A Day Out In The Park With The Furkids

Rumba & Sunshine

Redbabe was out whole of Saturday. We thought we gonna missed Shalom's party the very next morning. Thank God she came back. We were both invited to attend Shalom's 6th, Berri's 3rd and Elly's 2nd Birthday. Though Husky was also invited but Redbabe said something about she is not going anywhere with him.

Redbabe was up early on Sunday morning and she look awful. As if she has been awake all night like that. She was busy cooking something in the kitchen. It was strange to see her cooking on a Sunday morning. *sniff* *sniff* Ahh, from the aroma that fills the air, we have a hunch that she is frying eggs! Cooking eggs on a Sunday morning? Have she forgotten about the party??? :(

After awhile, she packed up the eggs, and took out our travelling carrier. Yippee... she didnt forget about the party!

I managed get out of bed at 8:15am on a Sunday morning, into the kitchen, to prepare the 'sunny sides up' which I committed to contribute for the human food potluck. That's a feat ok! Rumba & Sunshine just stared at me from the playpen. They must be wondering why am Iup so early on a Sunday morning. I felt like zombie. I bet I looked dreadful too. If not because of them, I would still be snuggling up in my comfy bed. Sigh...

Planned to fry 20 eggs, but did 14 instead cause I am running out of time. The party starting at 9am. I quickly packed up the eggs and took out the travelling carrier. Also packed some poo bags and a water bowl for the dogs before I wake the husband, a.k.a. the chauffer in this particular situation, before loading Rumba & Sunshine into the car. Boy! They sure was excited!

We got to the park after a couple of left and right turns. It took approximately the duration of a bath to arrive. When we finally got out of the carrier, we were greeted by many friends of different colours & sizes. Some look exactly like Sunshine but none look like me at all. How can Sunshine and me looked so different? I thought we were sisters. Strange.

There were so many of us. More tails than humans. Couldn't keep track of who is who. It was afterall, a furkids' birthday party. Other than catching up with old friends, we managed to meet some new ones too.

This is our new friend but we cant recall his/her name. We just called him/her 'ponytail'.

This is also our new friend, Nova, a 3 months old German Shepherd, a new addition to Aunty Jo Lee's family (Redbabe's friend).

We were so happy to be able to meet up with Ayako again. The last time we met was during our vacation to Aunty Ruby's resort. Ayako is always looking prim & proper. Very pretty. Unlike us, always looking rugged like boys like that.

Redbabe said he looked like Chubaka in Starwars. Not sure what's his name is. His mommi said that he is very anti-social. That's why he was leashed to the tree. We thought he was alright though. Never even bark once. He just sat that quietly. What a lovely furkid he is! Redbabe was drooling all over him. She thought he look fluffy like a toy!

Aunty Evie gave out treats halfway thru the party. We crowded all over her. Naturally, Sunshine and me couldn't fight with our bigger friends. We just stood around and hopefully Aunty Evie notice us and yes, she did. She fed us some treats and it was really yummy. They were all her homemade treats. Love it.

Finally, it was time for Shalom & Elly to blow their birthday cake. Berri didn't turn up though cause her daddy overslept. Poor Berri... :( She would have enjoyed the party like how we did! Redbabe even got her a present of rawhide chewy! Maybe she will pass them to her daddy when she see him next time or maybe she can just give it to us to save all the trouble.

Uncle Dennis (Shalom's daddy) distributing the birthday cake. Lena, the American Cocker Spaniel was perpectually glued anywhere there was food. It was funny sights. Waiting patiently in front of the cake for her turn to be fed. Very civilised.

Sunshine savouring the yummilicious birthday cake... she said it tasted like lamb or something. We had two helpings of the cake. Very delicious indeed.

Uncle Dennis was walking around feeding us all barefooted throughout the party. Barefooted just like us. It was hillarious. We were all crowding around him all the time. Everyone behaved very well that day. Nobody fights or quarrel at all. Very harmonious.

Redbabe kept saying that Sunshine used to look like this 3 months old schnauzer and that how wonderful it would be if she never grows up. I for sure would prefer Sunshine looking like this forever cause at least she will be smaller than me, unlike now (when she is bigger size). I secretly called her a fatty bom-bom. She is so fat that I heard Redbabe complaining how heavy she is all the time.

I just wonder how come Sunshine looked so different now. So different from the 3 month's old schnauzer. But I prefer how she look now except for her bigger size of course. But I still managed to bully her la...

The aunties had fun too catching up on their latest gossips while we busied ourselves sniffing each other out or stalking Aunty Evie for more treats!

As for the uncles, they too had their own fun talking about something on 4 wheels and horsepower. What is wheels??? Horsepower?? Or was it dogpower??? Yeah, we must have heard wrongly. Dogpower make more sense and of course we are powerful... hmm...

Another aunty made another birthday cake. So altogether, we had two birthday cakes in total. Sunshine said it tasted funny. So she just left her's uneaten. I thought it tasted funny too. Smelled like a perfume more than a cake. I was happily rolling over it to get the scent all over me until Redbabe spotted me doing it and started screaming down my neck! Oh boy... that was scary. I just wanna smell nice. What did I did wrong???

In the end, Lena & Shadow (We dont really know his name. He is just a black cocker spaniel) cleaned up the cake. They are the only two that doesn't find it taste funny. Lols...

Overall, we had a great time. We spent a good 3 hours outdoor at the park chasing after our friends, being chased in return, stuffing ourselves crazy with treats and cakes and even watching some of our bigger friends went swimming in the pond. We were both very tempted to join them too. The weather was really hot that morning. But we bet Redbabe will not be too happy about it though. Better not risk the chance of coming to the park again. ;)

When we got home, Redbabe showered us both and blow dried our coats. Ahh... it felt so good to be fluffy again. We were both so tired that we actually fell asleep right underneath darling's desk. I was awoken rudely couple of times from some strange sound coming from Sunshine (or was it from myself?). Darling was laughing with Redbabe something about us actually snores in our sleeps. Excuse me.... we, ladies, dont snore ok.... :p Hehehehehe.....

I was so tired when we finally got home. It was a great day at the park. I had fun, Harrison had fun, we all enjoyed ourselves very much. I bet Rumba & Sunshine did too. It has been quite awhile since they last went to the park. Despite of my aching muscles all over, I quickly showered and blow dry both of them. Can't stand the thought of having them walking around the house with grimes from the park sticking all over them. Ewww...... so die die also must bathe them. Harrison told me later that night that he actually heard them snoring when they took their nap underneath his table. Lols... It must have been a cute sight seeing doggies snores. They must be dead tired...hehehehe....
