meeting the extended Teo family

when I went back for CNY this year, I met 2 new members of the Teo family.

One was taking 3 days to get used to me. She sniffed me a lot and barked me when she first saw me. Okay, she was my brother's dog Macy. M's technically my dad's dog since my bro only see her in the weekend. She's a spoiled thing. She used to live in a kernel my dad and bro built but now she reigns over the whole compound! she can be found on the verandah of the house most of the time.


on Day 2, M destroyed my beloved slipper overnight!!! GRRR much to Jake's amusement. i left it on the shelf but she must have sensed the new 'toy' on the shelf.




jake spotted her chewing on mom's dendrobium and took this pic from a distance as evidence. she looked rather sheepish here. such is a life of a spoiled pet.



then there's a puppy. his name is Beggy. Beggy is black and is big for a puppy. dad got it from a fren. i was very scared of him for the first couple of days due to his size. he lives in a kernel and I do feel a bit sorry for him as he only gets to roam around at his 'business' time. he has a huge appetite and he will eat whatever that macy doesn't want on top of his own food. ie bread crust and M only eats the soft part of the bread. he always finish his dinner in record time while it takes forever for M to finish eating.

in the midst of the two canine, mom also told me about our residence reptile. it's our pet tortoise. i haven't seen it in 2 years and it's grown up by quite a lot. he used to have a mate and they used to live in an aquarium but recently my parents decided to let it go free range and the tortoise lived in the backyard. i seriously have no idea where it lives, i suspected it was underneath the pile of wooden planks ..i see it out and about at meal-time though.

here i fed him with a spoonful of rice ..his diet is mainly rice and raw veggies. this is a shy dude. if you scrutinise hard enough, you might see his head.


he's probably half to two third the size of my foot.

while tortoise is somewhere having his meal, M is having fun sniffing the backyard much to Beggy's dismay. He's barking ( he's protesting and telling M that he should be the one sniffing and playing outside)
