Tania's 3rd Christmas, a photo by trishastrove on Flickr.

Its a couple of hours to Countdown here in Singapore, but Tania wanted to share a little of her 3rd Christmas with you ...

A package arrived just at Christmas-time; looking at the message, it was obviously for The Princess


A little bit of pouting went on as she had to smile for the camera before she could have it ;-)
We told her what Santa said about "not pouting" ... ;)



So she put on some of her best smiles ....


Nowwwwwww .... ?????? !!

Hi there 'lil fella .....

" Will my little kisses make you get better faster Mummy ??? " ....., a photo by trishastrove on Flickr.

After 3 weeks of wearing a tight cast hoping that my broken metatarsal would fuse on its own, unfortunately it DIDN'T, so I had surgery last week for a little metal itty bitty implant, to do its job with the split bone. Not a huge surgery, but very uncomfortable and cumbersome nonetheless.

I've just started moving around a little the last couple of days, and recuperation is going to be another uncomfortable few weeks with this heavy foot, and I have to wait even longer to start driving, coz its my right foot .... oh man ... !!

Initially, poor Tania would watch worriedly from a distance when she saw me limping strangely with the crutches, but she's more relaxed with it now, and gives me lots of Get Well kisses every day ....

I feel so bad for her, coz when my life is on hold, so is hers.

A new footrest for Tania ...

A Tania-mania week .......

Its been pretty much "Tania-mania" week, with therapy, therapy, therapy.

Zoe is back for only a short period of time, and armed with her course completion of the WaterWork at the PetMassage Institute in Ohio, USA which is a higher level of water therapy to aid dogs like Tania, we brought her for her FIRST ever visit to the beach. Needless to say, it was a very exciting day for her.

After aqua-therapy in the sea, she had physio in the van - with music & aroma-therapy (oh lawd - the Princess, if only I should be so lucky), but to be fair to her however, living with daily pain, she does deserve to be a happy girl :)











" Nice wind blowing ..... "


"Oh oh ..... here comes the rain - time to escape to the van "


Looking all dozey and relaxed after her physio, music & aromatherapy :)


Will post the FUN pixs later.

TANIA

Tania ends her 2010...

.... on a happy note by spending New Year's Eve with one of her most favourite persons in the world... ZOE.
Zoe was sweet enough to squeeze in one more much needed physio session for Tania before she leaves for California again, in a couple of days time.
They exchanged hugs, gifts and goodbyes...till Zoe returns again in mid 2011.
The pampered pot is already chomping (hand-fed, yes) on Zoe's present of smoked ribs, and has a special gift nicely wrapped up for her in return.














Zoe opens her gift ... Does she like it ??? What d'ya think ???


















Zoe's kinda playful, and teases Tania by trying her T-shirt on her for size ... haha ..... notice her "Now they're messing with me, huh? " look ... :), and figures she may as well play along ...






So ... Zoe ...does it fit ?? wagggs :)))))

Goodwill, Good Cheer, Good Tidings

to all loved ones, friends and everyone out there :)
May the spirit of Christmas be with you each & every day.

With loads of love,
TANIA xoxo & family






Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

National Day Parade 2010 & Fireworks

Tania watching our NDP 2010 Fireworks & Dancers LIVE this evening at around 8.00 p.m. The sounds and bursts of colours from the fireworks kept her captivated for quite awhile.

Its Sunday morning Mummy .....

..... I know you're leaving for Mass.... but have you forgotten something ?????

~ double-click on pix to find out why she looks so mopey .. :) ~

Its Thursday :)))

and Linda & Michelle have come to pick me up in the Pawsitive Sensations van, and I'm off for my swim with my friend, Jojo .....
but ... not without giving Michelle a kiss before we go.
Mummy can only manage bringing me once or twice a week, so Linda & Michelle make sure I get my hydro-therapy every Thursday, not to mention a massage right after that ... am I a Princess or what :)))))











"Bye-bye Mummy .... see you later :))) "

P.S. And so she's off, in a pooch's carriage .... , yes, a "branded" van ... if only I could be so lucky ...... sigh .........

" D'drink ... "

I'm hot and sweaty from my evening romp and "she" gets the "D' drink" ?? And I had to do my leg exercises too!

No fair! OK Tania ... now, work those eyes, work those eyes. Yes, yes, she's falling for it ~!

Oh joy ... here it comes ;-)))))
