lines dun make me yawn/sleep. Yup, i'd gotten my book.

11/ I started on the dog book first which took me 4 mrt trips to finish. Then the Crete one which took me almost a wk of mrt trip + a friday nite. Now i'm on my Animal's ppl. Its lettering are slightly smaller, the pages are thinner and the book is thicker than e first 2. That was how i decide wat to read first. I'd thought i wldnt be able to survive the first part of the book but i was wrong. This is a good read thou it requires more concentration power than e other 2. But its still an interesting book to read. So, go get it!

12/ Facebook is a dangerous tool. esp if your fellow colleagues n team leader are ur friends. They wld know wat u had been doing last wkend or how drank u were. No good! No excuses to use the next time they ask u to go drinking. I cant say ' ermm.. i dun drink' hahahah

13/ I went to mentoring last sat. Was called up e previous sat by my mentee n asked to come. But who knows, i postpone one tuition and went but he has to go for flag day. Sigh.. I miss mentoring. I miss acting like a 20yrs old and playing w them. Some new mentors even thought tt i was 17. haa.. those was e days.

14/ Watched 'He's not tt into you' some wks back and i strongly reccomend to ALL girls out tt esp for those singles. Cause, i got a wake up call frm it. Seriously. Watch it and u will understand. 2 things every girl shld know: 1. Nv cut ur own fringe. 2. watch e show urself to find out.

Time to sleep! Hope i will update soon!!
