Made with Love – Dehydrated treats!!
The weekends came and left… but we ain’t complaining…because, Mummy spent it making yummy dehydrated treats for the two of us! (Hehe, and there are plenty of leftovers for the whole week!) Anyway, we were extremely excited when Mummy told us what she had installed for us! To begin with, she started by swinging by the supermarket to buy some fresh meat, which includes chicken gizzards, lean pork, sliced chicken fillet, pork and chicken liver! She took some time out to slice them evenly. The lean pork and liver sliced easily! But Mummy had a little trouble slicing up the chicken fillet the previous time, so she decided to get pre-sliced ones instead. They are a little thicker, thus require a longer time to dehydrate. Anyway, a tip from my mother-in-law, Auntie Charmaine: freezing the meat slightly will make it easier and firmer to slice! Once the prep work was done, Mummy simply put the trays in position and got the dehydrator working! Mummy got the Open Country Pet treat maker from Amazon when we …
JRM’s 12th Anniversary Party!
Mummy and Daddy brought me to Jack Russell Mania‘s 12th Anniversary Party over the weekend! Unfortunately, we had to leave the grumpy old lady, Pecan. But oh well, I promised her that I’ve twice the fun just for her. Hehehehe… The event was held at Toa Payoh South Community Club. It was quite a contrast from last year which was at West Coast Park. Though I very much prefer to run on grass, our parents were quite glad that at least I would go home mud and more importably, tick free. Oh well…. Thankfully there was plenty of space and once my parents let me off-leash… zoooooommmm… #youcannotcatchme I was having so much fun running around that my little ears agreed too! Sam the Jack Russell Curl! The thoughtful organizers even set aside a paddling pool for the pooches to cool off! Too bad for me, my parents only allowed me to have a quick soak before they chased me away. Wonder why? Hehehe, I have a history of peeing in waddle pools since my NYC …
From Snowy with love….
Mummy came back with a handful of yummy home-made Parmesan and Mozzarella Whole Wheat Biscuits!! They looked amazing and smelled heavenly!! And we just couldn’t wait to get started on them! Just as we were waiting to get our share, Mummy started explaining where these treats came from. Apparently, my bestie’s, Jager, Mummy baked them just for us. Awwwwwwwwwww… so sweet can? That’s not all. Actually, these were baked by her on behalf of Snowy (Jager’s brother)… because… he wants to profess his love for Pecan ah ma. #snowyhasbadtaste #cannotbelievethatahmagotdogslike FYI: This is Snowy, the Japanese White Goldie with bad taste in female dogs. This love declaration came out of the blue and we certainly weren’t expecting it at all. After all, ah ma really isn’t fond of any other dogs. In fact, the last time they met, Snowy was following ah ma around the house. And all the grumpy old woman did was to keep walking away while growling at him. How lovable. So how is it even possible that he likes her?!? Maybe …
Ikea for dogs!
Mummy loves heading to Ikea for some therapeutic window shopping. Daddy’s pretty okay with that. Except that Mummy’s definition of “window shopping” is a tad different from others. Yap, she NEVER leaves empty handed. #mummyisashopaholic But of course, being an obsessive dog parent, more often than not, she would end up buying something for us! That’s the reason why you would find her in the kid’s section everything she visits Ikea. Hehehe, in fact, she added some awesome kids toys to my stash during her last visit! Since Pecan ah ma has been leaving her toys around the house and our original toy box is overflowing, Mummy decided to check out some storage solutions for us. And that’s when these fun baskets caught her attention. (Source: Ikea) And guess what, I think the vibrant colors suit us too! Plus, they finally allow us to stow away ah ma’s many toys. Basket ONE is for her annoying squeaky toys; Basket TWO is for balls (most of these are mine. hehehe); Basket THREE is for Pecan’s stinky …
Our PET Tags
Mummy got her hands on new pet tags for us! “Put it on for me please, MUMMY!” Me and Pecan looking great in our new collars and tags. In case you’re wondering what’s so good about the tags and why we have the same exact tag…. there is something really interesting and special about these two tags… They are actually Smart Phone Enabled Pet (PET) Tag! These PET tags are made with a microchip inside each of them. The amazing thing is that it is the only digital tag in the world that can be scanned using an Android based mobile phone, using the NFC function! So if either me or Pecan ah ma got lost in the streets and you see us, all you have to do is lure us over with a treat (Aiya, very easy one..we are both greedy pigs), switch on the NFC and put the tag beside the phone. A preset customized text linked to a phone number will be reflected on the message function of your phone instantly. Once …
Want a treat? Raise your ear!
It’s our favorite time of the day… It’s time for a yummy yum yum treat!!! And how do you know when I’m excited? My little ears will stand, stand, STAND! #Samthefakefoxterrier Actually, I’m not the only one… Pecan will raise her little ears too! Though I’ve to say that ah ma looks weird.. #ahmathefakebunny Raise your ear if you want a treat! ME ME ME! Somehow, my left ear seems to be stronger and would remain standing no matter how many times I move around. Ah ma’s ears will just flip up and down. Looks easy to raise your ear for your treat? The truth is..it took a lot of work! We had to keep jumping up and down for our treats to get our little ears standing! PHEW~ hard work it was. But dang, was it worth it when we finally got the yummy treats in our mouths!
Sam’s Day Out – Happenstance Cafe
It’s been a while since we had a Sam’s day out! For a change, my parents decided to leave Pecan ah ma at home and spend a long nice day with me. Yap, just me! Hooooray~ Of course we had to take the opportunity to visit a new Sam-welcomed venue, the Happenstance cafe! This time round, we also asked a special guest and his family to join us for our brunch quest! (You’ll find out who shortly!) We arrived seconds before opening hours, so we had to hang around the fence for a while. And when the doors opened, I couldn’t wait to explore the cafe! Located along Opal Crescent, it’s hard to believe from the outside that this is actually a pet-friendly cafe. For a change, rather than the typical washed-out/Ikea-ish decor that many pet cafes have, Happenstance has a clean industrial vibe that is up Mummy’s alley. (She couldn’t stop staring at the brick wall -_-) It could easy pass off one of the up-and-coming cafe that the hipster crowd would love. A …
Twelve Nights…
is how long a dog in a Taiwanese shelter has to find a home before he gets put down. It’s also the title of a documentary directed by Raye and produced by Giddens Ko (九把刀) and Sophia Sui (隋棠). Twelve Nights (十二夜) follows the fates of dogs from the day they are captured and placed in a shelter to the 12th day. While a handful will go on to find a forever home, more often than not, these dogs succumbed to either illnesses that are widespread in the shelter or to the deadline that man has placed upon them. Mummy knew that the film wasn’t going to be an easy watch (she is a crybaby whenever it comes to animal-related stuff), but wanted to catch it anyway. So, she bought a copy and had it mailed over to us. When it finally arrived, Mummy explained the storyline of the movie to us. She was a little undecided if she wanted us to watch it with her as there was a chance that we might be uncomfortable with …
Tiny apples
Auntie Lynne is a super darling! Because…. she bought us two smallie apples!!!! It was the first time we ever saw apples that were this small! Mummy was really amused while we were just a little unsure. I mean the apples are so tiny that we didn’t even think it was real! On the contrary, we actually mistook our apple stuffie for being the real thing. #stupidJRTs Since I’ve always been Auntie Lynne’s favorite dog, I thought I could get my way and claim ownership of both the apples. HEHEHE. Of course, my ‘fantasy’ did not last long. At all. Within seconds, Pecan has creeped beside me and successfully took one from me. BOOOOOOO~ #mylifesucks Oh well, at least I still have one all to myself. We were really fascinated by the smallie apples! They are so small that they were almost the same size as Pecan’s paws! I swear that I could also gobble down the whole thing in just one bite! I wasn’t convinced that it was the real thing at all and …
