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 …
Mummy did something really awesome for us for my birthday this year!! For once, the planning started early! A week before the big day, she sent this lovely photo to the very awesome Pawlicious Pet Bakery! We had no idea what was baking until Mummy came home with this surprise… OUR VERY OWN BIRTHDAY CAKE! How precious is this?! This is no doubt the best cake ever, especially since my last three cakes were blah! (I actually had an ugly pink one for my second birthday cos she was so last minute. Like seriously~ ) Mummy chose beef as the flavour of the cake and also paid a little more for the lovely bone biscuits around it. Of course we were over the moon! THANK YOU MUMMY AND DADDY! How not to when the figurines are such close resemblance! Pecan with lil’pecan! Hehe, I think the figurine flatters her a fair bit. Maybe that’s how she looked as a pup. Sam with lil’Sam! Kudos for making me so slim! Somemore same size as Pecan ah …
Something’s cooking this weekend and we are on cloud nine just thinking about it!! Can’t wait to reveal what it is… Hint: I’m turning one, two, three.. FOUR!! while Pecan’s turning one, two, three…. eight, nine..TEN!
This is our pissed off face after we have a bath. And of course, stupid mummy thinks it’s funny. boooo~
We are not from the same litter. In fact, we are six years and half a globe apart (I’m American-Born-Chinese-Dog while Pecan’s a true-blue Singaporean). Yet, our sibling resemblance is so strong that there’s no denying that we are both from the Loo-Lim household. How? We bunny hop the same way! We bark the same way. Our ears (and tongues) fly the same way. We fetch the same way. (By fighting for the same toy..shhh) Last but not least.. we smile the same way. How can we not be siblings?!
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. …
Mummy bought Pecan ah ma her very own Buddy Rider. (Oh wait, Daddy just told me that he paid for it. Oops) And when it arrived, we got to try it out! The logistics behind getting the foldable bikes, the Buddy Riders and two adorable dogs safely to the east side of the country was unbelievably challenging. My parents spent an hour in the morning pumping air into the bikes’ tyres (while me and ah ma chillax by the side). Ten minutes went to transporting the bikes down and another 20 figuring how to load everything into the car. We were so behind schedule by the time we started! After some unloading and assembling, we finally got buckled in! I was all comfortable and ready to jet off. Pecan was a tad bit uncertain and took a while getting used to it. Pecan still a little hesitant. After a quick pep talk from me, she was all excited to go! And off we went~ I followed Mummy while Daddy took Pecan. The lovely breeze …
We had a blast this weekend doing what we do best – chasing waves!!! My awesome parents brought us to East Coast Park for lunch, some beach-time and cycling! Pecan is a natural bikini ah ma! The moment my parents dropped our leashes, off she went, crashing into waves (barking at them as well) and running along the shoreline! Of course, I cannot lose la and did exactly the same! After having some ‘shiok’ run-free time, we got into a game of tag! First, I got to chase Pecan. Aiya~ no kick and I caught her easily! Tag! You’re it! Too bad for Pecan, she wasn’t quite my opponent and just couldn’t catch up! Nay-nay-nay-boo-boo~ *Smug look* We eventually grew tired of the game and decided to just enjoy the waves and the beach! It was the best thing ever. Except for one tiny winy complaint – the water tasted disgusting!! And ah ma was so mean when I tried to bitch about it. BOoo~ We were really disappointed that we had to leave …
This is how a normal weekend goes… We wake up to awesome massages, compliments of Daddy. Used to be better, but with Pecan’s demands to be met, I’ve to say that the standard has fallen. Tsk tsk tsk. We put on our best begging face while Mummy enjoys her TV lunch. I surrender to the boss of the household to get on her good boots for the week. We get ferried off to somewhere exciting. To the swimming pool for our weekly swim to be exact. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee~ Reach home and crash. Wake up and have a quick playtime. Eat our dinner. Finish it quickly Then, put on our begging face AGAIN while our parents have theirs. Weekends are the best!
