Apple Jelly for dogs!

We know something was cooking when Mummy started cutting apples into cubes in the kitchen! Plus, she also took out her sam-sized cooking pot.  And we were right! Guess what’s on the menu…. It’s… APPLE JELLY FOR DOGS! Wheeeeeee~ You are probably wondering where she got the inspiration from… Mummy bought a dog jelly mould donkey years ago from Amazon (Most likely because she needed items to hit the minimum USD125 for free shipping). After it had collected dust for a good few months, she decided to finally put it into good use. (And we are not complaining!) (Source) A quick google and Mummy realized that there really isn’t any simple recipes for jellies for dogs. Hence, she decided to come up with one herself using whatever she could find in the kitchen. She used chicken stock, apples and gelatin.  Simple as that.  And it looks promising too! We were so excited to get started on our dessert till the horrid news struck. Yap, we had to leave it in the chiller overnight. #Notimpressed After …

Pets Picnic Party

It was the pets picnic party yesterday and of course I had to tag along! While the picnic started only at 4pm, I was there since noon to lend a paw for the setup.  Making ourselves useful by lazing on the stage. As Mummy was busy running around and helping out for the event, I was pretty much left to entertain myself. Thankfully there were many nice korkors and jiejies to keep me company. Besides, when it got super boring, I had brownie, my poopbag holder to play with me. It was a pity that Mummy is part of the organizing team. Because of that, I didn’t have a picnic mat to chill on, yummy food to beg for or decent photos to post. -_- Well, at least I got a nice grass patch to laze on and some dogs to check out. Plus, the lovely people of Superdog Kitchen gave us a bowl of yummy coconut water with some watermelon. Refreshing for a warm picnic! *Slurps~* In addition, I did have Jager and Snowy (tied …

ROARRRRR

Since it’s crunch time at work (it happens once every two months), Mummy’s suffering from a mental block for things for me to blog about. She was scooping around the house looking for some inspiration when she came across her favorite lion mane wig.  *Horrified look* Nooooo…..  But since I’ve already posed with it, there’s nothing novel about me wearing in. Hee, so no surprises who had to take the fall to entertain Mummy… Yaps, introducing Pee-Kee the Lion! RAwrrrr Lucky for Mummy, Pee-Kee is one happy lion! All smiles and pleased with her new hairdo. Then of course, stupid Mummy just had to do a comparison shot. Yap. My life sucks. Sammo the grumpy lion. To be honest, I think Sammo the grumpy lion is wayyy more convincing than Pee-kee.  Check this out man! I was quite surprised that I looked so…’lion’ here. Must be those slit eyes. LOL Anyway, Mummy convinced me that if I put on a smile I would get some treats.  So I squeezed out one just for the treats …

Sam ‘n’ the city 2014!

Me and Mummy went on a special date last saturday!  (Yes, we left Pecan ah ma and Daddy behind at home to rot to death. Ho Ho Ho ) For our special day out, Mummy decided to bring me to the city! Well, The promontory @ Marina Bay to be exact. And yes, I finally got to enjoy the satisfaction of marking my territory at Marina Bay. Wahahahaha The truth was… Mummy brought me to the 8 Days Pets ‘n’ the City 2014 event. Since Pecan ah ma isn’t very dog friendly yet, Mummy decided to leave her behind and got Daddy to accompany her (Before you start pitying Daddy, he actually likes being home rather than stuck at a dog event). The event was a little blah~ I mean the booths were disappointing and there was nothing for sale that I wanted.  Mummy did get a free Old Chang Kee curry puff, which she gobbled up herself without offering me any. So horrible right? Anyway, here’s a lousy “I was here” shot.  Geesh, Mummy really …

Groomed!

I was still wondering if there was any special occasion today as we started the day a little differently.  Our usual weekday morning routine includes Mummy dragging herself out of the bed. Then she drags me out of bed. She brings us for a quick pee and loads us into the car. She’ll then drive to Grandmummy’s place, drop us off and head to work. And we will spend the rest of the day rotting away. But it was different today.  First, we got to sleep in late. Then, Mummy brought us for a nice long walk in the morning. We came back for a yummy brekkie and Mummy even gave us some of her sausage bun. And, the best part of all, we went swimming~  Wheeeeee~ All on a weekday! Of course, just when I was wondering if it is my birthday again or something like that, I started to realize what was going on. Yap, a grooming session that is. I’m not a big fan of grooming.  And thankfully, it happens only once …

The aftermath of Pet Expo

Sorry for the lack of posts.  The reason is simple. This is how I look for the past five days. Acting cute and being the centre of attention for three consecutive days sure is tough.  If you think I look like crap, you should see Mummy. But to spare you the agony of having nightmares from looking at how zombified she is, I’ll just put another one of my half-dead look. I’m recharging and should be back to my chirpy self soon. Meanwhile…zzzzzz

Jager and I!

One of my favourite friends in Singapore is…  JAGER!!! I’m so fond of him that I would run up to him and shower him with kisses the moment we meet. And of course, roll over my back too. In fact, we play so much that our parents kept joking that we are a couple! One of my little known quirks is that I’ve a tendency to snap at bigger dogs who step on me accidentally.  But somehow, Jager, despite being almost four times my size, is such a gentle giant that Mummy never once had to worry that we would end up in a squabble. Although we have known each other for almost a year now, this is probably the first few good photos of us! Hehe, stupid Mummy actually said that we looked like we are shooting our bridal shots (Jager is the groom in tux while I’m the bride in white).  Like wtf… 

It’s a Doggie Pool Party!

Mummy chipped in with Auntie Charmaine (aka my mother-in-law) and bought us a… PADDLE POOL! It’s actually meant for kids but it works great for dogs too!  *Wriggly dance* Auntie Charmaine had wanted to get one for her boys, Snowy the Golden Retriever and Jager the Alusky! So, Mummy, thinking that it was a brilliant idea, decided to share the cost. Plus, Auntie Charmaine has a lovely front garden that had ample space for the pool! It certainly reminded me of the good old NYC dog park days where we got a lovely dog pool each summer to combat the heat! Hence, I was wayyy over the moon when Mummy told me what was happening! Auntie C, ya the best! Let’s get the party started!! It took the adults about ten minutes to assemble it and probably another ten to fill the pool.  Pecan ah ma was the first to realise what was going on and certainly couldn’t hide her excitement. In fact, she was so excited about it then she happily hopped in even …

Aftermath of CNY..

Who knew house visiting is this tiring!  We were dead tired after giving our parents’ relatives our million dollar smiles and begging faces. We clearly won’t expecting ang bao collecting to be so exhausting! Thus, we were extremely relieved to be given a nice long break today!!   I’m lying like a dead dog while Pecan ah ma is just happy stoning.. But looking at our stash and dreaming about the amount of treats that can buy, we are more than willing to do it again anytime!

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 …
