Remember this? As promised, Pecan finally got her very own customised cartoon version done. In case you are wondering, Mummy ordered both from the same Etsy store. Thank you Kari (PopDoggie) for the great cartoon caricature!! Too cute isn’t it? We are still waiting for the actual copy to arrive and Mummy even ordered magnets along with it too!! Cannot wait to see them!
The simple joys in life do not always cost a lot. While it’s undeniable that Mummy does spend ALOT on pampering us (and she can get brand cautious at times), not all our toys cost a bomb. Following her ikea toy spree, Mummy brought home yet another cheap find from Tai Sing today – stuffed ball toys!!! She bought a total of six balls for just $4.90! That’s less than a dollar each! Actually, these toys are meant for kids. It wasn’t too much of a concern as what is safe for young children should be more or less safe for us. Besides, Mummy kept a close eye to prevent Sam, the toy destroyer us for spoiling them prematurely. NEW TOYS!!! Best of all, each toy comes with a bell and that just drove us crazy~~ Hence, playing fetch with it was awesome! We had our own, until Pecan decided that mine was better. Boooo~ so I had no choice but to swap with her. Nonetheless, we were of course, all smiles! Thanks Mummy for the …
We absolutely adore the occasional few days that Mummy allows us to tag along to her office. Each time we are there, we will certainly try to make ourselves useful. I’m a regular there and almost everyone in the office squeals in delight when they see me. How not to when I’m this cute. Sigh~ Pecan’s still kinda new but with her lovely human-friendly nature, she very quickly collected a fan base! (Mine still bigger la) Here’s what we do at work with Mummy! Play hide-and-seek! Thanks my mom-in-law for entertaining me. I heart Jager. Laze on people’s laps. Occasionally thanking them with a stinky fart or two, depending on what I ate the night before. The place where I’ve casted the most bombs had to be on Auntie JY’s desk. Hohoho And hiding in cupboards. As for Pecan, she still isn’t terribly comfortable with the office, hence, she pretty much just sits around either with Mummy or Auntie Lynne. And when we are tired, we retreat to our makeshift respite corner for a snooze. …
While most days I sigh at the loss of my only child status, there are times when I’m really glad that Pecan’s in our family. And today is one of them!!! Cuz Mummy made us dehydrated chicken treats! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee…. (Mummy enjoys making things for us, just that a lot of it goes to waste in the past as she doesn’t quite want me to finish everything and become too fat. Boo. Now there’s Pecan to share the yummy food!) Tadah~ Waiting to eat… Stupid Mummy tempting us… Arggggggh… As both of us are able to offer Mummy extremely firm sits on most days, she decided to up the ante and requested for ‘Paw’ instead. Here. And of course, we got what we deserved! It was so delicious that we finished it immediately. More more more…
A package arrived for Mummy today. As usual, I get the first sniff. Wondering what was it in? Ta-dah~ My very own… FRIDGE MAGNETS by Pop Doggie. Mummy previously customised a portrait of me . Fedup with the lack of nice magnets, she decided to head back to the etsy store and using the same image, create magnets of me! A close up. Awesome isn’t it? And to feed Mummy’s recent obsession with cats, she decided to get a kitty magnet too! Pecan ah ma seems to really like them and was a little disappointed that there were none of hers. But guess what, I heard Mummy mentioning to Daddy that she’s gonna get a portrait of Pecan done too! (Well, before Daddy could comment, Mummy walked away. And he let out a resigned sigh. HAHAHAHAHAH) Good for you ah ma~! Meanwhile, can you spot the magnets? PS: Please ignore the expiry dates. The items were long gone. And yes, Mummy is that lazy. Mummy made five and is planning to give both sides of …
Is it time for our walk?? Mummy’s Note: *Shrugs* How to say no to these faces? Sigh~ #dogservant
Hahahahahahhaha… Pecan got bread-ed! Unfortunately for her, being a JRT, she got blended into the wholemeal bread as well, just like me! Wahahahahahhaha…. Welcome to the family, Pecan. Who do you think make a better bread? Me me me!!
Inspired by Pecan’s horrid breath, Mummy wanted to make some treats that can help combat the odour. And when she came home today with a bag of ingredients, we started to get pretty excited. Can’t help but wonder what Mummy had up her sleeves. As Mummy did not have her recipe books on hand, she simply googled Parsley treats for dogs and settled on the very first recipe she found! PS: Parsley is great for managing bad breath in dogs! Let’s get started! Here’s what she used: – Oats, Multi-purpose floor, cheddar cheese, carrots and of course, the star of the evening – Parsley. Mummy also found some silicon trays (two from Amazon and the others from Giant) that she could use to bake the cookies in. (Oh ya, Mummy used chicken stock instead of lactose-free milk) Being the senior, I was well aware of the baking procedure and was ready to go take a nap while waiting. But silly Pecan, being new and overly enthusiastic, decided to offer Mummy some help. Thankfully Mummy declined …
One other reason why we get along so fine, is that we are really respectful of each other’s space. Especially so when we are eating our own treats. It normally starts with Mummy requesting a firm sit (Pecan always cheats!) from us. After meeting her low expectations, we will be rewarded with a chew treat each. Then, we both scamper to our spots in the house! *pitter patter* Being the ‘senior’ (in terms of number of years in the household), of course I get the bigger bed. Pecan isn’t that much worse off as she settles for the most comfortable dog bed at home. After which, we mind our own business and chew our own food. Being half my size, Pecan is also a slow eater. Even though we started at the same time, I was done in less than 10 minutes (I win!!) while she was only 10% done. Zzzzzz So what I do after that? I eye on Pecan’s treat…. #Samthehawk Before being shoo-ed away by mummy. Boooo~ So smart little Sammy Loo …
Who says that expensive toys are the best? Actually, cheap stuffies can be just as much fun! On a recent trip to Ikea, Mummy scooped up some soft toys (these were originally meant for human kids) for me! Hooray!!! Cheap, they are. Lousy, they are NOT! In fact, I’m loving them!! Introducing Blue, the long dog. shhh, (whispers) I know he looks funny. Don’t tell him cos that will upset him! This is Polar Beary. Hee, this silly bear thinks that my off-white coat is snow! Maybe that’s why he kept wanting to rest on my back. This is Snakie! He prefers to rest on the top of my hand. But personally, I prefer him in my mouth. *Nom nom nom* And my favourite of the lot (partly because it is the biggest too): Ratatouille! Catching (during a game of fetch) him is extremely satisfying. Well, my ancestors were afterall bred to hunt rats (though I’ve to admit that I’ve close to zero natural instincts left in my blood. haizzz). Nonetheless, the joy I get from …
