Ageing ah ma

Published by

As much as we would like to maintain that Pecan is forever young, we have to acknowledge that ah ma is indeed, ageing. #dengdengdengdeng #yalafinallyadmitsheisOLD Maybe not her craziness spirit, but her body. We started noticing that Pecan was shaking and trembling randomly at times over the last couple of days and that got Mummy worried. So off to the vet she went. And we came back with a diagnosis that Pecan ah ma is… Arthritic. #seelatoldyousheisoldliao #sosadhor #nowIamabitworried While this (relatively) genki ah ma is probably not quite close to going six-feet-under (fingers crossed!), her body is struggling to keep up. #ahmacannotbelieveiteither There isn’t much we can do right now except to manage her condition. On a good note, her pain episodes were not extremely frequent and her mobility isn’t too affected as of now. Oh, oh and, she is a walking weather forecast! #shewillshakebeforeitrains #butnotveryaccuratela #todaynevershakelor #thinkonthebrightsidema Besides pumping up her glucosamine intake and scheduling regular swims (which we’re already doing so), Mummy decided to opt for another alternative management treatment – Acupuncture.  #yamanthereisacupuncturefordogslor …

Our modelling gig

We’re adding the title of blogshop models under our belts. #seenowweareatrueblueblogger #wearemodelstoolikethoseprettybloggersleh Hehehe.. Well, technically, ohpopdog isn’t a blogshop. It’s an etsy shop. #samesamelaWhen the kind people from ohpopdog asked if they could use us as models for their latest collection, Mummy said YES!We have been fans of their products for a while and we really love all the gorgeous pics that they post on their instagram account.And boy oh boy, after we saw the end products for the shoot, we’re over the moon with how everything turned out.Photo Credits: ohpopdog Matchy-matchy with Pecan.#nowwelooklikeacouple #ohman Damn, I am such a natural.  Ah ma needs to be more sensitive to the camera though. #whyisahmastaringintospace #roomforimprovement Okay, I admit, Pecan does look kinda adorbs in the outfit. #shelookslikeaschoolgirl #noIamNOTfallinginlovewithher Just a chirpy little boy! #sohappysocute Seriously, the photographer deserves a huge thumbs up for making me look so stud. #alotofpeoplewhosawmerecentlysayifat #thedifferencethecameraanglemakes Mummy is super impressed by how nice the photos turned out. After all, there wasn’t any overly flashy equipments.  All done with a simple DSLR. Photo …

Sam’s Pick: Fiverr

Published by

Yap, in case you’re wondering, Mummy’s shopping spree hasn’t quite ended. #poordaddy But on a good note, it is getting less costly. #andsowethinkla This is our ‘feel sorry’ for Daddy’s face. #nolorthisisourboreduntilcollectcowebsface Mummy was introduced to Fiverr by a friend who’s owns a startup and was looking for affordable design options. It’s actually a website that offers services and tasks with a starting price of just USD5! And boy oh boy, Mummy was hooked instantly.  Mummy’s addiction to illustrations isn’t something new. #aiyasheisaddictedtoallthingsdogrelatedla But honestly, most illustrations do not come cheap.  It’s no wonder Mummy was over the moon when she saw what Fiverr had to offer. #shehappydaddynohappy Mummy’s latest purchase: Kawaii Sam and Pecan! For Christmas she said (AGAIN). #shewillneedanewtaglinesoon  I think Pecan ah ma looks better kawaii than me. #howcomepecancuterthanme #nofairleh -_- Time taken: 10 days Amount paid: USD31.50 for two Rush order available. Order here We did say latest purchase.  And yap, that certainly wasn’t the first. Instead, this was Mummy’s first ever purchase on Fiverr. She googled pet illustration and gave the …

Our pick for Stalker Mummy – the Petzi

Published by

We already warned you that Mummy is on a shopping spree this month. For Christmas she said. (Remember?) So after pampering herself with the Torus bowl, she coerced Daddy into getting her a Petzi Treat Cam. To check on us while she is at work she said. #morelikesatisfyherstalkingtendencies #poordaddyburnanotherholeinhispocket And without even waiting for Christmas, impatient Mummy got around to unwrapping her ‘present’. Tsk tsk tsk. Besides the Petzi camera, an extra simple instruction sheet (a bit too simple to be honest) and two packets of Milk-Bone treats for starters are also included! #sonicegiveustreats #welikeitalready Pecan ah ma thinks that she’s cuter than the Beagle. #nocomments The design of the Petzi is extremely simple and great for tech idiots like Mummy. All you have to do is remove the cover and pour treats into the hole. #pourMOREleh  The plug is an US two-headed plug, so an adapter is required.  Simply plug it in and follow the instructions for setup. The process is supposedly pretty painless. But for some weird reason, Mummy couldn’t get the Petzi …

Sam’s Pick for X’mas : Torus Bowl

Published by

X’mas is just around the corner and it’s the season to pamper yourself! So, of course our shopaholic Mummy (she’s only addicted to dog-related items though) decided to spoil us (actually, it’s herself) with presents!  Yap, this is just the first of many.  #theburntholeinpocketbelongstodaddy #don’tthinkheknowsyet #let’shopedaddydoesn’tseethis  Anyway, new products always catches Mummy’s eyes. Hence, when Wooga shared that they are bringing a new drinking bowl, Mummy just had to get her hands on it.  Well, for Christmas she said. #anythingalsochristmasla #whycantChristmasbeamonthlyaffair Introducing the Torus. #mustdressupfortheocassion #ilooksowhiteandcleancosstupidmummydontknowhowtousehercamerasetting #whitewashedsam For once, we can officially say that it is not just another drinking bowl. #butwearestilladdingabowltoourcollectionof12311bowls #okayIexaggerated #wehaveabout20bowls The Torus comes with a drinking fountain, a water storage area and a valve with three settings (lock, for pouring water in and for dispensing water). All you have to do is to fill water directly into the storage area, turn the valve to the dispensing option and viola~ It also comes with a replaceable filter containing activated carbon to help reduce flavours and trace elements. Because of it’s unique design, …

Our X’mas countdown

Published by

December is possibly one of our favourite months of the year. (We love Jan, August, Sep too!) Because… Christmas is around the corner! Woohoo~ #wewelcomeallsortsofchristmaspresent #pleasesendthemourway Awesome mummy decided to kickstart celebrations a tad early by getting us Advent Calendars from Barking Good! #dontaskmewhatanadventcalendaris #thisismyfirsttimehearingaboutit #butgotfoodwhocares Thank you Auntie Dionne for delivering them to our doorsteps. #wepaidherwithtailwags Most of our stuff are in storage, hence, the pathetic setup.  #lifesuckslivingoutofsuitcases Anyway, we did what most people would do and googled the term “advent calendar”. Turns out that it’s a special calendar to count the days in anticipation to X’mas! And an awesome one is one that houses little gifts to be opened up each day! #theyshouldhaveafestivalattheendofeverymonthlor #whatanawesomecreation Gosh, why did we not learn about this awesome sh*t earlier??? We opened up the package and did a sniff test.  As well as a thorough count to make that Auntie Dionne didn’t shortchange us. Slight problem.. what comes after ten? #wecannotcountforourlives So I decided to hold Santa hostage and get Mummy to do the counting for us. #countorIwilleatsanta …

Our moving chronicles

Published by

Yap, we fell off the radar once again.  #packingwoes For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been uber busy with our move.  Now that the movers have came and left with our precious belongings, we finally have some time on our paws to do a post!  #mustgiveexcuseswhenwearelazy #actuallythelazyoneismummy Even though our parents have done three moves in the past five years (including two international ones), moving is still a rather painful process.  But luckily for us, our toys have a pretty good sense of humour and had fun messing around while Mummy was pulling her hair out over the packing. For starters, putting on our best disguise, we sneaked in a BBQ party that Pecan ah ma’s toys were having! #thatisalamboutfit #nowedonothaveapileofshitonourheads Yap, that’s how many squeaky toys Pecan ah ma owns. She has an unhealthy obsession with squeaky toys and Mummy being Mummy, ended up buying one too many toys. #yapwearespoiltrotten #cannotisit Unfortunately for us, they discovered our identifies and threw us out of the party. Pecan, your toys suck! #samnohappy #pecandoesnotcareasusual After sulking …

We’re moving!

Published by

Like for real. Not the blog hor. #wemovingfromululandtocivilisation So, in less than a month, I will no longer be Sam, the HDB dog and Pecan will no longer be ‘illegal’. Hehehe #shenotillegalla #shebelongstograndmummy #likeanyonewillbelieve While the move is extremely exciting, the packing is…. blah~ And if you see the way our Mummy packs, I think you will vomit blood. #mummyisaclosethoarder I guess that’s why our parents have decided to hire a professional moving company that provides packing and unpacking services.  #ifnotIthinktheywillneverbedone #lazytothemax  Unlike our parents, we’re responsible kiddos. Like good doggies, we spent our whole weekend packing! Ah ma being a girl obviously has more things and a wayyyy bigger suitcase. #mysuitcaseonlyhastreats #pecanfinallykeptallhersqueakytoys See.. Moving is so easy breezy… And so you think… If you seriously believed that’s all we have, you obviously haven’t been reading our blog enough. Because… just beds alone… this is what we really have.. #lookslikethishouseholdgot10dogslor Ah ma and the pea. LOL The irony of all this…  is that, while we have all these cushiony comforts, our favourite sleeping spot (in the …

Our little thoughts

Published by

Mummy has been so busy with work and falling sick that we’re starting to feel a tad neglected. Oh well, so me and Pecan decided to let our thoughts be heard with the help of a little illustration.. And guess what.. Great minds think alike! We were wishing for the same thing! Cannot stop smacking my lips just thinking about it. #onlygotoneillustrationsonochoicewehavetothinkthesamethink #butithinkilookcuterhor #cannotlosetoahma Hopefully, now that Mummy has more time on her hands, let’s hope that she keeps to her promise and update our blog more! #thelackofpostistotallyherfault

How we spent our saturday…

Published by

While lazy bums were still lazing in bed, these two early worms (one fat, one smelly) had already gotten a ton of exercise under their waistlines belts. #yapourlazymummyactuallymanagedtodragherbuttoutofbed #itwasamiracle Yap, this was how we spent our weekend – running around our favourite dog park, playing fetch. Well, to be exact, one dog was working the fetch.  The other was just… blocking the way. #fetchlastillgottimesmileatcamera #cannotbelieveshecanbesocameraready But again, I am such a pro and ah ma has zilch chance la. It’s no wonder she isn’t usually interested in vying with me. #cannotwinsaysola #nochancelor #yayasam  Look at this cowboy go man. #sopowerright Concentration. Concentration. Of course, when there are good days, there will be bad days. #shithappens #alamak Hey, but I’m still darn good k. #arrogantbrat Don’t you just feel like slapping this yaya face? HEHEHEHEHEHE… Since Pecan has no chance in even getting near to the ball with me around, she decided to just fool around with the camera instead. #goofygranny #四连拍  We did come a long way from home to get here (our house too …
