Miku's First Attempt to Swim = Fail

The title says it all! Yes... this post is about Miku's attempt to swim!

The idea started after me and mommy watched Pomeranian Mink's  video of her swimming in a bathtub. Mommy thought it was so cute and wondered if I could swim or not. I was supposed to be taking my afternoon nap, but mommy and daddy took me to the bathroom and decided to let me try to swim.


Swimming lesson is about to begin...

I have never tried swimming before, so I am kind of worried. According to Clowie, I am supposed to get used to the water first, so I will be less afraid. And!! The most important technique is to have CONFIDENCE and RELAX throughout the whole process.


Should I just be standing here??


The water is beginning to fill up

Still drinking...


This is my look when they dun allow me to drink ~.~


Ahhh! More water is filling up!!

Now he giving some water vibration

Later on, it turns out that I do not know how to paddle! Oh no!! When mommy holds me up, I just froze and not move at all. Seems like I could not get to paddle yet, so daddy decided to give me a bathy and let me try swimming next time.

Oooo! I gonna smell so good


I like bathy massages^^

I think I need to practice some more. Like what Pete Chan said, "Practice makes Pawfect"! Really thank you so much to Pete Chan and Clowie for the awesome advice and support because it did help me out very much! Next time I will bring a bath toy into the tub and play with it^^

Miku's Summer Furcut

I am all ready for summer. Many of the humans and my friends have seen me in my summer furcut, but I wanted to post them in my blog too. Recently, mommy and daddy took me to Groom.

*If you do not know what Groom is, please click on the following link: A Place Called Groom and check out my post about it.

Daddy dropped me off in the morning at 9:00am! Mommy gave daddy an order to take a before-picture of me with my long fur since he is dropping me off, so he took it.



I look so sad because daddy is leaving me here. The humans in Groom are very nice, but I prefer to be with daddy and mommy. The lady  (we never asked for her name) who is holding me does a great job on my furcut everytime I come. 

Mommy picked me up later on the day! I was soooo happy to see her and she was so happy to see me. She ended up forgetting to take a picture of me after my haircut while the lady was holding me. 

As mommy and me was on the way to school, I noticed that the fur on my face was not as round and perfect-looking!! Oh no no no no... no way that we had to $70 for a uneven-looking furcut. What's more to it... my fur on my ears were not trimmed.

Mommy knew right away that my furcut was not done by the lady because we come here wayyy to frequently, so we know her skills. So after class (around 5:00pm), mommy called Groom. Mommy told them that they did a bad job on my furcut and that we wanted to stop by and have my fur cut the way she wanted. The lady happily said okay.


In class with mommy^^

Miku arrived at Groom again with mommy and this time, Miku not happy and did not want to separate from mommy. So Miku growled at the lady when she wanted to take me back to the table for re-grooming. Yea... growling did not help, so Miku started to cry.

The lady trimming my fur

Turns out that the reason Groom did not trim the fur on my ear was because some dogs actually prefer that style. But since summer is on the way, Miku would like the ear furs to be trimmed. I like to look more "summerish"!! Groom actually closes at 5, but they still allowed me to come in to fix any of the imperfections. Really appreciate that from Groom.

Tired after being pampered

My summer furcut^^

I look like a fat cat with a big tail d(=^~^=)b

Dolores Park in San Francisco

Dolores Park in San Francisco is a very nice park for humans and pets. Miku and Brownie, godbrother, and our humans went for the dog party on a beautiful Saturday. So happy because mommy got a good parking spot within a few moments after we have arrived.

Walking to the park from the car

It was our first time there and we didn't know what to expect. Mommy had work and we got to Dolores Park at around 3:30pm. The place was packed!! So many humans and dogs everywhere!!

A teacup Maltese we saw

This is a gigantic dog!!

Maybe 10x or more bigger than Miku

Trying to get into the crowd

There are dogs for adoption



                            There is also dog performance in the park!!

Miku wants to play^^

Brownie making friends



The dogs and humans in the park are so nice! Miku and Brownie had dog treats too! Many free samples of dog treats and food were also given out. Extra paws-up to the humans for hosting a dog gathering/party^^

Many thanks to the group who organized the fair!!

(This event happened in the beginning of May! Hahaha! Yea... it's a bit late, but better late than never^^)
