*grrrrrrr*

I just rebooted my PC and I was wondering why it wasn't recognising my Olympus camera cable. I looked down, traced the end, and it was ... BEING CHEWED BY RASCAL! He's REALLY good ... he hid the end of the wire with his toy and so from top view, he's chewing his toy ... until i pulled the wired to see it attached to his mouth!

Argh! He chewed off enough to expose the cables (probably some wires too), and now he's being punished - ignored and locked up at the back.

No more photos till I find a replacement cable =(

Didi I mention I found him tearing holes in my carpets and rugs too? Innocently too, until I spotted him chewing an old rug i wanted to throw away. Then i spotted the balding patches on my carpet. So now, he doesn't have any rugs with him in the day time, unless it's under supervision.

*grrrr*

Let's send postcards! for a good cause =)

Saw this from http://www.stefmike.org/mt-blogs/daxiang/ This will be fun to do, and it's going to cost you less than a dollar and just some efforts to locate the nearest postbox! What are you waiting for?

Dear neighbors:
My name is Lisa Cowart and I am a teacher of some of the most wonderful students in the world!
It is on behalf of my students that I would like to ask a favor of you.
I am teaching sixth grade social studies in Columbus, Georgia at Richards Middle School. Our class is emphasizing international studies and we are trying to learn about the world around us. A geography project that I am doing with my class involved us trying to get postcards sent to us from all over the United States and as many countries in the world as we can. When we get the cards, the class and I locate the place on the map. This is a great way for them to work on becoming familiar with the world outside of their own town. To this end, I need to help of anybody who would be willing to send us a postcard from another state or perhaps from another country.

We will be happy to reciprocate if the person gives us their return address. If you know anybody at all who lives in another state or in another country, would you be so kind as to pass this request along to them?
Please send our class a postcard at the following address:
Mrs. Cowart's Sixth Grade ClassRichards Middle School2892 Edgewood RoadColumbus, Georgia 31906 USA
Please pass this request along to anyone who you think would be willing to help us by sending us a postcard.
Sincerely,
Lisa Crowson Cowart

Rascally yours ...

Rascal will soon be 6 months old! On that very day, he will recieve his very FIRST grooming *hehe* ... I've already booked an appointment with the Royal Pets Paradise (recommended by Eunice) on the 17th (one week later the price will go up becuz of the CNY) as well as the transport. His eyes are now permanently shaded by his fur (really wonder if he can see anything) and people are calling him FAT cuz of his fluffy fur (I fluff it up after i shower him).

Oh I've been trying to get rid of the stains on his beard and paws (really regret giving him flavoured rawhides) with this shampoo meant for dogs with white fur (has a pic of a cute Bichon in front) ... worked a little but his bread is still RED ... *sigh* I couldn't find this other brand as recommended by someone else in a forum, so i'll just try this one out first. In anycase, this one I got is good too, since it is a tearless formula ... as rascal squirms and tries to escape everytime he gets a shower, he ends up being wet from head to toe (ya and he looks a very wet rat) ...

I'm trying to persuade my hubby to get a second dog. He says no time for it and it's double the costs! I am going for "but Rascal needs a gf! he's all alone when we go to work!" line ...

so far he's agreed to consider it if I get a pay rise of at least $500 ... *sigh* let's hope my boss reads this and loves me enough to give me that raise :P

oh *rofl* i finally got my confirmation letter ... dated April 2004!
