Out at the Animal Farm



It was great to see the sun today, after weeks of cloudy skies and wet weather. So, we brought Cheery to the Animal Farm at Seletar.

Those of you with kids, it's an interesting place to bring the little ones.

The minute we reached the place, Cheery got the attention of this golden retriever pup, barking at her continuously.




But my girl didn't seem too interested.



Some pictures I took, trying to work on my photography skills.





An old grandpa stork.




Long wait for these dogs at the grooming centre (and reflection of my huge bum and Mike's ah-chek sandal).



A graceful swan ...




Who's happy to be fed.











Peeping tom.




And he must be very hungry too, to be chewing on plastic!




What an interesting way to pose though.



A shy cassowary, from Australia. We were told it's the world's 2nd largest bird, and it kicks ass!

(Cassowaries are known to defend themselves by kicking violently, and several people in the world have been killed by them this way!)





Cheery was this little size when I brought her back at 2-month old.




And look what I found - an old abandoned trishaw.



Pictures of Cheery on a free run.



"OOoOo, an obstacle course?"



"Easy feat for me!"



"What's next?"



Showing off her true Scottish spirit!

"Daddy, here I come!"

(Cheery belongs to the West Highland White Terrier breed, commonly known as Westies for short. And her ancestors originate from Western Scotland.)



"Told ya was an easy feat."



"Pant, pant, pant, I need water."



And that was her day, boy, were we tired.

Cheery's play moments

Here's some pictures of Cheery's play moments.

We realised from her young age that she's really quite a world-class footballer in making.

She loves to bite a soft toy in her mouth and use that as a 'hockey stick' to dribble her 'football' around. And she's really good at that, in fact, she puts David Beckham to shame. Ha Ha!

See her in action.

"Hi Mommy, let's play football!"



She's trying to hit at the ball with her 'mouse'.



Dribble dribble dribble.



This is her back view! Ha Ha Ha!

Looks like a squirrel's tail!



She's waiting for Mike to dribble the ball back to her.



Pant pant pant.



"I think I need to take five, Mommy!"



I thought she was drained of all energy but she proved me wrong.

She started to then search for another soft toy to play.



She was peering into her house and when I called out to her, she turned to look at me.

"Did you see my 'monkey'?"



"I think it's inside my house."



And she's right!



Her 'monkey'.



My playful girl.

Cheery & her 'lion'

Cheery has been driving me nuts with her little 'lion' lately.

You see, we bought her this lion soft toy some weeks ago, and she has been obsessed with it eversince.

She's always had a thing for soft toys and all this while, I can't make out if she's head over heels in love with them or she hates them to the core (cos' she bites at her soft toys like her one single goal is to rip them to shreds).

Her 'lion'.



She plays with it in the day...



She plays with it at night...





As if that's not enough, she plays with it in the car too!

In the next few pictures, you see her searching for her 'lion' in the car.

Searching for something...something...something...(and she was sniffing real hard, using her powerful doggie sense of smell.)



Still searching...and I think she got it...see her right hind leg disappear into the bag, she was climbing in.



She found it and while I was holding it up for this shot, she was scratching hard at me to give it back to her.



"My lion, Mommy!"

Her triumphant look!
