Our Yoghurt beards..

Mummy had some leftover yoghurt and she decided to give us some. It was the best thing EVER!! We licked and licked and licked and licked… so much so that we actually ended up with… YOGHURT BEARDS! After wayy too soon, we had licked the cup sparkingly clean. We really couldn’t be bothered with what Mummy was laughing non-stop at. (Crazy woman) We just wanted more yoghurt! We did what we do best: put on our begging puppy eyes.  We even added some lip-smacking actions to up our begging powers. After way too long, (and our crazy mummy still laughing) I came to realise that there was nothing left. Booooooooo~ Pecan ah ma naively continued trying (she tried really hard too) and me, well, just my usual pissed off face. “Why you buy so little?!” Booooo~ WE WANT MORE YOGHURT!!!

Mummy’s Nth Shopping Spreeeee~

Huge parcels arrived at our doorsteps today. And judging by past experiences, there must be something awesome inside for us. We put on our best behaviour for the night and waited impatiently for our surprises… And after dinner, our gifts unfold one after another. It started off with something kinda blah… Yet another Kurgo seat protector. We already had the khaki one, but Mummy wanted to get one for our own ride. Boring~ Next please. Mummy’s next purchase was a Canine Friendly Pet First Aid Kit! Not only does it come in a nice and compact packaging, it is equipped with items we need in case of an emergency. There’s a First aid instruction manual as well! In fact, Daddy the medic was pretty impressed and commented that our first aid kit is even more comprehensive than the human ones they have at home. #thingscrazymumsbuy Thankfully those were the only crappy items since they were of very little value to us. Best of all, the rest of the purchase were rather amazing! A purchase for us …

Cartoon Pecan!

Pecan’s portrait finally made its way from my homeland (USA) to Singapore! And Mummy was really delighted to see it! The proud ah-ma showing off her cartoon version! Of course I cannot lose,  so here’s a photo of adorable me and my even more adorable cartoon portrait. hmph~ Ain’t we cute? Somehow ah-ma decides that her best angle is her right profile.  I don’t quite agree but she wasn’t very receptive to my suggestion.  Anyway, as promised, Mummy went ahead and made magnets using ah ma’s drawing. So, here’s her and her magnets and a distracting strand of hair belonging to Daddy on the floor.  #mummyneedstosweepmoreoften Spot us on the fridge! Mummy’s planning to frame our portraits together and hang them on the wall. Can’t wait to see the outcome!

It’s a Doggie Pool Party!

Mummy chipped in with Auntie Charmaine (aka my mother-in-law) and bought us a… PADDLE POOL! It’s actually meant for kids but it works great for dogs too!  *Wriggly dance* Auntie Charmaine had wanted to get one for her boys, Snowy the Golden Retriever and Jager the Alusky! So, Mummy, thinking that it was a brilliant idea, decided to share the cost. Plus, Auntie Charmaine has a lovely front garden that had ample space for the pool! It certainly reminded me of the good old NYC dog park days where we got a lovely dog pool each summer to combat the heat! Hence, I was wayyy over the moon when Mummy told me what was happening! Auntie C, ya the best! Let’s get the party started!! It took the adults about ten minutes to assemble it and probably another ten to fill the pool.  Pecan ah ma was the first to realise what was going on and certainly couldn’t hide her excitement. In fact, she was so excited about it then she happily hopped in even …

Our ride..

Pecan and I are like the grand(fur)kids that will never grow up. Hence, our daily arrangement goes like this – we get dropped off at Grandmummy’s place (just five minutes ride away) in the morning when my parents leave for work. They will bring by and pick us up after work and bring us home.  The plan works well as it means that we will never be home alone for an extended period of time. (Grandmummy’s domestic helper will walk us every few hours) All is great, except for one tricky part – My parents are leeches and are sharing a car with Grandmummy.  While it usually works out and my parents will take the car home in the evening and drive over in the morning, there are times when Grandmummy will need the car in the evenings and she will end up parking it at her place. As a result, she has to swing by to pick us up in the next morning. And boy, do we hate it! Cos she is ALWAYS LATE! …

Our Green hike at the Green Corridor

For the first time in a very very blue moon, Mummy decided that she wanted to go for a hike with us. And of course, Daddy could not say no.  Hence, on a very bright Saturday morning, she woke up and dragged two sleepy dogs and one very sianz husband out of the house at 8.30am! (SHE NEVER WAKES UP BEFORE TEN ON SATURDAYS! THIS IS A MIRACLE)  Our destination was none other than Green Corridor! Mummy had heard great things about it from other dog owners and finally decided to explore the place for herself! The Green Corridor used to be a railway land connecting Singapore and Malaysia. After the train stations were relocated, the railway line began defunct. While plans on what to do with the space is still underway, in the meantime, it has been converted into an awesome cycling and pedestrian path connecting many green spaces together!  For a start, we decided to challenge the Bukit Timah Train Station-Holland Road stretch of the Green Corridor. We got Grandmummy to drop us off at Holland Road …

Our Birthday Treat – Pet Cruise

Our birthday came in three parts this year.  The awesome cake was just the icing. The second highlight of our special day was a…. PET CRUISE!  I mean..why not? Since both Pecan ah ma and myself are such huge fans of the water, Mummy thought it would be apt to bring us on a cruise out into the sea! How cool is that!! *Wriggly dance* Each dog is considered a passenger and the maximum capacity of the boat is ten. Any group with four or more is required to book the whole cruise.  Since there are four of us in total, we ended up having the whole boat to ourselves!  Mummy did invite a few friends to join us. Unfortunately, due to her extreme lack of communication (okay la, to her credit, she had been working late nights for the whole week prior to the cruise), none of her friends turned up. Boooo~ no give me face.  PUI. But it worked out great as that meant that we had more space to roam around!  Plus, …

Aftermath of CNY..

Who knew house visiting is this tiring!  We were dead tired after giving our parents’ relatives our million dollar smiles and begging faces. We clearly won’t expecting ang bao collecting to be so exhausting! Thus, we were extremely relieved to be given a nice long break today!!   I’m lying like a dead dog while Pecan ah ma is just happy stoning.. But looking at our stash and dreaming about the amount of treats that can buy, we are more than willing to do it again anytime!

Our CNY treat!

As per our new tradition, the dogs will get a dog-friendly replicate of a festive human meal!  We were extra looking forward to what yummy treat we were going to get this Lunar New Year. Seeing what a huge Yusheng fan Mummy is, we were actually a little worried that she is going to just serve us shedded raw veggies.  BUT….. lucky for us, she got lazy and instead of whipping something up for us, she decided to order one from a dog bakery! So, she went ahead and ordered a special something from Superdog Kitchen  for us! We were super excited when she told us it had arrived! Me checking out the mystery package… that was none other than a CNY Bak Kwa Tart!!! Knowing that I am a huge Bak Kwa fan, Mummy knew I would absolutely love this tart. And she was so right!! I had my first taste of Bak Kwa last CNY when Granddaddy decided to sneak me some. I was an instant convert. Needless to say, Mummy was really upset with Granddaddy as she …

Cartoon us!!

Remember this? As promised, Pecan finally got her very own customised cartoon version done. In case you are wondering, Mummy ordered both from the same Etsy store.  Thank you Kari (PopDoggie) for the great cartoon caricature!! Too cute isn’t it? We are still waiting for the actual copy to arrive and Mummy even ordered magnets along with it too!! Cannot wait to see them!
