Made with Love: DIY Dog Toothpaste

Published by

Mummy is very particular about our day-to-day hygiene and health. One thing that she takes pride in, is how she manages to brush our pearly whites. Not just that.  She does it EVERYDAY. Religiously. #sheprobablywishesthatwecanbrushitourselves #sorrywedonothaveopposablethumbs PS: Ah ma got stinky breath, so I sit far far away. I started brushing my teeth when I was just a two month old puppy. Since the habit started really young, I am actually very fond of it. #thatexplainswhymyteethlooksogood I am 6 this year, and judging from the condition of my teeth, I’m very confident to say that there is no need for any scaling anytime soon. #thevetswhoIseearealwaysveryimpressed #importanceofbrushingteeth  (Okay la, Mummy thinks raw bones play a larger part, but that’s for another day/another post) Pecan, on the other hand, is almost bo-gay (toothless) after two scaling sessions to rid her of her bad (BAD, BAD) breath.  Now, her breath is way better. And to ensure that she doesn’t have to go under anesthesia in future, Mummy is doing her best to keep those remaining teeth clean and …

Made with love (once again) – Dehydrated treats!

Published by

We got busy with Mummy’s newest toy… a dehydrator! To be exact, it’s a Rommelsacher Automatic Dehydrator. This isn’t our first dehydrator. We used to have one that Mummy brought back from the states. Too bad for us, it gave way while it was chucked away in storage during our move. So, that gave Mummy a new reason to go shopping. #mouldyliao #mummyjustwantedareasontobuyanicerone There really isn’t many options for affordable dehydrators locally. Many of the meat dehydrators range in the high $700s.  #cannotaffordlor On the other hand, way cheaper ones are available on online stores. However, they don’t come with warranty and that kinda worries Mummy a little. Thus, to be safe (especially since the devices have to be left on for many hours), Mummy decided to invest in a decent one that isn’t too extravagant nor take up too much counter space. #itissmallenoughthatwecanevenfitinthebox #wheregotdogseeboxsohappyone #showingourinnercat Wondering what we are going to dehydrate? Ta-dah~ #pecanisadumbblondeindeed #howtodehydrateacupcake  #seeIsosmart I just need opposable thumbs to help me slice this chunky meat up. #ofcoursenotla #justkidding Here’s what’s on the …

Sam’s Pick – Ewegurt

Published by

Mummy loves me to the moon and back and would never push me away no matter what I do. Well, almost.  There is just one tiny little thing that will send her running away (and also pretty much empty the room in seconds) – my fart bombs. #yapIamsamthefartingmachine #myfartsarepotent #sorrynotsorry So when Uncle ZK from Platinum Pets dropped us a message to find out if we were keen to give Ewegurt a shot, Mummy jumped at it without any hesitation. #anythingthatcanresolvethewaytoofrequentfartbombsplease Mummy has been giving us yoghurt as an occasional treat for a while now.  While Pecan ah ma does great on it, the store bought yoghurt results in runny poops and (to mummy’s horror) added potency to my ‘almost-fatal’ bombs.  #Isecretlylikethatactually So, Mummy was keeping her fingers crossed that Ewegurt would do the opposite – help settle my sensitive tummy while providing probotics to help with my digestion. #butIlikemyfartbombsleh We were quite surprised when the packaging arrived. As it is branded as Sheep’s Milk Yoghurt Based Treats for Dogs, Mummy was expecting it to …

Our home – work in progress!

Published by

So, we finally got the keys to our new place in February this year and reno works started in March. Welcome to our new un-done place! #payusintreatstoenter We’re really excited to move in. Come on, just look at our new improved view. How can you not be excited? #countingcarswillbemypasttimesoon Now staying at home won’t be as boring as it used to be! As our new apartment is a resale unit, there is a substantial amount of renovation works that needed to be done. And again, Mummy is kinda demanding. #poordaddy #hispocketsemptyliao The before. #mummyreallydislikesthehideousmarbletiles #butwelikeleh As our parents will be up their necks in work over the next few months, we offered to be the project managers for the reno! #finallyearningourkeep We sniffed around to see what works needed to be done and did our best to convey it to our contractor. Work in progress! Yap, we are literally tearing everything apart. #howcanmummythinkthattisisnotamajorreno #delusionmummy To ensure that the works are up to our standards, we popped by frequently for site checks. Besides checking on the …

Sam’s Pick – My Pet IC (Version II)

Published by

Remember when we showed off our very own Identification Cards last year?  #wegotcardedforhavingalcohol Guess what? After almost a year, it was time to change ICs! And gosh, how timely it is as we could actually update our address to our new place! #youchangeICwhenyouhit30 #wechangeourseveryyear  Yap, My Pet IC refreshed the design of their IC tags and was really awesome to send each of us a new ICs! We were really excited to check out the new version! Wait Mummy, we should have the first look. #don’tcutqueuemummy #letusseefirst Showing off our new tags! #tryingtomatchtheexpressionofmyphoto We really liked the first version but agreed that there was room for improvement. Hence, we were really thrilled to see how the new ones addressed some of our earlier concerns. For one, it’s smaller in size and appears sturdy. So we needn’t worry that it might snap during rough and tumble. The tag now hangs horizontal (as opposed to vertical initially). With that, even when the ring remains the same size, the tag doesn’t hang too low. And our favourite new …

Sam’s Pick – Chew Time

Published by

It’s no secret that Jack Russells require a crazy amount tons of stimulation to keep these terrors out of trouble.  That’s pretty accurate for the case of me and Pecan ah ma. #memorethanherofcourse #seeourinnocentface  To keep us out of trouble (well, me mostly), Mummy invested in a huge variety of chews.  From rawhide (yucks, we no like), bully sticks (smelly and yummy), antlers (which was a total fail – it was so hard that I didn’t give a hoot about it), you name it, we probably would have done a taste test on it. #wewonderhowourbelliescantahanalltherubbishmummyfeedsus #nocomplaintsthough #nowonderdaddypocketisquiteempty Honestly, we had way more options when we were still in New York.  Once we moved back, Mummy noticed that it was rather challenging for her to find decent chews for us.  Well, of course until we chanced upon… Chew Time! One first experience was Christmas two years ago when… we won a Chew Time giveaway.  #seehowcheapomummyis Our first taste of Chew Time’s bully sticks. #goneinsixtyseconds #nolarwheregotsofast  Needless to say, we became instant fans of Chew Time! And …

Our Yacht charter!

Published by

It was a long weekend and with long weekends come exciting plans! This time, we were heading out to a fun day at sea! Yap, Auntie J chartered a yacht for the whole extended family (thirteen two-legged ones and three four-legged ones)! We gathered at Sentosa Cove and waited excitedly for our adventure to begin! #tryingtolivetheataslife #thisiswhatourdaddycanafford It was a tad hot and pretty soon, we were both showing our ‘Asian’ eyes, no thanks to the glaring sun. #whyyoutakephotoalwayssoslowone #ourmummysucks We met up with Captain and he led us to the yacht. Pecan ah ma is taking her pick of which yacht she fancies. Of course, Mummy said no to everything she picked. HAHAHAH #shethinkstoomuch Wondering where our yacht is.  #whysofar Finally, after what seemed like forever, we made it to.. our charter of the day – the Isaiah!  #atasliving Queuing up to get on board.  #spotthebacksideofourcousinRusty Mummy knew that the weather was gonna be really nasty (hot!). But she wasn’t very concerned initially as there was an air-conditioned living space on the first floor …

The Itchy granny

Published by

Pecan has been scratching non-stop of late and that got Mummy slightly worried. While she was concerned, she wanted to KIV for the moment. Then, a couple of days ago, she noticed a bump on ah ma’s chest (the spot where Pecan couldn’t stop scratching). So, rather swiftly, a vet appointment was scheduled and off to the scary place ah ma went. #luckynotme #goodluckahma Turns out that the skin bump was probably environment-related. Bumps are never a good thing, especially on a senior dog. But thankfully (and quite grossly), Pecan’s persistent scratching did cause the bump to burst.  #yucks While the bump is gone (phew), it is now an exposed wound and prone to infection. With that, we went home with a cream and instructions to prevent her from scratching or irritating the stop further. #nowshehasabaldpatchonherchest #lol It’s amazing how Mummy can always find reasons for her shopaholic ways. What better way to keep Pecan’s scratching at bay… then…dog clothes from ohpopdog! #justanotherexcuseforshopaholicmummy To ensure that the wound is kept clean, Mummy decided to purchase …

What’s up?

Published by

Well, nothing much actually.  Mummy was up to her neck in her work for the past month and would much rather catch up with her sleep than blog for us. #wehaveaterriblemummy So, for the Nth time, we apologise for the lack of posts no thanks to we-know-who. #pointsourpawsatmummy Thank you for not giving up on us! On a good note, things are finally moving for us! After a couple of months of deliberation and multiple (really disappointing) meetings with IDs, Mummy decided to take things in her own hands and decorate/design our new apartment herself. #dieliaola #surenodesignsenseone #lookhowmuchfaithwehaveinourmummy Regardless of how the place turns out to be (fingers/paws crossed), Pecan and I are really looking forward to just having our own space once again. Reno works start tomorrow! So, wish us luck! Let the countdown begin….

Happy Lunar New Year!

Published by

Our Lunar New Year was pretty blah~ For starters, we’re still staying with Grandmummy as our new place is not yet already. Thus, we really couldn’t have any friends over. #waituntilourneckslonglongliao Secondly, we weren’t included in any of our parents’ house visiting plans. #boohoohoo  Oh well~ Nonetheless, we were still dressed to the nines for the occasion. We ended up parading around the house for no one to see. #sosadhor Thank you Godmummy for the lovely outfits from Bangkok! #sighmatchymatchywithpecanagain Ah ma showing off her pretty dress and *cough* sexy *cough* dress. #oldliaosstilldaretodressuntillikethat Me looking like a dumpling in my outfit. Well, we all agreed that ah ma’s outfit was way cuter than mine. Mummy commented that the male outfit would be more complete if it also came with a hat. So she decided to do some lousy photoshop. Tadah~ #justforherownkick #tookherdamnlongla #sheisreallynotsavvy Oh well, wishing everyone a happy lunar new year! Hope you have a great monkey year ahead! PS: We do welcome ang baos. So please send them this way to help fund …
