Eyes on Food

Here's why the tyrants tail the kid everywhere.
Messy eater translates to lots of dropped food!

Scratch scratch

Aaahhh, nothing beats a good scratch!


 




Moment

 Once in a blue moon you get a gem of a photo opportunity - and you happen to have a camera on hand!

Left

To the left, to the left! Every doggy looking to the left!
Why? I have no idea.

Baby On The Floor

       When the first human tyrant was a little baby, we kept him mostly apart from the furry tyrants. We were wary of jealousy issues as they have been our kids for so long, and might not be pleased with this hairless smelly small human that seems to consume all our attention. Also we were unsure if they are children-friendly, having never had kids around before.

       The first human tyrant was spent his time in his cot and playpen, away from furry noses and grubby paws. We had a room for him too learn to crawl and walk undisturbed by the furry tyrants. The room was off limits to the furries - they would sit crowded outside the baby gate and watch the little one try to pull himself up to stand on his little toddler feet.

       Well.. about the second human tyrant...

       Now that we know the furry tyrants have no jealousy issues (we want biscuits biscuits biscuits please mommy), are not at all interested in smaller humans (biscuits biscuits biscuits now!), and is not likely to maul or claw or eat the baby up (biscuits!! biscuits!!), we're now more relaxed with the second human tyrant. As you can guess, the furry tyrants are more fixated on biscuits than babies

       No more special room for him to learn his motor skills. This baby gets free rein to go adventuring all over the living room floor.
    
       The tyrants are very tolerant. Tagar lets him tug her ears and fur (she snaps at the older human tyrant for doing the same, but she checks if its baby, then she lets him carry on). Togo lets him pull his legs, and Gamby is forever trying to lick his face.

Red Panda



Have you seen a panda in the wild?
Here's the next best thing - a husky who thinks she's a panda!

Tyrant Rides

The smaller human tyrant is growing up fast. And already he's started bullying the furry tyrants.



No animals (and babies) were harmed when staging the photos. Of course, to get that few 'perfect shots' we got a lot of bloopers.

Water Feature

We've replaced our water feature with a new one, and no one is happier than Gamby! She loves sitting tucked into the corner of it.

What day Birth day

Gamby turned 4 on Boxing Day, December 26.

She's the only one whose birthday we consistently remember, because its such an easy date to. Tagar's birthday is on Feb something-teen, and Togo birthday is on June-or-July.

We make it up to them by giving all three of them huge treats on Gamby's birthday.
This year they shared a huge plate of their favorite treats - McDonalds fries!

Oh Shoot

I could write about it, or I could let the photos do the talking.






 In our defense, the bamboo shoots were super yummy.

Healing Holes

 The scabs on Tagar's wounds have fallen off, leaving great hairless holes in her face. She's healing well, aided with lots off hugs from baby.

Boarding Bites

We've been away.
On a longer than usual trip back to my hometown.
We had to send the dogs for 8 days of boarding.

Our regular boarding place had a change of management and was not doing too well. Someone (trustworthy) recommended us another place so we decided to give it a try.

Let's just say we're NEVER EVER going back there again.

Tyrants Daddy was back earlier than the rest of us, and he got the tyrants back from 8 days of boarding. He told me that the dogs had marks on the face but to not worry. I asked for pictures and he said the dogs were sleeping, can't take any good ones.

But he ran out and bought antiseptic spray, and lots of treats and cans of meat. And posted a very angry status on facebook. And it sounded like he spent the weekend sitting around hugging them.

Hah!

I got back 4 days later and this is what they look like.
These wounds are healing. Makes me so sad to think what their fresh wounds would have been like.



Tagar's face wound. Look at the placement of her wounds - it's obviously a full face bite. From a dog with large jaws.



The boarding caretaker had the cheek to tell us the wounds were because they were fighting with each other!

 
Gamby, who is as gentle as a lamb, has one bite wound on her snout. Togo has a wound on his leg.
All three tyrants are also noticeably thinner, but they were most probably not eating out of unhappiness rather than neglect.

Oh, poor tyrants. We're so sorry we sent you guys there.

Three in a Frame

I envy those pictures of multiple doggies posing beautifully for the camera. All those pictures of four, five, even six dogs all looking marvelous in the shot.

We only have three tyrants, and its so hard to get them in a single photo together. And in the rare chance we do, these are the kind of pictures we get.


Tales of the furry, scrunchie-eating, lovable tyrant.
