Sam’s Pick: Animology
The kind people at Pet Lovers Centre dropped us an email to ask if we were keen to review their products. You know we’ll never say no. #cheapomummy #neversaynotofree #daddypockethappy This time, we tried our paws on one of PLC’s exclusive products – the Animology Shampoo. All the way from the UK, it is an multi award winning brand that is trusted by groomers and animal care professionals around the world! Mummy is a sucker for branding. So she was sold the instant she saw the packaging. #canbemoreshallowanot Besides that, there is a wide range of products for dogs of all sizes, skin and coat types. We were so spoilt for choice that Mummy took so long to decide which two products to test out. #indecisivewoman After like FOREVER, she decided to give the White Wash Shampoo a shot. It is specially concocted for white dogs and has been developed using a low foam formula that makes it quick and easy to rinse while reducing the chances of any irritation. It also comes with …
Cushion us!
We all know Mummy is kinda obsessed with us. #thatisanunderstatementlor And I’m sure if she can choose, she would keep us on the couch as decor. #wetoocutela #wemakethebesthomeaccents Plus, she wants to be able to hug us day and night… #omgnojustno But we all know it’s impossible. (Phew~) #shecanconsidertaxidermisinguswhenwepass #iamsuredaddywilldivorceherthen So she decided to settle for the next best thing. And it comes in a box…. Peek-a-boo… Ta~dah! Introducing the cushion version of us! Mummy first saw this illustrator on Dog-Milk and immediately wanted one, i mean two. She had always wanted a pillow version of us and did go as far as to print a silk-screen version of me. However, she realised that the end product is highly dependent on the quality of the photo. And since she is a sucky photographer, of course it didn’t turn out very well. Hence, these cushions from Kara Burke are a win-win. Firstly, she gets yet another illustration of us. #thereisnosuchthingastoomany Secondly, she gets to hug the cushion version of us! #hengah #noneedtocuddlewithherinthisshittyheat Well, since these cushions …
Doggie Workout with K9FITbone
A recent visit to the vet confirmed Mummy’s fears… Pecan ah ma’s body isn’t quite keeping up. #sheis12yearsoldnot12monthsoldma While it isn’t falling apart just yet, her joints are starting to display signs of stiffness. #abouttimela The vet advised Mummy to minimise Pecan’s climbing of stairs and unnecessary jumping. Plus, should she show any signs of tiredness or reluctance to walk when we’re out, we should allow her to rest. #idothatallthetimehowcomemummystillmakemewalk #lifenofair Other than that, we were also sent home with the first of many bottles of glucosamine. To be honest, Pecan is really an energetic ah ma and she is way more active than I am. #iamnotlazy #iamjustchill In addition, Mummy has done a couple of steps to keep her active and healthy. Maintain lean weight – Checked #hengispecannotme #elseminewilluncheckandiwillbeputonadiet #hengman Swimming – Checked. Despite that, Mummy is still a tad worried that her little body might not keep up with her in future. So, kiasu Mummy started doing some research on how else to strengthen her joints and muscles. And with the recommendation from …
A Fuzzy Sleepover
It’s been a while since we did something fun in our lives. To spice our boring lives up a little, Mummy decided to throw us a sleepover party! Hence, she asked us to invite our friends to join us. But hor, we don’t really have many friends. #nothankstopecan #myfriendsareinNYC #weemocosoursleepoverlookspossiblyboring Oh well, so we decided to make do and invited our three FuzzYard troublemaker friends! Say hi to Electra the Unicorn, Aussie Shoo and Sushi the Fish. Since it’s a party, it was a must to wear hats. #theunicornnohatcosthehorntoohigh We spent our whole evening chilling and chatting about our lives. (Screams: BORING) And that was when we started to hear grumbling sounds coming from our little tummies. Well, I mean a sleepover isn’t really a sleepover without some yummy snacks! Thankfully Mummy was thoughtful enough to prepare some desserts for us. Since Shoo was our guest, we gave him the first sniff. #youbetterdontpooptherelor #elselateryounoheaddontblameme He took a tad longer than we liked, so Pecan ah ma decided to protest. #didntknowhermouthsobigone Mummy allowed us to pick …
Pet-friendly: Everything with Fries
If you’re a long time reader cum fan of *ahem* yours truly, you would’ve noticed that since Pecan ah ma joined our family we have ceased our pet-friendly cafe outings. #thickskinsam #scarlygotnolongtimereaderstheninoface #donttellme It is because Pecan has a bit of a barrier frustration. Which means she has the tendency to react by barking and lunging when she is unable to interact with the object of interest (be it another dog or human). This happens especially when she is on leash. Hence, alfresco dining where dogs will be tied to the table (as opposed to a pet cafe where we will be off-leashed) ain’t exactly suitable for dogs like her. #sotroublesomecan We’ve been working on her barrier frustration and are really pleased with her progress. #shegotbetterbutigotworse #shemusthavespreadittome Despite that, Mummy is still rather hesitant to bring us to pet-friendly cafes… That was until they walked passed… Everything with Fries at Holland Village. Daddy is a sucker for fries and the dessert menu caught sweet-toothed Mummy’s eyes. Our parents just had to stop and give it a …
Quickie Art and Craft
Jack Russell Mania (JRM) is turning 13 this July. #cannotbelievegotthingsolderthantheancientpecan To get us ready for the exciting celebrations, Mummy ordered two JRM bandanas just for us. #ithinkiwearitbetterthanher #shhhhhdonttellherIsaidthat Okay okay, I think we both look pretty cool in it. However, once we take it off, we won’t able to differentiate which belong to who. #ifIwearwronghow #hersissmellyleh #cosshesuredroolonit So, we attempted to mark our own bandanas with our own saliva. #spotourlittletongues #howhygienichor Thankfully the crafty (pun intended) Mummy had something up her sleeves. It was a real quick fix. All she used were Martha Stewart stencils, satin paint, a sponge brush and a plastic container. And viola~ our very own customised bandanas. Not only does it look (and smell) good, it took Mummy less than five minutes. #quickieartandcraft Doing an arty farty shot with them. #showingoff #cannotissit Now people will know who we are when we attend the upcoming celebrations. We sure can’t wait! If you’re a JRT just like us, do join us for JRM’s 13th birthday! Click here for more information.
Pet IC for dogs
By a huge stroke of luck, I completed my second paying gig (hehehe..secret for now) yesterday! To celebrate my fat little paycheck (or so I think, Daddy let out a pffft when he saw it though), I decided to buy the freeloader Pecan ah ma a round of drinks. #gotmoneygotsay #daddycannotlookdownonmeanymore #samthebreadwinner And of course, nothing beats a nice cold beer with some dog-friendly green lipped mussels from K9 Natural in this awful weather. #enjoyinglife #celebrationsmustwearhatone #elsenootherchancetowearthem So we did have a little more to drink… and possibly got a little tipsy and probably a little noisy. #notdrunkjusthigh I guess we did disturb the people, erm, I mean person around us a little. #whoelsebutgrumpydaddy #oopsydaisy #whoaskhimsleepintheroomneverclosedoor #notreallyourfaultleh Not only did he give us a huge disapproving look, he started chiding us for underage drinking. #guiltylook But hey, wait a minute. We ain’t actually underage! I mean Pecan is after all a granny and me, I’m a handsome mature dude. To prove Daddy wrong, Mummy decided to whip out proof in the purest form – our …
Paw Pet-radise is BACK!!
Our little fragile hearts died a little the day we learnt that Paw Pet-radise was closing. Afterall, it was one of the first few pet cafes I went to. In fact, it took Pecan’s virginity (of pet cafe visits la) too lor. #okaythatsoundsgross #tryingtobedramamama We probably cramped in like… three visits in it’s last month of operation. #machiamendoftheworldlor But but but…. You know what…. apparently, Mummy told us that Paw Pet-radise has reopened! WHEEEEEEEEEE! #wrigglydance We couldn’t wait to get our little paws there! #sokiasuthatwewentduringthesoftopeningweek Although it is still located at it’s original location (at Balestier), it got a little facelift! The most noticeable difference, is the introduction of a solid partition at the entrance. Say bye-bye to the flimsy gate! No more greeting the new dog via a fence. #yespecanwearelookingatyou Not to mention that this is certainly more secured. Gone are the large sofas as well! With that outta way, there is more space for the dogs to wrestle and play. Our parents did comment that the new furniture isn’t as comfortable though. But …
Dog-friendly staycation at the Regent
So I admit. I’ve been experiencing some sort of a writer’s block. That clearly explains the lack of post in the recent weeks. #dontgiveuponme #thewriterinmeneedsabreakla To help me recharge and re-gather my creative juices, our parents decided to check us into a dog-friendly hotel for a short getaway. Wheeeeeee….. This time… they chose The Regent Singapore for our dog-friendly staycation! The Regent Singapore allows up to two dogs per room, with a combined weight of not exceeding 35kg 15kg. (APOLOGIES: We initially thought that it was 35kg as that was mentioned to us by the staff whom we spoke to over the phone. The kind people from Regent’s PR team dropped us an email to clarify that the weight limit is actually 15kg instead. Sorry about that!) #blurmummy #mybad Oh oh, best part of all, there isn’t any additional charges for having a pet (as cute as me) in the room. #daddy’spocketissmiling Check-in was easy breezy. The only difference was that we had to fill up a pet policy form. To make things even easier, …
