Eyelash curler anyone?

I want you to listen what I say...okay? I'm the leader here!

Woff! woof! wondering what's new with the jay-oh-each--in-is-oh-in kids life? A lot of fun! Lotsss of playing like tug of war, rolling around, wrestling (they are the -gladiator's), play-biting and lots of chasing and teasing, running around the house, behind the couch, into the bed, up and down the stairs.
As for Star's potty train - nothing's changed. We've slowed down taking her and Sunny out for potty since winter started. Star showed preference in doing her business outside over the wee-wee pad but its just too cold lately. She seldom uses the wee-wee pad and she poop's just outside/near the wee-wee pad. Even if we pointed and showed her to do her business in the wee-wee pad, she just purposely do it her own, when somebody is not looking at her. She still thinks that her poo-poo's are freshly baked cookie or maybe in her little brain, she just wanna be of help to the Momma by getting rid of it her own.

Sunny on the other hand uses the wee-wee pad 95%! He actually listens and understands what he is being told. Very affectionate dog. When we call Star-star, he comes to us as if he's the one being called! And he would go lick/kiss our face like a thunder, very quick! Sunny gives a funny face expressions and he responces with our face expression as long as he is paying attention. Very different personality with Star but they get along pretty well esp. on play time.

Sunny is being called by Dada like Monkey and Piggy! Piggy because he likes to eat Star's food. These two have been feed with Eukanuba dry food - Small breed: Petite Race (Adult for Star, Puppy Chow for Sunny) mixed with boiled white chicken meat and occassional with rice. They've had Eukanuba: Chunks in Gravy before but have slowed down lately due to lack of interests. Star is very timid when it comes to meal time. We pretty much have to beg her to eat while Sunny is always there waiting and hangin' out in the kitchen while Momma is preparing for food. And when Star isn't there to eat her food, Sunny made sure it is being consumed and not wasted! No matter how much we say/yell him NO! he will gobble it up as fast as he can before we can get the food bowl away from him. When Star is eating, he patiently waits for the lefover. Star is slowly getting the idea that when the food is out she better eat it or she can wait for the next meal. She's been giving Sunny a hard time (growl) when he gets near her bowl.

One day, Momma went ambitious giving the kids some haircut - a bangs! She's decided that she is over with hair-do. Besides its always nice to see their pretty eyes. They will melt your heart when you see them smiling! Star's eyes and nose are rounded like buttons that makes her looked like a real stuffed dog while Sunny's eyes and nose are tiny but also very expressive. Oh, did you notice his long eyelash? They are very pretty.
Sunny had some kind of skin irritation a few weeks ago. He had some kind of scabs in between his nose and lip. Momma treated it with an ointment and later found out that is was gone but a fresh one is forming on his forehead. When she scratches the scabs, she saw the skin is red and inflamed. Momma washed it with 50-50 vinegar and water and treated with ointment. Now its gone BUT Momma found out Sunny's ears are smelly...ewww! Dada said told her that he is supposed to be smelly 'coz he is a guy! But the Momma didn't buy it so she washed it with the 50-50 water and vinegar solution and pulled excess hair. Still smelly so the next thing she use was a hydrogen peroxide. It seemed to do the job. A little smelly but not as bad as before.

Sunny loves to tease Star. He likes to jumped right infront of Star's face esp. when they are playing as if he was trying to test her patience. When Star is busy and ignors her, he would start to make out with her. Star on the other hand likes to tease Sunny when he is napping. Star would paw him and barked at the same time as if she's asking him to get up and play with her. Sunny would give her a big and angry growl and that will start the fight and they chase and made our house feels like an earthquake is going on!

Star can sometimes be over the top and when the Dada sensed it, he will tell them to stop and chill out.

Sunny just like Star loves the outside. He loves to go for a walk. When given a chance he would love to peek out so he can see what is going on outside. Tonight we went out for a little walk around the block and he didn't show any signs of reluctance. He just walk and follows where we go. Can't wait 'till it warms up a little bit for everyone to enjoy the walk.
We've been taking the kids with us on our little trips around the town or in any drive-thru's. Star as usual loves to be the co-pilot whereas Sunny is more of a luggage than a passenger :)

I like your blog and your doggies are truly, very cute. As for the smelly ears, that's not normal, especially if they smell bad. That is a definite sign of an ear infection. I learned that at Puppy Kindergarten obedience classes. You should take him to the vet to get it checked out right away, because if it is left too long, it can cause permanent hearing damage. Your also not supposed to put liquid in the dogs ears because it can cause an infection. I truly hope this information helps and doesn't come across as preachy. I also watched your 'video compilation'. Totally adorable. Congrats of getting a Shih Poo. Aren't they precious? I love Shih Tzu's too. By the way, thanks so much for coming to visit my blog. We've added you on our rotation of blogs we read each day.

Love and Smoochies,

That is weird. I didn't know doggies could get acne either. Kinda funny actually. I hope I didn't make you mad with my 'nosey' and 'bossy' comment. I am glad to hear everything went alright at the vets and that your little babies are in good health. Afterall, that's all that matters! Love your blog, and your doggies Star and Sunny.

Toodles,
Sweets

hi sweets, tell your momma no problem, we undertand she is just concern, you are very lucky she is your mom, sunny was prescribed with Epi-Otic ear cleanser, and Star can use it either for just general cleaning. got eggs for egg hunting?
