Search for Shalom's new stroller


We bought a stroller for Shalom as we live in an apartment. Well Shalom is "illegal" as far as the local municipal folks are concerned. So whenever we bring her out, we'll use a stroller for the diva.

Of course the stroller comes out real useful since she weighs almost 8kg (I think its the fur:P). Rather than break our arms carrying her, its convenient to push her around. Here's a happy Shalom in her stroller and her happy daddy who conveniently put his newspapers on her stroller. And I normally hang her backpack filled with her drinking bottle, toy, plastic bags, hankies & treats on the stroller too:PShalom has been performing stunts on her stroller whenever we use any other cars than the Spyder. In a way it's our fault because we shd fold the carrier box the same way we do it when we're using the Spyder (a cabriolet with very minimal space to keep the car under 1tonne). So in her joy and excitement, Shalom will jump onto the top of her carrier box and has thus broken the farme a few times. Needless to say she has also bulldozed her way into and out of the carrier box before its being unzipped. All rescue works by her daddy has surpassed its lifespan. So now we have to look for a new one that fits into the MRS.
Dimensions of the carrier box are:
Height 16"
Width 13"
Depth 18"
Again its really important that this foldable. This one has zips all over and can unzip to almost 2" thick so it fits snugly behind my seat.

Dimensions of the wheeler is:
49" and must be collapsible as shown in the photos.

Safety features such as the brakes are great especially when we're on teh escalator or when we park her stroller with her inside while we run our errants etc.
So the question is where to get a replacement that fits our requirements? Can find this model or similar ones anymore. Any others can't fit into the Spyder:-(

Shalom's day out

Every weekend, no matter how busy we are, we will not fail to bring kiddo out. Most days we will definitely bring her to parks where she gets to share gossips with different pals of hers. Not sure if they know each other but let's just assume that they are all friends. Life will be more peaceful this way. LOL

From these outings, I sort of gathered that the kids relay messages or gossips by marking with their pee. It seems like one sniff is a download of information of each other's life:P And comments are when one marks over someone else's pee mark. Hehehe.











I supposed when they sniff each other's butts or face, it also another form of communication.












Armed with our poo bags for our diva is quite a poo machine during her sessions out to the parks or jungle trekking, and yes we generally keep her on leash. Well its just adherence to rules although she has proven herself to be very good off leash. However we do not want to encourage owners whose kids are not good at recalls or off leash commands, so we have Shalom on the leash. Cleaning up after her is also a must. Can you imagine how it is to step on poo? Eeeewww. But yes, despite clear signs, some owners just choose to ignore the clean up signs or leash signs. Sigh. It is not easy to find dog friendly parks in Malaysia, and I can't comprehend why some folks could not are less. Are they waiting for the park to be taken from us all? For now, it seems like only Desa Park City Waterfront is truly doggie friendly except for the eateries.










Complaints aside - can't be "sighy". Shalom gets her chance to be off leash where possible. That is for her to have her runs. This diva with all her fur is quite a sight when she runs. Yes she runs like the wind and her fur flaps. Something like a flying mop. And when airborne you can catch her expression - almost a gremlin. Very delightful.



















Of course once she has finished her runs, the pink tongue is all out with her contented smily face - most times, she will seek for a chair or stool. Anything but the ground. Such diva isn't she?












And on days when she absolutely is super diva after the walk, Daddy comes armed with a stroller for the diva to ride in.

















All these trips, I normally stock up on plenty of water, treats (in case she gets hungry but again no reason for her nor her pals to say no to treats:P) and ice cool yogurt. Honestly, the icy yogurt is for us, but she loves it. And being generally a safe food, we allow her these lovely ice cold yogurt. Shalom absolutely adores them. Check out that face:-)





























One other reason why we simply love the weekend outings as much as Shalom, these parks or jungle trek sessions (will post pictures from trekking session soon) is so peaceful and delightful for both Shalom and us alike. Its therapeutic - the fresh air, some sun, grass - nature does wonders to the soul!)
