Stalker Mummy..

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.

Ten little facts about Sammy.. Number Three!

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 …

Ten little facts about Sammy.. Number Two!

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.

Ten little facts about Sammy.. Number One!

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!

Ten little facts about Sammy..

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

Home alone..

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 …

Like Father Like son, Like Mother Like Sammy!

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 …

Conversation between Mummy and Daddy..

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.

My allowance Scheme..

Mummy was just chatting with a fellow dog parent at the dog parent when the lady gave her a brilliant idea (that is great for daddy and mummy, but horrid for poor little me). The lady mentioned that she has a weekly budget of USD20 for her dog. So, the activities that she does and the food/treats for her dog that she buys are limited to the budget. Mummy was really fascinated and took to the idea immediately. (Noooooo~) As a result, poor little me has only USD50 weekly. That includes all expenses such as cab fare due to activities related to me, day care charges, things I damage (recall: Uncle Kyle’s bath mat), food and treats! Sigh, that sucks. But since they are my source of food, I guess I really have no say in this. *Fading woof~* Anyway, I’ve been an awesome boy for the past week and didn’t spent any money from my allowance last week. (I’m saving up for a shopping spree at Petco!) The money went straight into Sammy’s trust …

Road Trip to Pennsylvania

Mummy and Daddy decided to bring me for a road trip to Philadelphia and State College over the weekend. (Okay, more like Mummy and I chose to tag along with Daddy for his worktrip!) Not exactly the most exciting of places, but I guess it wasn’t too bad. Especially since there were plenty of grass patches for me to roam/pee/poop (oops) on. The UPenn campus is actually really pretty and has a nice colonial look to it. (Mummy kept saying that it reminds her of hogwarts.) My favourite part of the campus – the tons of fat nice squirrels that caught my eye. No thanks to stupid mummy who kept pulling me back, I’m pretty sure I would have caught at least a couple! DANG it! One of the highlights of the trip was the hotel. Thanks to well-travelled Daddy’s starwoods privileges, we were upgraded into a suite at the Sheraton hotel and there were plenty of space for me to roam around! The king size bed was awesome and finally, I don’t have to fight …
