Pecan’s little quirks….

Published by

We usually try to keep our blog posts light-hearted and cheery.  I mean, that’s pretty much how our lives are. But occasionally, there will be certain dog-related encounters that pisses Mummy off (but again, a lot of things pisses that lady off.) and get her really upset. One such incident happened during our night walk today and we just felt the need to mention it here…. For those who have met me and Mummy at doggy events (Thanks for saying hi!!!), one of the most common questions I get is: “Where’s Pecan ah ma?” Don’t let her cute (PUI~) little face deceive you.  Unlike me, Pecan ah ma is actually not dog-friendly, at all. While she is the sweetest little thing to humans (even to annoying kids), she cannot handle the sight of another dog.  Things weren’t easy from the start. Since bringing ah ma home with us, Mummy and Daddy had to deal with the endless little squabbles that happened between us which usually ended with me screaming like a girl. We fought at …

Outing to West Coast Park Dog Run!

Published by

We typically spend our saturdays swimming. But since we’ve an exciting pool party tomorrow, Mummy decided to bring us to the WCP dog run instead!  So we dragged Daddy out to have some outdoor fun with us! (He wasn’t too pleased as usual) When we got there, we were super lucky! It was totally empty! I swore I could hear Mummy cheering. Pecan ah ma isn’t dog friendly. Hence, our parents had chosen the ungodly hour of 1pm to head to the outdoors, with the hopes that other owners aren’t as insane as them and thus, there will be no other dogs.  Well, in the occasion that there are people as crazy as her, Mummy does have a backup plan! She and Daddy will split up (ie. she’ll continue to walk ah ma outside while I enter the park with Daddy).  Needless to say, she was over the moon to find it empty! Guess she wasn’t the only one… We were pretty excited too! We spent a good ten minutes exploring and claiming the vicinity …

A dog’s box!

Published by

Who says boxes are only for cats? As a Canis Lupus familiaris (aka dogs), we can be rather fond of this magic cardboard too! One of Daddy’s online shopping (prob one of his war hammy related stuff) came in an extremely big box. Just when Daddy was about to toss it out, Mummy had an idea and decided to let us have some fun with it. So with a penknife, she cut over a couple of openings and viola~ My little boxy fortress! It was pretty awesome. It was so much fun hiding in it. Hee, I swear Mummy couldn’t find me and kept walking past me without realizing! #myfortisinformidable  A happy camper in his little fort. Sigh~  Too bad for me, Pecan ah ma decided that she wanted to join in the fun as well.  So she forcefully squeezed in MY the box with me. #notimpressed Ah ma clearly loves it too.  (Spot me sulking in the background?) She was small enough to weave in and out of the cutouts. Not pleased that my privacy …

Dumpling for Dogs!

Published by

Mummy came home with something weird looking today. I had no idea what the hack it was.  But somehow, Pecan ah ma seemed to be over the moon and couldn’t stop dancing around when she saw it. In fact, she was so excited that she couldn’t stop smiling. As for me, I’ve no freaking idea what this was.  I mean, it looked like a green solid rock with a sting tied around it.  I was rather wary of it.  Hm, was Mummy gonna use it to knock my head when I get into mischief? Somehow, I just couldn’t understand why ah ma was so happy. But again. she is kinda crazy. Seeing my apprehension, Mummy suddenly remembered something –  I am an ABCD (American Born Chinese Dog). Come ‘on, I bark in an accent k and I run away the instant I see durian.  As what Uncle Bernard (one of mummy’s friend) always says, I am a Siao Ang Mo (a crazy westerner) since my name is SAM. Mummy couldn’t stop laughing when she saw …

Say a little doggy prayer…

Published by

Mummy says that if I pray for something, it might just come true. So I gave it a shot… “I want some treats….please oh please” And VIOLA~ I was rewarded with some of my favorite treats in the world – Dear Deer Kneecaps and Neck steaks! Mummy swears by them as they are the very few treats that can keep me occupied for as long as thirty minutes! The rest are usually gone in seconds.  (Shhh, I love it so much that I will also growl when Mummy attempts to come near me when I’m enjoying one.) Of course, being the sweetheart I always am, I was more than glad to share some with Pecan ah ma.  We were so excited.  In fact, ah ma couldn’t stop drooling! #sogross So typical of the un-ladylike Pecan.  And when we finally each got one… the rest was history.  We gave Mummy the thirty minutes of peace she deserved while we gnawed to our hearts’ delight! Shall add it to my mid-year resolution to say a little prayer …

Our weekly groom

Published by

It’s time for something we anticipate weekly… Our weekly brush! It usually starts out with a round of furminator, which me and Pecan ah ma HATE! Mummy has to wrestle us to get that done, hence no pics, We dislike it as it can get a little pricky when she combs us. But Mummy’s a fan as it is really effective in removing stray hair. Thankfully, the second part of our weekly groom is wayy more bearable. Actually, it’s even kinda enjoyable! Using a pin brush, Mummy tries to neaten our coat and scratch any other stray hair left behind. It really feels darn good! As if we were having a good belly scratch! If you’re wondering if Jack Russells shed. Yes, we do. In fact, we shed a new dog everyday. There was so much hair that it could be rolled into a fur ball! Maybe we should do something with that hair.  Like weave it into a toy? We were brainstorming for some cool ideas. Of course, as usual, Mummy has other plans. …

Happy birthday Smiggle!

Published by

Remember Smiggle, the American Cocker Spaniel who had a crush on me? I was actually invited to her birthday present last weekend. #cannothelpthatIampopular Hee, her party was held at Paw Pet-radise as well.  Although it was held at the same venue, I was really impressed that her buffet spread of dog goodies was different from that of Cole’s.  Plus, I love how nice the presentation is. My only complaint – the yummy food was placed too high on a wall-table. Like that how I reach?! In the end, I had to rely on Mummy to get food for me. Likewise, the humans were stealing food meant for the dogs!! I saw Mummy and her group of friends going for second, third and even fourth servings of the fruits that were meant for us! PUI how can?! Happy birthday Smiggle! One more with the little birthday girl! Not only did I have a great spread of food, we were each given a Fetch-Box with a plushie in it as a take-home gift! Can’t decide which to …

Craftholic bunny!

Published by

Mummy and Daddy went shopping for a birthday presents today and along the way, they also stopped by Craftholic to buy each of our four cousins a small stuffy each. While looking around, one of the bunnies caught Mummy’s eye and she thought that it would suit Pecan perfectly! So she attempted to convince Daddy. Of course, his first reaction was ‘No’. Typical~ But after some persuasion, Daddy gave it and bought something for all the little girls in his life! Mummy – 2314231231 vs Daddy – 0 And when they brought it home, Pecan ah ma was over the moon! Fitting her small built like a T. She’s totally owning it. You think it’s the end of the story? Tsk tsk tsk… Nooooooo… of course not. Ho ho ho… When Mummy called her over to the kitchen to reward her for posing for the shots, I did what any rascal cunning dog normal boy will do. I STOLE HER BED. WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  It’s so comfy~~ Me likey~  Now I’m a little upset why Daddy din’t buy …

Our newest toy – An Instax Share Printer!

Published by

So Mummy had her eyes on an Instax Share printer for a long loooong while. The only thing was that it was a little costly. And when she finally couldn’t take it anymore, she sent Daddy the link and requested for him to buy it for her as a gift. And that almost THREE weeks ago. Everyday for three weeks, Mummy would come home expecting a parcel for her.  But it never came. Why? Cos Daddy kept forgetting. Mummy would always end up disappointed and proceed to nag Daddy to buy it soon. Tsk tsk tsk “Daddy, how can like that?” *Disapproving looks* And when Mummy surprised Daddy with a PS4, he must have felt like shit and quickly got around to buying the printer. (See la~ Guilty then buy. PUI~) Within two days, the printer arrived! As usual, we were pretty excited whenever there’s a box! Can’t wait to find out what’s in it. We’re keeping our paws crossed that it’s treats. When Mummy opened it, I was in disbelief. NO TREATS AGAIN?! Even …

Freezy Pups!

Published by

Auntie Charmaine went on a holiday to Hong Kong and came back with a gift just for Pecan ah ma and myself! THANK YOU AUNTIE CHAR! We were super excited when we got our paws on it!  It’s Freezy Pups! She’s really generous as well. She could’ve just gotten us the tray and the four sample packs. But she was such a darling and actually bought us not one, not two, but FOUR boxes of refill packs. *Wriggly dance* I HEART YOU MY MIL. Oh, ah ma says she loves you too. Happy dogs waiting for yummy and cooling treats! We were spoilt for choice as the starter kit came with four different flavors! Picking one wasn’t difficult. I simply chose my favorite color – Orange (chicken soup recipe)! It is so fuss-free that we could’ve done it without Mummy!  Simply dissolve the entire packet in hot water and we were done! Of course we needed Mummy’s help to distribute the portions evenly into the tray. And then the horrid news came.  We had to …
