Our very own event – A White Christmas Party

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Our very own ‘A White Christmas’ party was a wrap!  #itwrappedupdamnlongagolor #justthatourmummyistoolazytoposttillnow #tsktsktsk Not only did we have tons of fun organising this event with @vanillapup, @somewhitecookie and @iscreambailey, we were extremely pleased with how it turned out! #welldonedogslaves #thedogsjustlookcuteandeatonly #ofcoursethehumansdidallthework Mummy was too busy running around that she didn’t get a chance to take any decent photos. Hence, there isn’t a single pic of me at the party. #howcanlikethat #iamthehostandthereisnophotoofme (Also cos I was busy begging for food la) #tablehopping #Iisabusydoghor Thanks to @mangothesheltie, Cookie’s mummy and Latte’s mummy for letting us use their photos for this post!

Work-in-Progress

Kudos to Mummy for finally creating our very own Facebook page! #waituntilnecklonglongliao #pleasegiveusyoursupportwor Now that it is off our to-do list. The next thing inefficient mummy  we have to get around doing… is.. giving our blog a fresh look!  Unfortunately, Mummy is no where close to being an expert in this field. Le Sigh~ #peopletakefiveminutesshetakesfivehours  So, please bear with us as we work on refreshing the blog!

Twelve Nights…

is how long a dog in a Taiwanese shelter has to find a home before he gets put down.  It’s also the title of a documentary directed by Raye and produced by Giddens Ko (九把刀) and Sophia Sui (隋棠). Twelve Nights (十二夜) follows the fates of dogs from the day they are captured and placed in a shelter to the 12th day. While a handful will go on to find a forever home, more often than not, these dogs succumbed to either illnesses that are widespread in the shelter or to the deadline that man has placed upon them. Mummy knew that the film wasn’t going to be an easy watch (she is a crybaby whenever it comes to animal-related stuff), but wanted to catch it anyway. So, she bought a copy and had it mailed over to us. When it finally arrived, Mummy explained the storyline of the movie to us. She was a little undecided if she wanted us to watch it with her as there was a chance that we might be uncomfortable with …

Ah ma’s obsession…

has grown! Seeing how fond of squeaky toys Pecan ah ma is, Mummy just couldn’t stop adding more to the collection. And the newest member of ah ma’s gang of BFFs is… the Hartz Dura Play Bone! Of course ah ma loves it. Not only is it new, the size is just right for her smelly mouth! No thanks to Mummy for indulging in her love for squeaky toys, Pecan has developed a new pastime. First, she leaves her squeaky friends everywhere around the house.  Then, she walks around looking for them, before stepping on them (she treats her friends horribly!) to hear them squeak.  She would repeat the above actions till she finds her flavor of the day.  After which, she would proceed to carry it for god-knows-how long.  No surprises who’s her favorite today. And of course, she has to bring it to bed with her. LE SIGH~ #takeupspaceonly I’m really wishing Mummy would stop indulging in ah ma’s weird obsession and spend the money on treats to fill my little tummy. Fingers …

Ah ma’s recovery

When Mummy first adopted Pecan, this crazy feisty ah ma’s energy was higher than mine. She even did better than me on her health checkup and blood test. (I failed my blood test twice due to high protein levels, aka eat too much.) For a while, Mummy thought that she adopted a ten-month-old rascal and not a decade old granny. Seeing how healthy and hyper ah ma is, I was quite resigned that I will be stuck with her for a long long time. (NOoooooooo) The only problem was that she was not sterilized. After taking ah ma’s age into consideration (plus, I’m neutered), Mummy decided to let it be and not let ah ma undergo the surgery for that. Little did she know that this will come back to haunt her.  *Den den den den* (Movie dramatic entrance) Basically, Mummy noticed that ah ma’s vulva was exceptionally swollen. While she thought that ah ma was in heat when we first got her, it remained swollen even after six months. Sensing that something was not …

Pecan’s little quirks….

We usually try to keep our blog posts light-hearted and cheery.  I mean, that’s pretty much how our lives are. But occasionally, there will be certain dog-related encounters that pisses Mummy off (but again, a lot of things pisses that lady off.) and get her really upset. One such incident happened during our night walk today and we just felt the need to mention it here…. For those who have met me and Mummy at doggy events (Thanks for saying hi!!!), one of the most common questions I get is: “Where’s Pecan ah ma?” Don’t let her cute (PUI~) little face deceive you.  Unlike me, Pecan ah ma is actually not dog-friendly, at all. While she is the sweetest little thing to humans (even to annoying kids), she cannot handle the sight of another dog.  Things weren’t easy from the start. Since bringing ah ma home with us, Mummy and Daddy had to deal with the endless little squabbles that happened between us which usually ended with me screaming like a girl. We fought at …
