Yap, we are still around
Apologies for the silence on this space. And there’s only one person to blame – yes, our mummy
Our family photoshoot
While our parents ain’t really the phototaking/selfie kinda people, Mummy insists on a family photoshoot tradition. This means that with the addition of a new family member, there must be a photoshoot. When our parents got hitched, they did one. When they got the absolutely adorable world cutest me, we did one in NYC. So now that we’ve ah ma, it’s time for yet another one. #musthurrydobeforeahmaXXX #choy Mummy and Daddy hired Uncle Terry from One Eye Click for their pre-wedding and actual day shoot. She was so pleased with the experience that she knew instantly that she wanted Terry to photograph our future milestones. In fact, she was super tempted to fly him to NYC for our shoot there. Of course stingy Daddy put a stop to it. #mustprotecthisownpocketma Instead, Mummy found an amazing photographer, Auntie Melissa to do it. But now that we’re back in the little Red Dot, there was no doubt that Uncle Terry had to be the guy! So six years and two furkids later, here goes… #noneedlovela #twodogsenoughliao Mummy …
A day of Lure Coursing!
We finally met the adorable Westies (Klaus, Jasser and Koros, brothers from the same litter!) from the Wooga gang! But this was no simple meet-and-greet…. this was actually an awesome Lure Coursing Session!! #paiseh #icannottellwhoiswho If you’re wondering what lure coursing is (and is too lazy to click on the link above, tsk tsk tsk), it is actually a fast-paced chase sport for dogs. Using a specialised machine, dogs will run after a ‘bunny’ lure (usually a white plastic bag), that is attached to a line controlled by the device. The machine will run the line and the dogs will chase the lure. Simple as that. Mummy was really excited when she first heard about it. After all, Jack Russell Terriers (like Westies) are hunting dogs and chasing after a prey is in our blood! So, of course she would love to give it a shot! Lucky for us, Auntie Ashley has an extremely cool lure machine! “Wiggley dance” And..we got to try it out today! Woohoo~ #auntieashleysidabest We had to be held back while …
Sam I am
Mummy always tell people that I am an ABCD, an American Born Chinese Dog. Cos, I was born in the United States! Not only that, I am actually a true-blue New Yorker! Here’s how my story goes… Daddy was posted to New York for a work stint and of course, Mummy tagged along. #noitisnottaitailifeitishousewifelife Mummy has always wanted a dog (since she was a kid). So, there was no better time to have one when she has three years on her hands to kill in a foreign place. Hence, Mummy started researching about shaggy dogs and came upon Rough Coat Jack Russell Terriers. She also found a breeder (MeadowBrook Russell) in New York. And lucky her, there was a puppy available! Yap, it was yours truly. WAHAHAHA.. The picture that sealed the deal! My parents drove an hour that very weekend to check on me and to speak to my breeder, Patti. They always said that I was a fraud. After all, I gave them tons of kisses when we first met. (Once I went home with them, all …
Sam’s Pick: The Foobler
Those know me personally will agree that I am rather smart. Ho ho ho ho… #inotstupid On one hand, I would like to say it’s nature and genetics (but again, Ah ma kinda proved that wrong). On the other, it’s nurture. Since I was a pup, Mummy has always challenged me to an array of dog IQ toys, and may I say, I got pretty good at them. #bhb #samwinspawsdown On the other hand, Pecan ah ma is stupid a little dense and doesn’t take too well to IQ toys. I guess she just doesn’t have the patience to get to the bottom of it. #lazyahma Hence, when the kind people at Nekojam asked if we would like to give their new interactive toy a test-run, I was totally up for it. As for ah ma, well, as long as there’s treats involved, she’s in. So we waited patiently until we finally got our paws on the…Foobler! For a start, we were quite taken aback by it’s size. It was a good five times bigger than my …
The toy bucket challenge!
So, we were challenged by The Vanilla Pup, Latte and her owner on Instagram to do the #ToyBucketChallenge.We had to either pour a bucket of stuffies over our heads OR donate $10 to an Animal Welfare Group of our choice. Since it was for a good cause, we immediately said YES! to it. #challengeaccepted #bringiton Besides, nothing beats being showered with toys. Like literally. Mummy was all geared up and started walking around the house with a bucket to pick up the dead toys that were scattered around the room. To ensure that she did not sabo (cheat) us by putting a rock or two in it, she allowed us to inspect the toys prior to the challenge. #allclear The reason why Pecan ah ma looked blur in the image was that she actually attempted to steal a toy or two away! #itistoybucketchallengenotstealatoychallenge Tsk Tsk tsk… old people huh.. Once we gave her the green light, we got into position…. (Okay, we did switch position after a while… I didn’t want to stand near Daddy …
My staycation at Dog-friendly Capella!!
We used to go on plenty of road trips when we were based in NYC. Unfortunately for me, this came to an end when we moved to Singapore. One major reason is that there is a lack of pet friendly facilities in here. (boo!) When Mummy came to realise that Capella Sentosa was dog-friendly, she decided to book us a staycation! As it is a six-star hotel, a staycation certainly didn’t come cheap. There were several options for the types of room one can choose. Mummy pondered really hard and long before deciding to book the Garden Villa. Why? Because there is a PRIVATE POOL! Hee, I was looking forward to it like nobody’s business!! We had to take a bugy ride to our villa. (We come to realise that it was actually walking distance to the carpark, so after the first day, we decided to just stroll over.) My first bugy ride! The kind people there actually prepared a dog bed and bowl for me! And they even know to address me by my name. …
The best thing on Earth.. AMAZON!
We all know how awesome Amazon is. And we also know what an online shopaholic Mummy can be. So when we got wind that Amazon’s Global Shipping to Singapore is free for purchases above USD$125, you bet all hell broke loose! Within days of learning possibly one of the best news Mummy had have this year, she was in front of the iMac online browsing. AND.. A week after that fateful night, a lovely brown package arrived at our door step! Using my very cute paw-print, I signed and received it. Nope, I swore I didn’t bark at the mailman. Okay, maybe just one bark. Fine. TWO. I was all excited to see what was in it! Ta-dah~ (Yeah, green is mummy’s new black) I was in awe of the purchases. But I wasn’t sure if they were meant for me. Mummy: “Duh. Of course it’s for you.” *Huge huge HUGE smile* Mummy is da best! Time to explore and see what goodies are in there! Presenting the LOOT! Safemade Products! This company produces durable …
Shopping for Sammy!!
A parcel from Petswag came for Mummy today. I was jumping in joy as I knew that the contents were for me! However, my stupid parents decided to take their own sweet time in unveiling the package. They had dinner, took me for a walk, had their showers, did the laundry BEFORE it was finally time for the opening ceremony. Needless to say, I was so impatient by then and had my ultimate begging face on. PLEASE OPEN IT!!!!!!!!!!!! There were two items in the box. Item number 1 was…. a Chilewich Dog Mat in Sammy’s favourite colour – ORANGE! It is made from basketweave woven flooring and has an anti-slip base. Sure does make my boring meals a lot of interesting! I cannot wait to start eating away on it. I thought I should just start eating my supper on it. However, mummy started screaming at me when I brought my catch over and attempted to ‘eat’ it. Grown-ups are confusing. Boo~ Item number 2 was… a Cloud7 Travel Bed Tweed Grey (Medium)! Wondering what’s so …
