Here’s a quick summary of what happened when I went MIA! 1) I spent my last white X’mas @ Vermont with my parents! I love snow! 2) Welcome-d 2012 with a bunch of drunks (including the crazy lady in the picture..-_-). 3) Most importantly, I turned TWO! (That’s 14 in human years! Next year this time, I would be legal.. can’t wait!) Doesn’t sound too exciting unfortunately. BUT.. mummy has promised that we are gonna be taking more road trips in 2012 and I seriously can’t wait! =D
Don’t worry… I’m still here!
My mum is a stalker. As some of you might know, my parents abandoned me and went ahead with their belated honeymoon. But of course, my obsessed mummy just couldn’t leave me behind without worrying. Thus, after some research, she found me a new daycare in the city, called Puppy Loft, that allow crazy dog parents, like my mum, an option to watch their dogs via a webcam. And that’s exactly what mummy did! Each evening after dinner, she rushed back to the hotel and hogged poor daddy’s laptop for a couple of hours to watch me. Dang, no thanks to her, I was unable to hitch up with the pretty little dog that I had been eyeing at for the past few days. Not when there was a pair of eyes following all my actions. -_- Oh well… that’s life, with a stalker mum.
I am a picky eater. A VERY picky eater. I am served 4 different types of food for my dinner everyday. I adore wet food. However, Mummy’s philosophy is that dried food is healthier for both my little teeth and stomach. As a result, she is pretty insistent on giving me dried food, which of course, I would refuse to eat. Stubborn mummy and Sam then embarked on a “I do not want to eat” vs “You better eat this shit” battle, which resulted in many days where I would simply refuse to eat and mummy had to ‘beg’ me to eat or eventually handfeed me. (Yap, I’m a spoilt brat..we all know it) Sigh, eventually, Mummy won. After ALOT of trial and error, Mummy finally found the combination of food that I totally adore and she is swearing by it! The only downside, it consists of 4 different brands and types of food that comes together to create a gourmet experience for me! Here’s the secret recipe: 1. Just a little under a quarter …
People think that I’m photogenic as I always smile for the camera. The truth is, I’m not actually smiling. I’m panting. As my tongue is just a tad bit short, I don’t end up hanging it out when I pant. Thus, for mummy to take such good shots of me, she had to make me run (e.g. fetch) for about 10 minutes, before my ‘smile’ will appear. So, here’s my panting face, smile. Not easy being a dog huh.
I have 2 other siblings in my same litter. By the time, mummy got about adopting me, both my siblings had already gone to their new homes. Apparently, I was left behind as one family wanted a fuzzy dog, so they took one of my brothers and the other family chose my other brother as he was fatter and cuter. (Hmph~ Whatever) I was pretty much the unwanted child until Mummy saw my picture on the breeder’s website. And thus, here I am. Unfortunately, Mummy doesn’t know where my siblings went. Nonetheless, I think life isn’t too bad for me. I have pretty much grown from the unwanted child, to the spoilt only child in the Lim Family. I’ve to say, I’m loving it!
I’m a pretty interesting dog. While Mummy and Daddy always introduce me to strangers as a crazy pesty dog, I beg to differ. I am a really great dog, in my own opinion, relatively well-behaved, very well-socialized, too cute for my own good, blah blah blah. Anyway, unless you really do have the opportunity to interact with me, it’s hard for you to know the real me. So, to help you get to know me a little better, I will be sharing 10 little facts about me over the course of 10 days. Hopefully, you will get to know the real sam and grow to love me even more. =D
Mummy left me home alone today. Unlike the usual times, she decided to take a big leap of trust and chose to leave me home alone outside my crate. Well, mummy had always wanted to do this as she felt really bad when I was crated for a long period of time. I would usually just lick my paws when I’m bored, so mummy and daddy would come back to a dog with really wet paws. Daddy, being the paranoid parent he is, wanted to try it only when he was sure that the whole house was dog-proofed (e.g. no treats that I could reach, no wires that I could destroy, blah blah blah). Luckily, Mummy has more faith in me than Daddy did and decided to give it a try while Daddy’s out of town! Thankfully, Mummy was pretty thoughtful. She removed the door of my crate, placed it at a comfortable location (so that I would at least have a safe haven to go to), removed Daddy’s PS3 controllers (Just in case…), covered …
I think I take after my parents… Like father like son, I’m like daddy in terms of – Intelligence (High IQ) -> After all, I do have my own blog and facebook – athletic (I’m a fast dog) – lousy stomach -> Tends to get diarrhea wayy too often. (*Nods* Yap, Daddy too. ) – can sleep anywhere, anyhow and anytime…I could even doze off sitting upright. Interestingly, I take after mummy too! – Sociable (High EQ) Here’s a little peek of some of my friends.. (and yes, they are mostly girls. *Wink*) Kiba, the Shiba Inu Lucy, the poodle Zoe, the lab mix Dexter, the beagle, Jack Russell, Hound mix and my proud brother! Ella, the Border collie mix – Enjoys sleeping till noon –> this I definitely get from mummy – Drinks alot of water, likes pee-ing in the middle of the night (Sorry mummy, I didn’t mean to spill your beans) Mummy and daddy always have a running joke about how their kids would have daddy’s …
Mummy and Daddy brought me for a quick walk and I was busy sniffing around. Mummy: “Why does Sam has to sniff every single thing that he walks past? It’s like he has a daily quota to meet. ‘I’ve to sniff 5 minutes a day.’”Daddy: “Maybe it’s because he’s trying to gain XP by sniffing. He wants to level up on his World of Dogcraft.” … That’s what you get when you have a nerd as a dad.
