Bunny is here

Fun stuffs, Life stuffs

We’ve noticed a bunny living under our plum tree since the weather is getting warmer. It seems like he make himself home in our back yard.

I have always wanted to get a bunny, but I didn’t want the responsibility to take care one. I know that they have shorter lifespan, and medical expense can get super high.

I love seeing him every morning. Although I asked him to leave once, I guess if our home is safe for him he’s welcome to stay. As long as Oki doesn’t hurt him, I’m good even if he eats all my flowers @_@”

6 mo 1 wk

Fun stuffs, Journey to our home

Today Oki is 6 Mo and 1wk old since his birthday. Also marks today as he is home 3 mo already. He hasn’t grown a lot lately, I can only notice he grow longer but not taller. He is a joy to us although sometimes he can be very naughty.

Every time I look at him, I notice his sparkling eyes as if he wants to tell me something. Probably something like ” can I have more treats please!” =P Joking aside, when I look into his eyes I see loyalty. Though, I trained him to look at me whenever I give him treat or meal, his eyes tell me how much he trust me. It is every time he looks me in the eye, he trust that I won’t tease him but give him what he wants because he followed the command.

This little creature is growing bigger and probably taking more space in our hearts. He is a good doggy, I hope I know how to train him to be a more gentle and calm when meeting strangers.

I kind of understand what Ceaser said when you pull the leash tight that actually made your dog more excited. Postman rang the bell around noon when Oki was napping in the tv room. I didn’t bother to wake up Oki and pull him on the leash while opening the door. So I just walked and opened the door, and talked to the postman. Oki slowly walked over, swagging his tail but wasn’t overly excited. I then held on to his leash, but not pulling. He was standing at the door looking at the postman. By the time we ended our conversation, Oki was just sniffing, swagging his tail, didn’t bark or jump. I wonder if there’s anything I did differently this time, which didn’t make him overly excited… ummm… very interesting

 

A month has passed

Fun stuffs, Life stuffs

Oki is home a little more than a month now, I think he’s adapting well. We missed his second booster shot and third is also due already. He’ll be meeting the vet this Sat, hopefully we’ll have a good time. Lately, the weather is getting better, more light and more sunshine, Oki just wants to get out. We’ve been training him to use the potty bell, but seems like he rings it whenever he wants to go out there sniff around. At least there’s no accident after the first two weeks. I’ve been consistent taking him out for potty and only let him out after potty.

I tried not to lose my temper with him, it’s getting a little better especially I let him follow me around. He’s still a puppy though, he still nips at us sometimes. I hope to take him out for walk after he gets all the booster shots. I know he’ll be happy to get out there to explore the world 🙂

2+ week

Fun stuffs, Life stuffs

I can’t believe it’s only been two weeks since Oki came home. We’ve been happy, angry, sad, and frustrated all these times. Our life has been changed upside down for the good. This little doggy is growing so fast that I need to constantly remind myself to be patient with him.

Day 3

Fun stuffs, Life stuffs, Sore spots

I wonder if I should leave Oki in his playpen all the time. Today I put him in the playpen twice and each time when he came out I would let him go to the yard. Being his curious self, Oki found something to eat and play at the very back of the yard, I’m a little worried since I’m not sure what he’s eating. So I tried to put him on the leash but he didn’t want to walk. Another time I kept the harness on without the leash, he would just roaming around. When he came back in the house, he became a little aggressive when he played with me. I didn’t understand until he pee on the floor. I remember he didn’t pee the last time he went out, but I thought I could catch the timing if ever he needs to go….

I felt like a failure when I saw him pee on the floor. I’m thinking “I suck”. Now he’s sleeping in his playpen. I wonder if he was being grumpy because of holding the pee and feeling sleepy at the same time.

Meeting Oki

Fun stuffs, Journey to our home

Today we drove an hour to the ferry, and spent two hours on the ferry, then another one and a half hours to the dog trainer, Karen. We finally got the trainer and met Oki the first time. We instantly fell in love with this little guy. The ride back was fine since Oki almost slept all the way back to home. He whine a little when we put him in the crate to sleep for the night though.

BC Day

Fun stuffs, Health & Wellness

We didn’t do much on BC Day, except we went shopping. Great deal at the Bay and we got some new clothes for hubby. Again, we drove by our future home just wanna check out everything okay.

I finally got to try that hot spicy korean noodles…. not too bad, taste pretty good.

We went out for a walk after dinner, iPhone apps told me that I walked 10,000 steps today. I’m still waiting for my Fitbit, so looking forward to use it for my everyday exercise routine… if there’s any 😛

last day of dog sitting

Fun stuffs

Last day of Mr. Chips, I will definitely miss him and hopefully I will visit sometimes in the future. He is such a gentle dog, although not very smart, he is pretty obedient. I understand he didn’t bark a lot like the smaller dog… but still, I’m not very used to the barking. Bibi and Happy usually don’t bother with other dogs, they are in their own little world with humans. Happy doesn’t bark much …. anyways, we are still thinking if we should bring him over to Canada. I wonder if he is physically able to fly all the way across the world.
