Finally… a trip to the B-E-A-C-H!!!!!

Published by

I was whisked away into the car early in the morning on the weekend. Dang! I thought I could finally laze in bed. -_- I was still groggy and half awake when we arrived at our destination 30 minutes later. When mummy winded down the window, I knew something exciting was waiting for me. It smelt like… the BEACH!  *Wriggly dance* Yes, we were at East Coast Park!!!! I got up immediately and attempted to jump right out the window. (Fear not, mummy had a good grip and I was still leashed..) When we finally got out of the car, I could not wait to get my little paws wet. Unfortunately for me, my stupid parents had yet to have their breakfast and I was dragged to the restaurant with them.  BOO~~ Anyway, mummy found yet another dog friendly place, Sunset Bay. As we were pretty early, there wasn’t much of a crowd and we were seated right away. After a 10 minute wait or so, our food was served. Daddy had shepherd’s pie while …

Happy belated Labour Day!

Published by

Since Labour Day (May 1st) was a public holiday, my sweet parents decided to bring me out to enjoy the sun and greenery of the little red dot. They chose to explore a new place! How exciting!! *Grinz* After some thought and little planning, we headed to…. BOTANIC GARDENS! Hee, it was certainly my virgin visit there. Apparently, both my parents couldn’t even remember when they were last there! (It was probably donkey years ago) So I guess that made it more interesting for everyone! To avoid parking woes, Daddy parked the car at the NIE campus along Bukit Timah Road. Lucky for us, we found a lot near the entrance to Jacob Ballas Children’s Playground. On the flip side, it was at the other end of the gardens. -_-  Nonetheless, we embarked on our journey of exploration around the famous garden. The whole garden is really dog friendly (though there are a couple of out of bounds area for me). The no off-leash rule doesn’t affect me as usual.  Wondering what we did? We …

Sam’s haircut

Published by

Rumor has it that I’m going for a haircut… Noooooooo…..  Mummy always loved my shaggy and unkempt look.  In fact, my look was exactly what convinced mummy to step into the traps of owning a crazy Jack Russell terror. Yes, she is that shallow.  The truth is, how not to love?  That being said, mummy did make the mistake of getting a groomer to shave my coat down in preparation for my first summer in NYC. When she came to pick me, she was convinced that she was given the wrong dog as I looked so different. She was a little heartbroken that she had ruined my cute shaggy look and I looked really unhappy too.  Lucky for us, my coat grew back gradually. (Phew~) Well… I really ain’t too pleased to recall my ‘botak’ (hairless) days. Thank goodness it’s over. -_- Since then, besides getting my eyes hairs and hygiene areas (my cute butt and little weewee) trimmed by groomers, I had not gotten any other haircuts and I kinda liked it that way.  Until …

Made with Love…Frozen Chicken Pops!

After residing in the little red dot for the past 3.5months, I think I’m doing relatively well. I’ve mastered my singlish, made a pawful of doggy friends and visited a good number of dog friendly places. While I’m beginning to consider myself Singaporean, the only one thing that constantly bugs me (and I just cannot get over it) is…the weather.  Yes, the horrid warm warm WARM weather.  Summers in NYC, while warm (perhaps even warmer) were bearable as the humidity was low. Besides, summers last no more than three to four months. Before we even knew it, it was over. Unfortunately for me, both me and the heat are here to stay (Noooooooooo~) and I’ve to learn to cope with it.  My solution?  I lie around the house like a dead dog.  Sad huh? Mummy was browsing through the “You bake ’em dog biscuits cookbook” when she suddenly got excited.  I dragged myself out of my bed to check out what’s causing her excitement. She showed me a recipe she chanced upon and thought that …

Our ECP outing…

Published by

We had a little family outing to the East Coast of the little red dot! As nice as the photos looked, it was a pretty circuitous journey getting there.  Well, you see, the intention for this outing was to attend a pets events at ECP. And since we are commuting from the northwest to the far east, mummy wanted to go cycling as well. We decided to fit mummy’s and daddy’s foldable bicycles plus Sam’s little bike seat into GrandDaddy’s sedan.  And boy, was it a challenge.  Firstly, bringing two foldable bikes, a bike seat and a not-so-obedient dog down the lift wasn’t exactly  a piece of cake. When we finally made it down, my parents spent a good twenty minutes trying to fit the bikes into both the back seats and the boot of the sedan. I swore I heard mummy heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that everything could fit afterall.  Secondly, we discovered that mummy’s bike got slightly damaged during the transportation from NYC and that tyres of both bikes …

Quick update!!

Sorry the lack of updates.  (I blame it on mummy as her 1 year old Macbook Air had decided that it was time to retire forever.) Anyway, I’ve made it safely to mummy’s homeland, Sunny little red dot – Singapore!  I’ve also survived A 6 hours flight to Amsterdam, followed by, a 10 hours layover and nope, I didn’t have no brownies, I swear. *Grinz*. And another 12 hours flight to Singapore. After which, a 10 days quarantine at Sembawang Animal Quarantine Station (but I had frequent visitors thanks to grandmummy and Uncle, and mummy’s friends). I’m also starting to adapt to the hot hot HOT weather in Singapore. Dang, I am a survivor, indeed. I’m not going to share much information about the pet transport company here as mummy was really disappointed with the amount of service she received for the amount of money that she paid for my ride. Well, let’s put it this way, my ride costs more than 2 round trip tickets from Singapore to NYC. (Yap, my parents are that insane.) …
