Posted an ad in the papers today for the sale of the puppies. So far, only 2 replied and both think price is too high. I think its not. I dunno why people get the impression that locally bred ones should be cheaper! bullocks to them!

Locally farm bred ones maybe. you dont get quality if u don't wanna pay. I always believe in that. ahh well.. The puppies are microchipped, vaccinated, come with pedigree papers, dad is already a titled champion. Two of the best bloodlines in the US. Even when i mention the 2 bloodlines to US breeders, they are impressed!

There isnt much demand for quality JRTs here. People are contented with a $450 jack with roached topline, pricked ears, elbow out, hyper active, barky. really irks me sometimes. Not that i tink they should abandon their jacks but if they bother to read up, the quality of jrts here would be much better. I don't even like JRTs to begin with. Whenever i see an ugly jrt, i would think it does no justice to the breed. I dont pat them. I dont go near them. i hate my dog to go near them because they will mount her and drool all over her. I feel the owner is ugly as well.

Now, i get people coming to ask me what breed my dog is and i tell them its a JRT and they are SURPRISED because she has a rough coat and 'HOW COME HER EARS ARE DOWN ONE?' urgh! they all think JRTs should have pricked ears. After a while, i get sick of explaning.

I say ' ohh mine is a mix breed. Dunno why like tht..'
then they will ask 'where did u get her from? very cute ley this mix breed. I also wanna get. how much?'
i say 'ohh ok la $3500 only. I got her from pet farm.. how much is yr jrt?'
they will usually get a HUGE shock and either think i'm very stupid or i'm bluffing them.

Anyways, I dont think $1200 with papers for the puppy is that expensive. Of cos i want him to go to a good home as well. Preferbly a show home since i think he has lots of potential which i know is hard. Just a good home would suffice. Someone who wouldnt mind paying $1200 for many many years selective breeding.

so if u really want a dog, do let me know but if u have a budget of $500. Do try getting a rabbit instead.

ps: a friend's friend sms me asking if she could buy a YORKshire for $800! i was appalled! for $800, your yorkie would prolly look like a silky terrier (which prolly is). Decent looking yorkies i see start from $2000 and above. Below that, they're all shite.

ive been stuck in sengkang for a long time.
Here's my usual day routine.

7.30am: phone rings. 'You're still sleeping? wake up! bye!'
(i continue sleeping..)
8.00am: sms (usually it goes): 'pls remember to xxxxxxxx later..'
(i continue sleeping..)
9.30am: phone rings again : 'wake up liao! do i have any mails or not? Later you go to the house pls xxxxx...bye.'
(i continue sleeping..)
I finally wake up around 10-ish.. followed by a good morning to my dog, Francesca and a tummy rub. After that, i continue 'nua-ing' on bed before reaching up and turn on the computer. Check mail. Surf blogs. doggiesite. h4hamster forum. log off.
11am: phone rings: ' do i have any mails or not?'

at around 12-ish. i start my journey to the house. Pass the school, the traffic lights, the block of flats, up the hill, barking dogs.. and i arrive. I hear Refund barking and the dogs going mad.

I enter the house and they all jump on me to greet me. Refund will lick Francesca around the mouth obsessively. The puppies start whinning. I run to let them out. Go to the kitchen and prepare their daily meal. Sometimes its kibbles, sometimes its raw, sometimes is cooked brown rice with toufu and chicken.

Takes me around 45 mins to feed them. Play with them for a bit before settling down for a breather (10 mins). I smell shit. Take newspapers and go change the puppie's bedding.

It would be around 2pm. Starts wondering what to do... drumming fingers on table. walking aimlessly around the house. thinking of what to have for lunch.. open fridge. nothing. open cabinet. nothing. Decides to go to the mall to buy lunch. Goes to the shop (i work at the petshop in the mall, in case some of u don't know..) Help out a bit. Talk to uncle, jenny or ming hui if anyone is there.. Talk to customers. Ask if they want to buy puppy. promote puppy (after talking for 20 mins). they say 'i'll think about it'. feels sian.

Walk back to the house. Eat lunch with 7 pairs of eyes watching every move my mouth makes. Greedy dogs!

4pm-ish: on tv. wait for my Ch 8 drama serial to begin. Now they're re-running 'toufu-jie'. followed by 'chun-dao-ren-jian'. and then 'holland-v' and then '1+1=3'. that will take me until 10pm!! hahaha

sheesh! i am only 22 and my life is so auntie.

nevermind! i'm going to robin's house today for geetar lessons! yipee!

ok no then no!
better stick to it!

i usually don't get the things i want.
i just have to make do with what i can have and what is offered.

sometimes, i think, i think too much.

i also realised its always my mind that's making me all depressed, worried, anxious and the lot. I wish i didnt have such a vivid imagination.

ahh shucks. maybe thts why i bite my nails a lot. i'm always thinking.

hahaa.

the things u do behind my back. i don't want to know about it.

its constantly eating me alive.

i want a new computer.
a new phone.
a holiday.

i dont understand why people are depressed so often? I think its all in one's head and if u ALLOW it to ride over you, u're done for.

depressed for so long and so often isnt quite healthy. of cos some might say one cannot help it.

whatever it is, its a weakness.

get some prozac will u.

visited the klee kais and took some pics. most turned out blur. urgh sucky! will try to take more if i get the chance.

Went with raymond to buy his mini pin puppy at the farm today! He paid $788.. we tried to bargain but they dont even wanna reduce like $8! sucks! In the end, he has to pay $811.10 because he forgot to bring his nets card. Have to pay using Visa and thus incurring 3% tax. The puppy is 2 month old and is so darn small compared to dawn's 2 month old puppies.

Brought them all to the Dr Su at Simei for microchip/vaccination. Dawn had a tumor like thingy right at her tummy. Louis thought it was cos she swallowed the rubber toy/ball i bought BUT come on! I told Dr su and she laughed her head off. In the end, Dr SU took the needle and drew out some liquid and said it's a cyst. Hopefully its not gonna grow back again now its gone.

TOhza, the little jack russell boy is back at the house for 1 week. He didn't grow much. Still as short as ever. Like a little firecracker!

Refund isn't too happy with him (thank god hes not gay!). Refund isnt very happy with any male dogs that comes into the house. Cloe isnt very happy either but thats because she's the alpha in the house.

Dog show in 3 weeks! Francesca might just be withdrawn if her pedigree papers don't come on time. Damn the australian kennel club!

O! I cleared 2 JRT puppies from changi cargo on saturday. They flew down from OZ! Brave little boys! didnt even pee pee or poo poo!!!! They don't belong to me. Not to louis either. Just helping a friend since its his first time importing doggies. the 2 of them look like little bolsters running amok in the house. They're gone now. Both to their respective homes. Will get to see them in the coming show! so much competition for tohza! no wonder louis is worried.

will be working most days at the shop (sian..) since my boss, Yvonne left for UK today! I wish i could go for a holiday. o well.

was promised a holiday to thailand later this year (to watch dog shows of cos!). wonder if that'll be fulfilled. monies.. monies..

watched 'down with love' a couple of days ago. Am quite sick of all these love-hate things but Ewan Mcgregor is still eye candy. As for Renee Zellwegger (?), she has high cheekbones.

wanted to watch Homerun but nobody to watch with.

so many mosquito bites on my legs! wah lau eh!

note to self : buy mostquito coil tomorrow.

i love this picture.
