Queensland Floods

Was watching the news on the train ride home a few days ago about the flooding in Queensland. A video clip was showing a woman holding her dog was standing on top of her house being washed down the river. Yes! The whole house was moving down along in the raging river. If nobody safes them soon, they will go down with the house any minute. Rescuers throw a rope down when she was about to pass by. The woman was holding her dog in one arm and jump to catch the rope with her other free hand. My heart skipped a beat when she jumped! She caught the rope but was immersed in the raging waters, holding on to her dog and the rope while catching her breathe! Next thing i saw was that the dog was gone and she was holding on to the rope with both her hands, trying not to let go. Thank God the woman was then saved. They pulled her up at last.

Since then, I couldn't stop thinking of the dog. The woman must have tried very hard not to let go. If it was me, I'd try my very best not to let go of my dog too. Mallow is a part of me and would hate myself to lose her from my own hand. Will I hold on to Mallow or to the rope if I have a choice? My heart goes to all the victims and pets affected by the Queensland floods.


Mallow I woof you!

心痛



mallow 乖女啦! 苦口良藥, 你乖乖地食左佢啦。自從mallow上星期隻腳柺下柺下開始, 我日日都餵佢食hips & joints 藥丸。佢一向食藥丸都好耍家咁嘛, 通常好快就會吞咗粒藥。但係最近醫生再開多幾粒藥比佢, 而家一次要食成四粒藥呀! mallow而家食藥開始反抗, 扭計。叫佢食藥就即走, 捉到拒又令咩面。然後強制性竅開佢棚牙, 塞粒藥丸入喉嚨, 喺mallow掙扎得死去活來時馬上合埋佢個嘴, 頭向天, 等佢吞咗粒藥先可以放手。然後再重復3次。有時佢掙扎得太勁時仲會比佢咬到架。見到mallow咁辛苦我心都痛埋呀! 開始覺得mallow老啦... mallow 你要身體健康呀!

快樂是...

快樂是... 今天不用上班。


快樂是... 自然醒來。不用狂按snooze三至十三次才起床,再煩着要穿什甚、襯哪雙鞋、然後發覺忘了warm up化妝間內的 hair straightener...


快樂是... 和Mallow午睡。



快樂是... 一整天在家狂練琴。因為明天就要考試,好緊張好緊張!不想歷史重現。害怕失望。


快樂是... 期待Mallow沖涼吹頭剪髮修甲後的香味。


快樂是... 明天後天大後天也沒有安排活動。很久也沒見過那麼空洞的schedule!會感覺空虛嗎?


快樂是... 在fb status收到juju的問候 :) 知道你去旅行曬得一身健康膚色,很美!


快樂是... 和BFF每天見面。到北京記得穿少一點 ;-)


快樂是... 和PIC msn,有些問題只有她懂!


快樂是... 和他一起看巾幗梟雄。


快樂是... 終於上到網。終於又寫得出無聊事亦不介意沒人看。


快樂是... 好像懂得放開了。

女主人



我諗Mallow真係成為咗屋企嘅最高領導人。食飯佢食先。每個人一入屋要先同佢請安。媽咪寄返香港嘅郵包有八成係Mallow嘅玩具+衫+零食。飲益力多要預埋佢。連我張床同枕頭都要讓埋比佢。聽講佢每日瞓呢個位多過我!我只係夜晚淋瞓先要求佢借我瞓幾個鐘架咋!

Mallow & Me

It was a warm spring day back in February 2002. We decided to visit the Humane Society just for the heck of it. Before we walked in, we said to each other,

"what if we find a dog we like?"

"No way! We can't take care of a dog. My mom would kill us if she knows that we're keeping a dog in her property!"

"Right, and we can't really take care of anything anyway!"



We visited the cats kennel first, and I was sneezing like a water fountain. Then we saw rabbits, hamsters, and other animals that didn't caught my attention. Then we walked into the dogs kennel area. Those dogs were barking like crazy except one. This little pupple were just sitting at the end of its kennel under that warm sun!

"Come here puppy!"

And it shot to the other end of the kennel and smiled at me. Right there and then, I fell in love with it! Then it ran back under the sun.
"Come here come here!"

It ran back the this end again and back, and then again. I forgot how many times did it ran back and forth, but it came to me everytime I called.



Then we moved on to see other dogs. Walked through the whole place and back to this little puppy again.

"It looks a bit like your Mr. Bear*!"
"You think so too??" *Mr Bear is my teddy bear that I've been sleeping with since I was 4.




"Do you wanna take her home?"
"What?"
"Take her if you really want to."
"WHATTT??"



Right there and then, I made the best decision of my life.
"Let's take her home!"



We talked to the Humane Society lady for about an hour. Get to know what I was doing-- adopting a dog for life! Since puppy was less than 6 months old, I needed to take her to training classes and get her trained. Got a bunch of reading material from them. Bought puppy a collar, picked her up from her spay operation, and then we went home. She was still drowsy from the operation when we got home. We put her in a paper box and spent our first nite together. Her name is Mallow. Mallow So =)



Michelle house-trained Mallow. Michelle took Mallow to puppy kindergarden. Mallow bites other dogs. Mallow got separated while other puppies get their off lash time. Mich was sitting in the corner with Mallow while she was being separated. Mallow loves squeaky toys. Mallow broke a squeaky toy. Michelle threw the broken toy away. Tears dropped from Mallow's big brown eyes after Michelle threw the toy away! Mallow loved fetching with tennis balls. Mallow ran in the backyard everyday. Michelle got a giant plastic pool from Costco and placed it in the middle of the backyard. Mich & Mallow swam in the plastic pool. Mallow was scared of water and scratched Michelle in the pool. They never got back in the pool again after the very first and only time. Molds were growing in the pool. Mich drained the water from the pool and it took a day to empty the giant pool.



Time flies.



Mich moved back to HK in the summer of 2006. Mich brought Mallow to HK. No more backyard. No more fetching everyday. No more green grass. No more barking at the mail man. Michelle often comes home late after she moves back to HK. No matter how late Michelle comes home, Mallow would always be waiting. She'd always be wagging her tails when Mich comes thru the door, jumps up on two feet and gives her a kiss. Mallow loves Mich everyday of her life. Sorry that Mich took all your joy away. Just want you to know that you're the joy of my life!
