CRUSTACEAN LOVERS

Live crabs handpicked and sent to the wok and into the guts of these two killer-kids of mine!

SALTED EGG YOLK-CRAB

The kids simply love this dish. They literally licked the shells clean. Their father has a hand in making them eat overly salty foods. From a tender age they were encouraged to finish up their food by adding dashes of soy sauce. Hence.

TO THE MUSEUM, TO THE MUSEUM

Aha, today Beverly will visit the National Museum, a trip organised by her school. Her first ever visit. She's 15. Mine was when I was only 9. Shame on me; lousy parent! And then to the Palace. Of course she will only walkabout at the foregrounds of the Palace. She thought she could have a cuppa and teacakes with our Agong. Have fun, Girl!

OLIVER A-GROCERY SHOPPING

This little cutie pie can now sit in a shopping cart! Out shopping at Jaya Grocers.

SHENTON'S WOUND ALMOST HEALED

This picture was taken a day after Shenton was treated at the Vet's. Pretty fast, I'd say!

MULTI-TASKING

Beverly studying and simultaneously practising her acrobatic skills.

OUCH! DANG THOSE MAGGOTS!

This is our first and hopefully last experience with ugh, maggots. We started rearing dogs 12years ago. Our Min. Pinscher, Rocky, albeit blind in both eyes, is still with us. Our second one, Poncho, was a Shih Tzu and the third was Jasper, a very obedient Poodle. Both died of cancer. Then we had a mix breed in Cody which we gave away to a wonderful canine-loving couple. After Poncho died my friend bought me Shenton for my birthday. Then we bought Chutney, a beautiful Jack Russell Terrier. 3canines, 3teens, 4adults, a baby. Yep, the 3canines are more obedient than the 3teens.

MAGGOTS IN SHENTON'S LEG

While bathing Shenton, my Shih-Tzu, I discovered this menacing hole in his hind leg. According 2our Vet, Shenton had a cut that attracted flies which in turn laid eggs into the wound. Maggots set in soon after. The Vet made Jon hold a flashlight while he inserted a tweezer into the hole n extracted five big maggots. They were 5days' old. Gave the poor thing a jab, antibiotics and a blue coloured spray. All for RM155. Yes, Jon did throw up. In the car.
