Our Normal Saturday!

We have been so busy and travelling so much for the past few weekends and we decided to just stay put and not go anywhere this weekend.  Though staying put, we still did lot of stuff and gone to quite a lot of places just today alone

1) Breakfast nearby.

2) Kota Damansara to buy dog food, bring a blouse I bought last week back to the boutique to have it's magnetic tag removed (they forgotten last week), some shopping for daily stuff.

3) Check out the construction site of a house.

4) Head down to Pet's Exhibition in MidValley to visit Aunty Suzi (a pet artist) who have a booth there.

5) McDonald for lunch.

6) Car workshop to check out a new paint work on my car.

7) Groomed and bathed Rumba and Sunshine.

8) Took Husky out for a walk.

9) Updated blog.

10) Head down to Pavillion for a pair of shoe the husband desired.

Mad crazy huh?  We certainly need to tone down those activities.  Really miss one of those lazy weekend that we do nothing at all.  Or those afternoon of movie marathon at home.  Sigh....  But then again, it feel sort of normal too.  Just like how it used to be when I was working a long time ago.

Other than all those craziness, today also marked a very important occasion.  After watching an episode of 'Dog Whisperer', we finally managed to take Husky; our monster dog, out for a walk!  :)  You see, we have been facing some problem with him for quite some time.  Remember he was transferred to the never never land of our backyard?  Well, since then, he has been off leash, off collar, off everything and gone a little crazier.  As time goes, he began to snap.  Not only were we not able to put a collar on him, we were not able to leash him or stroke him.  He would simply aim to bite our hands off.

The husband has taken upon himself to patiently train Husky for the past one month.  Those ordinary stuff ~ sit, stay, left paw, right paw... good boy!  And it went on and on... just to get him comfortable with human touch and oh boy, he was learning fast.  Very food & touch motivated.  He learned all that in no time.  Still, he wasn't quite comfortable with the leash/collar.  And the poor husband suffered quite a number of scratches along the way.  We were joking about it the other day, he said if he gone a little crazier, it could be from those scratches.  Mad dog disease.  Lols...

We accidentally caught an episode of 'Dog Whisperer' being aired over Astro last week and that gave us a new inspiration on how to handle our monster.  Following the technique shown on tv, we finally succeeded in leashing Husky and managed to take him out for a walk.  He was rather excited and at the same time, wary.  But ok.  Almost set off chasing after cats when he spotted one!  Luckily I had the leash rolled tightly on my arm.  Nevertheless, it was a great attempt.  What an accomplishment.  I certainly hope he will get used to it soon.
