Quickie Art and Craft

Published by

Jack Russell Mania (JRM) is turning 13 this July. #cannotbelievegotthingsolderthantheancientpecan To get us ready for the exciting celebrations, Mummy ordered two JRM bandanas just for us. #ithinkiwearitbetterthanher #shhhhhdonttellherIsaidthat Okay okay, I think we both look pretty cool in it.  However, once we take it off, we won’t able to differentiate which belong to who.  #ifIwearwronghow #hersissmellyleh #cosshesuredroolonit  So, we attempted to mark our own bandanas with our own saliva. #spotourlittletongues #howhygienichor Thankfully the crafty (pun intended) Mummy had something up her sleeves. It was a real quick fix.  All she used were Martha Stewart stencils, satin paint, a sponge brush and a plastic container. And viola~ our very own customised bandanas. Not only does it look (and smell) good, it took Mummy less than five minutes.  #quickieartandcraft Doing an arty farty shot with them.  #showingoff #cannotissit Now people will know who we are when we attend the upcoming celebrations. We sure can’t wait! If you’re a JRT just like us, do join us for JRM’s 13th birthday! Click here for more information.

Paw Pet-radise is BACK!!

Published by

Our little fragile hearts died a little the day we learnt that Paw Pet-radise was closing. Afterall, it was one of the first few pet cafes I went to.  In fact, it took Pecan’s virginity (of pet cafe visits la) too lor. #okaythatsoundsgross #tryingtobedramamama We probably cramped in like… three visits in it’s last month of operation. #machiamendoftheworldlor But but but…. You know what…. apparently, Mummy told us that Paw Pet-radise has reopened! WHEEEEEEEEEE! #wrigglydance  We couldn’t wait to get our little paws there! #sokiasuthatwewentduringthesoftopeningweek Although it is still located at it’s original location (at Balestier), it got a little facelift! The most noticeable difference, is the introduction of a solid partition at the entrance. Say bye-bye to the flimsy gate! No more greeting the new dog via a fence. #yespecanwearelookingatyou Not to mention that this is certainly more secured. Gone are the large sofas as well! With that outta way, there is more space for the dogs to wrestle and play. Our parents did comment that the new furniture isn’t as comfortable though. But …

Keeping us busy

Published by

We know how pesky Jack Russells can be. #wearenotcalledjackrussellterrorsfornothing It is a constant fight for Mummy to keep us out of trouble.  Despite weekly swims and multiple walks daily, we do still give Mummy dirty looks to express our boredom once in a while. #entertainusorelse #thedeathstare #yeswearejudgingyou That being said, combating our boredom is no easy feat. In fact, it’s a major headache for Mummy.   Pecan and I are polar opposite.  I am really smart. And I mean REALLY smart. WAHHAHAHAHAH #whosaysselfpraiseisnopraise #itisthehighestofpraisesk Give me a treat toy and I can figure it out in seconds. #worsecometoworsejustusebrutestrengthlor #nothingmyjawscannotdefeat On the other hand, Pecan ah ma is…let’s just say slow. #stupidisstupidla  Unlike me, she doesn’t have the intellect (I mean) patience to overcome treat toys. So while most toys work for me, they don’t do the same for her. Toys that work for her, are like a yawn for me man. Hence, it is a challenge for Mummy to find toys that can keep both of us occupied.  But Mummy being Mummy (someone who is extremely obsessed …

Dog-friendly Smoothie

Published by

We’re dying from the heat. #whysohot #twodeaddogslyingonthefloor After seeing how lethargic we are, she decided to whip up some smoothie! #mummyisdabest #weapprove #tonguesofapproval Our dog-friendly Mango-Strawberry Smoothie! Here’s what we need: One whole mango (cut into cubes and toss the pit away) A box of strawberry (Freeze it overnight to make the smoothie ice-cold when served) A cup of plain yoghurt One teaspoon of honey (optional, especially if your mango isn’t ripe enough) Did you know? Mangoes are actually good for dogs (source)! But be careful to keep the pit away from us and feed in moderation. #yummyfoodthatisdogfriendlyisdabest What to do: Simply toss everything into a blender and blend blend BLEND. #easybreezy Giving the sniff test. #pecandoesnotcare #shejustwantstodrink #samthefaketastetester Off we went! Yumz! #mustlickeverysingledrop #pecanapprove We absolutely love it.  And unfortunately, so does Mummy #ourmotherstealourfoodagain #ourlifesucks Oh well, at least it did wonders to cool us down in the nasty heat. Hope it does the same for you too!

The Honest Kitchen Treats

Published by

So our fish craving is back and we just couldn’t resist checking our Fuzzyard pet fish, Sushi, out.  Not in a good way in case you’re wondering. #nowondermummynowanttogetusapethamster #nopetissafeinthishousehold Of course, Sushi was pretty much sweating it out. #hownottopanicwhenyouhavetwohungrydogsstaringatyou And as usual, our dearest Mummy came to his (and our tummies’) rescue by announcing that she has delectable fish treats for us. Wheeeeeeeeeee…. #mummyisdabest Okay la, we shall leave you alone Sushi….for now. HEHEHEHEEHHEEH What she didn’t mention, however, was that I had to put on the hideous fish head for the shoot. Like wt…. #grumpysam #mylifesucks #itsnotthatthetreatsnonice #itsjustthatmymothersucks #mummyisdaworst #allpissyfacepost Anyway, my shitty fate aside, Mummy actually got us yummy The Honest Kitchen fish treats!  Besides the fact that they are made using all-natural ingredients (in fact, they are single ingredient treats), they are free of artificial additives, flavour enhances and colouring. Most importantly, they are also low in calories. #sammytummytotallyapprove These treats are definitely a great choice for pets with sensitive stomach or food allergies and of course, pudgy little pooches. DISCLAIMER: MY …

If jacks can fly…

they will look like this. #ahmahassuperpowers #howcomeIdonthave #shejustneedacape Flying through the crowd… And of course, nothing is more important than flashing a million dollar smile as you zoom by. How I wish I can fly. Le Sigh.

Barking Good: Pee-Can-Bites

Published by

Anyway, some of you may know that our dearest Pecan ah ma went for a dental scaling recently.  We knew that Pecan ah ma’s scaling was due. But Mummy was rather hesitant as she really did not want to put Pecan under anaesthesia if possible. However, after consulting with as many as four different vets, Mummy got the consensus that the procedure was a necessity. Oh well~  So in ah ma went. (And out went $1.2k from Daddy’s pocket!) Pecan isn’t the most cooperative pooch at the vet (she’s a pain like me!).  #likebrotherlikesister #cannotletthevetbullyuslor So during the initial consultation, Mummy was told that at least three teeth needed to be extracted. There might be more, just that the vet couldn’t tell as of then. But what Mummy didn’t expect was that these many teeth had to go…. YAP, they all belonged to Pecan. #toothfairyisgonnabebroke In case you’re wondering how many came out…. Mummy wanted to keep them, so the vet obliged and packed it for us.  #weirdsouvenirs #cankeepiscankeepjustnotonpecan While Pecan’s bad breath is finally …

Car Safety 101

Published by

Okay la, this isn’t exactly Car Safety 101.  Mummy recently made some changes to the way we travel in the car and guess what…  we’re absolutely loving it! This was how we used to ride – shotgun.  And we absolutely loved it, even though our combined weight always triggers the annoying seatbelt warning beep.  Hehehehe… #inotfat #Iisbigboned #itispecan’sfault Best part of car rides then, was when we got to peep out and enjoy a nice breeze. Sam: “The guy is eating an ice-cream!!!” Pecan: “Where? Where?” But things ain’t the same in the Loo Lim Household anymore. #boohoohoo It started with a convo between Mummy and Auntie Kristina (Pecan’s trainer). Auntie Kristina was sharing about how a car seat restraint for her dog possibly saved his life when she got into an accident with him in the car.  And that got Mummy thinking.  In addition, Mummy always judges people who let their kids (especially toddlers and infants) sit on their laps, instead of on child seats. #thatgrindshergears Of course, she would quietly remind herself that …

A Dear Deer Party!

Published by

We’re extremely lucky that Auntie Pauline from Howlistic Life has very generously offered to sponsor our little tummies with food and treats! #weneversaynotofood YEAH! After all, we have been long term fans of the many products that her company carries. *wriggly dance* When she sent some of the goodies over, we were over the moon and just had to whip out our party hats and CELEBRATE~~ woohoo~ YAP, WE’RE HAVING A DEAR DEER PARTY! #seeingsomanytreatsmakeusuberhigh We had always been fans of Dear Deer treats!  I mean…look at them!  How to say no?! This was seriously how happy we looked all day while Mummy was busy styling the treats. #happyuntilourmouthscannotclose Here are some reasons why we are such huge fans. #yapmummyiscrazyenoughtocreateaninfographicsforthis #shehastoomuchtimeonherhands Here’s what we got our paws on! (and this isn’t even the full range!) Some tips: If you have an aggressive chewer (or an annoying pooch that wouldn’t leave you alone), we strongly recommend the deer ribs, kneecaps and sinew! And yap, no kidding man. The Deer Kneecap is probably the only thing that …

Woof-A-Thon on 12 April 2015!

Published by

We’re very honoured to be invited to participate in Woof-a-thon, the first pet walkathon organised by Singapore Heart Foundation! When: Sunday, 12 April 2015 Time: 4pm to 7pm Where: Bishan Park, Grand Lawn 1 (Opposite Dog Run Area) We all know exercising is great for our health. So why not make it fun by doing it with our pets. This is exactly what this event is about! Woof-a-thon aims to advocate the cardiovascular benefits associated with walking, a low-impact physical activity which pet owners are more inclined to partake. #suddenlysoknowledgeable #seeiamsmartone #ionlypretendtobestupid #pecanisreallystupid #itakefrompressreleaseonela Although registration for the Buddy walk has closed for pet owners, participants without pets are still welcome to join in the walk for free! No worries if you’ve pets (and have missed the opportunity to register), there are many other exciting things happening on the spot as well. Needless to say, we are really looking forward to a nice day out with our parents.  Pecan ah ma can’t wait to show off her cool sneakers.  #hengshenotwearingjimmychoos As for me…. I’m stuck …
