Our weekend treat – Junk food

It’s time for our weekend treat again!!!  Wheeeeeeee~ This week, Mummy got really really lazy and decided to buy something off the shelf.  Being a sucky for dog-related stuff, Mummy couldn’t resist buying these while at Cold Storage.  At first glance, Mummy knew that these probably won’t be any good quality treats. But she was bought over by the bowls and decided that they were worth the money anyway. #mymummyisasucker I got first pick!  So of course, I’m gonna take ORANGE! Since it is my colour after all. Plus, it’s cheese flavoured! How to say no. Pecan ah ma looking pleased with her green bowl! Plus it’s peanut butter!! Yumz. I couldn’t wait any longer and headed straight for the treats the moment Mummy opened it.  She ended up having to pull me away. “Noooo..it’s mine!!”   Enticing isn’t it? They looked great!  Pecan ah ma agrees man. Check out her drool! Tsk tsk tsk So un-ladylike. Unfortunately, a closer look at the packaging showed that these yummy treats were made using fillers that are …

Must love Jacks…

Every time someone asks Mummy about why she decided on Jack Russells out of the many breeds, she would let out a resigned sigh, take a deep breath and express regret. Then, she would start ranting about our countless antics, e.g. too hyper, feisty, small-dog-syndrome, blah blah blah.  What la~ So not fair right? JRTs are the best breed ever lor.  So to our defense, let me and Pecan ah ma tell you what an awesome breed we are. To begin with, we are super intelligent. So smart so that we can do things on command. Mummy: “Smile Sam~” Sam: “Ay ay~” We can even nod in agreement with your philosophical views. We have the best begging faces. So please don’t bother saying no to us. Wahahahhaha.. We live life and know the best ways to distress. Such as by having a drink or two. (FYI, I’m legal k. I’m four doggie years old, which equates to 28 in human years!) OR  simply sleeping our lives away on our nice cushion… though we secretly prefer …

Made with Love – Bento for Dogs!

We were a little doubtful when Mummy offered to make us dinner. I mean, how not to after the traumatic incident of the jelly. The Apple Jelly ended up okay, but its appearance was an appetite killer.  Hence, we were a little wary about what to expect. But we did what she told us and collected our bento boxes and handed them to her.  The truth was… she is after all the hand that feeds us, so we LL (no other choice). We did feel a little bad when we realized how much effort Mummy went into planning this. Mummy, being a Daiso Auntie, actually went on a shopping spree just to purchase useless items to decorate our bento.  (Okay, now, we are seriously getting a little worried…) Just when we were becoming increasingly uncomfortable about Mummy’s dinner proposition, we discovered a faint light at the end of the tunnel.  And it came in the form of three lovely ladies!  Yap, Mummy’s awesome colleagues (including my beloved Mother-in-law) actually swung by to give Mummy a hand. …

Apple Jelly for dogs!

We know something was cooking when Mummy started cutting apples into cubes in the kitchen! Plus, she also took out her sam-sized cooking pot.  And we were right! Guess what’s on the menu…. It’s… APPLE JELLY FOR DOGS! Wheeeeeee~ You are probably wondering where she got the inspiration from… Mummy bought a dog jelly mould donkey years ago from Amazon (Most likely because she needed items to hit the minimum USD125 for free shipping). After it had collected dust for a good few months, she decided to finally put it into good use. (And we are not complaining!) (Source) A quick google and Mummy realized that there really isn’t any simple recipes for jellies for dogs. Hence, she decided to come up with one herself using whatever she could find in the kitchen. She used chicken stock, apples and gelatin.  Simple as that.  And it looks promising too! We were so excited to get started on our dessert till the horrid news struck. Yap, we had to leave it in the chiller overnight. #Notimpressed After …

Jacks in a basket

Running out of ideas for birthday/get-well-soon/congratulatory presents? Why not get a Jack-in-a-basket then? Not only is it packed with tons of cuteness and love, it is guaranteed to bring a smile on the face of your loved one. Instantly. Choose between a PEE-KEE-PIE HAMPER Lightweight and compact, it comes with a treat-powered tail that wags 24/7 and on command.  Simply say “PECAN” (in the most excited voice you can squeeze out of your throat) and you will send that little stub wagging for as long as you stare at her, with a smile of course. Great for kids, families and even the elderly. WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM OTHER DOGS Or a.. SAM-MO-MO HAMPER This is an absolute “value for your money” purchase (all 7.8kg of it comes at a fixed price). Adorable and shameless, he will beg endlessly for tummy rubs by laying on his back, anywhere and anytime. He will even do his repertoire of up to 10 tricks with just a treat in your hand without a single command required. Simply show it …

ROARRRRR

Since it’s crunch time at work (it happens once every two months), Mummy’s suffering from a mental block for things for me to blog about. She was scooping around the house looking for some inspiration when she came across her favorite lion mane wig.  *Horrified look* Nooooo…..  But since I’ve already posed with it, there’s nothing novel about me wearing in. Hee, so no surprises who had to take the fall to entertain Mummy… Yaps, introducing Pee-Kee the Lion! RAwrrrr Lucky for Mummy, Pee-Kee is one happy lion! All smiles and pleased with her new hairdo. Then of course, stupid Mummy just had to do a comparison shot. Yap. My life sucks. Sammo the grumpy lion. To be honest, I think Sammo the grumpy lion is wayyy more convincing than Pee-kee.  Check this out man! I was quite surprised that I looked so…’lion’ here. Must be those slit eyes. LOL Anyway, Mummy convinced me that if I put on a smile I would get some treats.  So I squeezed out one just for the treats …

Pinku-chan the Octopus

Auntie JY bought us a new toy from Ju-be a few weeks ago! We decided to name it Pinku-chan! And yap, she’s a hand-knitted Octopus, made of toxic-free wool. We likey~  “Oh.. you mean Pinku is not my dinner?” Dang~ When I realized Pinku-chan was no calamari, I’ve to admit that I was a little disappointed. But thankfully Pinku-chan is really sporting and fun to play with. One of our favorite games is balancing her on our foreheads!! Pinku-chan also enjoys riding on me! Pecan ah ma is too wriggly for her.  Plus, my fat sturdy body is also great for Pinku-chan to rest on! We had a ball chasing her around the house.  It’s a pity that she is a little fragile and Mummy has to keep it away at times to prevent us for pulling a leg or two out. Thanks Auntie JY for our new toy pet!!

Our Yoghurt beards..

Mummy had some leftover yoghurt and she decided to give us some. It was the best thing EVER!! We licked and licked and licked and licked… so much so that we actually ended up with… YOGHURT BEARDS! After wayy too soon, we had licked the cup sparkingly clean. We really couldn’t be bothered with what Mummy was laughing non-stop at. (Crazy woman) We just wanted more yoghurt! We did what we do best: put on our begging puppy eyes.  We even added some lip-smacking actions to up our begging powers. After way too long, (and our crazy mummy still laughing) I came to realise that there was nothing left. Booooooooo~ Pecan ah ma naively continued trying (she tried really hard too) and me, well, just my usual pissed off face. “Why you buy so little?!” Booooo~ WE WANT MORE YOGHURT!!!

Sam and Pecan’s very own Toyota Rush!

Remember we mentioned something exciting about our new ride? Guess what, yes, we finally have our very own personalized doggie car!  Well, actually, we have had it for about one month now. It’s just that our lazy Mummy has been really slow in updating this.  *Tsk tsk tsk* Anyway, introducing… Gin! Gin is a 2007 Toyota Rush! Being rather tight on budget, our parents settled for a preloved car (We are his third and last owner). While silver isn’t exactly the color of Mummy’s choice, beggars can’t be choosers ma. There weren’t any white ones around, so here we got stuck with Gin! But again, me and Pecan ah ma really don’t give a shit care as long as there is something to bring us places. Our parents initially wanted a Honda Jazz/Fit. But came to realize that it isn’t exactly value for money.  Instead, they settled for Gin for one simple reason. THIS. The backseats fold up all the way to create a huge ‘playpen’ at the back. So effectively, Gin transforms to a …

Groomed!

I was still wondering if there was any special occasion today as we started the day a little differently.  Our usual weekday morning routine includes Mummy dragging herself out of the bed. Then she drags me out of bed. She brings us for a quick pee and loads us into the car. She’ll then drive to Grandmummy’s place, drop us off and head to work. And we will spend the rest of the day rotting away. But it was different today.  First, we got to sleep in late. Then, Mummy brought us for a nice long walk in the morning. We came back for a yummy brekkie and Mummy even gave us some of her sausage bun. And, the best part of all, we went swimming~  Wheeeeee~ All on a weekday! Of course, just when I was wondering if it is my birthday again or something like that, I started to realize what was going on. Yap, a grooming session that is. I’m not a big fan of grooming.  And thankfully, it happens only once …
