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 …

Proud Members of JRM!

[Disclaimer: the following blog entry contains some of the most unflattering shots of me.] There’s an awesome group for Jack Russells in Singapore called Jack Russell Mania.  In fact, Mummy and myself are Facebook members of the group for quite a while now.  JRTs FTW! Anyway, JRM had a booth at Serangoon CC over the weekend. So, Mummy swung by to show her support as well as to purchase a couple of shirts just for Pecan ah ma and myself. Looks great?? Well, the tricky part was… it comes in just two sizes – S and M.  Mummy went ahead to purchase one of each size. I mean, sounds right since I’m about a size bigger than ah ma. The problem was……. it was not right. NOT RIGHT AT ALL. I look like a freaking SAUSAGE! #notimpressed #NOTimpressed #NOTIMPRESSED On the other hand, ah ma looks like a youngster wearing a cropped top. Life no fair siah. #mylifesucks Of course Mummy had to burst into her evil laughter for a good five minutes, before putting …

Donut’s replicas

So, Pecan ah ma finally misplaced Donut. WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA…. (oops… cannot appear so evil…) Ahem, I mean awwwwww~ And she was walking around aimlessly for a few days. Of course, Mummy was as upset about the missing toy as ah ma was.  Hence, it was not at all surprising when Mummy came back with not one, but two Donut replicas! O.M.G. I wasn’t too impressed in befriending ah ma’s new friends until Mummy told me some great news.. Yap, one of them is for me! Wheeeeeeeeeeee~ I initially chose the green one. But of course, Pecan decides that the grass is greener on the other side and headed for mine instead. Oh well, no point fighting with crazy old ladies.  So I happily picked up the brown one and headed to my little corner to enjoy gnawing on it. Was having a great time….  until… the ah ma decides that she wants my spot too. AHhhhhhhhhhhhh…. As usual, after Mummy had a good laugh at my plight, she slowly lured ah ma away and I had …

Things grown ups do – Doodle at work…

Mummy has a bimonthly deadline at work: which means that she is a walking dead for about a week every two months.  (Yap, that also means we are stuck with Daddy while Mummy works late. No likey~) I always thought that she was slogging her arse off at work creating great works (with us as inspiration) like this. Until I borrowed her phone to look through her photos on a whim and saw this…. Say what~~~ Yap, apparently stupid Mummy doodles at work… at my expense! #howcanlikethat #ilooklikeaperverteduncle I mean, at least draw me to look more handsome ma. Tsk tsk tsk… I was not the least happy.  #notimpressed On the other hand, Pecan ah ma was very tickled. Of course la, they didn’t draw on your face ma!!! Pui~ Thankfully, her colleagues were wayyyy sweeter and their doodles were so much more flattering. Like this… #samisaking And this.. #Samtheangel (But hor, the one on the left looks like banana leaves…) Well, at least she gave me some treats to pacify me. K la, forgive …

It’s time for a celebration!!!!

Nope…  It’s not our birthdays.. It’s just that Mummy received news that allowed her to finally heave a sigh of relief.. Yap.  Pecan’s biopsy came back clear!  So in other words, this feisty ah ma is here to stay!!!!! That also means I’ll be stuck with her for a while more… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

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 …

A dog’s box!

Who says boxes are only for cats? As a Canis Lupus familiaris (aka dogs), we can be rather fond of this magic cardboard too! One of Daddy’s online shopping (prob one of his war hammy related stuff) came in an extremely big box. Just when Daddy was about to toss it out, Mummy had an idea and decided to let us have some fun with it. So with a penknife, she cut over a couple of openings and viola~ My little boxy fortress! It was pretty awesome. It was so much fun hiding in it. Hee, I swear Mummy couldn’t find me and kept walking past me without realizing! #myfortisinformidable  A happy camper in his little fort. Sigh~  Too bad for me, Pecan ah ma decided that she wanted to join in the fun as well.  So she forcefully squeezed in MY the box with me. #notimpressed Ah ma clearly loves it too.  (Spot me sulking in the background?) She was small enough to weave in and out of the cutouts. Not pleased that my privacy …

Our weekly groom

It’s time for something we anticipate weekly… Our weekly brush! It usually starts out with a round of furminator, which me and Pecan ah ma HATE! Mummy has to wrestle us to get that done, hence no pics, We dislike it as it can get a little pricky when she combs us. But Mummy’s a fan as it is really effective in removing stray hair. Thankfully, the second part of our weekly groom is wayy more bearable. Actually, it’s even kinda enjoyable! Using a pin brush, Mummy tries to neaten our coat and scratch any other stray hair left behind. It really feels darn good! As if we were having a good belly scratch! If you’re wondering if Jack Russells shed. Yes, we do. In fact, we shed a new dog everyday. There was so much hair that it could be rolled into a fur ball! Maybe we should do something with that hair.  Like weave it into a toy? We were brainstorming for some cool ideas. Of course, as usual, Mummy has other plans. …

I am FIERCE!

Mummy showed me a picture of my best bud, Jäger and I was in awe! He looked so fierce! Rawrrrrrrrrrr No wonder he can scare off his brother (Snowy, the goldie) easily. I wanna be like him!! Maybe this way I can stop being a wuss and finally scare Pecan ah ma off. (She’s the Empress Dowager of the household btw. Yap, in other words, she wears the pants.) #mylifesucks So I started practising, hard.  Here’s my best attempt! Mummy couldn’t stop laughing when I showed her my ‘mean’ face.  In fact, she kept calling me a “Gu Niang“ So horrible. I think I look quite vicious ma. But as usual, Pecan ah ma agrees with her.  She just wouldn’t give a damn about me and my ‘fierceness’ and simply walked away when I confronted her. #whyyounogivemeface Oh well, guess I just have to work harder.  Grrrrr
