Wooga-ing…

Published by

The two weeks Grandmummy’s previous helper went home for a visit (and never came back), Mummy sent me to my very first daycare in Singapore – WOOGA! It took Mummy a long long long LONG time to decide upon a daycare. When we were in NYC, there were tons of quality daycare (although prices can be a little steep) within walking distance of our apartment and finding one was easy breezy. However, in Singapore, the daycares’ quality just did not meet Mummy’s expectations. Despite spending a good month or so researching and looking around, none caught her eye. A couple that she did like were either too expensive or just too out of the way. Till she finally stumbled upon Wooga!  So why Wooga? 1. Vicinity (it’s just 5 minutes drive away) 2. Affordability ($26 for up to 12 hours!) – Mummy had to drop me off at 7am to rush off to work and pick me up at close to 7pm, so the long hours and affordability were godsend. 3. Plenty of walks and playtime – …

More from Amazon…

Published by

Part II of the Amazon Parcel finally arrived!  I was uber excited to check out what’s in it! Anxiously waiting.. When mummy finally opened it, I couldn’t wait to start sniffing out the contents! The first two items unveiled were disappointing, both to me and Mummy. I mean, I really don’t see why I would need yet another leash and collar (In the corner of my eyes, I see Daddy nodding away as I’m typing this sentence). To Mummy, the colours of the actual items weren’t quite what she was expecting. Based on the images on Amazon, she thought them to be of a more pastel orange, rather than neon orange. Hence, she was a little disappointed. A pity we are half way round the globe and returns are gonna cost more than the items are worth so we are both stuck with these. Boo~ Introducing the Lupine Dog Lead and Lupine Combo Dog Collar. On a side note, Mummy bought this collar as she wanted to get a martingale collar to replace my existing …

The Yellow Dog Project…

Published by

The Yellow Dog Project is indeed a clever initiative.  While Mummy is quite good and pretty attentive when walking me (always asking for permission before allowing me to approach another dog ), there have been instances where dogs would appear from a blind corner, startling both of us. Thankfully, the neighborhood dogs are usually friendly and we would end up having some fun greeting each other. However, there have been a couple of instances where we would bump into an unfriendly dog and a little argument would break out. (Growling and barking). I’m generally friendly, but can be really feisty when I come head to head with an unfriendly dog.  That being said, if the yellow dog project is adopted here, owners with dogs who need more space, will be able to warn other people (dog owners and people alike) about their dogs from a distance,  avoiding unnecessary confrontations and thus, protecting their own dogs and other dogs.  Another win-win situation!

The REAL dynamics of our relationship…

Published by

Peachy’s here for her second staycation with us.  On the surface (or at least on photos), we appear as the sweet happy couple of direct opposites.  But… what really goes on behind closed doors is… this. Yes. Peachy clearly wears the pants in the relationship. -_- I’m not saying I’m henpecked. I really do do my best to overpower her and be a ‘man’.  Unfortunately, my efforts are futile. The truth is she is still DA BOSS. Sigh~  #mylifesucks A totally defeated me and my gloating girlfriend in the background.  Boo~ As in all relationships, when it is futile to resist, you give in. And all will be good. I was too exhausted to fight back and just wanted to zzzz even when Peachy still wanted to play.  Gosh, she is older yet she is wayyy more of an energize bunny than me.   The only two instances where I am able to be a tad bit bossy are when… 1. The real boss Peachy is finally tired.. (and it takes a good while) Or …

Couple Outfits…

Published by

Remember Peachy? To thank Mummy for dog sitting, Peachy’s very sweet mummy bought us some gifts (toys, leash, harness etc). Mummy’s favorite of the lot was none other than… the couple tees. -_- Peachy’s mummy thoughtfully bought each of us two matching outfits! Introducing the SuperDogs!  And the barrister dogs!  Mummy kept laughing at me when I put on the Starbucks shirt as she thinks that I look like a wanna-be hunk going to the beach.  -_- Unlike Peachy who was super excited to put the outfits on, I wasn’t too pleased to wear something and was awfully glad when mummy finally took it off.  Phew~ Thankfully I only have to wear it if Peachy’s around! PS: Mummy just told me that Peachy’s coming for another staycation this weekend!  Time for us to plot some grand plans of mischief.  Ho ho ho ….

My Annual Health CheckUp!

Published by

Under the recommendation of my groomer, Happy Pets Grooming, Mummy brought me to my new vet, My Family Vet, located at Bukit Batok Avenue 4 (A really short walk from Grandmummy’s place!) And guess what, Mummy and I are both in love with Dr. Vanessa Lin! She’s really friendly, personal and extremely patient with the endless questions Mummy bombarded her with. With me, she was really gentle and sweet. (But again, it’s hard not to be when you see a cute face like me. Ho ho ho.) The main purpose of the visit was for my annual heartworm test.  No surprises, I am heartworm Free! I was allowed to take home my heartworm kit as a souvenir! (Mummy was quite fascinated by it and couldn’t wait to show Daddy while I couldn’t care less…) One Line = Heartworm Negative! After a good checkup, a blood test, tons of vaccination, we were good to go! Mummy was really proud of me for not whining nor crying when Dr. Lin examined me! Hee, of course I was greatly rewarded for my good …

Made with Love… 3rd Serving!

Published by

Mummy made chicken jerky today (again)! Practice really makes perfect. This is officially the best batch of them all! Using the jerky gun provided, the slices of jerky ended up being the right length and thickness. Not only were the texture and the color of the jerky excellent, they had the perfect chewiness and crunch too.  YUM YUM. (Don’t say I never share… The magic ingredients are…Minced chicken with parsley and garlic powder.) Hee, can you tell which are handmade? Presenting the Alessi Jars – perfect air tight dog treat jars that keep treats nice and fresh!   A Super duper excited me…  Led to a really happy me! Hee, okay, I know it’s getting slightly boring, but this is definitely the last serving of jerky! The next made with love entry will certainly be something more interesting.  (Maybe a dog cookie? *Hint hint mummy)

Dog Shaming..

Published by

Someone shared a link on facebook and got mummy interested. The link leads to a blog called Dogshaming which collates photos of dogs ‘admitting’ to their bad habits / behavior / secrets, pretty much just for laugh.  (How mean~ at our expenses..) Yeah, I’m sure that teaches us a lesson. The blog is really entertaining and mummy couldn’t stop laughing at the photos she saw. And I think she came to realise that I’m actually not that terrible a dog. LOL, I seriously pale in comparison to the rest of the dogs. But I am no angel (*grinz). Not surprising, mummy got motivated to ‘shame’ me and started thinking about my one big mischief. So, here goes… “I scratch the door (in protest) when my parents abandon me alone at home” Oooh ooh… check out my achievement damage on the door. Mummy wanted a guilty look so that I will appear that I’m repentant.  But the truth is… I’m actually quite proud of my achievement!! *HUGE GRIN* Hence the shots below are more realistic representation of …
