The recent lack of post…

The sole culprit behind the recent lack of post.. is none other than our… LAZY MUMMY! And her excuse?  Her recent addiction to the Korean Drama Master’s Sun.  For the past two weeks, Mummy has selected to abandon everything and sit right in front of the TV for one straight hour.  Yap, that means, no blogging, no photo editing..  NOTHING. Oh..and her occasional giggles and that weird smile she has on her face once in a while can get quite freaky.  #mummyisturningintoanajuma #koreandramahasstolenourmotherfromus Hey…we’re judging you. We’re counting down to the final episode of the show. RAWRRRRRRR… #giveusbackourmother #saynotokoreandramas

Sam’s first media party – Wagging Rights Singapore

When Mummy received an e-invite for a media event of a doggie daycare, we just had to say yes! After all, it was my very first event as a guest. Wheeeeeeeeee… Though the invite was extended to Pecan ah ma too, unsure of what other dogs might be there, Mummy decided to leave her at home to be safe. Sorry ah ma! I’ll have fun on your behalf yo? Hehehe… So off we went to…. Wagging Rights! Located at Joo Chiat, Wagging Rights is a wellness destination for dogs that includes a full suite of amenities such as grooming, daycare, pet-sitting, a pet concierge service, and special programmes for puppies and lazy dogs in need of exercise (erm..sounds abit like me). #Iamnotfat #Iamjustbigboned And oh boy, this place is huge!  In fact, it’s bigger than our house! Besides the reception area, it actually has three separate spaces – the puppy space, the actual daycare space and the grooming room. #IneedricherparentstobuymeaBIGhouse We were brought to the daycare space where I was allowed off-leashed. And so, off …

Sam’s Pick – Feed My Paws Mooncakes

Time flies and the Mid-Autumn Festival is back again! Wheeeeeee….. And the most important thing for this festival is of course… MOONCAKES! Knowing how much I enjoyed my mooncakes last year, Mummy decided to get me some again! Plus, we wanted Pecan ah ma to try it too. We were rather spoilt for choices as there were multiple online dog bakeries that were selling them!  But to give support and thank Auntie Crsytle for feeding our tiny tummies with tons of treats (check out our review here to find out what we stuffed ourselves silly with), we went with… *drum rolls* FEED MY PAWS MOONCAKES!! With so many yummy favorites to choose from, Mummy decided to go ahead and order the pack of SIX. It includes a mixture of savory [Beefy Cheese & Porky Cheese] and snowskin moon cakes [Durian Diva, Berry Bumbum & Pinky-Taro]. Don’t they just look so good? PS: Can you spot Pecan ah ma’s drool stains on the couch! #howcomeoldwomandroolomuchone #sounglam  Doing the sniff test to make sure they smell as …

Want a treat? Raise your ear!

It’s our favorite time of the day… It’s time for a yummy yum yum treat!!! And how do you know when I’m excited? My little ears will stand, stand, STAND! #Samthefakefoxterrier Actually, I’m not the only one… Pecan will raise her little ears too! Though I’ve to say that ah ma looks weird.. #ahmathefakebunny Raise your ear if you want a treat! ME ME ME! Somehow, my left ear seems to be stronger and would remain standing no matter how many times I move around.  Ah ma’s ears will just flip up and down.  Looks easy to raise your ear for your treat? The truth is..it took a lot of work! We had to keep jumping up and down for our treats to get our little ears standing! PHEW~ hard work it was. But dang, was it worth it when we finally got the yummy treats in our mouths!

Behind the scenes…

What can I say, we are certainly two very photogenic pooches. #bhb Of course, while the images that made it to the blog were carefully selected (Mummy has to make sure that they always portray the best of us), it’s what goes on behind the scenes that never fails to crack her up. Even if it’s at my expense. sigh~ We usually start with a normal shot. Before ah ma decides that it’s fun to creep closer… And closer.  Nope. In case you thought that I jumped off the shot, look closer. Yap, Pecan thought that it was fun to not only steal my limelight, but to step all over me instead. Of course, I wouldn’t take it lying down. As soon as the two shots were snapped, I fought back. RAWRRRRRR~ After she enjoyed a good long laugh, Mummy stepped in (while still giggling!!) to console me and with tons a fair amount of treats, I decided to hop back on the chair to give Mummy one final shot. Ah ma is clearly my …

Pecan’s little quirks….

We usually try to keep our blog posts light-hearted and cheery.  I mean, that’s pretty much how our lives are. But occasionally, there will be certain dog-related encounters that pisses Mummy off (but again, a lot of things pisses that lady off.) and get her really upset. One such incident happened during our night walk today and we just felt the need to mention it here…. For those who have met me and Mummy at doggy events (Thanks for saying hi!!!), one of the most common questions I get is: “Where’s Pecan ah ma?” Don’t let her cute (PUI~) little face deceive you.  Unlike me, Pecan ah ma is actually not dog-friendly, at all. While she is the sweetest little thing to humans (even to annoying kids), she cannot handle the sight of another dog.  Things weren’t easy from the start. Since bringing ah ma home with us, Mummy and Daddy had to deal with the endless little squabbles that happened between us which usually ended with me screaming like a girl. We fought at …

Freezy Pups!

Auntie Charmaine went on a holiday to Hong Kong and came back with a gift just for Pecan ah ma and myself! THANK YOU AUNTIE CHAR! We were super excited when we got our paws on it!  It’s Freezy Pups! She’s really generous as well. She could’ve just gotten us the tray and the four sample packs. But she was such a darling and actually bought us not one, not two, but FOUR boxes of refill packs. *Wriggly dance* I HEART YOU MY MIL. Oh, ah ma says she loves you too. Happy dogs waiting for yummy and cooling treats! We were spoilt for choice as the starter kit came with four different flavors! Picking one wasn’t difficult. I simply chose my favorite color – Orange (chicken soup recipe)! It is so fuss-free that we could’ve done it without Mummy!  Simply dissolve the entire packet in hot water and we were done! Of course we needed Mummy’s help to distribute the portions evenly into the tray. And then the horrid news came.  We had to …

Cat wanted…

When my parents moved to NYC, Mummy told Daddy that she wanted a dog. Without any hesitation, Daddy said yes. So here I am. When we moved back to Singapore, Mummy told Daddy that she wanted a SECOND dog. (So demanding hor~) Daddy said no for a while before he saw Pecan ah ma’s photo. Then he said yes, reluctantly. So here’s ah ma. After we got ah ma, Mummy told Daddy she wanted a cat.  (She is totally pushing her luck) Daddy said no. After a while, he remained a firm no. Of course Mummy didn’t give up. And when Auntie Charmaine rescued a little ginger kitty (lil’ Weasley), Mummy thought that it was time to try again using a different approach. This time, she needed me on her side.  So, on a fateful afternoon, she brought me to meet Weasley. A sweetheart he is, but an angel I am not. (Plus Daddy stuffed me some treats with a little instructions) In a nutshell, I did not get along with Weasley, not at all. …

Our lives through an iPhone – Bishan Park!

Pecan’s trainer wanted our parents to expose her to other dogs (from a safe distance) to work on her reactivity. Thus, our devoted parents brought us here for a walk in Bishan park! They actually woke up at 7.30am on a Sunday morning for this! #myparentsaredogslaves Though they did have to drag my lazy ass out of bed, it was all worth it! I did get some playtime in the dog run (accompanied by Daddy of course), while Pecan and Mummy worked on ah ma’s training.  Pecan did great and only reacted to one out of the four dogs she met! Kudos ah ma! Keep up the great work!

Must love Jacks…

Every time someone asks Mummy about why she decided on Jack Russells out of the many breeds, she would let out a resigned sigh, take a deep breath and express regret. Then, she would start ranting about our countless antics, e.g. too hyper, feisty, small-dog-syndrome, blah blah blah.  What la~ So not fair right? JRTs are the best breed ever lor.  So to our defense, let me and Pecan ah ma tell you what an awesome breed we are. To begin with, we are super intelligent. So smart so that we can do things on command. Mummy: “Smile Sam~” Sam: “Ay ay~” We can even nod in agreement with your philosophical views. We have the best begging faces. So please don’t bother saying no to us. Wahahahhaha.. We live life and know the best ways to distress. Such as by having a drink or two. (FYI, I’m legal k. I’m four doggie years old, which equates to 28 in human years!) OR  simply sleeping our lives away on our nice cushion… though we secretly prefer …
