Dog-friendly Smoothie

Published by

We’re dying from the heat. #whysohot #twodeaddogslyingonthefloor After seeing how lethargic we are, she decided to whip up some smoothie! #mummyisdabest #weapprove #tonguesofapproval Our dog-friendly Mango-Strawberry Smoothie! Here’s what we need: One whole mango (cut into cubes and toss the pit away) A box of strawberry (Freeze it overnight to make the smoothie ice-cold when served) A cup of plain yoghurt One teaspoon of honey (optional, especially if your mango isn’t ripe enough) Did you know? Mangoes are actually good for dogs (source)! But be careful to keep the pit away from us and feed in moderation. #yummyfoodthatisdogfriendlyisdabest What to do: Simply toss everything into a blender and blend blend BLEND. #easybreezy Giving the sniff test. #pecandoesnotcare #shejustwantstodrink #samthefaketastetester Off we went! Yumz! #mustlickeverysingledrop #pecanapprove We absolutely love it.  And unfortunately, so does Mummy #ourmotherstealourfoodagain #ourlifesucks Oh well, at least it did wonders to cool us down in the nasty heat. Hope it does the same for you too!

Barking Good: Pee-Can-Bites

Published by

Anyway, some of you may know that our dearest Pecan ah ma went for a dental scaling recently.  We knew that Pecan ah ma’s scaling was due. But Mummy was rather hesitant as she really did not want to put Pecan under anaesthesia if possible. However, after consulting with as many as four different vets, Mummy got the consensus that the procedure was a necessity. Oh well~  So in ah ma went. (And out went $1.2k from Daddy’s pocket!) Pecan isn’t the most cooperative pooch at the vet (she’s a pain like me!).  #likebrotherlikesister #cannotletthevetbullyuslor So during the initial consultation, Mummy was told that at least three teeth needed to be extracted. There might be more, just that the vet couldn’t tell as of then. But what Mummy didn’t expect was that these many teeth had to go…. YAP, they all belonged to Pecan. #toothfairyisgonnabebroke In case you’re wondering how many came out…. Mummy wanted to keep them, so the vet obliged and packed it for us.  #weirdsouvenirs #cankeepiscankeepjustnotonpecan While Pecan’s bad breath is finally …

Made with Love: Pumpkin-pork treats

Published by

After watching episode after episode of Cupcake Wars (yap, she indulges in trashy shows), Mummy developed an itch for baking.  So, naturally, that means more home made goodies for us! Wheeeeee~ #godblesstrashyrealitytv Introducing our very own Dog-friendly Pumpkin Pork Cookies! And trust us, it is outta the world! #lickspawsinsatisfaction  What you need: This makes about 80 cookies! (Yap, Mummy’s trying to kill us with cookies. But hey, we ain’t complaining.) 3 cups of wheat flour (replace this with a grain-free flour if your dog is prone to allergies) 1 egg 300g of lean pork One half of a pumpkin 2 tablespoons of parsley 1 tablespoon of coconut oil  Do keep some water and excess flour on hand too. And we shall not forget the most important tool of the day – dog-shaped cookie cutters from Muji! What to do: 1. Preheat oven to 175 Degree Celsius. 2. Cut both the pumpkin and lean pork meat into slices and boil till soft and cooked. 3. Blend the mixture into puree form. 4. Pour the puree, flour, …

Made with Love: Blueberry Ice Cream

Published by

It’s been a while since Mummy made us something. So, she decided to whip a yummy dessert to combat the heat! It’s none other than… Blueberry Ice Cream for dogs! #mummycannotplateforherlife #ittastedbetterthanitlooked #mummypretendingtobeadessertchef #failla It was a real simple fix and required only a handful of ingredients. What you need: 2 cups of plain/greek yoghurt 1 box of fresh blueberries 1 teaspoon of honey 1 piece of dehydrated pork/beef/chicken jerky Checking out the ingredients and giving it our sniff of approval. As neither me and Pecan ah ma are fans of fruits, Mummy decided to incorporate some blueberries to trick us into eating them.  Besides having antioxidants, they can also help with cognitive functions for older dogs. #senileahmaneedstoeattonsofblueberries #sucksthatwegotoutsmartbymummy What to do: 1. Puree the blueberries using a blender (Do set aside some as garnish) 2. Using a mixer, mix the yoghurt and honey together.  3. Add the pureed blueberries and mix thoroughly. 4. If you have an ice cream maker like us (we have a Cuisinart), pour the mixture into the maker and churn for …

Happy 5th Barkday to Sammy Loo!

Published by

Yap, it’s the time of the year once again. Little Sammy has grown one year wiser. To celebrate my bark day this year, Mummy decided to gift me not one, not two, but FIVE pressies (one for each year of my life!)!!! Wheeeeeeee~ #omgomgomgomgomgOMG #ofcoursethebudgetcamefromdaddy #nopehedidntgivewillingly To kickstart the celebrations, Mummy got us customised hats from The Lil’ Rascals! Now, we are in the right party mood~ Woohoo~ Bring the presents on!!!!!! A customised Birthday Cake from Pawlicious Bakery! There’s no birthday without a birthday cake! Hehe, since we had their signature fondant figurines for our Barkday last year (fyi: the figurines are still intact and sitting around in the house!), we decided to change things up a little. So, Mummy got Auntie Jaster to illustrate us doing our favourite activity in the world –  rescuing drowning toys! We sent Auntie Jaster a reference pic like this: And she came up with this awesome cake!!! #ohmygawd #ahmaiswearingabikini #samisrockingboardshorts We’re totally loving it. Okay la. I think Mummy loved it more than we did.  We just wanted …

It has been a year since…..

this smelly mouth, terror, senile ah ma, Pecan came into my life… And there’s not a day that goes by where I do not ask myself this question. But the truth is… she’s here to stay. FOR A WHILE. #FML #whyamIstuckwithacrazyahma Although this genki ah ma has slowly crawled her way into the ‘supposed’ senior years, (She’s Eleven btw) she’s still as active and happy as a young puppy. #actyoung As embarrassing as it may sound, I’ve to admit that there are many a time where I could hardly keep up with her.  When we first took Pecan home last year, we were given only two items – a bed and a toy.  Unfortunately, both items smelt as bad (if not worse) than her breath at that time. #ahmahadkillerbreath #shecouldmakeyoufaintamileaway #thankgoodnessthosedaysarehistory Hence, when Mummy became fairly confident that she had adapted to our home a couple of weeks later, she tossed those items away. Truth was, she didn’t even need a week to adapt. She stole my bed the very same day lor.  #buaypaiseh Anyway, …

Halloween @ Pawlicious Bakery!

Published by

I admit. I’ve a slight phobia of Halloween. Whenever I hear that the day is approaching, I pee a little in my (invisible) pants. And the reason is totally man-made. You see, on my very first Halloween, when I was a mere adorable, cuddly little nine month old puppy, my horrible stupid mummy thought it would be fun to dress me up. So she went to the stores and grabbed me … this. Apparently, stupid mummy didn’t get the memo that Halloween is two months BEFORE Christmas.  So, yap, I ended up being Santa’s unwilling helper for Halloween. #Mummyneedsacalendar As if it wasn’t bad enough, it was actually a matching outfit to Mummy’s Santa-rina outfit.  Yap, I was stuck in a tacky matching outfit with my mother. #ultimateloser #pleaseburnthesepictures Oh, and did I mention that she actually brought me to the Halloween Parade in the Village. And I got scared shitless by the zombies in the subway and started barking at them. And there was this guy in a shower curtain stained in blood. And …

Made with Love – Desserts!

Published by

Mummy brought home some leftover dog-friendly food from a work shoot today.  And with some tips from Auntie Gwen, Mummy decided to spice it up for us! Using just some greek yoghurt, Mummy turned the leftovers into a yummy Greek Yoghurt Sweet potato, apple dessert, with cranberry toppings. Looking good! As usual, I wasn’t too pleased with the long photo-taking. #attitudesam And boy, it sure was delicious!  This is the best kind of food. Not only does it taste yummy, it is actually healthy! Yoghurt is actually good for our little tummies while cranberries are beneficial for our urinary tracts. #winwinsituation # We were rather disappointed after licking our bowls sparkling clean to learn that Mummy wasn’t gonna give us second helpings. WHY~~~~ And even our best begging faces failed to work their magic. On a good note, Mummy did cut up the leftovers of the leftovers, place them into several ice cube trays, pour yoghurt to fill them up and send them to freeze in the freezer.  For a rainy day she says. #PUI …

Cozy up

Pecan ah ma loves to cuddle with me.  But, to be honest, I’m not exactly on board with her on that.  #Iamnotintooldladies I mean… the weather is already so warm, I really don’t need another body warmer sticking to me.  And, her breath is just…. #menowantasmellyoldladywholovestodroolonme So, we came up with a brilliant plan – A Sam-inspired pillow! Now ah ma can lie all she wants on ‘me’ and I don’t have to worry about overheating or stinky drool. #winwinsituation #shejustslappedthepillowmewithherpaw And no doubt, ah ma is loving it! So am I! #didnotrealiseahmaisthatobsessedwithme
