Mid-Autumn treats for SAM – Dog mooncakes!

Published by

Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner! Being American and having lived in NYC for a good part of my life, I know nuts about this occasion.  Plus, why bother.  Till I realise that….when humans celebrate this day, they do so by enjoying mooncakes. And guess what, apparently there are doggy versions of this festive treat as well! *Wriggly dance* Introducing Mooncakes for Dogs, by Pawlicious Bakery! (source) When Mummy saw this, she knew she had to get it.. FOR ME! With Daddy’s pocket (each cost $5.50) and my waistline in mind, she decided to get just three flavours.  The cute dog mooncakes look every bit like the ones mummy eats!  And I can’t wait to begin! Pardon my ‘stone’ face. It’s just that I’m dead tired after a good afternoon swim and Mummy kept insisting on taking pictures before I could start eating. zzzzz I want to eat them and go to sleep.  Hurry~ As three at a go is a tad bit much for a little dog like me, we decided to start …

I’m a H&M Dog!

Published by

During one of the shoots for the Aug/Sep issue, Mummy fell in love with a H&M silk Beagle print handkerchief that was used as a bandana for one of the pups. (Under the influence of Uncle Bryan!) And she knew she had to have it… for me, of course.  (source: pets Magazine) It took a while before it finally hit the stores. Well, STORE technically as it’s only available at H&M Orchard (under the men’s section). When I got my paws on the scarf, I was a bit lost. I mean, I don’t usually blow my nose or sneeze into a hankie.  So what is this for? *confused* So I did the worst thing I could possibly have done by asking Mummy what it was for. Seeing that I didn’t realise that it was to be used as a bandana, she decided to pull a prank on me and made me wear it as a head scarf..  I HATE YOU!!!!! Grrrrr~ Now I look like the granny/auntie below. *curses under his breath* !@#!@$@!%@#% (source) To make …

My Triangle Travel Quilt!

Published by

You know your mother is crazy obsessed..erm.. I mean selfless when she buys a present for you for her birthday!  Ho ho ho … After eyeing at this item for close to two months since she first saw in on Pretty Fluffy, Mummy finally took the plunge on this very purchase. It’s her birthday present to herself, or so she says… (I’m quite sure Daddy footed the credit card bill.. shhhhh)  Who cares, since I’m the one to benefit. *GRINZ* And..word has it that  (*puts on a fake british accent) this lovely package came from the land my breed originated – Yap, you guessed it right, this was fresh from…ENGLAND! OPEN IT! Wondering what it is? Huh?!  That’s it?! I can barely fit…. (Yet another sign it’s time to lose weight…dang~) Nay…just kidding.. Introducing my Triangle Travel Quilt by East End Best Friend!! Designed and hand-made in Hackney, East London, this gorgeous quilted travel mat is just the right thing for a hip little terrier like me! Best of all, the quilt is actually machine-washable! Certainly a god-send …

Sam, the bad hair day lion!

Published by

ROARRRRRRRRRR… I’m Sam, the Bad Hair Day Lion!! I’m gonna eat you up!! Hm, my new mane got me thinking.  You think the Singapore Zoo will hire me as a lion substitute? Well, China Zoo did it… maybe they will. Shall send my resume tomorrow… Meanwhile… ROARRRRR…. Mummy’s note: I got Sam his lion mane wig at a pets seminar from Cat Welfare Society.  Not the cheapest thing around, nor the wisest purchase… but it sure entertained the hell out of me and it’s for a good cause (some part of the proceeds goes to helping cats)!  So, yet another win-win situation! And I love how the little rascal displays a sense of self-importance each time I put it on him. Maybe he really believes he’s a lion.

The Green Mini Interactive Feeder!

Published by

Mummy brought home an interesting product recently.  I was quite fascinated by it and couldn’t quite figure out what it was exactly. It’s a toy… NO! it’s a bowl… NO! It’s a……  Green Mini Interactive Feeder! This specially designed feeder is shaped just like at tuft of grass (it consists of 32 grass-like blades). Besides acting as obstacles to prolong eating time, they make access to food complicated, making it challenging and possibly more interesting for the eater. I’m far from being a fast eater. While I gobble down treats like they are the best things on earth (wait, they are!), I approach my kibbles with a lot LESS enthusiasm. In fact, it’s always a struggle to get me to start eating, let alone get me to finish my food. Hence, Mummy thought that this would be a great toy to get me slightly more interested in my food since it will make my mealtime a fun and enjoyable activity! I’ve to admit that I was quite intrigued by it and couldn’t wait to test …

Shhhh.. Hear Doggy!

Published by

(Yet) Another awesome perk of Mummy’s internship (besides my free exposure on pets magazine) is that she is able to get her hands on new innovative toys!  So, on one lovely evening, Mummy came home with a grin. She came up to me and told me that she bought me a new toy! Of course, from the corner of my eye, I could see Daddy giving the “not again” face. Too bad for you, Daddy and goooooood for me! I was pretty excited to see what Mummy got for me. Presenting the surprise – a Hear Doggy! squeaky stuffy! I was uber excited about the starfish stuffy and could not wait to sink my teeth in it! I was 100% focused on my new mission in life – attack the starfish while it cries squeaks for mercy, kill the squeaker and remove all its stuffing!! RAWR…  Before I could even begin, I felt that there was something different about this squeaky toy.  In the past, each time Mummy squeezes the toy to squeak it, Daddy …

More from Amazon…

Part II of the Amazon Parcel finally arrived!  I was uber excited to check out what’s in it! Anxiously waiting.. When mummy finally opened it, I couldn’t wait to start sniffing out the contents! The first two items unveiled were disappointing, both to me and Mummy. I mean, I really don’t see why I would need yet another leash and collar (In the corner of my eyes, I see Daddy nodding away as I’m typing this sentence). To Mummy, the colours of the actual items weren’t quite what she was expecting. Based on the images on Amazon, she thought them to be of a more pastel orange, rather than neon orange. Hence, she was a little disappointed. A pity we are half way round the globe and returns are gonna cost more than the items are worth so we are both stuck with these. Boo~ Introducing the Lupine Dog Lead and Lupine Combo Dog Collar. On a side note, Mummy bought this collar as she wanted to get a martingale collar to replace my existing …

Sam, the model….

Published by

I haven’t really mentioned this, but mummy’s new internship is just awesome. Though it’s a temporary stint, mummy is enjoying every moment and loving it!  While she’s getting paid peanuts, the perks of her job more than made up for that.  One huge perk of mummy’s job is…  I get to be a pet model for Pets Magazine! Check out my debut! Hey~ Good Looking~ Sigh, I’m a natural! Haha. Okay, just kidding. The shoot was a lot of fun and I got to lick tons of yummy things!  Can’t wait for my next modeling job. (If any.. LOL) If you’re in Singapore, go grab a copy today!

Steak and Eggs Please?

Published by

We had an exciting weekend planned. However, looking out of the window immediately after waking up, I came to realise that was no way we weren’t gonna step outside at all (Toilet breaks aside). BOO to the haze. Disappointed, I lazed in bed sulking.  Mummy popped her head in and saw that I was really upset.  Hence, she did what awesome mummies do – she asked me what I wanted for breakfast! Sam: *Thinks hard* …. “STEAK & EGGS!” Mummy: “Ay ay Captain!”  Luckily for me, there were some frozen steak in the freezer! *Wriggly dance* Within minutes from my request, the cooked beef aroma filled the house and I swore I could not stop drooling.  This easy dish was done in less than ten minutes and my frown was at once transformed into a huge smile! “Pretty please.. can I start?” As soon as it began, there was almost nothing left and yes, I licked the bowl smacking clean once again. The yummy steak & eggs breakfast certainly drove the ‘haze blues’ out of …
