Enjoying the sunshine with my friend, Sheba...

Sheba and me enjoying the sunshine...

They say that animals help you relax, de-stress, and feel happy. They're absolutely right!

More sunshine with my furry poochy friend!

I have been so much happier since I made friends with my professor's dog, Sheba (who, incidentally, has the same name as one of my dogs back home). Sheba's such a lovely, loving, and lovable pooch. She's a 7-month labradoodle, and she makes my stresses just melt away...

Good morning!

Sheba's very good about giving me a little kiss to say good morning (that and a multitude of scratches!). The office is so much more cheerful with her around...

Getting a brush at home...

Sheba is quite a celebrity too. The professor's students love her as much as I do!

Together with Joanna, we spoil the poochy...

There's something about dogs and smiles here. I am very happy to approach people whom I don't know to say hello to their dogs, and most owners are perfectly happy to talk to you about their dogs and share a pet and lick. And compared to Malaysian dogs, the ones here are sometimes super humungous! Which I like! I've met dogs that weight almost a whole me and another half...


Sheba's been away for almost a month-and-a-half at "doggie camp", and I've missed her tremendously. I can't wait till she returns to work! :-)
