A piece of me.. on the FRIDGE!

Published by

A package arrived for Mummy today.  As usual, I get the first sniff. Wondering what was it in? Ta-dah~ My very own… FRIDGE MAGNETS by Pop Doggie. Mummy previously customised a portrait of me  . Fedup with the lack of nice magnets, she decided to head back to the etsy store and using the same image, create magnets of me! A close up. Awesome isn’t it? And to feed Mummy’s recent obsession with cats, she decided to get a kitty magnet too! Pecan ah ma seems to really like them and was a little disappointed that there were none of hers. But guess what, I heard Mummy mentioning to Daddy that she’s gonna get a portrait of Pecan done too! (Well, before Daddy could comment, Mummy walked away. And he let out a resigned sigh. HAHAHAHAHAH) Good for you ah ma~! Meanwhile, can you spot the magnets? PS: Please ignore the expiry dates. The items were long gone. And yes, Mummy is that lazy. Mummy made five and is planning to give both sides of …

Dental Scaling – Checked!

Published by

For the past week, the phrase that Mummy repeated the most, besides “No, Sam! No, Pecan”, was “Don’t let her lick you, she has bad breath.”. Guess what? As of today, you will hear the phrase no more! Yap, Pecan Woods’ dental scaling procedure was a success! Not only did she not get affected by the anaesthesia, she did well with flying colours! Hooray!!! Besides an extremely relieved and happy Mummy, a slightly pleased Daddy, the both of us are basking in joy! Here’s to many more mischiefs and misdeeds together! Let’s do it, Pecan! Mummy’s note: Dr Vanessa is awesome!!!!! So in love with her right now. Hee. Anyway, Pecan did great and is completely back to normal! Best of all, her bad breath is gone and her teeth looks pearly white. Okay, I exaggerate, it doesn’t. BUT, it looks almost as good as Sam! Time to get her started on her daily brushings. Well done Smelly Girl! Hm, maybe it’s also time for a new nickname too….

Nicknames for the (poor) dogs..

Published by

Mummy is a meando.  Instead of calling us by our lovely names, Sam and Pecan, she figured that it’s funnier if she gave us nicknames. Pecan, aka Smelly Girl, is clearly not impressed. (But hor, her name is justifiable! Well, at least until her dental scaling appointment on Monday) Pecan: So mean… T_T I, aka Stinky Boy, am even more upset! I get my weekly baths and granted that I might smell a tad bit towards the end of the week, I certainly do not qualify as being ‘stinky’.  So, I decided to confront stupid Mummy. Me: MUMMY! IT’S NOT FAIR! I’M NOT STINKY. Mummy: Well, your fatty body does not stink, your attitude does.  Me: ……. My life sucks.

Bread-ed!

Published by

Hahahahahahhaha… Pecan got bread-ed! Unfortunately for her, being a JRT, she got blended into the wholemeal bread as well, just like me! Wahahahahahhaha…. Welcome to the family, Pecan. Who do you think make a better bread? Me me me!!

It’s treat time!

Published by

One other reason why we get along so fine, is that we are really respectful of each other’s space. Especially so when we are eating our own treats.  It normally starts with Mummy requesting a firm sit (Pecan always cheats!) from us. After meeting her low expectations, we will be rewarded with a chew treat each.  Then, we both scamper to our spots in the house! *pitter patter* Being the ‘senior’ (in terms of number of years in the household), of course I get the bigger bed. Pecan isn’t that much worse off as she settles for the most comfortable dog bed at home.  After which, we mind our own business and chew our own food. Being half my size, Pecan is also a slow eater. Even though we started at the same time, I was done in less than 10 minutes (I win!!) while she was only 10% done.  Zzzzzz So what I do after that? I eye on Pecan’s treat…. #Samthehawk Before being shoo-ed away by mummy. Boooo~ So smart little Sammy Loo …

Pecan Woods Loo Lim

Published by

It’s official.  I’m no longer the king of the household.  Mummy adopted (another) rough coat JRT over the weekend. Introducing Pecan Woods Loo Lim. Pecan is a feisty grumpy old lady (she’s 9 btw!) and growls at most dogs. Miraculously, we get along. Well, not the wrestling and tugging kinda get-a-long, but the “hey, we are cool” kind. We follow each other around the house, walk side by side and beg for food together.  Yeah, granted that there are the occasional growls, but all is cool the moment I roll over and surrender.  (I guess rolling over on my back the very first time we met also helped seal the deal)  She’s a little scrawny, so I look kinda fat beside her.  Sucks as I’m hearing talks behind my back that it’s time for me to go for a diet.  Boooo! Pecan is also a genki (healthy) ah ma! Mummy brought her to my favourite vet (Dr Vanessa) over the weekend and she’s given the all clear! (Daddy’s left with a hefty bill tho. Ho ho ho) The …

A game of catch

Published by

I love catching the ball my parents toss in the air. I mean, nothing’s more exciting and challenging than precision and hang time.  More importantly, I’m so athletic it’s insane! All set and eyeing on the ball. Defying gravity! I aim… I jump… and I miss..  (sound effects: *Gua gua*) !#@!%#$%$#^#$%^@ The stupid ball bounced off my teeth.  Dang it. Oh well, I chased after it anyway and got my paws on it, eventually. Guess I’m not that big of an athletic afterall. At least I had fun. PS: This was taken in July at Marina Barrage. And yes, it’s dog-friendly!

My origami pet dogs!

Published by

Grandma bought me a really cute book from the kids section of a bookstore – Doggie Divas Origami. Honestly, the cover of the book was too princessy and off-putting that I was a bit like ‘huh’ when I first got it (Mummy agrees). Despite the cover, we were both quite intrigued by the contents as this interesting read actually demonstrates how to fold origami dogs!  It even provides readers with pattern paper to fold specific dog breeds. There is also a sheet of stickers for you to customise your canines. Hee, you can choose eye colours for them! Mummy told me that I get to keep whatever I manage to fold as my pets. Hence, I was really excited and started examining the instructions right away.  I attempted to make myself a Schnauzer. Despite my nimble paws, my first try was a total flop.  My Schnauzer looked more like an elephant.  Boohoo~  Seeing how upset I was, Mummy stepped in and helped. And I did my part as the crafting duo by providing eye support.  …

From Bangkok with love..

Published by

My parents went for a short vacation to Bangkok.  Yes, they abandoned me. Nasty people right? Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time and I’m quite sure it won’t be the last.  Boo~ Anyway, as per all other trips, they came back with tons of loot for me! (It’s their way of compensation to me, and hey, I’m certainly not complaining!) The first and foremost – Treats. Tons and tons of treats. Hee, Mummy loves buying treats that ain’t available in Singapore to give me some variety! And yes, pizza is on the menu. *Wriggley dance* Of course, with mummy as the main shopper, non-sensical gifts are just part and parcel of my overseas souvenirs. I’m not fond of them in general, but whatever… Since I do look dashing in the bow-tie, I guess I will make do. Done with the usual, expected stuff. Time for some out of the box products! One of the highlights of the trip for Mummy is to check out thai designer dog products. And boy was she blown away! Introducing …

Sam’s little lunch bag!

Published by

The reason behind my ever increasing waistline (sigh~) was the lack of control over the amount of treats I got while I was at my grandparents’.  “But..maaaa~”  That’s no such thing as too many treats!!!! Pity my stupid parents do not seem to agree. As a result, Mummy decided to ration my daily meal portions and bring them over to the helper that watches me in the day. She started by using zip-loc bags, which she quickly realised wasn’t exactly environment friendly (Time to cut down my carbon pawprints). She moved on to Daiso boxes which were pretty useful. However, she always had to bring the boxes in ugly plastic bags there. And being mud-brain Mummy, she would often forget to bring either the boxes or the bags back.  So, on one of her “I-need-to-hit-USD125-to-qualify-for-free-amazon-shipping” shopping sprees, she decided that I deserve a nice little lunch bag of my own. Okay, considering the bag is half my height, it’s not that little. Introducing my Skip Hop Zoo Lunchies Insulated Lunch Bag.  Of course it’s a …
