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 …

A treat for the dogs!!

While Mummy was at work, a nice lady came and brought Pecan ah ma out.  The nice lady was actually none other than Pecan’s other Mum – the one who loved her and doted on her for the first nine years of her life! (Of cos she still does!) And when they returned a good few hours later, ah ma came back with a whole bag of goodies!!!!! Pecan was very eager to show Mummy what she brought back! After all the anticipation (we were staring at it all evening and nearly couldn’t resist the temptation), we finally got around to opening the loot! And we found….dog toys (STUFFIES!), apparels, supplements and, most importantly, DOG TREATS!! *wriggly dance* Pecan was super excited about it.. ME?  I was kinda worried that she isn’t gonna share her awesome stash with me!  But being the sweetheart she always is… *cough cough* She said okay! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ Ah ma is da best! We started off by sharing the toys.  I got the cupcake (how manly..-_-) and she got the ice …

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, …

The best part of Chinese New Year is…

collecting ANG BAOS!!!! And when our begging powers combined, our stash of red packets doubled!! Wheeee…thank you to all the awesome Aunties and Uncles! Now we just have to get our parents to bring us to the pet store to stock up on our favourite treats with the ang bao money!! But our job is not done! (There’s still 13 more days to the end of the lunar new year.) So,  More ang baos please!

HAPPY BARKDAY !!!

Mummy did something really awesome for us for my birthday this year!! For once, the planning started early!  A week before the big day, she sent this lovely photo to the very awesome Pawlicious Pet Bakery! We had no idea what was baking until Mummy came home with this surprise… OUR VERY OWN BIRTHDAY CAKE! How precious is this?! This is no doubt the best cake ever, especially since my last three cakes were blah!  (I actually had an ugly pink one for my second birthday cos she was so last minute. Like seriously~ ) Mummy chose beef as the flavour of the cake and also paid a little more for the lovely bone biscuits around it. Of course we were over the moon! THANK YOU MUMMY AND DADDY! How not to when the figurines are such close resemblance! Pecan with lil’pecan! Hehe, I think the figurine flatters her a fair bit. Maybe that’s how she looked as a pup. Sam with lil’Sam! Kudos for making me so slim! Somemore same size as Pecan ah …

Why we are siblings…

We are not from the same litter.  In fact, we are six years and half a globe apart (I’m American-Born-Chinese-Dog while Pecan’s a true-blue Singaporean).  Yet, our sibling resemblance is so strong that there’s no denying that we are both from the Loo-Lim household. How? We bunny hop the same way! We bark the same way. Our ears (and tongues) fly the same way. We fetch the same way. (By fighting for the same toy..shhh) Last but not least.. we smile the same way. How can we not be siblings?!

Buckle up!

Mummy bought Pecan ah ma her very own Buddy Rider.  (Oh wait, Daddy just told me that he paid for it. Oops) And when it arrived, we got to try it out! The logistics behind getting the foldable bikes, the Buddy Riders and two adorable dogs safely to the east side of the country was unbelievably challenging.  My parents spent an hour in the morning pumping air into the bikes’ tyres (while me and ah ma chillax by the side). Ten minutes went to transporting the bikes down and another 20 figuring how to load everything into the car. We were so behind schedule by the time we started! After some unloading and assembling, we finally got buckled in!   I was all comfortable and ready to jet off.  Pecan was a tad bit uncertain and took a while getting used to it. Pecan still a little hesitant. After a quick pep talk from me, she was all excited to go! And off we went~ I followed Mummy while Daddy took Pecan.  The lovely breeze …

Chasing Waves…

We had a blast this weekend doing what we do best – chasing waves!!! My awesome parents brought us to East Coast Park for lunch, some beach-time and cycling! Pecan is a natural bikini ah ma!  The moment my parents dropped our leashes, off she went, crashing into waves (barking at them as well) and running along the shoreline! Of course, I cannot lose la and did exactly the same! After having some ‘shiok’ run-free time, we got into a game of tag!  First, I got to chase Pecan.  Aiya~ no kick and I caught her easily! Tag! You’re it! Too bad for Pecan, she wasn’t quite my opponent and just couldn’t catch up! Nay-nay-nay-boo-boo~ *Smug look*   We eventually grew tired of the game and decided to just enjoy the waves and the beach! It was the best thing ever. Except for one tiny winy complaint – the water tasted disgusting!! And ah ma was so mean when I tried to bitch about it. BOoo~ We were really disappointed that we had to leave …

Our weekends..

This is how a normal weekend goes… We wake up to awesome massages, compliments of Daddy. Used to be better, but with Pecan’s demands to be met, I’ve to say that the standard has fallen. Tsk tsk tsk. We put on our best begging face while Mummy enjoys her TV lunch. I surrender to the boss of the household to get on her good boots for the week. We get ferried off to somewhere exciting. To the swimming pool for our weekly swim to be exact. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee~ Reach home and crash. Wake up and have a quick playtime. Eat our dinner. Finish it quickly Then, put on our begging face AGAIN while our parents have theirs. Weekends are the best!
