Being Scolded

No... I did not had my ears chopped off. Both of my ears are fine, I just hid it backward. This is how I would look when I'm being scolded.

When I do something wrong, they would scold me to teach me a lesson. It's fine by me. This look I have here is when I know they are really mad at me. I get scared and this is how I'll look. I can distinguish the level of how mad they are. Usually, I'd look like this if Mommy scolds me. I'm scared of her the most.

I will push my ears back and will avoid eye contact if I'm scared. Can I tell you a secret? The reason why I hide my ears is that I'm trying to mute their loud voice. When they are mad, they're voices becomes louder and this helps turn down the volume.

It takes a while for them to let out their anger... If they still won't calm down, then it's time for me to bring out my last trick...

I pretend to be sleepy. When they're all serious scolded me, I try to act as if I'm getting sleepy. Do not try this at home if you're an amateur. Pretending to be sleepy makes them think you got bored with what they are saying and they will scold you more. I am an expert with acting sleepy so this usually works for me. They'd  stop scolding me and laugh.

Before and After

Look how times flies by so fast. Do I still look like the tiny puppy in the "before" picture? 

The "Before" picture was taken when I was about a month and a half old. Beside me is my very first toy, "Hippo". 

Three and a half years later, I have grown up to be a cute dog. If you noticed, I wasn't the only one who grew  up in the picture, Hippo also grew up.

The "Good Girl"

This is my "Good Girl" look. Why did I named it that? Because this is what I do when I am begging for food. Sometimes, I see them eating snacks on the couch, and I have to pretend to be a good girl so they'd give me some. I'd rest my snout on the arm rest of the couch, or, if I can get close enough, I'd rest it on their lap. This makes me look like a good girl. No one taught me this, I came up of this on my own.

This look isn't exactly a brilliant idea, because, it doesn't always work.

Dry Clean

Bath times make me hide under the coffee table, literally. As much as I try so hard to hide, it's no use, they can always pull me out and carry me to my doom. The water isn't the only thing I hate when it comes to my baths. Aside from that, I also hate being dried.

I am a bit fluffy, and being fluffy takes a while to dry up. Because the climate is hot here, using a blow dryer to do the job would only make me feel hotter than I already am. Instead, they dry me off with an electric fan.

That picture isn't exactly how they dry me off. They would usually sit me up on a stool that's in front of an electric fan then brush me over and over again. Without the stool, if they leave me on the floor, I'd definitely run away. 

In that picture, they finished drying me off, but, I can feel that my fur is still wet, so, I just lied down in front of a fan to dry my fur. See, I'm learning to do things on my own now. 

Listening

Sometimes, I am not aware that what I'm going is wrong.

This is how I look like when people are talking to me. This was when Jennifer was explaining to me that what I was doing was wrong. If you must know, I was trying to dig a whole out of the bed. 

That's my face when I am listening attentively. See how serious my face looks? And at the same time, you can tell that I am listening to every word they are telling me.

I'm Sinking....

I forgot to tell you about this picture...

It was summer time when they took this shot. If you read my blog, then you know that I take a bath inside the bathroom, so, you might be wondering what I'm doing in a sink. It all started like this...

Summer time can be extremely hot sometimes. Not only me who gets hot, but everyone. Our kid neighbors usually take a dip in inflatable kiddie pools to cool off. For some reason, Jennifer and Kimberly thought it would be a good idea to do it to me too. Since I cannot be in an inflatable pool without me popping it like a balloon, they came up with this idea to fill up the huge sink we have and let me sit inside there for a while.

I'm not sure if they are making fun or me or if they really thought it's a brilliant idea. If you can see, I do not like it. I am afraid of water, I don't even like baths, so, why would they think I would want to waste my time inside a sink filled with water?

This experience scared me to death. The water is just shallow, it only covers my legs, but when I'm seated down (which Kim forces me to do), the water reaches up to my neck. They thought I'm loving the water when I was seated very still in there.

After that horrifying experience, they decided to bathe me inside the sink as well. And to get back at what they did to me, there's only one way for me to take my revenge...

Shake and splash them with water!

The Different Faces of Coco

If you do not own a pet, chances are, you don't know that, just like you, we also have facial expressions. You would know how I am feeling just by looking at my face. How else will you understand my feelings when I do not have the ability to talk. So, I decided to show my different faces just so you'd understand my point.

This is how I ordinarily looks. No facial expression there. It's just my normal face.

I usually have this normal look when nobody is bothering me.

Here you can obviously tell that I am sleepy. (For those of you guessing that I look drunk then you are ridiculous.) Look at how my eyes are drooping. I wish Jennifer would leave me alone and let me sleep, but she won't stop annoying me with her camera.


So there's two looks I've explained. I'll post more next time!
