Food – $141

Mostly because of the big bag of kibble I bought for Ellie and the Addiction dehydrated food!

Accessories – $118

Training accessories (clickers, leashes) and training methods…. Urgh hope I don’t have to fork out any more in the training aspect.

Health - $216

Because Ellie had a UTI and had to go to the vet, and I needed to stock up on the Frontline stuff!

Treats – $54

I couldn’t resist the Fish4Dogs promo >_<

Had the procedure done by my vet, Dr Cathy Chan at The Animal Doctors- I like the vets and nurses there, everyone is very nice! The wound size is very small and neat.

Due to my difficulties talking about excessive stuff, I shall talk about food! I have actually found two kibbles I like to eat, maybe other fussy pets can try:

1. Fish4Dogs ‘Finest Salmon’ – I even finished the whole sample pack YUMYUM

2. Natural Balance ‘Lamb Meal and Brown Rice’ – I stole lots of Ellie’s!

My canned food review!

1. Addiction “Venison and Apples” – Best! Love this stuff

2. Nutripe “Tripe with Lamb/Beef” – Smelly, but I gobble!

3. Tripett ‘Venison Tripe’ – SO SMELLY but GOOD!

4. Addiction “NZ Brushtail & Vegetables” – Yummy, too!

5. Addiction “King Salmon and Potatoes” – Don’t really like

6. Addiction ‘Unagi and Seaweed” – Don’t really like

7. Evangers “Whole Mackeral with Gravy” – YYEUCH. REJECT.

More reviews for Natural Variety, Innova Evo, and the new line of Addiction canned food coming soon!

Elliot, Steph’s boyfriend, tried to teach her how to do photo resizing thingy where you click on the image and it auto zooms but she does not know how to do it. How useless! Anyway moving on…

I would like to talk about the three things that I love to do most.

1) Sleeping; dogs spend up to 16 hours a day sleeping. That is my excuse

It is I, Kitty Miku sleeping on my office desk.

Me sleeping in my playpen

Me sleeping on Stephanie’s bed

2) I also like eating

My left back leg does that when I am eating something yummy; here I am eating Addiction Raw Dehydrated food in Forest Delicacies.

However, I don’t like it much now, I am very fussy :O

3) I love playing!!!

It is I with Big Octipoos

It is I,  Kitty Miku, with Fugu the Pufferfish, I already tore one of his fins out! Rrrrf!

And now I must go to bed!

Goodnight! *winks*

I went to a pet cafe yesterday, it was a Cocker Spaniel’s gathering. I didn’t know what a Cocker Spaniel was up till then, but they are basically dogs that are larger than me and brown with fur skirts (?), I don’t like them very much, but then I don’t like any dog other than my sister, Ellie. I don’t know how you are supposed to like other things that sniff your butt, but I was quite happy with their very human owners. They don’t sniff butts in Human Culture. That’s one thing I appreciate about humans, along with the fact that they are the ones with the food. Always the ones with the food. YUM.

While the other dogs chased each other around, I had a nice doggie meal served up by this cafe, called Bark Angel. It was honey grilled chicken, with sides of mashed potatoes+pumpkin and a poached egg. I don’t have pictures because I was too busy eating and my stupid human, Stephanie, did not take any photos. I ought to fire her. She did pay for my meal though. And I highly recommend it, because I don’t tend to finish all my food but I ate ALL OF IT. EVERYTHING. Om nom nom nom. I will be going in for another tasting soon and that makes me excited! Rrrrrrf!

My human also didn’t let me go potty, so I peed in the carrier as revenge on the way home. TEEHEEHEE. That’ll make sure you let me potty next time.

Tired after the gathering, chilling with Ellie!

Today, Stephanie made me a stuffed fish toy. It’s quite hideous, but I do love myself more toys. Here I am with my fortune cookie toy (also made by Steph, it has a bell in it so I love to shake it like a dead squirrel.. but I don’t think dead squirrels jingle), soccer ball squeaky and plush lollipop. I also now have a Yogi pee tray at the office so that my pee doesn’t get on the office carpet… Well, I gotta say it works, except if I find a secret corner to pee in to piss them all off, HEEHEE!! RRRRRF.

Ok gnight BAI.

it is I, kitty miku reporting live

In this post I would like to talk about how I do not like to eat kibble.

does this look vaguely appetizing AT ALL?

Why would I want to eat kibble when I can have:

ROAST CHICKEN

Okay… I don’t get roast chicken, maybe just boiled chicken, but it’s good enough. Stephanie sneaks ground up kibble into my food to make sure I am properly nourished but I say PAH! to that! I also really like beef and kangie. I am now accepting donations for those. Paypal link is on the side bar. No, not really. I don’t have a Paypal, but I’m sure I can use Steph’s if I insist!

And now for a short dog kibble review:

ANF Puppy- I came home with these from the pet shop. Let’s just say I don’t know why I ate it.

Solid Gold Hundchen-n-Flocken- It was bearable, for 5 seconds. It has some pretty okay stuff at a decent price range but no, I will not eat it.

Orijen Puppy- This was promising, but then I can’t be bothered to chew it, and now it has been ground to a powder so I will have to eat it, HOW SNEAKY. Top of the line dog food, but I really prefer beef or kangie. I’ll eat possum too.

it is I, kitty miku

Helloooo! My name is Kitty Miku Yamamoto, I was born 9/9/2009 and lived in a pet shop until Stephanie came in and started playing with me. The next day, she came to take me home. There were two other dogs in my new place, but I wasn’t allowed to play with them because my vaccinations were not complete. BUMMER.

I am quite a quiet puppy, my signature noise is “Rrrrrr” which is a very non-scary growl that I use on my squeaky toys.

it is I, kitty miku, and Bally

This is a picture of me and Bally. Unfortunately, I killed the squeaker in it and now it no longer squeaks. I am tres sad.

it is I, kitty miku, and my owner. she is quite ugly.

That is my owner, Stephanie. I like to bite her, but nowadays I get smacked for it, so I divert my teeth to other locations or individuals. She is the one who feeds me and comes after me with a contraption that has metal bristles on it. I think she calls it the slicker. Ohhh the horror, more like.

it is I, kitty miku, on my office desk

Stephanie takes me to work when she does, and I have my own desk! Every office chair belongs to me, though. My official designation is “Canine Executive Officer” but I mostly sleep on the job. There is another dog in the office, but she is mean and bit me when she first met me. We shall henceforth refer to her as The One Who Must Not Be Named.

it is I, kitty miku, and my sister Ellie

This is the other dog I live with, Ellie. The other dog does not like to have her photos taken. As far as I am concerned, Lulu is a nutjob. She is also Ellie’s mother. My favourite pastime, other than eating and sleeping, is to bully Ellie. She’s nice though. She lets me bite her.

it is I, kitty miku, and my bedroom slipper siblings

These are my slipper siblings, don’t you think they look just like me??!

in my free time, i am also a loldog

I am a very busy puppy as you can see.. And now I will have to run, because it is lunch time for me! Rrrrr!
