Anyway, this isn't the first time I brought Collie to run. I've brought him there numerous times but I kept forgetting to bring a camera. Finally remembered today!!!

RUN COLLIE RUN!
Gosh, it has been forever since I last posted! Sorry guys, I've been studying for SATs. Anyway, I've been bringing Collie to the garden for leashless runs lately and he LOVES it. A LOT. The good thing is that he follows me when I stroll about in the garden and does not wander too far off! What a good boy.

Collie is BALD!!!
We sent Collie to the groomers yesterday cause his fur and nails were getting too long. So the groomer came to pick him up at 11am and he was off. Honestly, I was more worried for the groomer than Collie as I knew how aggressive Collie gets when bathing and cutting nails. If Collie killed the groomer, then he would have to be put down, and that would suck!
Then at around 3.30pm, I heard the van driving in and sure enough, it was the groomer's van. I could not wait to see what has become of Collie. Then he emerged from the van, all white and bald. It was hilarious. He looked terribly skinny, and seemed also embarrassed! I thought he looked like a white Doberman too. And his ears, which used to look puny, where the most prominent thing on his body now. Beiru was right, he looked indeed like a RAT. It kinda felt like the groomer returned a different dog also.
The weirdest thing was, the groomer told us that he did not struggle or bite when they were bathing and shaving him. WHAT?!?! The only way that could happen was if they had tranquilised him. And they didn't. It was a miracle. The groomer said that we were probably too soft on Collie, so he thought he could kinda 'bully' us. Argh, that stupid dog. Should have been firm with him from the start! Now, as advised by the groomer, we hit his snout with a rolled up newspaper if he bites. It is amusing when he slightly tilts his head and closes his eyes to brace for the newspaper whack.
So anyway here are some before and after pictures of Collie. Oh, if you're wondering why is there a chain around Collie's neck, it is because while I was in Australia, he got really naughty so my parents decided to confine him to a spot in our house. We should have done that since he was a puppy according to an article I read. We really screwed up big time raising Collie and now, he's a reprobate.

AFTER: They didn't shave his face so it looks like he's wearing a mask

Collie's violent streak
Collie bites. Literally. Did I mention that he scratches as well? I got scratched and bitten by him a few times. Beats me why he's become so aggressive, especially so, after I came back from Australia. Absence makes the heart fonder so they say. Maybe Collie's feelings manifests in aggression.
It must be qualified though, that Collie is not "rabid" aggressive, he's more "barky barky, come play with me, dammit" aggressive.
Me scaredy doggie. Doggie bitey bitey.
Shaun came over today and Collie slobbered all over his arm. While he was entertaining Collie, Collie was good enough to be quiet and drooly. But when the both of us stepped back and looked at Collie, he started barking and growling again, albeit with a wagging tail. Strange, dogs.
Anyone want to get piercings? Collie will help, free of charge. For Pubic piercings, appointments need to be made prior.

コリー is officially a eunuch!!!
If you haven't noticed, コリー is Collie's Japanese name! Thanks Sufan for translating it for me! Anyway, last Tuesday I brought Collie to the vet to get him neutered, aka castration aka getting Collie balls cut off. He has been really really horny this week, trying to hump everyone and everything and I thought neutering him would be best for him and everyone. I had to persuade my parents though, they didn't want to neuter him because they wanted some baby Collies, but the thought of that scares the hell out of me. I can hardly handle one Collie, not to mention two... or five! Plus, where would we find a bitch?
It seemed like Collie knew that he was going to get neutered. Prior to leaving, he kept licking his balls, as if kissing them goodbye and on the way to the vet, he became extremely restless and kept whining. We finally arrived at about 9.30am and I settle the bills and left him there. The vet told me that I could pick him up in the evening.
So I went back in the evening and I thought he would be all weak and feeble from the surgery but he was astoundingly conscious and... normal. I thought I had to carry him all the way home but he could actually walk, and pull me along! The vet told me I couldn't play or bathe Collie the next 10 days which was sad as I was leaving for Australia the following week. I was even given a certificate for Collie's castration! Cool man! And hence the title, コリー is officially a eunuch!!!

Collie loves my sauce-less, taste-less, steamed chicken meat pasta!!!
I cooked this!
Collie loves it! And everything else...
Either Collie is pretending to be dead... or he is that bored.

Collie nearly eats a MOLE!
OMG. Just now while walking Collie at the garden, we saw a MOLE!!! I'm not really sure what kind of mole it was, but since it kinda looks like a rat, it must be a mole rat! The one in Kim Possible. Not that I watch it anymore. No, it wasn't all cute and stuff; cartoons are MISLEADING. It looked more like my grandma's hand.
So anyway, I saw the mole first, under a tree. I'd no idea why it came out of its hole but my first reaction was 'HOLY MOLY!' (pun intended), and the next was to leave ASAP before Collie sees it and gobbles it up.
But alas, Collie spotted it. It was moving quite fast, for a mole. Predictably, he went for it, but luckily, the mole was fast enough to escape his clutches. Phew, I don't think raw mole meat would make a nutritious dinner. Eww.
But still, A MOLE! What are the chances of a mole coming out of its humble abode - and me walking past at the very exact moment - and turning my head to look down at very spot the mole was at? Ms Kuah, you could calculate this probability. :)
And... this is how Collie sleeps.
