Jack Destroyed My Hibiscus Plant

Jack was caught red-handed again eating the hibiscus plant and he almost destroyed the whole plant except for a few main branches.

The plant has been shifted to the backyard for recovery, as shown in the photo below:



















We got another hibiscus plant and has to fence it to keep Jack away from it......





Naughty Jack!

Jack Caught Eating Leaves

While Mum and Jean were doing some re-potting of a hibiscus plant, Jack was biting and chewing on some of its leaves......ha..ha...

Jack was caught red-handed and on digital image too......!

Jack In-between My Legs

Hi,

I held Jack in-between my legs and use my mobile to take a few shots of him.

It turned out quite nice and surprisingly, Jack did not move or struggled to get out ...ha...ha....

Rubby & Her Toy

Hi,

Ruby has her own toy and it is a tennis ball.

We used to bounced it on the floor and she would bark like crazy.

When she catches it with her mouth, she would guard it and growl at you. We dare not snatch it from her and would have to distract her from the ball to get it back.

Recently, in her new dog pen, we decided to let her keep her toy the whole day.

I think she senses that we are not taking it back so she will just guard it or even let it off her guard. I would take it and bounce it inside her pen to play with her.

And if I want to take it from her, I would hold her collar and pull her away from the ball as I think she will still snap at me but she has stopped growling though.

Jack & Ruby Separation

Hi,

I have made a bigger dog pen for Ruby so as to isolate her from Jack since she last attacked Jack, read my earlier postings.

Jack is allowed to roam free though since he was our first dog and given his seniority; 12 years old now.

But he is also chained occasionally when we have guests or expecting Jason's tutor in the evening as we are concerned that they open the gate too wide and Jack will make a go for it....naughty old man!




With this arrangement, we have to take Ruby out for a short walk to pee; 3 times a day. But we also take Jack out too so that he will not be jealous about it.













Ruby is enjoying her nap..... while Jack is looking inside the house and hoping to get some snacks or treats......ha...ha....

Annual Vaccinations For Jack & Ruby

Hi,

Jack & Ruby were taken to the vet for their annual vaccinations recently.

Ruby was placed in front with me and Jack was given the back seat with my housekeeper, Jean.

Unfortunately, I have muzzled Ruby to prevent her from starting a fight with Jack in the car.

At the same time, the vet also took a look at Jack's wounds and they are recovering very well.

I believe in having Jack and Ruby vaccinated yearly and dewormed.

Some dog owners do not do it as they try to cut cost but it is not advisable as it may not only harm your pets but you too, indirectly.

Dog Muzzle For Ruby

Hi,

I bought a dog muzzle for Ruby to prevent her from biting Jack; just to try it out to see if I can let two of them get together again.




After putting the muzzle onto Ruby's face, she seems so demoralised and looked so sad; staring at the ground as in shame.

So I decide not to use it except as a from of punishment if I catch her doing something wrong.

I used it the other day when I have to take both Jack and Ruby to the vet in the car.

I could not afford to have them fighting in the car!

Ruby Having Her Breakfast

Hi,

Here is a photo of Ruby eating her morning meal of dry dog food in our kitchen area.

She sleeps in a crate kept in the kitchen area at the back of the house.

So we will let her out and feed her first thing in the morning before we bring her to the car porch where she has her own dog pen.

Ruby Drinking Water

Hi,

Ruby does not drink much water and it is quite difficult to catch her doing it too, as such.

But I happen to have my mobile with me and I got a photo of Ruby drinking water, finally!

Jack drinks a lot and the whole bowl of water at one go too!

Special Treat For Jack

Hi,

Saw this chewy bone that comes with a piece of rawhide inside it; just ideal for Jack.

Jack can chew such bone easily but not Ruby.

Jack Drinking From His New Water Bowl

Hi,

I bought this new water bowl for Jack as he drinks a lot and this bowl will allow a 1 litre bottle full with water to sort of replenish the water as he drinks from it.

Neat gadget, see the video below.



The weather is so hot these days so this water bowl is really handy.

I also installed a fan on top of the shoe rack and switch it on in the afternoon to cool Jack and Ruby a bit too.

Ham Bone Treats

Hi,

I bought 2 pieces of half Ham Bone for Jack and Ruby. I used to buy the raw knuckle bones and cooked them myself but I thought I will give this a try.

I found that they dogs seems to have a hard time chewing them and the bones were pretty hard to chew.

As usual, Jack has stronger and bigger teeth so he has lesser problem with it.

I think I will stick to cooking the raw knuckle bones myself.
