Dogs and Wolf Behaviors

It all started with Trixie, that got me reading up on Dogs, and now Wolves and their behavior traits - to help understand the insecurities that Trixie is facing, and for me to understand why she's acting like that.
Okay, the geeklet in me just wants to know - because I dont do mediocre when it comes to something I own.

It's either better than average or awesome knowledge - coz I dont like people telling me what to do, unless I ask, or deem them in a better authority/ more experienced than me.
#FeministPride.
*thumbs chest*

with the exception of maths and numbers ok?
Lol.

Dogs and wolves aren't too far apart, as they share common ancestry which in turn - shares common behavioral traits.
Uh.. I dont want to rattle too much about this bit.
Very sciencey and DNAish.
*yawns*
So anyway, our dogs are domesticated - and so many forums out there with people sharing their "true stories and plenty of advise" - truth be told - I got bored reading up on that portion already.

So reading into the primal ancestry seemed a little more exciting to me now.
Everyone's got a dog - only a few people's got a wolf right?
Yay!
So lesser you-know-its spamming on forums and websites.

Wolf reading is pretty much an interesting insight to me, but too long winded to share.

Some snippets relating to Trixie and her separation anxiety howling:

Wolves howl for several reasons, when lost - they howl to relocate with their pack as every wolf has its own voice characteristics.
They would also howl when they are in distress.

I'm still trying to figure out if Trixie thinks she's lost at home, or that i'm lost out of home - which is why she howls like mad whenever she's home alone.
There is not need for distress in the place she camps out at day and night right?
That's not quite the main reason, i'm just sprouting nonsense here..
if dog psych was this easy - my dog would be sleeping, not yelling whenever I leave home.
---

On why our body language speaks alot more than the "stupid" commands that we conditioned them to learn.

The alpha wolf is the "leader" of the pack.

It leads the wolf pack in a hunt, determine where the pack is to sleep, when to wake up, and also to lead the pack on a defence attack again other dangerous animals

The alpha-ness is displayed in many formats in their world.
Such as the position of their tails, ears and head.
The super subservient ones practically are very loser.
Tail have to hang down, ears have to be flattened, pee have to squat (regardless of gender) head have to bow low.
So loserish. Meh.

Oh and there's also submissive peeing - which is like an apology from the wolf.
Seriously, it wasn't funny, I didn't like having pee all over my foot when she did that with me.

My point is Cesar Milan - the dog whisperer -  always makes dog obedience look super easy and effortless.

Half the time on TV, he talks alot and pose/stand around doing nothing, acting cool, with his "tch" finger prodding action...
Because it was his body language that was communicating with the rebellious dog while to us, he looks exactly like he's doing NOTHING.
That stupid "tch" finger prodding thing DID NOT WORK on my dog leh.
She's not even disturbed by it InRealLife.
#Waste Time.

anyway, back to body language and dominance -
I'm slowing getting the hang of it - actually just tweaking my common reactions to her did the trick.
Just look at the feeding video I took earlier!
*beams*

No need to say anything, it really came quite naturally once I was shown how the feeding is done!
*thumbs chest again with pride*
Lol

Rainbows!

I was doing some online light reading, when I chanced upon the Top 15 Young Female Entrepreneurs and their rising companies article. All of them under 30 years old.

Trying to inspire myself to work hard and all yo!

One thing leads to another, and I ended up browsing in Dannijo,  an accessories/Jewellery website.

Apparently they grossed over 1 Million in revenue - I could not resist a look see!

Love the crazy colors that they use for their collection, and their design is quite a change from the boring stuff that I usually stare at, in Singapore.

Picked out a couple of my favourites for fun, and I did somehow mentioned that I'll blog about rainbows and unicorns right?

I present to you my take of rainbows!

This is by far my favourite! 

The Galapagos

Freaking rainbow and pretty!

But I reckon it looks alot better when closed up and laid out nicely.

It Looks decent on the model - and probably when it comes to me, it'll just be a tangled mess.

Coz Im quite usually quite animated, the necklace would prolly end up swishing around alot, and making it very distracting to whoever I'm meeting.

Haha.

I also like how they called the "Stacked" effect as the Arm party.

X always calls me an accessory gypsy - coz I wear so much accessories out all the time.

But when your arm has a party - the more the merrier isn't it?

That makes total sense now. 

Yay!  :)

This Tribal inspired arm party is damn gorgeous when worn together can?
OMG, i'm in love with these rainbows.
*teary eyes*

In real life, I'm looking forward to the Aurelie Bidermann woven bracelets though!

The bracelets are very Bohemian chic - which is very apt for my spring summer wardrobe (Mine! Not yours - Lol ).

These woven bracelets also reminded me of friendship bands that I used to braid for fun - it's just that the Aurelie ones are chio-er and much more wearable!

I guess it's less juvenile looking, with this touch of grown up weight added to it.

Just Look at the coral / vermillion midnight blend

and this midnight black theme.

So Chio (pretty) when worn alone, and yet equally gorgeous when stacked!

If you ask me, these bracelets look very do-it-yourself-able.

I've been procrastinating and procrasting since christmas, and hey! It's almost the end of February - and I'm just sourcing around for the chains - to embark on my new project!

So excited, and so unlike me to share in advance.

But Heck! It's my birthday week, and I'm still in a jolly mood.

So here we go! My next accessory must have!

DIY- Aurelie inspired - woven bracelet.

I shall keep the chosen colors as a secret - which usually works out to be "I- have-not- decided- on- the- colors- yet".

For the keen and lazy ones - I saw Forever 21 selling a similar enough bracelet for... less than $10 (I think).

So if you're not particular about the color and design, i'll suggest that you can take that option.

Told you I'm such a generous person this week.

ok Nights!

Fashion faux Pas

Random thought - journeying in town
What most girls interpret wrongly or rather what annoys me most.


Wardrobe faux pas #1
Less is more rule - wearing lesser fabric does not necessary means looking sexy.
It just looks skanky.
It is an art to balance out a short skirt or a skimpy skanky dress without looking like a street walker at Orchard towers.

"more" is better anticipated.
Gifts are usually more exciting when it is nicely wrapped, and subsequently unwrapped.
Of course i'm not expecting anyone to 100% wrap themselves up like an egyptian mummy.
It's just that covering more body parts generally leaves more room for the imagination - which in turn makes you alot sexier than exposing just alot of meat.

The Exposé tendency, often reminds me of a typical durian seller hacking open their durians with a point to prove - that their goods are "fresh" and worth the purchase.
Personally to me - it's called trying too hard.
If your goods are good, you scared no body want to "buy" meh?

This sort of nonchalence that I'm talking about here - is what most people call confidence (but with a very truthful mirror)

I quote X " it's usually people with nothing to flaunt that's trying their hardest to show off"
When we met a plump friend at the beach, as she promptly strips off  to her wicked weasel thong+bikini for a tan,  All I saw was cellulite, and her wrinkly and not-so-perky ass.
God save my eyes.
As if the normal bikini bottom wasn't bad enough, she had to be in a THONG.
WTF!
But I must give her +50 points for the bravery, to strut around almost 90% naked.

For the entire afternoon, I refused to remove my tank top and shorts albeit my bikini underneathe - in case people think we're very very good friends.
The power of association is a very dangerous thing ok..

I later went home to scrub my bum for good measure.
Lol - Cant blame me for being paranoid can you?

Wardrobe faux pas #2
Overkill - When undecided just bring out all the treasures!
The more the merrier!


So you've got the face, the boobs, the figure, the legs and the new shopping loots.
Choose one or 2 assets that you wanna show case for the day.

Showing off everything in a day is an overkill.
Cues boob tube, short bandage skirt, stacked killer heels, too much/too thick make up, 20 bangles, 5 necklaces, sequinned big bow hairband and chunky earrings.
What are you?
Christmas tree, clown or human?

Wardrobe faux pas #3
Sucks to be me - No one loves me anyway...
One word - SLOPPY
What fashion?
Sloppy Tee and shorts will do + flip flops - I dont give a shit.
Wha... that's obviously the fastest way to leave home.
Get out of bed and wear the pajamas out of home.
Sure save on the laundry bit and shopping money too.

Making zero effort to dress up when you are going out to meet people, are you expecting people to look forward to meeting you?

You obviously dont give a hoot about the person you are meeting, and neither do you give a hoot about the way you present yourself.
Sounds superficial?

Maybe - but I believe that food cooked with effort, taste alot better than instant noodle or something put together haphazardly.

Food with better presentation - when consumed, makes one's appetite better.
Like wise, when effort and thought is placed into looking presentable, it shows and conveys to the person you are meeting that he/she is worth the extra effort.

Wardrobe faux pas #4

The Photostats - Girl A, Girl B, Girl P, Girl S, Girl Z all look like they are mass produced.

Same dress/top/skirt, same hair, same bag, same shoes - just different color and fabrics.

Are you clone or human?
Dont you have your own brains to decide on something different like shave off one eyebrow or something?

What makes Katy perry and Lady Gaga special is because they aren't made from the same cookie cutter.

Whatever ! At the end of the day - its just my personal opinion over the common fashion faux pas that I see in girls.
* I must stress that I've personally met and seen girls in this life time who are capable of breaking all the faux pas rules listed and still look damn enchantingly gorgeous.

I'm not saying NEVER.
But special talents like these are pretty hard to come by - To date, I can still count with both hands the number of talented girls i've met or seen in this life time.
Just ranting off what usually irks me IMHO.

Ok enough of bitchy Daphne.
Dinner awaits!
Hunger always brings out the angsty-ness/ Bitchy dragon within.
I'll post about rainbows and unicorns after dinner k?

Unwell

Feeling melacholy from various matters.
Mainly just alot of disappointments from expectations.
Frustrations bottled up
Routines that bores me.

And somewhat Matchbox 20's song came to my head.
Kinda apt for my current mood.
The official video disabled embedding, so we'll have to make do with this "lyrics" version that I found.



I'm not crazy i'm just alittle impaired.

No it's not the end of the world for me yet.
I'm just uninterested with alot of things.
I just lost my happy mojo - and I will get it back with some time.
I just need a short break from my madness and find back that equilibrium within.

Perhaps its time to skip town for awhile.

Tracking Trixie's progress

Most would probably have gathered that Trixie my newly adopted Mini Schnauzer is suffering from a really bad case of Separation anxiety.
By adoption, I literally mean taking her from another family into my home.
It's been 1 month 4 days since she first set foot into my place - and this post is written purely to track her progress, as she's settles into my family.

Just exactly how bad is her condition - ahh this is going to be one really long post.

The initial first 2 weeks, she whines and bark whenever I head out.
I started to realize the severity whenever I head out on Clubbing nights, it's usually like 11.30pm/12am when I leave home, and she'll whine and progress to bark even if Mom and the brother is at home.
Mom the light sleeper gets frustrated - and I'll come home to see this weird scenario of a chair in awkward position, her sleep pen shifts, a cane is nearby and I'll be like "uh oh" to myself.
Of course the complaints would come in the next day, when the mother wakes up.

There was also the tell tale sign of a scratched up main door,
Chewed up heel.
She tore the balcony decorative tiles up.
Broke out from her fenced up area - I swear she's an escape artist in her previous life.
coz Her escaping IQ is damn baffling awesome.
She'll pee + poop all over the place
Shadows me ALOT
and the list goes on...

I thought to myself that the doggie just needed some practise, and so I arranged some practise session of myself of "fake" leaving home like 50 times in 3 hours.
It was a total horror story can?

She whine, bark, howl and goes into some blasting routine.
From afar - it sounded like Someone at home was whipping her non stop with a leather leash, burning her with a iron hot tong and other crazy torture device.
I'm surprised that the SPCA hasn't showed up yet.

Yet the only thing I did, was to leave her alone at home.
I deviced this little creep in plan - to creep in by the back door just to observe through the glass panel of the kitchen door...and it was terrible!

She was so fixated about me going out that she did not even realize that I was actually hanging out at the kitchen.
She kept staring. barking, going nuts towards the direction of my main door.

Okays.
We fast forward things alittle.
It's been about 2 weeks since I've gotten a little help and advise on dealing with her right.

Simple things that I do on a daily basis - that I really ought not to do, helps to calm her down.
I try to spend as much time possible, to work on the concepts I've learnt and she seems to be improving a little.
Of course, i'm also learning to be a better "pack leader" through my daily actions (those who follow the dog whisperer program would be very familiar with the term)
Apparently, I cannot carry her when standing up. At best I can give her a bear hug when i'm seated on the floor.
The idea is not to "baby" the dog too much

I have to ignore her first thing when Im home.
Setting foot through the door.
No matter how much she pounce and do her kangaroo stuff, I have to ignore her until she stops kangaroo-ing while nudging her away.

Waking up too.
Emerging from my bedroom, I do similar stuff - which is to be nonchalant and potter around the house, then noticing her very nonchalantly - even though the purpose of me setting foot out of my room was to like feed her?
FML #ActressAward
Wake up still need to do so much things.
#TooMuchEffortRight.

Dashing out of the main door has since decreased.
Her kangaroo pouncing to greet me/us when we get home has decreased too.

She's more cooperative with her meal time affair - learnt some cooperative discipline actually without me giving commands to sit, stay and go. We do that solely through body language. (Reminds me of the fundamental concepts of Salsa dancing - haha)

Learnt that Kitchen boundaries and mommy's room is strictly out of bounds - otherwise she'll get it bad from mommy.
She's improved on her leash walking - goodbye rope burns.
#SaveMyPoorOverworkedHands

Tugging is minimal after making some adjustment to the way I hold the leash.
I have also upgraded her walking equipment.

She still follows me like a shadow, but she seems comfortable enough to run off to do her own stuff, or check on the others at home, before coming back to me.

Her "home alone" barking/whining/howling is still inccessant - but i've made effort to make recordings everytime she's alone at home - and review them when I reach home.
She's still barking until someone comes home - but I noticed that she'll take longer breaks in between her next bark routine.

I'll very much like to visualise that between those long breaks of silence, she's just really chewing toys, taking a drink, running around, nap alittle, before she wakes up and bark,howl,whine out of habit.
That's my only comforting thought, after finding out that my dog cries until I/ bro/mom get(s) home.
#heartpain #truestory

Her toileting is still TERRIBLE.
For an 8, going 9 months old puppy, she's a complete bladder, bowel failure.

Admittedly, Trixie has alot more in terms of settling in our household, but she's improving in her own little way.
It's going to be a looooooooong way more to go, but we'll eventually manage - albeit my very poorthing hands - from too much wiping and moping to do.
Weehhh...
Just alittle more effort contribute by everyone in the family, and I'm sure she'll improve day by day.

At the end of the day, she's still very endearing in her own little way..
Like this silly expression she gives me, after she's done with her food.
She stands next to her food bowl, gives me sad puppy eyes - Hoping to get seconds.

Nope. Whatever it is, I stick to 2 feedings a day and sometimes a wedge of apple in between meal times just to freshen up her breath, or a dog treat because its the weekend and she deserves something special~

Feeding apples to dog is ok.

Just remove the seed+core - it' where the poisonous cyanide seeds lies in.

This picture was taken after I gave her an ice cube to play with.
I bet it was fun to lick and sniff something so cold.

It melted away shortly and I said "no more" to her, despite that look she gave me.

awwww....

I gave her another ice cube to play with about an hour later because she looked so cute.

Haha.

At least I waited for a hour before relenting!

Valentines Day.

Those who know me well know that I'm not a commercial girl.
I dont do Valentines day - because it's boring that way.

So anyway - to those who believe in that ONE particular day that makes you feel special like a "princess" as like the next billion people, happy valentines day!

Dressed Trixie up in her Heart Dracula costume (its her fleece blanket in my room...but it's apt for the occasion)

And in case you think that the Bunny has lost favour in my books, nope - I still feed and play with him everyday!

It's just tougher to take pictures with him / for him because the Doggie would whine/be jealous and it's just for his safety.

:(

Pretty boy hor?

I took him out to bounce around a couple of weeks back, and this bugger took the chance to taunt Trixie who was stuck behind the cage.

Lol.

Pet rivalry.

Tsk.

Shopping on behalf of the Dog

Went shopping after my meeting today.
I Crawled up really early and met up with Client for a job brief.
#SoProudOfMyself.

Went shopping, and finally bought Trixie's Pink water bowl from Pet Lovers.
The Holland Village branch sucks! Insisted that the only color available will be lime green forever, until someone buys it away.
WTF.

Lime green totally clashes with the home deco, the dog, and isn't even the top of my favourite color list.
Blah!

So Every Petlover Center that I chance upon, i'd check on the color availability.
It was always yellow, green, yellow, blue, no stock.
and finally! Yay! It's pink today at Plaza Singapura!

I wanted purple actually. *cues dissatisfied face*
But nevermind, pink definitely beats the yellow, green, blue and the sad fate that my dog has to die of thirst when I'm out of the house for a looooong period of time.

I also bought her a couple of toys - Nyla bone in blue *hecking the color - becase I think Nylabone and Petlovers are like not friendly, and it seems to me that both parties aren't intending to stock up for life.
#pathetic

I need to hunt down the Nylabone keys that Xiaobai used to have.
Just look at the lazy bum gnawing at his set of nyla keys.
I miss that little bugger, and i'm very sure he's doing fine.

Fret not Trixie, you'll get your keys soon when you turn 21! (*you know how most asian kids/girls gets a gold key pendant when we turn 21 as a symbolic gesture of turning into an Adult ) Ok lame.. I get it.
Lol.

Trying to recall where I saw them lately.

Til I hunt the ring of keys down, the blue Nyla would suffice.

I also chose this greyish looking stuff bone from Daiso for Little miss monster.

It has a double squeaky in it.

The little furry miss was absolutely delighted - I forgot to video that down

I also got her some fleece blankets to make bedtime more.. comfy and appealing.

Pastel polka dots just to match her new PINK water bowl

XD

Claud never fails to remind me how "gao chey" (picky/troublesome/particular) a person I am.
Everything must be done my way, no more - no less.
I know.
I'm bossy and fussy like that.

I thank everyone for bearing with my quirks so far.
I meant well, really.
Lol.
---
Shopping for the dog - made me realize the lack of selection in aesthetically pleasing items for pets.

I've been rather unhappy with the dog collar selections that I've been acquainted of late.
They are HIDEOUS.
ok, so there was one chio one with pink base and rainbow hearts - but it was too big for Trixie.
@#*%
Rwarrr!!!

Dissatisfied once again, I went online and googled for Pretty dog collars.
Just so that I could tell myself that there was still hope in mankind and dogkind shopping.

I present to you my picks from google generated shopping.
I have absolutely no intention of getting.
Just lusting for fun.

Here we go!
Juicy couture's yellow daisy with leather collar.
Nice right?

This one's from Coach

Love the little bow and charm

LV's bow/ribboned collar.
Such prim and proper collar that ooze upper dog society in the social ranks.
lol
I bet in SG, the LV collared dog will be labelled Ah Lian/Ah Beng.
Hahahah.

Vintage inspired Pink Diamante chain with teardrop pendant.

Chio!

It's one of those chio chio collar that Trixie should own, and perhaps pass on to her offsprings in future as a doggie heirloom/ Schnauzer heritage.

Well, well....
I think too far.
Haha.

I'm starting on my little project for her collar.
Too tired from folding origamis to start on her collar project tonight.

I downloaded some origami app the other night, and i'm on this massive origami folding stint.
Did up 2 flowers, 2 Ninja darts, 1 frog, 1 Star, 1 windmill and crane in one night.

I need sleep.
Now.
Goodnight.
Ending off with a picture of my flowers.

Mango, Kate moss and Fashion

Mango!
The fashion boutique that is.

Been living off Mango clothes since my days in Design school.
Lydia and I would go nuts whenever the word Sale and Mango coincide.

Freaking ardent fans we are.
We do not just settle for one Mango outlet, instead - we're traipse to many outlets surrounding town.
Those were the days.

Things were quite the same when I set foot into University.
The classmates would chip in and get me Mango shopping vouchers as gifts for my birthday gifts.
I loved Mango fashion with all my heart and soul.
I kept every single fashion catalogue for every season, and until recent spring cleaning resolution decrees that I can only keep some of my treasure catalogues, I thew away quite a fair bit.

My point is, I've been a Mango Fanatic for YEARS (*I shop smartly, not buy the entire shop down) until they stupidly decide to collaborate with the Cruz sisters.
It becomes annoying, because the collaboration designs become so Meh.
I stopped buying from Mango.

It started with a drastic decrease in purchases, there was nothing in the shop for me to lust for - to no interest in their sale items - to total zero step in to Mango for a really long time.
Sure i'll browse and walk in occasionally - spending a total of 5 mins walk around the shop if there was a sale banner screaming 50% off, and leave.

Zara was my best friend during the years that Mango failed me. especially the Trafaluc collections.

I did a google search - and apparently 2008/2009 was the year the cruz sisters invaded my beloved Mango with the collaboration.
Hello Penelope cruz, please stick to acting - your designing skills sucks.
Monica - you too.

It's 2012 now.
That's like a total 2-3 years that I was off the label.
My point is, my dear friend recently dragged me into their shops - and I think I found a couple of items that I would not mind trying and turns out - I like one of their summer dresses ALOT.
Oops.

Not to mentioned, I later received the pretty dress from my dear friend as a gift.
Love the sweetie to bits for that.
*It was the last piece in my size, and it was reserved. The sweetie coerced the sales lady to sell it to her, which eventually became mine!
Glib tongue she has.. *impressed*

Anyway, that new dress establish a new 20% confidence in Mango, and I found out that Kate Moss is their catalogue model for the spring season!
Hurray!
Clothes for the SKINNEH AGAIN.
I'm not THAT skinny, but ahhh you get it - usually new face = new style.
Bye Penelope and Monica.
Would it be rude of me to say good riddance?
( I have no idea if they're still trying their hand in fashion design with Mango... so the early celebrations might be prematured..)

My point is, I do not have a latina hot bod curves like J.Lo or the Cruz(s), neither do I fancy flowery smoochzy clothes that makes me look like an old indonesian tai tai.
So I fancy dressing my age, and something that would complement my chopstick body.

I present to you my picks from their spring 2012 catalog.
No I dont intend to buy them all - because I am still battling a bursting wardrobe circa 2000 AD

So here we have Kate Moss in the black and white collection
I like the clean details they are introducing to the collection.
No more crazy frills, fluff, ruffles + flowery patterns, and other ugly over whelming details.
In short, no more latina style.
Drives me nuts.

Me likey the pants set featured on the right below.
So casual and fun.
I like the rugged girly feel.
Contemplation in progress..

This dress creates an "hour glass" figure for the hipless people like me.
But neh, i'll skip the dress.
Too girly and plain.

There's also my favourite color combinations!
The white and gold/khaki/beige.
I glow in white.
So white is like my brain dead color by default.
#Truestory
After the dreary Winter colors, Spring colors is sooooooo
so clean, so pastel, so refreshing!
*I know - was already wearing spring colours in my previous post

Red, purple and pink comes next - dependent on the seasons..

Loving the Clutch above, and the long blazer vest below.

Lastly, the inspirational piece that I've been eyeing, since I got my hands on their Catalogue.
Pink and silver combination!
I heart the baby pink denim shorts!
This would be my must have piece for Spring.
Together with the silver grey combination, from the rest of my wardrobe.
So sweet huh!

I've been favouring gold hues for too long, time for a change!

ok that's all....
Im gathering time to paint my nails in my new favourite combination.
Yay!

Will Smith on Sucess.

So true right?
Haha

Trixie with love

Doggie spent the afternoon stoning at home with me, and I decided that a new furcut deserves a photobooth time for the doggie!

After some tug, struggle and creative differences, we present to you, Trixie and Daphne with love!

I guess the dog is semi resigned to the fate that she'll have to take lots of photo, like it or not.

Hahah!

I'm already designing her new collar - will show off the finalized collar when it's up!

I figured that this is an awesome month to splurge on the furry one at Petlovers because it's my birthday month!
Woohoo!
Lots of wallet damage involved, and I thought it's supposed to be my birthday, so why the heck am i spending so much, is totally beyond me.
Haha.

---

I found this random picture of Honey bitbit and I in the phone.
Woke up from a nap and was in a relatively good mood, therefore the pictures.
So here we go, No make up, no contact lens.
Just plain beady eyes just like the bitbit.

I think the sunlight took away alot of flaws, so me likey it alot.
Whooppee!

xoxo

Trixie in February

Posting up a video of Trixie with new tricks.
She's camera shy, therefore looking very stiff when showing me her tricks.

Somehow it is funny how she has this Standard procedure when doing her tricks.

It has to be Sit, offers both her right and left paw, before sliding down to the floor, and rolling over.
I'm trying to get her to understand that "bang" means feigning "dead" in her favourite dead cockroach pose, but she on the other hand, seems to think that "bang" just means posing still after a roll.

But still it's good progress for a 3 days old "roll" trick.
Yay!



However, post CNY holidays, Trixie has been acting like a monster lately.

I'm not sure what happened along the way, but lately she seemed really crazy - whenever I attempt to dress up and leave home.

She barks and howls like mad, whenever I leave home, and fixates all her energy and attention into getting past the big black wooden door ( Main door)
No matter how I'll cage her up, she'll just break loose/ jailbreak/ escape.
Chew on my heels (because I wear them out)
Pee poop all over the place and have a mad party.

I'll come home to a mess and a frantically pouncy dog.

Sigh.
It's frustrating to come home knowing that I have to clean up after her outburst.
A Crazy pouncing dog who claws you to death at the thighs..
and she'll stick to me like a shadow around the house.

I'm at wits end here, and have since spoken to like 2 dog obedience trainer about my Trixie problem.

Seems like the little doggles has some sort of fixation on me, caused by Separation anxiety.
#ToughLife
Apparently, she's taken it upon herself to be my protector and guardian of sorts, because she love me to bits and wants to be my leader.
Therefore she gets really stressed out when i'm out of her "protection" radar.

Funny how she allows me to sleep until really late hidden behind the doors in my room - even though it's 2-3 hours past her meal time, but GOES BARKINGLY MAD when I step out of the main door.
Weeh.
Seriously what's the difference?
Both are doors and I disappear behind the doors what.
As we speak, the doggles is camping outside my door, sniffing though the door crack.
#StalkerDog

It was so bad that I had to sneak out through back door.
(X laughed and said that i'm so poor thing. Have to "tou tou mo mo" (sneak around) in my own home.)

How sad.

It seems like I'm the only one who's having problem.
She does not seem to care if the mom or brother leaves home for work and school respectively.

Oh well.
In other news, the dog is an absolute darling whenever I am home.
Like learn tricks really quickly, sits around peacefully whenever she's around me.

Tsk!
