haha..i speak colorful languages...but am a hokkien...diluted one. lahir johor but origins of penang.
hmm, try the cooking on your own..and whilst cooking let benji be with you. you'll be amazed that benji can do wonders while seeing you cook for him...it's bonding time for furkids and i...that's why i have decided to cook or give them barf whereby they see me prepare. while waiting for food to thaw or cook, we play...do homework etc.
lucky benji...get treats for tricks...we don't do that with the furkids all the time...we want them to do out of love...and when they get treats too..its what we can bonus time.

haha...sakit hati when he does that right?
but let him be. he won't starve himself to death....pver time he will realise that either he eats or he feels the hunger pangs (and pains).
try home cooked food...you'll overcome the pickiness quite easily. our pickiest senior girl crackers..serve her with chicken and vegie and rice cooked in lots of water...that you have solid at the bottom of the bowl and soup on top..wow..habis makan bersih bersih...no need to wash her bowl liao!

eeee... ok lo.... i only know how to cook instant noodles only... i hope i can successfully do as you instructed.
Anyway, Benji turn me into slave. Every time it lazy to eat... it will look at me and stay on its back... wait for me to feed "euro puppy bite" directly into its mouth... is this normal or should i stop this?
My dog love to sleep most of the time or follow you like a shadow... is this normal? should i keep it in air coordinate all day or should i put it half-half (aircon and fan)? The dog seem to like air con but will turn into lazy after awhile (sleep and alot of sleep).... Entrapnet [Benji's owner]

aha...the manja hand feeding....we normally melt when they give us those pitiful looks. but really its quite a bad idea to hand feed. quit doing so and let benji learn to eat on his own. once he's hungry he will learn to eat on his own, coz he'll realise that mummy isn't going to feed me..so i better eat least i starve.
shalom is like a shadow too..everywhere i go she would follow...even if it is shower session...its a shih tzu trait in a way.
air con or fan...i leave the fan on for circulation. on a personal note i avoid as much air con as possible (despite me fearing heat more than anything) for 2 reasons. ! - get too used to air con when we all go out to non air con places (like when we become daddy & gang's cheerleaders...we suffer lor) and 2 - don't want any more dry and irritated skin.
sleeping...dogs can sleep an average of 11 hours a day. my westie colby and dog-dog (lazy perhaps) can sleep upto 15 hours a day! so sleeping is actually ok. but you acn keep benji stimulated rather than sleep coz nothing to do by giving him some toys etc. we entertain teh furkids with simple toys such as mineral water bottle that they toss and toss....plush toys, tennis balls etc. a kong would be a good idea. hide the food in the kong and they'll self entertain to try to irritate the kong till teh treat falls out. of course when they are tired they will sleep. and when refreshed continue entertaining themselves with the toys.

mummy? dei... this is daddy talking
Anyway, i tried to stop feeding it but it keep on jumping on my lap with its sad look.
Can we give thread for fun without calling it to do any trick? The sitting stuff really work 50%. When its mood is bad... it won't obey....
I watch a movie called "Quill"... they say we shouldn't scold our puppy as it is not good for training and they provide the dog with a lot of toys.... should that be the case?

wahaha...blaack wor...haha bet you can't beat my 1st attempt in baking....hardened muffin that is even harder than stones..dropped also cannot break!
you can scold a puppy...but it all depends how. don't scold for past acts that you did not see him do. scold appropriately eg when he bites someone...scold him immediately.
treats can be given but watch your limit coz too much is extra calories...too much also encourages picky eaters ie they only want to eat treats rager than their proper kibbles or barf or home cooked food.
hmmm why black color? steam first till cooked...then bake 160-180C for 10-20 minutes depending on oven..not 2 hours! try again. where are you from?

Well, the oni way to fully let ur shih tzu 2 sit is pushing the rump gently but firmly or when ur dog reaches 4 the snack u put in ur hand, push it's rump down...
