The best friends

April 8, 2009

This post is going to sound a little constipated because only when I started writing, I realised that I dont have that much to say. And it was supposed to be posted yesterday but something went wrong with wordpress.

These are the 2 rascals.. Black and Spot (their names are very literal).

IMG_8227 Taken at Yukon – one of our stops while we were in Alaska. I think he’s pretty accustomed to people hugging him and taking pictures because not only doesn’t he squirm when I hugged him, he gamely smile at the camera! I miss him! He must still be getting alot of hugs everyday at the other end of the world.

I’ve actually wanted to post this entry for some time, just that I havent had the time to do so. And just today, as I was writing up the post, Ting told me that Austen, her 5-year-old golden retriever passed away in the morning. To say that my heart dropped to my stomach was an understatement; and there wasn’t anything much I could say in consolation. =(  Though I don’t know Austen that well, I remember him as a very amicable dog who has a very comfortable relationship with people. It’s always hard to lose something so dear.

    Funny Conversation with Taxi Driver about Golden Retriever

    Early morning when on the way to work.

    Driver: *honk at Black Hairy Dogs along the Orchard Road*
    Driver: Aiya, see this black dogs, never smile back at me. So unfriendly. Usually if I see dogs, I will honk them and see if they smile at me.
    Me (thought to myself): *HUH??!!!? Dogs can react to honks? siao!
    Me: How do u see if the dogs smile? The hair all cover the face liao mahz…
    Driver: Golden Retrievers if you honk at them right, they will open their mouths and like panting like that lorz…like smiling at me mahz…
    Me: Oh ok..interesting
