Kimmy & Chewie's Blog (9)

Another fun-filled day at the Bangkok Triathlon yesterday. Chewie and I went along to support DH as usual.

Here's Chewie at the Start/Finish line. He's entered in the Canine 1-2 years category.

Check out Chewie in his triathlon gear. Ready to swim,…

Chewie got bit in the face by a labrador who was off-leash today :(

It happened at our weekly Obedience class. The labrador (name Tara) belonged to a former student of the class and the owner brings her here pretty regularly and she's always off-leash. I've seen both of them a few times before. Chewie even played with Tara 5 minutes before the incident.

5 minutes before class started, I decided to take Chewie for a "warm up". He was heeling nicely when we walked pass Tara…

Earlier this month, DH and I went on a holiday in Tokyo, Japan. We're very lucky to be there at the right time to see the gorgeous sakura (cherry blossoms) which only happens for 1 week out of the year.

It was also the first time we travelled overseas since…

DH entered in another triathlon this weekend, so we took Chewie along on a 3-hour drive to seaside town of Rayong.

Here's Chewie in the car with DH's bicycle. "Mommy, are we there yet?"

A few weeks ago, I bought a frisbee to play with Chewie.

After a bit of a rocky start, he's now getting the hang of it and is able to catch it in mid-air. It's really fun and we both have a great time!! I think that doodles are incredibly agile and athletic. My previous dog was a golden retriever and he was not able to catch a frisbee to save himself.

DH and I still needs to practice on our throws though 'coz we're still not able to consistently throw it in a straight…

A few months ago, we participated in a walk-run charity event in the park. Each lap participants made, a dogfood company donates a 15kg bag of dogfood to a dog shelter which is under the Royal Patronage of Princess Pa.

One of the photographers there took a picture of us (Chewie, DH and I) and the published it in a leading national magazine under social section. Here's the picture of that page.…

The flooding in Thailand has not improved. In fact, might be getting worst as maybe parts are under 1-2 meters of water and water levels are not expected to recede for at least another MONTH!

Water's moving down from the north and have now reached the northern suburbs of Bangkok.

The capital city of Bangkok has many flood gates which protects it from…

Over the last few months, heavy rains have caused many provinces in Thailand to flood.

It's one of the worst floods we've seen in years...so far 140 people have lost their lives and over 2 million homes have been affected.

Not only humans are affected by this flood, but dogs too. Here's a heart-breaking picture of a family of…

Chewie's dad (my husband) was entered in the Queen's Cup Hua Hin International Triathlon in August 2011.

Hua Hin is a sea-side town about 2.5 hours drive south from Bangkok.

I found a dog-friendly hotel in Hua Hin and took Chewie along to support his daddy.

The triathlon involves a 1.5km swim, 45km bike ride and a 10km run.

Here's Chewie…
