Pecan’s first Dog Event – National Geographic Channel Free Pet Shop

Published by

After seeing Pecan ah ma’s success during our recent JRT hike, our parents decided to take yet another leap of faith.  They… *drum rolls*…brought ah ma to her very first dog event – The National Geographic Channel Free Pet Shop – that took place over the weekend at Big Splash! And yap, ah ma did amazing once again! She did not snap at a single dog and even proceeded to greet many of them!  Of course, our parents were still on high alert and made an effort to distract her when her posture got too tense and her tail started wagging a tad bit hard. She responded every single time!  Kudos old lady! Ah ma was in such high spirits that she couldn’t stop grinning throughout the event.   And I’m sure she was equally pleased to be enjoying a nice day out with many other canines! There weren’t as many commercial booths as Mummy would like and so we spent most of our time wandering around and meeting fellow doggie instagrammers! (Hi Donna! Hi …

Playing dead…

Published by

I have a tendency to play dead when I play with other dogs.  It’s not that I am submissive.  I just get a kick tricking other dogs… Normally after I refuse to move for a while, dogs will get confused and move away. Pecan always gets so worried that she will walk towards Mummy with an ultra guilty look. #stupidahma #Iwheregotsoeasykillone Only after Mummy’s (repeated) explanation that I am not dead, will she come back beside me. The best part is… this is how we’ve been playing for the past few months and she STILL doesn’t get it! #Iamnotdeadjustlazy #facepalm #ahmaissenile  Anyway, if you do play with me in future, this is pretty much what to expect!

The JRTS go hiking!

Published by

Mummy took an insane leap of faith and gamble and brought Pecan ah ma along for her very first Jack Russell Mania outing to the Green Corridor. Yap, you didn’t hear me wrong.  We actually brought the crazy smelly old lady to an outing with many other dogs. Not just other dogs, but fellow Jack Russells! It’s like crazy meet crazy. Of course, there were initial doubts if it was too much for her to handle.  But after some consideration, our parents decided to take the plunge and went right for it. Well, there was always Plan B if it didn’t work out – go back home.  (Shhh, lazy Daddy was secretly rooting for that lor) #mydaddysucks And guess what, Ah ma did beautifully.  In fact, she was perfect. She walked and walked and walked, alongside many others.  I swear I saw tears in Mummy’s eyes.  #yayayayaIexaggeratela But nonetheless, Mummy was damn proud of Pecan. So am I.  Getting ready for the hike! We kept our distance in the beginning to ensure that ah ma …

Candid camera…

Being such photogenic dogs, it’s only expected that awesome cute and adorable photos of us flood the blog. Like everyone, there are glam shots.. and then there are these… Yap, ah ma is bo-ge (missing some teeth).  That explains why her tongue will fall out like that. #ahmatryingtotakeaselfie #ahmalookspossessed #unglamTTM Nope, I wasn’t spared either.  The one time I slept with my mouth (and eye) opened. #cannotevensleepinpeace #whysounglam #spoilimage Le sigh.  We hate Mummy.

Guess the paw…

Published by

We know that one reason why Mummy and Daddy decided to adopt Pecan ah ma was because she is a striking resemblance to me. WAHAHHAHAHA #myparentsaresecretlyobsessedwithme That being said, it’s still as easy as ABC to tell us apart.  I mean, I am of course the more handsome fat and cute on of the two.  OKAY~ #Iamnotfat #Iamjustbigboned That being said, if you isolate one part of us and try it tell us apart, it may not be as easy as you think. Don’t believe me? Hee…. Let’s play a game of… “GUESS THE PAW”!! Hehe, take a look at the two paws and make a guess which one belongs to me…. Is it this… or…  this??? Ha ha ha.. Challenging huh? Are you ready for the answer? Drum rolls……….. ….. ….. ….. If you guessed A… It belongs to… ta-dah~ this dead dog! #unglamsam Yap… it’s Sam i am! And that’s my adorable paw! So obviously, Pecan ah ma…is B! PS: Can you spot the other dead dog in the corner? #camouflagesam #theunglamahma Yap, it’s …

It’s Pecan’s birthday!

Published by

Yap, the crazy old woman Empress Dowager turned ELEVEN! In other words, she is technically 60 years old! You know what? Ah ma is actually eligible for the Senior Citizen Concession Card liao! #sheisasoldasgrandmummy It’s unbelievable how old she is.  I mean…. she’s almost THRICE my age and she’s like a energizer bunny! #howcanshebesoold #oldahmastillwannaactyoung Since it was her birthday, of course Mummy had awesome surprises in store for her! Mummy was actually debating whether to throw ah ma a party and invite our doggy friends over. But wait…what doggy friends? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tons of furry buds.  #cannothelpthatIampopular But Ah ma? ERm…. let’s just say she isn’t really a dog-dog.  So to avoid a scenario where we spent $$$ and there’s only me and ah ma (and maybe Snowy) dancing around in an empty cafe, Mummy quickly decided that we should just celebrate this special day ourselves!  And who says we can’t have fun on our own? Here’s how the special day unfolds.. For a start, what’s a birthday party without a …

Sam’s Pick: Sunny Heights (Animal World) Swimming Pool!

Published by

Swimming is a weekly affair at the Loo Lim Household.  Every saturday, we would pack our swimming gears (including Monkey and Monster!) and head out to our usual pool. Sounds routine huh… Maybe not… Because… our favorite pool just undergone an extreme makeover. From what was formerly known as K9 Kulture to THIS fabulous pool under Sunny Heights (Animal World)! Awesomeness to the max! Gone are the rough surfaces, slippery slopes, protruding nails and dirty water. And say hello to new (and gorgeous) tiles, easy steps, cool (but a little scary) water features and comfy seats for our parents to chill! How not to like~ In fact, we absolutely love it! Pecan ah ma giving it her grin of approval. Mummy was actually a little concerned that we might take some time to get used to, especially since they removed the slope and put steps in instead. (It’s safer this way!) Thankfully, not only was I not deterred by the steps, I wasted no time and got right into my monkey rescue missions instantly. Yes, …

Sam’s Pick – Feed My Paws Mooncakes

Published by

Time flies and the Mid-Autumn Festival is back again! Wheeeeeee….. And the most important thing for this festival is of course… MOONCAKES! Knowing how much I enjoyed my mooncakes last year, Mummy decided to get me some again! Plus, we wanted Pecan ah ma to try it too. We were rather spoilt for choices as there were multiple online dog bakeries that were selling them!  But to give support and thank Auntie Crsytle for feeding our tiny tummies with tons of treats (check out our review here to find out what we stuffed ourselves silly with), we went with… *drum rolls* FEED MY PAWS MOONCAKES!! With so many yummy favorites to choose from, Mummy decided to go ahead and order the pack of SIX. It includes a mixture of savory [Beefy Cheese & Porky Cheese] and snowskin moon cakes [Durian Diva, Berry Bumbum & Pinky-Taro]. Don’t they just look so good? PS: Can you spot Pecan ah ma’s drool stains on the couch! #howcomeoldwomandroolomuchone #sounglam  Doing the sniff test to make sure they smell as …

The toy bucket challenge!

Published by

So, we were challenged by The Vanilla Pup, Latte and her owner on Instagram to do the #ToyBucketChallenge.We had to either pour a bucket of stuffies over our heads OR donate $10 to an Animal Welfare Group of our choice. Since it was for a good cause, we immediately said YES! to it.  #challengeaccepted #bringiton Besides, nothing beats being showered with toys. Like literally. Mummy was all geared up and started walking around the house with a bucket to pick up the dead toys that were scattered around the room. To ensure that she did not sabo (cheat) us by putting a rock or two in it, she allowed us to inspect the toys prior to the challenge. #allclear The reason why Pecan ah ma looked blur in the image was that she actually attempted to steal a toy or two away! #itistoybucketchallengenotstealatoychallenge Tsk Tsk tsk… old people huh.. Once we gave her the green light, we got into position…. (Okay, we did switch position after a while… I didn’t want to stand near Daddy …
