There will not be a tree and decoration this year because no one knows what the puppy might be up to. When she's good, she's a cuddly teddy bear. When she's naughty, she's a baby bitch (literally and figuratively). It's best to avoid singing: Wreck the halls, this naughty puppy...

I sat on the floor, cross-legged and gently called out to her. Slowly, she ambled into the room, climbed onto my lap and laid there like a baby.

There I was, sitting quietly on the floor reading and unloading the weight of the hectic week, when I was startled by a speeding brown ball of fluff which ran into my room and gleefully pounced onto my lap. Before I could avoid the collision, I was already defeated; ambushed by a puppy. <!-- nuffnang --> http://chocolate-cheese.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-ambush.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Miss Lime)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602810.post-252491251561411967Fri, 20 Jun 2014 16:00:00 +00002014-07-05T18:50:39.007+08:00puppy love Once again, the stealthy Kayla swung into swift action after eyeing the object of her burgeoning desire, ie. my fluffy slipper, for one seeks with vengeance what one cannot have. Only this time, she got caught red-pawed. Nonetheless, her insolence, fueled by the knowledge that she could get away with chewing up objects, served as a reminder of my defeat when confronting cuteness. <!-- http://chocolate-cheese.blogspot.com/2014/06/caught-red-pawed.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Miss Lime)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602810.post-2266679481623361520Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:00:00 +00002014-07-05T18:46:02.035+08:00puppy love While enjoying a cup of yoghurt, I heard the fast patter of soft paws running into my room. At the corner of my eye, I caught the sight of a teddy bear-like critter pattering in and out of my room. One can't help but wonder what did Kayla steal from the room this time. I got up to follow her, only to find Kayla biting onto my land lady's slipper as she was walking away. <!-- nuffnang --> http://chocolate-cheese.blogspot.com/2014/06/sneaky-bear.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Miss Lime)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602810.post-2338009374880911285Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:00:00 +00002014-07-05T18:49:11.110+08:00puppy love A master at playing the innocent card, Kayla walked into my room and ran out with my fluffy slipper - TWICE! When I scolded her, she laid at the door with a downcast look of guilt. Then, slowly but slyly, she inched into my room and snuck into my heart.

I try to warn them. Everyday, it is a wild adventure having to fend off lurking monsters and living a dangerous life. Sometimes, the broom is full of witchcraft.

They make it their right to make whiny noises in the early morning demanding immediate attention, just because they can. I guess, being cute does come with its perks.
